Does "I've already done it, Lu Ann" mean "I've already called Jack Riley a million times, what else can I do, why won't you just let it go!!" or does it mean "Yes, I've pushed Lily off the balcony with a tiny little stick-and-handkerchief get-up and a $20 bill she's already eaten; it's up to her to make her own life in the big city now."

I had a roommate like that. You'd ask a question and she'd say something which required you to ask another question or more questions. This process could go on for quite awhile and would always make me want to tear my hair out.
It's what we engineers call a low signal to noise ratio (ie. the amount of information you get is a tiny proportion of the overall noise). You could definitely say the same about this strip.
How annoying!
Wait! Why do I read this strip??
Oh yeah, things like Lu Ann's collar, the concept of large animal vets taking in orphan deer and deformed hands!!
Hilarious!
Tommie should really have that claw looked at...
Maybe Jack Riley is a hand specialist.
YES! Lu Ann is back, and she's lookin' prairie-chic! I hope she didn't get any deer droppings on the hem of that adorable frock!
By the way, the answer to "What can you do, Tommie?" in this case is: call the next veterinarian on the list, of course! What's so special about this Jack Riley character? Harumph!
Isn't it interesting, that the only vet Tommie could find is named Jack Riley, and not, ooh, I dunno- Jorge Rodriguez, Friedrich Von Seffel, Kamlish Patel, or Sheila Rabinowitz?
@Dawn Weston's Evil Twin,
Just as interesting as an all-white NYC! Shulock probably thought "Riley" was ethnic enough, thank you very much!!
