Summary
  • A single man sits down after eating a good rarebit to smoke a cigar before going to bed. Looking in front of him, he sees the smoke forming what looks like women. It starts with a single woman, then a lot of women that turn mean and start to attack him. In the last panel he comments that he had his rarebit, his cigar and a dream that goes with the rarebit and now he can go to bed.
