How could you not be reeling, Mary? I know I am reeling from the shock myself. First of all, I feel badly that somebody died, but really, Olive KNEW?? It makes absolutely no sense, unless Olive has some sort of INTUITION and a special CONNECTION! It really is the only explanation. Now let me make more animal faces with my paper cup.
That expression on Mary's face: it's what I imagine is the look on a serial killer's face before embarking on his 'next project'.
ReplyDeleteMary looks, in Panel One in today's post, just like my Granddog when he thinks I might try to swipe his chew toy.
ReplyDeleteI do think that it's helpful that Mary and her buddy have switched from steaming caffeinated drinks to Plain Water. Mary needs to Come Down.
"Right now, I could smash this glass and jam a shard through his eyeball and into his brain and he would NEVER see it coming. And everyone else in this cafeteria would be like 'OH MY GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT OLD LADY JUST DID THAT!' and run away in fear. I have this power."
ReplyDeleteWe've all had that thought, though, right? ... Right?
"Dang, the rabies from that woodland creature that bit me the other day is kicking in. Not only am I unable to swallow the water that I crave from this plastic cup, I have the urge to bite Dr. Drew's face off!"
ReplyDeletePanel 2: Mary emits shocking rays. Look out Drew!
ReplyDeleteMary is not only reeling, but the shock has caused her to look her true age (132, as a rough estimate). Dr. Drew is about to prescribe an emergency facelift, with one of Mountview's non-addicted plastic surgeons.
ReplyDeleteI'm still reeling from the fact that the hospital is so poorly run (and has never heard of HIPPA), that staff openly discuss patient's deaths and serious HR issues about specific doctors in the hallways and cafeteria.
ReplyDeleteThat's what Olive really should have been afraid of!

ReplyDeleteDrew may be a doctor, but he's no scientist. You can't just blithely assume the doc's heroin addiction caused the patient's demise, unless maybe he left his works inside said patient. Heck, one of those gossipy nurses could have lethally botched something, or it might have been due to a complication even Drew couldn't have handled. Or maybe it was just the patient's time to go. But sure, go ahead, blame it on the horse
ReplyDeleteHorse? What horse? Did I miss a horse?
ReplyDeleteOlive will have a future with the TSA at the Santa Royale airport determining who should or shouldn't be allowed on the planes.
