Origin Stories: Nurse Janet

Janet, a bottle blonde nurse,
kept nips and hair dye in her purse.
One day down with flu,
she mixed up the two,
and left work in the back of a hearse!

Nurse Janet first appears in an intense emergency room exchange with her husband, Brad the Surgeon, concerning the fate of Rosemary’s baby in the retronymic Instagram series, Days of Our Past Lives (2017-2018). One of Mr. Funny Bones’s most popular characters, Nurse Janet is also one of the most versatile. Her roles as ER nurse and anti-immigrant crusader in Days; president of the Days’ Thespian Lounge; confidante to Chief Birdy-go Chip in Dead on a Rival: The Case of the Crock-Pot Killer (2018); loving wife, mother, and Carly Simon fan in Missy Impossible: A Mr. Funny Bones Thriller (2019-; unfinished); and her appearances in both Mr. Funny Bones on the Attack! (2020) and Pandemonium: A Mr. Funny Bones Days of Our Past Lives COVID-19 Reunion (2020) speak to her exceptional range as a dead actress. A leaked copy of her and Brad’s private sex tape, A Morbid Affair (2017), first surfaces in Mr. Funny Bones Back to Skull (2017) and reappears in Missy Impossible as the signature feature of the Gays of Hormuz’s fundraiser at Crystal Crevice Creek Resort. Nurse Janet is one of several Mr. Funny Bones characters named in Little Hope: A Minor Tragedy: A Mr. Funny Bones Long Short Story (2019).
