The fear of the high probability of hearing bad health news is different from actually hearing the bad news, which the Complete and Total Loser did today on a phone call from a doctor with recent test results.
It seems the Loser will lose his life within a year.
How does he feel about this? you ask. He is not able to come up with words that can describe it, and it would be of no benefit to others if he could.

A sad Charlie Brown. |
The daily newspaper in Complete and Total Loser's home city runs the Peanuts strip daily. When the Loser was a child in the '60s, he read the strips and howled with laughter. Now he reads them and—they're still pretty good.
He doesn't laugh much at anything now, but if he did, some of the Peanuts strips would be what he laughs at.
Charles Schultz had an enviable career.
