Mark: What a great way to do our part... I don't know why we didn't think of this three wars ago! Danger, discomfort, non-stop stress - for our people on the tip of the spear, life's pretty miserable! Hi, I'm Mark Slackmeyer from Doonesbury, with word on how you can make a difference in the life of one of our frontline heroes. Wouldn't you like to put a smile on the face of a trooper like this? Well, now, for just 37c (cents) a day, you can! Simply tear this strip out every day and mail it to a soldier in the field! Yes, a simple comic strip, something you and I take for granted, can mean so much to someone far away! Soldier: Wow... Comfort comix from home! Mark: Think about it. If you could brighten the day of one of our warriers for less than 38c (cents) a day, then why wouldn't you? Soldier: I don't get it. Mark: Um...well, that's a re-run. Don't you remember menudo?
