I THOUGHT THE ANTINAUSEA MEDICATION WAS WORKING FOR YOU.

YEAH,

SO?

MO SAYS SYD DID OKAY WITH HER FIRST ROUND OF CHEMO. BUT SHE'S KIND OF ISOLATING HERSELF.

I FEEL BAD WE DIDN'T CHECK IN ON HER, TAKE HER SOME ZUCCHINI BREAD OR SOMETHING.

I E-MAILED HER, AND DIDN'T HEAR BACK. I FIGURED IF SHE WANTED TO SEE ME, SHE'D LET ME KNOW.

ASK HER OUT?! I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF SHE'S A LESBIAN.

HEY, GINGER. LOOK SHARP. HERE COMES THAT GORGEOUS WOMAN WITH THE GOLDEN RETRIEVER.

GIVEN HIS TRACK RECORD, I'D CALL THAT AS GOOD AS A

SIGNED AFFIDAVIT.

AND WHAT'S THIS? ANOTHER TOY? I THOUGHT YOU WERE IN HERE WORKING.

DON'T YELL AT ME. I HAVE

CANCER.

SWEETIE, I KNOW. BUT I HATE TO TELL YOU, YOU'RE NOT TERMINAL. YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO PAY YOUR CREDIT CARD BILL!
