Ah, the well of loneliness...

Followed by the walk of shame!

And speaking of a well of loneliness...

Alice! Shut that damn window, girl.

You're lettin' all the stank out!

And finally...

Who knew?

And based on the examples below?

I can't imagine what those 'Three Full-Color Pull-Out Posters' depict.

Hmm.

Interesting 'co-habitation'.

Housing? In what? A bathhouse?
