"Where did who go, Margo? No one's been in the apartmen—I mean, hospital... since you went into your coma! Now just close your eyes... there was no need for you to change into your Green Blazer of Renewed Consciousness... I'm going to give you a little injection to help you sleep better... just relax..."

This is a phenomenal dadaist demonstration. People will be talking about this for years to come I'm sure.
Nobody's sending poor Frank scripts anymore. The instructions just say "Panel one: draw Tommie and Greg. Panel two: draw Tommie and Margo." I will miss this blog, but it's time to pull the plug. Couldn't you switch to Rex Morgan MD, ladies? There's a lot of mileage in Sarah, the precocious demon child.
OK, where is this all going? Something may or may not have just happened that may or may not move this strip towards some kind of conclusion. What are your thoughts, my friends? Will it be...
a) The past months (years) have simply been a strange dream, from which Margo just woke. None of these people existed, and she's in a different reality (sort of like the conclusion of the 2nd Bob Newhart Show).
or
b) We're now entering Margo's dream world of feverish hallucinations on her death bed (speculations from the Comics Curmudgeon). Maybe she's already in heaven?
or
c) The story line will continue to wander inexplicably and will never have a conclusion before it simply disappears altogether from the media.
c)
I think RockDoc is on to something. The picture will get fuzzy, out of focus, then sharpen on Frank Bolle, laying in a hospice bed. Apartment 3G inside a snow globe on the table beside him. Nurses will be talking over Frank like he's not there: "The Alzheimer's has gone so far that he doesn't speak or look at anyone anymore. Who knows what's going on inside his head these days." Slow focus on the snowglobe...and...SCENE.
Definitely c).
I guess Margo was in one of those Fully-Dressed Upright comas we've been hearing so much about.
Geez did LuAnn visit Margo even once while she was in a coma? Are we sure LuAnn and Tommie are two different people? Maybe Tommie is just LuAnn in a red wig....
Either Greg was so crestfallen after being hushed by Tommie that he just slunk away, or Tommie holds him in such disdain that she just assumes Margo can't be asking about him and must be inquiring about someone else.
I'm equally entertained by either of these possibilities.
LuAnn doesn't have to actually VISIT Margo - I mean she DID pray and all. Surely that's enough? Perhaps she'll send along some Jam when Margo's convalescing.
I like the idea of switching this blog to be about Rex Morgan when Accident 3G ends.
Also, my vote is C.
Looks like someone is going to have to deal with a forceful removal of all his things from the apartment in due course. At least that's what I foresee happening once Tommie realises what's happened!
