| Awful Hospital (Webcomic) | comment |
An ordinary woman's infant son suddenly becomes extremely sick, and his condition progressively worsens no matter what she or other doctors try. After her latest desperate attempt at saving her baby, the woman suddenly awakens in a strange transdimensional hospital of nightmarishly cartoonish design overseen by the dangerously inept and insufferably egotistical Dr. H.M. Phage, T.E., an anthropomorphic bowtie-collecting virus. With only the help of countless unseen things whispering various instructions to her, she must face insane alien doctors of dubious qualification and stability, sanity-shattering worlds and beings, and rude, talking body parts who spout terrible puns in her desperate search for her son's whereabouts. Her predicament becomes even more complicated as she ends up discovering the dark secrets revolving around the hospital's deteriorating condition and the true nature of reality as we know it, and that her infant is connected to something that could pose a grave threat to the multiverse's very existence.The fever-addled brainchild of one Jonathan Wojcik, Awful Hospital: Seriously the Worst Ever is an incredibly strange and astonishingly gross interactive Sci-Fi Body Horror Comedy webcomic that first started on August 1st, 2014.Awful Hospital is ongoing and updated occasionally. Similar to MS Paint Adventures and other Interactive Comics, the comic takes on a vertical panel format with descriptive text and dialogue from the characters appearing below. Readers can use the comment section below to make suggestions not just for what the main character does, but what she can say to other characters as well - this manifests In-Universe as many disconnected voices she's been hearing since she woke up in the Hospital.It can be read from the start here, or from this archive of the comic's existing pages. Updates can be followed via Dr. Phage's twitter feed here. | |

Beneath Notice | |
| Awful Hospital (Webcomic) / int_101500e | comment |
Beneath Notice: Greyzoners have only five (or six) senses accross an extremely narrow band, so, while we're extremely vulnerable to perception filtering, it's usually not bothered with. Besides, even if a greyzoner can tell what's happening, what can they do? This has been both to the Parliament's benefit and detriment. The Parliament has weaponized this by moving humans and even a dog to where they would be able to cause the most damage to reality, but a few of said humans have also slipped the Parliament's leash and caused unpredictable disruptions to their plans. | |

Cosmic Flaw | |
| Awful Hospital (Webcomic) / int_178d1ea1 | comment |
Cosmic Flaw: The villains are Invoking this trope by attacking the fundamental concepts of "sickness" and "health" across The Multiverse of the Perception Range. The Hospital, which embodies the concept of medical care, is falling apart, while Earth suffers a full-fledged Zombie Apocalypse. This turns out to be an Assimilation Plot to subsume the entire Range with an impossibly virulent "alpha malady", using the heroine's infant son as the main infection vector. | |

Stealth Pun: The head surgeon is little more than an entire circulatory system and a gargantuan artificial heart given independent life. Her name? Circula Tori. The receptionist is an amoeba called "Zoe". Her last name is unknown, but it's probably Plankton. "To vent one's spleen" means "to complain at length". Spleonard is a spleen-person that never stops complaining. The Hospital's suicidal Master Computer AI is named "Crash". In the sense of a massive software malfunction, although he insists it's because his favorite pass-time is crashing airplanes. | |

Ironic Hell | |
| Awful Hospital (Webcomic) / int_237569e4 | comment |
Ironic Hell: Each of the individual Zones. See if you can spot the motif of dreadful backwardness running through them all: The Hospital has lots of doctors, yet many of them don't know how to treat the patients they bring in; it's a place where you're liable to get SICKER. Burgrr, Inc. has lots of food, yet all of it is unfit for human consumption, and it's a place where you're liable to get EATEN yourself. The Morgue has lots of cadavers, yet it's not a lifeless place at all. Indeed, the corpses are TEEMING with no end of lifeforms. There's apparently two particularly vicious zones called the Direzone and the Gorehouse where Jay's mindset and proficiency at killing would've been wholly justified and appropriate. The Cafe... is normal. Customers pick what they want to drink, and the Cafe workers serve it to them in exchange for money. Much like on Earth. Which, in turn, is the antithesis to the Hospital's weirdness, being (relatively) normal. | |

Puny Earthlings: According to BBQ Girll, grayzoners lack all kinds of basic abilities and perceptions that most other beings possess, making them particularly vulnerable to veiling and therefore easy prey. They would have been wiped out long ago were it not for the mercy of the preservators. | |

Disability Immunity | |
| Awful Hospital (Webcomic) / int_287694ed | comment |
Disability Immunity: Grayzoners are far more limited than the aliens from other zones and have a laughably limited perception of reality in comparison. However, there are times that this limited perception can also come in handy, because what you perceive also affects what you interact with. For example, the Plank Maze is a vast and everchanging maze for most beings, but grayzoners are only able to perceive the most stable and condensed aspects of it, making it safer and easier for them to navigate it. | |

Deadly Euphemism | |
| Awful Hospital (Webcomic) / int_2eb94abd | comment |
Deadly Euphemism: Zig-Zagged with "purging." It involves euthanizing the patient. Their current body, that is, paring them down to their Core, and then briefly returning their Core to their homezone to grow a fresh new body, like uninstalling and re-installing a finicky game off of Steam. They're then brought back to the Hospital for a checkup to ensure it worked. It is, however, an absolute last resort, and if it doesn't take, the only thing left is a merciful unexistualization. | |

Critical Staffing Shortage | |
| Awful Hospital (Webcomic) / int_31f9cec9 | comment |
Critical Staffing Shortage: The Hospital is severely understaffed. Jay, and in all likelihood, The Parliament, have been sabotaging The Hospital by attacking staff members. They then Unperson them by burying them in the walls, causing the remaining staff to forget they ever existed. Many staff members are growing increasingly suspicious of their severe staff shortage, but the higher ups remain oblivious. The Hospital is now requesting emergency temps, but the bureaucrabs have been slow to respond and the temps that do arrive keep getting knocked out of commission as well. Fern eventually manages to bluff her way into the job. | |

Your Mime Makes It Real | |
| Awful Hospital (Webcomic) / int_3c6f1282 | comment |
Your Mime Makes It Real: Maggie's "diptomancy". For instance, she has a "Flyreball" spell where her dipterites "embody the notion of fire" and "Flylighningbolt" where her dipterities "embody the idea of a lightning bolt". It doesn't even matter that technically they aren't even '''real''' flame◊ or lightning. Anything she casts these at, alive or otherwise, will react as though they've been burned or electrified. | |

Fiction as Cover-Up | |
| Awful Hospital (Webcomic) / int_3cb07b51 | comment |
Fiction as Cover-Up: Though they aren't mentioned by brand name, it turns out Tamagotchi are actually remote infant-care devices, that secretly allow humans to become caretakers to alien babies. In the Hospital, these devices are called "egglets." | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| Awful Hospital (Webcomic) / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: The Fetch Quest arc seemingly has a very simple and straightforward solution: just give every patient an item that they want. Unfortunately, it turns out giving patients what they want instead of what they need is a terrible idea, and almost everything Fern does during this arc only makes things worse. | |

For example, when Willis and Isaac drink grultch, which is safe for alien children but not for grayzoners, a mere whiff of it is enough for Fern to feel like her... "core"?... Is about to explode. | |

Cosmic Horror Story: The plot slowly unravels into this over time; it turns out the multiverse is technically broken. Why? Because it was originally a single, isolated living creature that died from crumbling into several pieces, the largest intact pieces eventually gained sentience and are scheming to fuse the Perception Range together to revert everything back to its original state. And they got to Fern's son first. And so Fern's biggest task kicks into action; besides saving her son, she must find a way to stop these entities and save the multiverse. | |

The Only One | |
| Awful Hospital (Webcomic) / int_6a61050e | comment |
The Only One: Fern and her companions are pretty much the only ones capable of dealing with the Parliament's schemes, and what functionality in the Hospital has been restored has been due exclusively to their efforts. The Hospital's staff, which should be in charge of fixing this mess, are suffering a Critical Staffing Shortage and Sanity Slippage thanks to the Parliament's sabotage. Fern's fellow patients either aren't completely sapient, naturally helpless, suffering from illness, or unable to escape their quarantines. Other zones don't even seem to have noticed that there is a problem in the first place. Most importantly, there is also the fact that the Parliament's Perception Filter makes it difficult for most people to even notice that anything is wrong. | |

Had to Be Sharp | |
| Awful Hospital (Webcomic) / int_70dc3a86 | comment |
Had to Be Sharp: By most metrics, grayzoners are inferior to the transdimensional aliens throughout the Perception Range and are largely considered a lower order of life. However, some would argue that rather than being lower ordered, we are differently adapted, because we actually do have a small number of advantages. One of them is the fact that we carry all the fundamental concepts necessary for our existence in one unit instead of scattering them across dimensions, giving us a more independent existence than other beings. This gives us two advantages. One of them is that it makes it easier for us to survive in zones that are not as connected to others as normal. Another is that if, for example, the Anthropomorphic Personification of the Circle of Willis decided to throw a temper tantrum, our individual Circle of Willises would be able to resist his influence better than those of non-grayzoners. | |

Token Human: Fern, her son, Jay; in fact, every human who happens to be featured. The ratio of humans to nonhumans in Awful Hospital is incredibly skewed in the latter's factor. There technically are several dozen other humans present, but all of them have been killed and buried to prevent them from turning into slobs. | |

Godzilla Threshold | |
| Awful Hospital (Webcomic) / int_72856b70 | comment |
Godzilla Threshold: When Professor Lexicovermus recovers enough coherence to realize the Library is about to be destroyed, he opens communication with Fern's buzzers using a method that has a dangerously high chance of imploding them, because he's desperate to get all the information he needs to fix the current situation before he loses his mind again. After communication breaks, he goes One-Winged Angel to kick out a Tantrum Throwing Willis. Likewise, the local fauna put on their Game Face and battle for supremacy so that they can reassert the Library's concept, kicking out the Parliament's influence. Aside from the Library becoming more generally dangerous, it also means that reality will destabilize due to various literary concepts and mediums gaining and losing prominence. | |

Ambiguously Evil | |
| Awful Hospital (Webcomic) / int_853b7948 | comment |
Ambiguously Evil: Pretty much everyone and everything save for Fern. And Staph and Maggie. And Willis. And maybe the Bloodstain? And probably Isaac. A lot of entities are pretty nice, actually. The medical staff is just trying to do their jobs, but we still don't know why they're keeping Fern in the Hospital. Phage, however, seems Obliviously Evil thanks to his inflated ego, general incompetence, and his position as head of the Hospital. The Kidney Stone Is A Mommy, but is also pretty violent about this. Dr. Man's alignment was debated from the very moment he appeared, thanks to seemingly being a human in a land of alien creatures. Harmburger is pretty affable... when not "at work", that is. In some cases, the voices of the players themselves. Some are legitimately trying to help the protagonist survive, but others are just trying to get her to fulfil their desires. | |

Wistful Amnesia | |
| Awful Hospital (Webcomic) / int_860c8ce3 | comment |
Wistful Amnesia: When entities get Unpersoned, the gaps will sometimes remain. Willis remembers that there are supposed to be more zones and the world is supposed to be bigger, but he cannot remember what they were like. Crash remembers that there was a single Hospital staff member that actually cared about him, but little more than that and has been unable to discover if or how they got buried. | |

Eldritch Abomination | |
| Awful Hospital (Webcomic) / int_8774fb47 | comment |
Eldritch Abomination: Most of everything in The Abyss is likely this. Depending on the in-universe nature of the readers, which will apparently not be revealed, they may very well be this too. It's revealed that the multiverse as a whole is the greatly decomposed corpse of one that died a long time ago and eventually crumbled into many, many pieces that eventually formed the Zones. | |

Deconstructed Trope | |
| Awful Hospital (Webcomic) / int_8aa0f76 | comment |
Deconstructed Trope: Specifically, the Interactive Comic trope itself. The readers suggesting commands are not abstractions and are very real and powerful beings of an unknown nature according to Word of God. After so many people tell Fern to seduce Harmburger, it actually happens very briefly against her will, so when she snaps out of it, she completely ceases to let them control her and in fact changes the narration from second-person to first-person, blocking the involvement of the readers completely. Explored again when a malicious door begins sending an excess of commands into Fern's head to control her, the very same kind of commands that the readers use. | |

Creepy Good: ALL of Fern's companions and the things she meets throughout her journey are completely unearthly in terms of appearance and personality but mean well in the end. All Fern's Inert Vessel friends use Fern's corpses as a food source. Willis is a Blood Sucker who once drank several humans to death unintentionally one time when he visited Earth. The Eyeslob once clawed Fern to death, and eats other slobs. | |

Literal Metaphor | |
| Awful Hospital (Webcomic) / int_8cf6aa | comment |
Literal Metaphor: Not only are these frequently present, they have a curious tendency to serve as Weaksauce Weakness for numerous beings. The otherwise-superpowerful Doctors are afraid of apples because "an apple a day keeps the doctor away." What did Fern do when confronted with a monster cop? She "threw the book at him." It wasn't even a strong throw, note (nor was it even a law book!) but it still did him in. As Jay can attest, you have to be careful of monsters who charge "an arm and a leg" for their services. | |

Timey-Wimey Ball: The alien zones don't always use "time" as we humans understand it, but something called "layers." Chronology can sometimes jump around on its own, via layers, without Fern needing to enter a time machine. Cause is not perfectly linear with effect and can even have effect retroactively. | |

Glamour Failure | |
| Awful Hospital (Webcomic) / int_90984c54 | comment |
Glamour Failure: Any Zone presents A Form You Are Comfortable With for beings within, even ones as distantly removed as a human and a fungus, to interact; enough of a shock causes the facade to crack. During BBQ Girll's betrayal, holding the mouse over her face reveals a less friendly form. When the Double Doors try to infiltrate Fern's mind, they stop looking even remotely door-like. Celia, Maggie, and Staph look like a realistic bacterium, maggot, and fungus for a brief moment when they accidentally disgust Fern enough. When the Library crosses the Godzilla Threshold, the local wildlife drops their friendlier faces into a more primal form in order to struggle for supremacy, reassert the Library's existence, and purge all threats. | |

Art Shift: Fern's design suddenly becomes Animesque for a few panels when the comic temporarily turns into a dating sim. Later, the strip takes on a slightly pixelated style when Fern is shoved out of the Morgue and into worm land. Also, Jay's segments are drawn in an ever-so-subtly different style from Fern's. See the difference between the former's room from his own perspective and from Fern's. | |

Apocalypse How | |

Apocalypse How: The Earth effectively starts forming cracks in reality, with monsters and phenomena from other zones leaking in. People stop dying and get corrupted into slobs instead. Many of the slobs start combining into Meat Moss. The apocalypse is Invisible to Normals, but that doesn't protect them from getting killed by it and slobbifying as well. The people who are capable of seeing it start evacuating to other zones or are caught a daily struggle to fight back. | |

Bad news: the toy transforms into a giant slob-bunny monstrosity, and heads right for Fern and her friends. And Bogleech ONLY did this BECAUSE it happened to be Easter! | |

Jack of All Stats: Conversing with Dr. Man implies that the staff at the hospital are trying their best to cure their patients; in fact, they're some of the most talented medical professionals inside their native zones. It's just that they deal with patients from ALL zones, and they're unfamiliar with the biology of most of them, making mistakes constantly in their attempts to treat them. Dr. Man likens it to a human neurosurgeon who has to operate on an octopus. | |

After going through an entire arc of massive effort for the sloppy joe, Ora double crosses Fern by grabbing her, sloppy joe and all, to digest her. Needless to say, Fern is pretty ticked. | |

Alien Geometries | |
| Awful Hospital (Webcomic) / int_b3bdf232 | comment |
Alien Geometries: During the conversation with Nobody Nose and later with Depressed Spleen, it's revealed that the Hospital exists in another dimension separate from ours, and that the building is all that exists within its own dimension. At least part of the hospital walls are surrounded by a fleshy mass that forms into a tunnel highly implied to be a giant urethra. It appears that, overall, the hospital setting is a distinct place floating in an endless black void that is populated by at least hundreds of gargantuan Eldritch Abominations. According to Bogleech, this is the Abyss, the empty space between Zones. | |

Fictional Disability | |
| Awful Hospital (Webcomic) / int_b690b676 | comment |
Fictional Disability: Most beings throughout the multiverse have what is called an exo-spine, including us humans. The exo-spine is what allows a perceptoid to branchinate and perceive other aspects of existence, such as layers and zones. The reason the multiverse is Invisible to Normals is because a type of alien called a Furler usually eats our exo-spines before they can mature enough to defend themselves. Hence, most creatures in the grayzone have this disability. | |

Translator Microbes: The exact details haven't been given, but Fern is able to communicate with a decent number of the other-zonal aliens she encounters. From what Magdolene says, as long as you and another being share enough context for what you are communicating, it'll go through, if an alien you can otherwise communicate with mentions something you don't have context for, that concept gets interpreted as Wingdinglish. The effect doesn't work if your zones are too different, meaning Fern does occasionally need translation for Starfish Languages. | |

Invisible to Normals | |
| Awful Hospital (Webcomic) / int_c042eee9 | comment |
Invisible to Normals: A type of alien called a Furler usually eats the part of a human that would have allowed them to branchinate out into the Layered World before fully grown, and as such they can only perceive the everyday world we know. If they do encounter other-zonal phenomenon, their core will interpret it in the closest way it can. For example, Fern has been to the Cafe Zone before the events of the comic, but only perceived it as a normal Cafe because she hadn't branchinated yet. People that are capable of perceiving other-zonal phenomenon are usually those who were lucky enough to avoid getting their exo-spine damaged before it could mature enough to defend itself against Furlers. There are also a few who were able to branchinate after catching the Parliament's disease. | |

Character Level: An actual law throughout the zones. People can gradually raise them through various means, increasing their abilities. Character Level itself directly qualifies as their defensive abilities, making them more difficult to hurt.

Appearance Is in the Eye of the Beholder | |
| Awful Hospital (Webcomic) / int_c2091e11 | comment |
Appearance Is in the Eye of the Beholder: Applies to everyone to varying degrees, especially when the people involved are from different zones. Everyone has a "perception sphere", which is basically the sum of reality they perceive, understand, and interact with. Outside the grayzone, and to some degree even inside, even when people see the same entity, their context for it can be very different. In Fern's eyes, Willis is tiny, while Isaac's eyes can see something bigger. When Fern sees an advertisement cardboard cutout, Isaac sees a fleshy version representing the Parliament's influence over it. All of their perceptions are accurate, they are just witnessing different aspects of the entity's existence. | |

Pieces of God | |
| Awful Hospital (Webcomic) / int_cda1a3db | comment |
Pieces of God: Once upon a time, the original being, the Old Flesh, was the only thing that existed. Then one day, it became very very sick and started breaking down into the reality we know. The most intact surviving pieces, the Parliament, are determined to revive the original being in a way that will assimilate the current reality out of existence. While their experiments have not yet achieved success, echoes of what once were, called Slobs, have been known to appear when things become so sick that reality itself breaks down, effectively taking their place. Some of the bigger Anthropomorphic Personifications throughout the zones are subdivided into multiple individuals representing different aspects of themselves. | |

Killed Off for Real | |
| Awful Hospital (Webcomic) / int_cda501da | comment |
Killed Off for Real: Jay has figured out how to kill people completely and retroactively in a setting where death is usually only slightly more permanent than a paper cut. The Unexistentializer is a weapon of last resort against incurable pathogens. We don't know exactly what would happen if the doctors were to actually use it, but it would not be pretty. Getting eaten by a worm also results in "unexistalizing". | |

Nothing Is Scarier | |
| Awful Hospital (Webcomic) / int_cdfe12c3 | comment |
Nothing Is Scarier: Dr. Man, at least from what little we've seen of him, is what appears to be a normal human doctor. He's a bit odd-looking for a human, but not unrealistically, and compared to everything else in the hospital he's incredibly ordinary. After all that's come before, being relatively normal is what makes him scary. As a commenter mentioned, "He's too normal. I don't like this." | |

The Corruption | |
| Awful Hospital (Webcomic) / int_cf168867 | comment |
The Corruption: According to Dr. Man, the Hospital never had the accommodations to handle Grayzoners, who are simply not equipped to perceive and interact with it. As a result, they grow increasingly violent and degenerate into Slobs. Fern and Jay are actually unusually resistant, but Jay still slobbers out from time to time and Fern's corpses do upon her death. For this reason, all of the other Grayzoners in the Hospital have been left buried, and Fern has been advised not to let them revive unless and until the Hospital can be restored to full capacity. What the Exvironator had to do with this is unknown. The phenomenon eventually starts affecting the Grayzone as a whole, causing everybody who should have died to turn into slobs instead. | |

Un-person | |
| Awful Hospital (Webcomic) / int_d558b013 | comment |
Unperson: This is an insidiously pervasive problem in The Hospital, thanks to certain areas that are "off the Hospital's grid." Should a person (living or dead) ever cross into these "off-the-grid" areas, everyone in the Hospital will promptly forget they ever existed at all. Fortunately, if the person re-enters Hospital grounds, note (or if their body's brought back, if it's a dead corpse) the effect is reversed. Many people have been Unpersoned in this way, and it's left the Hospital severely understaffed. | |

Call a Smeerp a "Rabbit": The creatures the Open Wound calls Siamese cats have "gel cores" and a habit of shedding their biovessels. Although, since it's implied that all concepts, including grey-zone ones, have gel cores and similar technobabble-y things, they may simply be normal cats that tend to die a lot, and the bizarre organs are simply intangible to us. | |

Weird Currency: The decomposers in Fern's old biovessel use Keratin Pieces, or "KP", which are essentially little slices of her hairs. The spine started out accepting blood as payment, but has since switched to Used Bandages, "ub". Term deposits in the Hospital's organ bank mature in a very literal sense. The Parliment uses "waste crystals", and predictably uses a machine like the offspring of a biomechanical toilet and an ATM as a bank. | |

The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: Used plenty and with full throttle: The X-ray skeleton looks directly at the audience and makes a "sshh" motion before attacking Fern. The Double Doors vandalize actual reader comments. a hidden link in the next update reveals that the commenters trolled him right back, successfully enough to release Fern from his influence. According to Word of God, the unseeable in-universe beings who the readers and commentators represent influence humans in our world, as in us, as well, it's just a lot less noticeable here. A huge example of this is when Crash, after convincing Jay to turn against Fern, actually entered the comments section to mock the commentators and responded to a good number of them. Bogleech, in the following strip, even muses that Crash ended up retroactively made the less active users an Un-person. And THEN there's the Parliament. Between their ottomen and possibly Fern's son, they have it out for the Commentators most of all. | |

Our Souls Are Different: Everything capable of perceiving that other things exist has what is called a conceptual core.

A perceptoid is able to able to exist in multiple places at once across the multiverse through a process called branchination, and their different selves may be radically different depending on the zone they exist in. | |

Authority Equals Asskicking: The higher-ranking members of the Hospital staff are not to be trifled with. Fern has beaten down some ugly monsters in her time, but when she encounters Phleboto Mizer, he's so strong that combat isn't even an option. And Doctor Phage himself, in all his eighteen-inch glory, is even stronger. The lowest-ranking member of the core hospital staff, Dr. Man, battles Fern at level 1; this person comes packing two party members, an attack that grows more powerful with every use, and a health total of 400 hearts. | |

Snake Oil Salesman | |
| Awful Hospital (Webcomic) / int_e38b0f45 | comment |
Snake Oil Salesman: A recurring theme. When regular doctors couldn't treat her son or even notice that anything was wrong, Fern resorted to quack medicine. The comic's "sponsor" is an obviously fraudulent product, and a mysterious Dr. "P" has been vending them. The Parliament has been spreading them around to weaken the concepts of Health and Medicine until the boundaries between health and illness fall apart into the original being. | |

| Awful Hospital (Webcomic) / int_e3d90a27 | comment |
Layered World: More or less the nature of the Zones. Rather than going through Alternate Universes, zone travel consists of branching out and perceiving different aspects of existence, all of which are capable of impacting one another. | |

Bizarro Apocalypse: The Parliament's goal is to assimilate everything together into the Old Flesh and effectively reset the universe.

Alternate Self: Part of how the Hospital's respawning system works. There is an Alternate Self for every possible path one might take, but they don't become "real" until one's true self actually picks that path. When a person's true self dies in the Hospital, they take an Alternate Self that is about to die anyways and use the Alternate Self as a spare body to pop the person's true self's core into. | |

MacGyvering: The different zones are basically different aspects of reality, often with their own personal equivelants of things in other zones. For example, if you wanted to build a computer, then with the right skills, you can make it out of anything following the general idea of a computer, since even parts that don't connect or qualify as a computer in your zone still will in an appropriate one. | |

Brick Joke: Fern picks up a rubber duck outside of Dr. Man's office on page 114. Almost six-hundred pages later (four years in Real Life), her and Willis use it to lure Dr. Phage out of his office. Fern promises to make "barfing noises" for Willis after he does the voice for Dr. Phage's bow-tie deliveryman. Sixty or so pages later, she completes her bargin by throwing up at the sight of the dolphin eating the poisoned seafood, much to Willis' delight. | |
