(MASK MAN CHECKS FOR MASK-MAN MAIL)
Published on November 26, 1998
MASK MAN: Someone’s been fooling with my mail — I know it. Someone’s fooling with my mail. Where is my "Thank You Mask Man"?
APOSTLE: There are no more "Thank You Mask Man"s; the messiah returned during the night.
MASK MAN: The messiah? What does that have to do with me?
APOSTLE: Well you see, men like yourself, you thrived upon the continuance of segregation, violence and disease. Now the messiah’s returned, all is pure — you’re in the shithouse.
MASK MAN: Well then I’ll make trouble. Because I’m geared for it. And I must have a Thank You, Mask Man.
