Ha ha ha ha ha! Mary thought Olive knew about Dr. Kapuht killing a patient and being addicted to heroin because Olive is psychic and knows everything! Ha ha ha ha ha! Silly Mary. If Olive knew everything, she would have exposed his PERSONAL PROBLEMS in great detail and probably saved the life of that poor patient he killed. Ha ha ha ha ha. Probably.
"You know what was recently revealed about him?" Again, who in the real world talks like this, especially in conversation with a kid? BTW, Mary's expression and body language remind me of Rumplestiltskin's reaction upon learning somebody had a handle on his handle.
ReplyDeleteThese facial expressions on Mary...geez! The levels of evil +/or horror they portray are just a bit over the top considering the circumstances. Take it down a notch in the over-reacting department already.
ReplyDeleteIs it just me or is something up in the art department lately? Mary's head seems to vary in size at whim, the expressions are (as IANAR has pointed out) completely out of control, and the perspective is even more random and unnerving than we're used to. Perhaps it's not just Dr. K. who's hitting the hard stuff...
ReplyDeleteYes, Mary... and I know you drink heavily when you are alone. I know you killed Aldo and I know you launder your money through The Bum Boat.
ReplyDeleteThere is a new know-it-all in town, Mary. Now step aside.
Well, I see others have already commented on the art, but I'll chime in regardless: this isn't Frank Bolle bad, but it does have me worried about Giella.
ReplyDeleteThis is great. It's like Mary was just playing along until now, but now that she's realized that Olive really does have head-exploding psychic powers, she's terrified of her.
ReplyDeleteIt's Labor Day; shouldn't that kid be going back to school sometime this week?
ReplyDeleteI thought the story would end the week Mary chewed it over with Toby poolside, then when the cystectomy actually happened, then when the selfie thing went down, then when we found out about Kapuht's vague personal problems from the gossiping nurses. Now a new week has started and we're still not done? How dead can you beat a dead horse?
ReplyDeleteMary seems to be increasingly freaked out by Olive's psychic powers--that, and the fact the kid is about to take a bite out of a rose in panel one. (The flower fairy in the rosewaseven more alarmed.)
ReplyDeleteMay isn't shocked about what Olive knows. she's shocked that Olive dared to pick one of her precious roses. She didn't even pick it with a stem, just lobbed its little head off and is now playing with it.
ReplyDeleteTo Mary, this is as disturbing as if the little girl were playing with a decapitated human head.
Worse, the little darling seems to be about to lob the thing at her.
Olive's gut instincts have greatly improved after the cyst was successfully removed from her torso.
