Rose Alesworth

I already forgot Jim's last name—it isn't Phillipspot-Townsingshire?—but I guess it must be Alesworth. And I guess if Tommie is all excited to talk to her, Rose is his mom or aunt, not his moneybags ex-wife or accursed leech woman twin sister or OH MY GOD is this actually Jim's true form?? Is Rose about to tell Tommie that JIM DOESN'T EXIST?? oh please oh please oh please

Phone Call

Thursday, February 27

Lu Ann isn't even going to try to guess what kind of accent it is, because to her down-home American sensibilities, anyone who has "some kind of accent" is a dirty foreigner.

Tommie, meanwhile, isn't even going to pretend to be human anymore, as she allows her face to morph into its true form and her limbs grow to their usual incredible length.

At Last

Whuh oh! Does Prof A know about Bambi? Because I foresee a hilarious mix up where the Professor chops up and cooks the deer. I wouldn't totally blame him, since it looks like Tommie bought boxed lamb. (amateur!)

Caller ID

And just when I thought this storyline couldn't get any more boring, we have a mystery female caller.  Who do we think it is loyal readers?

1)  Tommie's boss at the hospital, wondering if she's still alive so that they can send her the notice of job abandonment.
2)  Sally from Fawning Over, calling to discuss Lily's transfer to a venison slaughterhouse pet farm upstate.
3)  Jim, who really went to Vermont to perform as Susan Boyle in a drag revue.  He's testing how believable the voice is.

Leg of Lamb

Oh hell no. Tell me you're not bringing home the butchered appendage of Lily's cloven-hoofed cousin? Have you no decency? Have you no shame? Have you no shirts other then pastel crewnecks?

Mystery Man

"See?!?! He's still well within the 72 hours he said he would be back.  He totally exists and gave me a specific time that he was going to return.  He'll be here any minute now.  Any minute now..."

Pet Farm

This strip has taught me, Tommie's not the idiot, I'm the idiot. I would think, I'm pretty much done with this whole deer thing, I'm just going to take her upstate and let her go. She's a deer, she will figure out that deer eat leaves or whatever. But Tommie has obviously found the thriving New York Deer and Elk Farm Directory! Although I kind of doubt she clicked on any of the links.

But have no fear! Margo will hold her to thinking about having a plan after she smooches with Mr. British for three days straight. (MARGOOOO this is like the tamest threat ever, what is going on with you?? Are you on drugs?? Tell me it's drugs. Tell me we're going to have a "Margo is abusing prescription drugs WHILE THERE IS A DEER ROAMING THE APARTMENT" oh my god that would be awesome)
