Demons

Saturday December 20, 2013
Uh, Dr. Bentley didn't say anything about PTSD, nor the weird claim that it could be cured. He probably thought Cole's long-term health issues might be single dad-itis, or chronic gym teacher hair. More importantly, check out Dr. Bentley in panel two. Where, exactly, does the demons' power get mitigated to? Could it be to a certain DR. BEELZEBENTLEY? Marty feels a pang of dread.

Not sure what about the free hospital that "cures" PTSD made it the tough choice. Maybe it was everyone's unyielding support for the idea. Or the demon-mitigating thing.

Two weeks later in a room with a green curtain and green lampshade...everything has been settled.
Cole did or didn't have surgery to get rid of demons, he's going to the free hospital for veterans (thanks wealthy donor!) and Marty can go and, um, stay there maybe? Maybe Marty can be a housekeeper at a nearby hotel and board with a nice family and go visit Cole on the weekends and take him outside to feed ducks. It doesn't matter. It has all been resolved.

Thank God Margo's back! Bring on the snark! This strip really needs it.

I think we are meant to see that the decision was a hard one because Cole would have to move far, far away from Lu Ann and their non-relationship might be less of a relationship. I don't know because none of that storyline was real nor compelling.

It was totally hilarious, though. Cole's overnight recovery from brain surgery! Cole popping out about an inch of hair on the surgery site overnight! Tori and Link losing the $500 in some casino in Niagara Falls!
