Well, the low-hanging fruit is when she was handed her "Right As Rain" card...

The second one..... ?

A hint for the higher-hanging fruit: On this occasion, Monica declared herself "right as rain".

ETA: Not to say that she believed it ...

Stumped?

See, I didn't notice it the first time, so I'll allow it's inobvious, but once I re-read the archives, I thought it was a nice callback. <hint>It even happens in the same place ...</hint>

Finally! The "higher-hanging fruit"...

I'm on vacation, this week, so I had time today to work backwards from the "low hanging fruit" jwhouk had found, and finally came across it.

I'm starting to wonder whether maybe this quiz is starting to lose some steam... That would be unfortunate: I have enough bookmarks set aside for another 150 questions easily... :mrgreen:


Anyway, here's a hint for this question: the reason we can tell the character has a farmer's tan is that the comic strip where we see it is in color.

Doin' the Shamrock Shake with Kevin!

Speaking of tans...

What other character first discovered she had a "strange marking" on her face?

IIRC, M said Shelley was living vicariously through her when M started dating Kevin, and Oscar said the same about Kath at one point when they were winding down from an adventure.

Very good! Your context info tells me you didn't just guess. Although, technically, she wasn't so much "winding down" from an adventure, as much as retelling Monica's adventure (fixing the calendar) to Oscar. Still, I am satisfied with your answer.


Your question, please?
