Ahhh, a classic surprise switcheroo
So thanks to @dumbingofage I am COMPLETELY ENTHRALLED by this current Mary Worth(!) storyline where some dude abuses prescription painkillers.

But the hackneyed writing and INCREDIBLE art make this one of the funniest comics I’ve read in ages. A @joshreads style breakdown of my favorite panels follows. I’ll go in roughly chronological order.
