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.
