**Cartooniverse** immediatly rushes to **Abby** ’s bedside. He brings piping hot homemade chicken soup. Some onion matzoh with margarine ( 😉 ) , a book for her- "Ancient Healing Incantations of Famed Jewish Entertainers from Fanny Brice to Sarah Berhardt ". He sooths her heated brow with a cool washcloth, soaked in ice water. Applying \*\* Vic’s Vap-O-Rub \*\* to her chestal area in a manner that is almost mostly completely professional in it’s focus and intensity, he yearns to do what he can to heal his good friend. I mean, we’re talking about the mother of all chest rubs here, people. You know…can’t do it half-way, now can I? 😃 He then reads a book to her as she falls asleep, murmering softly of far away lands and strange-tasting foods. As she is in less than a fully aware state of mind, he choses the high road, tucking her in carefully and withdrawing from the room, taking his book and the cold soup with him. 🙂 ---

Don’t worry **Abby** , I released poor **Euty**. His reward for a job well done. 🙂 Now where is **thinksnow**? He owes me a dance… ---

mmmmm. beer good. I bring a whole rack of bottles upstairs to the bar in the dancing room before noticing there’s a conveniently located dumbwaiter. I open it-- only to notice **Tripler** has been stuffed in there after being attacked by marauding paint-ballers. Feel like a beer? ---

Oh Abby, I’m sorry you’re not feeling well. I’m sending positive get well thoughts your way. And with all the care you’re getting from Cartooniverse, I think you’ll be better in no time at all. Barbarian, yes give poor Tripler a beer. Oh, and if it’s not too much trouble, will you bring me a beer, Sweetie? All this dancing the night away with such talented dancers has got me thirsty too. 🙂 I’m glad to hear that Euty’s been freed now.
