Or Dawn slaps Drew:

Well, slap my head and call me... Huh, I didn't realize that &#^@% meant "silly." Here I was, thinking they were swearing at each other!

My forensic "Slap Analysis" (c) shows that the slap that Dawn issued to Drew is much more impactful and therefore effectively the best panel. It has 14 Slap Spikes surrounded by innumerable points of the "Hurt Halo" (c) around Drew. Ashlee and Shauna's slaps can only manage a paltry eight Slap Spikes. Additionally, Dawn appears to actually have karate chopped Drew, unlike the other two who have only applied hand slaps. This data is the result of careful analysis, much like Kevin Costner in JFK..."down and to the left"....

Oh, definitely, Shauna Of The BrainDead slaps Trashlee while looking up at the ceiling, hoping for a bolt of lightning to strike her rival dead.

None of them show any blocking motions--it's all an offensive game. That said, Dawn looks more in control (though perhaps just because she knows Earth-2 Drew won't fight back). Actually if the sound effect didn't say "slap" I'd think she gave him a karate chop. Ashlee and Shauna use more wrist motion, depending on the whiplash effect, but Dawn holds hers straight and relies on her arm muscles.

I wonder if Drew will try to break up the fight? Or will he stand back until it is over, tend to the wounds, and go off into the sunset with the victor?

I’m going with Dawn giving the WHOMP!! to Drew. What steely control by Dawn! I’m also dazzled by Drew’s blue-back hair and Dawn’s helmet hair. Mr. Giella rocks!

An earring pull would be more exciting, and likely more painful, than the slapping. Ashlee and Shauna haven’t even tossed the coffee. Did they carefully set down those steaming cups on the pavement?

I agree with the majority here, there's no beating ol' Joe's perfect depiction. Just popping in to say I wish I could upvote all these comments. What a funny bunch!

@tkraft -- Inspector, that is some first-class slap forensics. Well done!

Shauna might have gotten the better of this if she was also able to get some of her wrist-rash cooties on Ashlee.

Hmmm, what a choice for Drew.

hmmm said...

I’m not a huge fan of face slapping but in this case, I guess I’ll go with Uncle Joe’s. At least he was able to depict a good wallop without resorting to vulgarities.

Can flying coffee be far behind?

Burn unit! STAT!

Just grabbed my paper from the stpes, and this strip was the first thing I saw.

Best. MW. Strip. Ever.

I'm waiting for Mary to jump off the counter from behind them with a folding chair.

Can we PLEASE end up on the Maury show.

"Today on Maury it's a case of 'he's mine, $%&@#'. We'll talk to Shauna and Ashlee who both lay claim to Dr. Drew. Then we'll have Dr. Drew out here on stage to give us his final choice."

If Ashlee knocks Shauna's wig off, will we finally see her ear?
