WALLY, HOW CAN YOU BE SO STRESS- FREE?

IT'S QUITE SIMPLE.

STRESS IS CAUSED BY AN UNREALISTIC BELIEF THAT PEOPLE CARE ABOUT YOU.

I, ON THE OTHER HAND, EXPECT PEOPLE TO BE LIKE ME.

LET'S VISIT TED AND I'LL SHOW YOU HOW THIS WORKS.

WHILE HE WAS LYING TO ME, I STOLE HIS STAPLER, SO I CAME OUT AHEAD.

HE FORGOT HIS MUG. I'M GOING TO SLIP THAT PUPPY INTO MY BRIEFCASE.
