God help me, I know it displays the mentality of a third-grader -- but every time those two fossils natter away about "going to the bum boat," I giggle like a school girl.
In panel two, we see Mary's longstanding plan finally coming to fruition, as she slowly begins to consume Dr. Jeff with her mandible hand. "Yes, I finally see what love really looks like -- for PRAYING MANTISES." (Praying manti? What's the plural of "mantis"?)
It reminds me of this classic from the late, lamented Dysfunctional Family Circus:
All I have to say is, ewwwwwwwwww.

You got it right... it is "mantises."
Why does Mary have amoebas on her dress?
Lots of glomming in these cartoon panels.

Who the hell has a pink chair -- besides a woman with amoebas on her dress? It's a color that doesn't easily hide the yak stains from that dialogue. Yuck.

Someone turn a firehose on those frisky geezers. Drew is sick if watching his father score makes him feel warm and tingly.

Susan, I hate to break it to you but this scene is taking place at Dr. Jeff's home. So, that's who has a pink couch.
