"25th Aug. 1970. Dear Olga, I hear there is some kind of epidemic in S.A. Hope you are O.K. It has been very hot here, but is cooler now, thank goodness!
I'm always glad to hear from you when you feel like writing. Love from D.F.B."

Scene: A beautifully chaotic comic illustration featuring stylized felines modeling wigs on mannequin heads, undergoing human haircuts, and showing expressions of alarm.
