Time


Oh, it's time, is it? Now it's time??? Not like, immediately upon finding the fawn? That was not a time to consider options other than bringing it to your New York apartment???

What other options is it time to consider? Time for Lily to apply to that exclusive preschool a few blocks away?

I just can't with this plotline. I want to believe that the "other options" Margo is considering are as sinister as it appears they are in panel 2, but I can't. I want to hear her saying that in her best villain voice, but I feel like we've lost that Margo. Come back to us, Margo.

Deer skin gloves.

Having lived in many NYC apartments, which usually have paper thin walls composed of old tissues and spit, I call shenanigans on the fact that no ''grouchy'' neighbors have complained about the deer's various noises, smells & vermin producing qualities. In my first apartment, I couldn't take a shower after 9PM, without someone thumping their ceiling with a broom, and shouting ''PIPE DOWN!''

Anonymous has a really good point! The apartment above me used to have a black lab... on hardwood floors, that dog running around would wake me up every morning. (useful on weekdays, devestating on weekends) I can't imagine hearing those little hooves tap dancing around! And I'm pretty sure the by-laws will definitely call for their eviction.

Margo's flanderization reached its conclusion a couple of weeks ago when she was ok with the deer. Actually this isn't flanderization, that implies some remnant of the Margo of ages past remained.

All I know is, if being raised by TV has taught me anything it's that Lily's mom wasn't killed but merely stunned in the accident. She'll show up at 3G determined to reclaim her fawn, which Tommie won't want to give up.
Finally, a gun-armed doe will confront Tommie, Lily and Jim. Jim will lunge for the gun, a close quarters struggle will ensue, and one of them will crumple to the floor, but WHICH ONE!?
