I feel that this panel speaks to the maddening nature of afflictions induced by modern society, and how these impulses are represented and subdued, with a genesis in the realization that the "Down At Lulu's" picture of the world is a fiction. Ominous and foreboding filled with sadness, lonelyness and anxiety, preoccupation with death and violence arise as an equally fantastic countervalimg force. An inescapable result of the mechanization of warfare and the ever increasing dehumanization/insulation hoisted on us by use of systematic fear and separation from the circumstances under which we evolved. A breakdown in the family, a breakdown in the society and a breakdown in the mind.
