Mary Worth and Me: Akron Ohio Keeps Mary Anyway

Akron Ohio Keeps Mary Anyway

As previously reported on this blog, Akron Ohio's Beacon Journal took a comics survey, but promised not to cut their serials. Bold move considering how many people in the Buckeye State expressed their utter hatred for Mary Worth. Is this a case of an editor being smarter than his readers, or just more disturbed? The Condo Board salutes the Beacon Journal for its courage in the face of unpopular opinion.

Ethel Mertz said...: I voted in that poll, and made it a point to say that Mary Worth, as well as Judge Parker and Rex Morgan, M.D., were *the* most hilarious strips the Beacon runs. Thanks to "Mary Worth and Me" and "The Comics Curmudgeon", I now experience an evil glee accompanied by full-on belly laughs that I only occasionally get from the "funny" funnies. THANK YOU!; March 16, 2008 at 11:20 PM

Copyrights

Mary Worth is the work of writer Karen Moy and artist June Brigman, and until recently, the legendary Joe Giella. It is owned by King Features Syndicate, Inc. All images from the comic strip are owned by King Features Syndicate. This site is meant to critique, parody, and promote Mary Worth and falls under the Fair Use doctrine of copyright law. Personally, I hope that King Features Syndicate, Inc., will agree that fan interest in this great strip is a good thing. My only ambition is that somehow my meager efforts might serve to enrich Joe Giella, Karen Moy, June Brigman and of course King Features Syndicate, Incorporated.
