Ouch!

Nice bedside manner, Dr. Professor. Slick, Bobbie. Because "Dr. and Mrs. Papagoras" rolls right off your tongue. Also, definitely the first time the Professor has been called Doctor, probably because HEY HE'S NOT REALLY A DOCTOR. Jeez. You may have fooled Bobbie, but from the looks of panel two, she's about a bazillion years old, plus she's hitting the pill bottle and she's so out of it that she almost got hit by a bus, so don't feel too proud of yourself.

It's hard not to want to distance yourself from Ruby when she's wearing like six bows and scarves and whatnot, but she's not even hoping to be considered a romantic interest; she's just looking for an promotion from "local acquaintance." What can I say, Ruby? No rain, no rainbow. You'll bounce back!

Ruby is lucky "Dr" Papagorus didn't describe her as a bag lady he was giving charity to! They really should make her over; I'm surprised Margo lets her go out as her "wedding representative"!

LMFAO, I like how Ruby isn't even trying to get with the doctor, she just wants to be considered a friend. Friends with benefits, perhaps? Yea, Bobbie does look a little haggard, maybe she should sit down...

What's wrong with Ruby's sense of self that all she's aiming for is to be put in the friend zone? I guess that IS better than being "just neighbors." I've lived in the same house for ten years and I saw just a neighbor at the store and called him Joe several times. Then he corrected me that his name is Lewis. What did he expect from just a neighbor?
