"More...Misery Loves Company" is apparently a series of strips with a simple unified theme and a loose, childish drawing style. There are 4 pages of these strips in the book. Notice the touch of decorative design work along the panel borders.
Top Caption: "Misery is when you train a rat to run through a maze for science and 10 minutes before the experiment is due the rat dies."
Middle caption: "Misery is when your mother throws away your best levis because she thought they were worn out."
Bottom caption: "Misery is when everyone cheats and you get caught."
Artist: Suzanne Heller
Caption: "Officer, I think I'm being followed."

This is one of my favorites. There's no caption, but I love the visual humor and art style of this one in particular.
