I worry about all the frat boys who read Mary Worth who may be misled by the medical staff at Mountview Hospital who seem absolutely convinced of the magical sobering properties of food. Normally, I'd stand by the expertise of such a distinguished team, and never dream of seeking a second opinion after being diagnosed by one of these fine doctors. However, I feel it is my ethical responsibility to clarify for the frat boys that in this case the Mountview Hospital staff do not know what they are talking about. Food does not sober you up.Today's Full Strip

Jill's starting to look like someone who's escaped from a Chick Tract. Any moment now she'll be running a game of D&D.
I only hope Jill doesn't try to drive off in her car to get away from the naysayers.
Ugh - how have the emotional highs of "HA HA HA HA" and "the problem with you people is that you don't have any imagination" deteriorated to Jill's soddenlly refusing food at the rehearsal dinner? Was the whole point of introducing Jill's character (and for that matter, Adrian and Scott's wedding) so that we could be shown yet again the evils of the drink? I'm starting to think "yes." Most likeable character in this whole plot development: Citizen Cane.
Personally, I could use Jill's stare to drill holes in some wood for a project this weekend.
is that detective scott or dr jeff in panal 2 ? they both wear orange jackets and since he started dancing dr jeff looks 30 years younger
Wanders is absolutely right about food and its non-sobering effect. About all it does is distract from more drinking, although, in Jill's case, it seems too late for that.
We can only hope that Jill will not be sobered up in time for the ceremony "tomorrow."
@ Tony: Let's ask her!
"Jill, will you be sobered up in time for the ceremony "tomorrow?""
Jill: "No."
The waiter or whatever he is looks so dejected in panel 2. Like he spent all morning making those circles of broiled flesh and now no one wants to eat them :(
TeacherPatti, I thought so too. Maybe nobody is eating them at all.
Adrian looks and acts so mature today. I guess, as a professionally trained physician, she rises to the occasion when "an incident" occurs.
I also love part 2 of “How to Draw Really Expressive Eyebrows.” A masterpiece!
Wait - that looks a little like Scott serving those round food items - has he taken a second job?
I believe Scott is doing double duty as the server. After being scammed out of the 50K Adrian and Scott are on a budget.
Where's Drew?
Adrian. Adrian. Just listen to me for a second.
Let Jill drink.
Just let her. She's the only entertaining thing to happen in this strip in almost three years. We've had to content ourselves with a rack of medical equipment for amusement up until now.
Shut. Your pie hole. Adrian.
I am taking this storyline as a lesson in how important it is to hire a competent, professional wedding planner. Such a person would have done reference checks on, for example, the rehearsal dinner caterer and we wouldn't have the embarrassment of no actual food being served except taupe-colored biscuits that the bride- and groom-to-be have to carry around in a futile attempt to get their guests to eat SOMETHING before they go into hypoglycemic shock or get drunk beyond coherence. But, I guess since Adrian's only a part-time, reduced-hours physician, she couldn't afford one of those.
What would have been too perfect for words would have been an ice sculpture in the shape of two wedded-for-life swans that Jill could have fallen onto and crushed. Sigh...
Jill is maybe the long-lost daughter of Helen Clark, related to Kurt. Alcoholism runs in the family.
We can always count on our Wanders for helpful public service announcements! What medical school did Jill go to, anyway?
oops, I meant Adrian, of course. What medical school did Adrian go to, that taught her to feed a Jill, starve a drunken rage?
I suspect that those appetizers are what drove her to drink in the first place. That's why she says "No!" so fervently. What are they, anyway? Mini hamburgers? Salmon flavored vanilla wafers?
Chester is glad he skipped that rehearsal dinner. It's like the medical school dropout reunion. Even hospital Hi Fi didn't show up.
Rehearsal Dinner 101: SERVE DINNER before the dancing and boozing. Who paid for this dinner anyway? I don't think WE-TV expected this one!
Fun comments everyone. I'm confused by the waiter too. At first I assumed it was Scott because of the orange suit. But since there has been no other sign of him at this quote-unquote dinner, I'm assuming he was a no-show.
