"Bless you, dear."

Oh, goodness. First Toby tells her to give her new pet back. Then Jeff is allergic . . . and within MINUTES of walking into her house he tells her to choose between him and it! Between Jeff and the dog! Between a boyfriend she hardly sees since she "rescued" him from Vietnam on the psychic's advice (New readers: Check out them archives. That shit is magical!) and the pet she's been crediting with life-healing properties, who she maybe has already killed Toby in order to keep. Just what kind of position does Dr. Jeff Cory think he's in? Perhaps he is feeling extra desirable because he just dyed his hair? It used to be two-tone, grey and brown; now he has silver highlights. Anyway, weren't they about to go out to dinner? I thought we were headed back to the Bum Boat.

Hey, and check out the arm chub in panel two. Suddenly Mary has elephantiasis over there. Maybe that's why she's been wearing this same outfit for several days - she can't get out of it! Whew - she's not manic after all. By the way, what on earth is behind her head?

yikes. sersly. mary's got a fat arm, jeff's green suit has a black sleeve, they suddenly ran from in front of an entertainment center to in front of a kitchen cabinet & heating duct. don't roy and giella know they're creating extra work for themselves by changing the background scenery superfluously?? maybe that's why they can't change mary's shirt... and yes, they sure did cut to the chase. mary was barely done pretending chester was one of her boos before the ultimatum was thrown down.
