It depends what your definition of "good" is. If you define this story as "good," then by all means, seeing flower fairies, receiving instructions from angels that you are inherently incapable of following, and getting a gut feeling that a doctor with a dubious name is bad, then yes, it's a very good thing.
As of this moment, our petition to get Dr. Kapuht fired has 11 signatures! Only six more to go before we have the requisite 17!! Let's get Dr. Kapuht fired today!
By the way, thank you Toots McGee for sending me Karen Moy's latest masterpiece: Searching and Other Stories of Mary Worth

What's up with the permanent grimace on Dr. Eddie's face, anyway?
Ed and Evy had me fooled - they treated Olive as if she were an annoyance, not "very special!" I bet Mary was "very special" as a child too, and she parlayed that into status as a world-class meddler.
And now, thanks to Mary, Olive will be able to control her parents from here on out. "Don't make me take that test tomorrow! Mrs. Hairhelmet is a BAD TEACHER!"
Evy's newfound concern for Olive (her baby!) is aging her rapidly. No wonder she blew off Parenting for so long.
I'm just glad that Mary's hair has recovered so beautifully from that frightening scene on Sunday when her wet coif was rendered in orange. . .Just too jarring to see her that way. I shudder at the memory.
No, darn it. I will not sign the petition. This is a witch hunt. Nobody has presented a shred of evidence that the good doctor is a bad doctor. Get back to me when he removes Olive's whole torso instead of just the cyst.
This is the weirdest Mary Worth storyline I can remember reading in the last 20 years. Not that I've exactly been a faithful reader but still, yeesh.
I would have signed the petition, but that would have ruined my quest to be The Only Person On Earth Not On Twitter Or Facebook. But, obviously, Dr Kapuht needs to be professionally kaput, since he is clearly a reanimated Aldo Kelrast sans mustache.
Just you wait. When Moy ties up all the loose ends and brings this marvelous story to a satisfying conclusion, I expect all of you haters to apologize.
I read the description of the new Moy desecration and I must tell you all that I remembered all four story lines that are in the book. That made me weep a little.
I would like to have a a Lego Mountview Hospital Set
Uh, oh, Ed and Evy! Prepare to face the WRATH of WORTH!
I don't think that Dr. Kapuht should be fired based solely on the fact-less complaints of a patient who sees "flower fairies" and talks to "angels." I think little Olive needs a psych evaluation, stat!
I put the strip on Mary diving into the pool on my desktop, and when I was doing a screen share with my coworkers back East, I think they thought I was the one who needed a psych evaluation. I have kept my Mary Worth obsession a secret, but now the truth is coming out. Do you think I could get an appointment with Dr. K? Is he on my healthcare plan?
@fauxprof--Umm...*I* am ruining your Quest.
Or part of it. It all depends upon your perspective.
Or your devotion to Singular Nouns.
Oh yes!!! I most definitely get this new Mary Worth book! ....sniff, sniff...it's close to my heart
Fauxprof,
I am not on Facebook or Twitter either and I was still able to sign the petition.
Thursday
Did checking "the rest of" Olive include a psychiatric evaluation? Flower Fairies, an angel, accusations against a hospital physician who is a specialist in torso cyst removal...
If you're a doctor at Mountview Hospital, you MUST have a stethoscope draped around your shoulders. Otherwise, you would be mistaken for an exterminator.
I signed! If you do, uncheck the box for notifications before submitting. I can not imagine what petitions similar to this one might be! And, yes, explaining this weird Mary Worth hobby is not easy. "I read Mary Worth every day then visit a blog where we all comment and make fun of the writing and drawing. Sometimes we make up stories and songs - there's even a free hidden message!"
Is it illegal to sign the petition twice? I really want that bad doctor fired. I met with the Angels and they told me that Dr. Kapuht doesn't wash his hands between patients. He also takes great pleasure in keeping his stethoscope in the refrigerator.
Dr. Ed Taylor says, "Observe little Olive? Why would we want to do that? We're usually trying to get behind closed doors to engage in shenanigans that little Olive isn't allowed to see!"
Evy Taylor says, "Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk."
Mary Worth says, "I told you so."
