I think the problem is that Drew Cory's character is being written by a woman who wants Drew to break up with Liza, not realizing that guys don't break up, we dump. Yes, Drew agrees to meet with Liza in Conference Room Three, but he doesn't show up. Yes, Liza gets starry eyed as they pass outside of ICU, but Drew doesn't get all nervous, he just says, "hey," and then kisses his new girlfriend. Today's Full Strip

you are right Wanders. They say thiey will call but they never do.
It suddenly occurred to me that Nurses should be up in arms about the way their profession is being presented in this strip. Do they really have so much free time. Why aren't they taking care of their patients?
Jill should be looking into the nursing payroll for her hospital. I am sure it needs trimming.
LiZa: Drew, I've completely taken control of your life, your friends, and your whereabouts. Why aren't you happy?? That's NOT what I've scripted for you.
I am curious as to how LiZa will handle this next bit of bad news coming from Drew's mouth.
I'm just glad those festive festive balloons are still floating about, stuck at the top of the panels!
I'm a woman and I still like Wanders' version better.
Drew, Drew, Drew, what does it take to get though to you? Liza just wants you to be happy - you're gonna be happy! Capish? She is NOT going away.......unless you, oh, I don't know, kill her or something.
Here's the perfect opportunity for Drew to drive home his point:
Take out a scalpel out and say, "LiZa, did I want to go with you to Lake Boondocks for the weekend? NO!" Then pop a balloon. "Did I want to go to an Hombres game with you? NO!" Pop another balloon. Go around and pop all the balloons like that and finally go "Do I ever want to SEE you again? NOOooo!" Then stick the scalpel in the middle of the table! Sounds CRUEL I know, but hey, this is LiZa and she probably STILL wouldn't take the hint!
Something like a male LiZa actually happened to me. A guy I'd dated 2 months suddenly arranged for us to meet the pastor of a local church and discuss wedding plans. After breaking up with him, he taped 8x10 glossy portraits of himself on every pane on the outside of every window in my apartment and his bio/resume on the front door ... and he called to introduce himself to my parents.
@Brick: so, how are you two getting along now?
@Brick -- wow!!! that IS like our LiZa! You must have been totally weirded out by that!
Well, I'm disappointed b/c I thought Drew was actually pointing to a real man (one "who would like that sort of attention") standing right outside the Conference Room Three window!!!
I was giddy with anticipation of just WHO that might be! The janitor? The bald lab tech? Wilbur??? Now I'm let down as I realize Drew was not talking about anyone specific. *sigh*
I see a bottle of champagne and an OPEN bottle of wine on the table--for a party that started at 9 am! Bet those are going home with Jill. And I'm a little concerned for the patients who are having surgery at Mountview Hospital this morning.
Brick, you are safe. Giella could never draw so many 8 by ten photos in one strip.
