Mona is a much better diagnostician than Dr Jacobs

They both seem to be projecting to some extent and they’re both correct either way.

Very often.

Poor Dr. Spielman.(I think Dr. Jacobs made the more accurate, if less scientific-sounding, diagnosis.)

Maybe Dr. Spielman gives out cookies.

Or cigarettes.

It should go better with Speilman, because she’s there by choice, not court mandate.

Or maybe not. You know Mona.

I think that’s “narcissist.”

I think it is that Dr. Jacobs just doesn’t want to deal with Mona. All things considered I can’t blame Dr. Jacobs!

Mona does a great job of describing herself when she is begging for help from those she has insulted. What made her think Dr. Jacobs would say yes? Oh right, Mona’s a narcissist. Everybody else is just the supporting cast that props up the identity Mona tries to force upon us.

Only the average comic strip reader goes along with Mona’s identity just because she is the main character. Because of this, the average comic strip reader will do their best to turn her into a Mary Sue, proclaiming that she can do no wrong and is always right about everything. The narcissist has found her borderline.

The only doctor that can help Mona’s mental state at this point is Dr. Wagner, Jr.
