Having endured weeks of Eve and Saul and dogs, I'm having a very, very difficult time being teased with having been deprived of the Shauna narrative; "a nightmare with her lies and wild behavior." Couldn't there be at least some mind-clouds of what happened, Shauna's looks, the #$%@ dialogue, etc. How does Dad/Jeff know the specifics of all this anyway? It can only mean he was involved in ShaunaFest to some degree. And how did Mary miss all that?! Her meddling super powers have dwindled for sure. Just disappointing.
Could Jeff be enjoying keeping things from Mary? Maybe the constant meddle-fest finally got to him, and he’s having fun provoking Mary’s astonishment: “Who??! When??! I never heard about THAT!” I know I’d be ticked off by someone who says things like “I don’t really know his new friend Ashlee” when the truth is “I saw her from a distance for a few minutes while she ranted at Drew, and then they left.”
How long will it be before Mary realizes she is a "rescue"? What is he rescuing her from? How long will it be before she dumps him for comparing her to the wackos his son dates?
Wait a cotton pickin’ minute, Jeff. You share this rescue complex with Drew? Are you calling Mary a rescue? Mary does not need rescuing. Mary DOES the rescuing, capisce?!
Hey, I recognize these panels. The only difference is that last time June used them, Mary’s cowl neck sweater was purple. Oh well… Just remember though, June, when you re-use these for a third time, to erase the claw marks down the side of Jeff’s face. They should have healed by then.
Wonderful commentary, everyone! Ashlee and Shauna have invigorated us.
And it was so helpful that KM specified that Shauna is "Drew's former girlfriend" lest we forgot overnight and spent this morning wondering, "Huh? Who's Shauna?"
I love that Jeff is swigging his brewski right from the bottle like a regular Joe. Very un-doctor-like. This must irritate Mary to no end, and I'm surprised she hasn't admonished him yet.
SATURDAY “We are drawn to what we need to learn”??? How the heck is this germane to the conversation? Does she mean that Drew should learn to behave like Shauna? (The ex-girlfriend Shauna, not the barber Shauna who cuts Drew’s hair, that is.) Mary’s word salad is past its use-by date and is slimy and discolored — bleah.

Wanders, you’re extra sharp today!

Ahaha...he thinks Drew goes for hot, but nutty, women due to a "rescue complex." What an idiot.

Mary doesn't really know Drew, but from what she saw, he needed meddling and she seems to want to provide that.

A reminder that May 20 was National Rescue Dog Day. Don't shop, adopt.
Drew is the adult son of a man Mary sees once a month. In the real world she would not be part of his life.
SATURDAY:
Jeff could have learned what Mary’s been teaching him at a monastery. It would have been a whole lot quieter and I’ve heard the mead’s not bad.
