Okay, so everyone, even Margo, says: sounds good, let's keep a frickin deer in the apartment! Fine. So what's the best case scenario here? I can't imagine a storyline that doesn't involve several of the following
- ruined furniture
- ruined car upholstry
- ticks
- diseases
- disapproving vets
- spectacular deer-related credit card bills
- major tears
- an expository local news story
- the police
- deer tazing
- deer death

Yeah, this may be the goofiest storyline yet.
My working theory is that Shulock originally wrote this story about a stray puppy and Bolle drew this thing which looked like a deer, or Yoda, or something, so Shulock decided to make the best of it.
After all, you can buy kitten and puppy milk replacement in large grocery stores, so Tommie going out first thing in the morning for supplies makes some sense. Sadly, this is the best case I can make for this dismal storyline and dismal comic strip.
So, Tommie did "research" in the internet and missed the thousands of sites which said to call a certified wildlife rehabilitator. She's head of nursing at a hospital, right? Shouldn't she have more sense than that?
