This Modern World

THIS MODERN WORLD by Tom Tomorrow

POLITICIANS ARE PROFESSING OUTRAGE AT THE DISCOVERY OF A RUSSIAN SPY IN THE CIA...

WELL THAT'S DIFFERENT--BECAUSE--UM--BECAUSE--

--BECAUSE WE'RE AMERICAN'S

RICK AMES IS ACCUSED OF BETRAYING HIS COUNTRY FOR FINANCIAL GAIN--BY REVEALING THE NAMES OF SOVIET CITIZENS WHO WERE WORKING FOR THE CIA...

--SOVIETS WHO WERE, IN OTHER WORDS, BETRAYING THEIR COUNTRY--PRESUMABLY FOR FINANCIAL GAIN..

FRANKLY I'M NOT SURE ANYONE SHOULD BE LAYING CLAIM TO THEIR MORAL HIGH GROUND HERE...

IT TOOK THE CIA ALMOST TEN YEARS TO GROW SUSPICIOUS OF AMES...WHO MADE $70,000 A YEAR, AND YET LIVED IN A $540,000 HOME, DROVE A $65,000 JAGUAR, AND FREQUENTLY TRAVELLED OVERSEAS...

HEY--I JUST KNOW HOW TO BUDGET!

TO DO

PICK UP LAUNDRY DEPOSIT KGB PAYOFF RETURN VIDEO

OF COURSE, THIS IS THE SAME INTELLIGENCE AGENCY WHICH CAUGHT UNAWARES BY THE COLLAPSE OF THE SOVIET UNION...AND GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT ELSE...

SIR, I'VE BEEN ANALYZING THE DATA--AND APPARENTLY GEORGE BUSH LOST THE '92 ELECTION! A MAN NAMED BILL CLINTON IS NOW PRESIDENT!

CLINTON, EH? I'LL NOTIFY THE DIRECTOR IMMEDIATELY!
