Ox.. call the police and get an ambulance on it’s way!
Place Tiff gently on a couch. Do not give her to Les.. he may drop her.
Keep talking to Tiff and keep her awake. If a burglar really is in there.. he’s hiding. Let him keep hiding. Odds are, any burglar that went in there is long gone.
.
Oh, and after you call the cops, call Gunther. Tell him " Tiff’s hurt..Code Mordock! " . He’ll know what to do. LOL
Burglars, possibly. Would make a lot more sense if a ground level window was broken.
Reckless girl who could have broken her neck because she was glued to her phone instead of watching where she was going, check. Train wreck Les, check.
Reads like a sitcom where actors panic and do all the wrong things….It would have been better if Tiff remained unconscious and they call 911. Her saying “burglars” and “cops” confuse these two idiots.
We find ourselves looking forward to the Tiffany focused stories – It seems like the strip became more interesting when Tiffany began to be more human and less of a stereotype. I remember that, when Nellie Olson grew up and became more human, the series became more interesting than it had been when Nelie and Laura were always pulling dirty tricks on each other.
Cop Ox was the number Tiff took down if she needed help, so when she says “Cops, Ox” in last panel maybe she’s mentally still trying to dial. Tif is there because she freaked out over a broken window and tried to dial while running down stairs. Les is there to play hero, as long as he doesn’t have to do anything like face a burglar. Ox is there out of concern for Tif who when this is over just might shut the door in his face again. Three stooges…
Les is right, you must never move anyone after such a fall, let’s hope Tiffany’s neck and spine are fine. Is sweet to see how Tiffany wants to be protected by Ox. But now they have to call an ambulance and the police!
OK. This first aid and rescue mission has reached ridiculous proportions. So much for Ox remembering from his football days NOT to move someone who is down (as commenters previously mentioned).
Tiffany is on the floor, barely able to talk and Ox wants to know if she is hurt! I knew he wasn’t very bright. Then after she says she fell he picks her up and carries her around! Dim bulb.
I’m guessing the brick’s courtesy of Steph, angry at Tiff for messing things up with Kip. With narcissists like Steph, it’s always someone else’s fault.
Reading comments, which I shouldn’t but can’t help doing, infliences what Im going to say and today is no exception. Everyone seems to focus on things one should do with a trauma victim first being not to move them until paramedics arrive. But remember this Luannverse, not real life, and it’s played for hilarity not realism although underlying are real emotions. What happens going forward is the driver. This arc appears to have more legs to it. Watch the characters, not their actions day to day.
In the first panel. the lowest stain on Les’ apron looks like an exclamation point, mimicking his surprise at hearing of “burglars”. When he asks to hold Tiffany in the third panel, the stain has changed to something else that I’m having a hard time not associating with something more risque’ . :-/
“But but but”. Can Ox be any more stupid?! I am really starting to hate that character. If they don’t put her down and call 911 this is going to qualify as a “what not to do in an emergency” lesson for the readers (and their children)
Never had I ever expected that a comic strip would leave me hanging in anticipation so much that I couldn’t wait to read it the next morning, during the break-in, and stumble on the stairwell…Great job!

And Les? YOU go look for that “burglar.”
Chances are it’s your Mom.

Like I said yesterday. Even Les knows not to move someone in these type of circumstance.
911. Paramedics first, cops second. Sometimes time is critical. Sometimes we don’t know when that is, so GO!

Les is right in that you are never supposed to move an injured person. However, in this case they might be in danger.
Get out of the house first, then call 911. They’ll dispatch the cops and an ambulance.
