Mary Worth 845

O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.

You're in trouble now, bub. As soon as Jenna discovers that you haven't been tending to your father's deathbed for the last two months, you can say goodbye to walks along the water, and kisses under the fireworks. Maybe that is why Jenna very wisely has suggested they have LUNCH! It's so easy to get caught up in the moment when you're eating DINNER!

See, the brown-hair guy from the beginning of this storyline was actually his cousin Flat Stanley.

The story is finally over!

We can only hope, Chester, we can only hope...

This story? Over??? Oh no no no no no... it's only just *begun*. There's a whole lot more meddling Mary can do before the inevitable wedding.

But it's been simply *ages* since we've had a pool party with salmon squares (and no immodesty, by anyone actually getting INTO the pool. Heaven forbid!).

We are about due for a new story, soon. One that should get us right through autumn, past the holidays, and end just about at the beginning of spring. Mary Worth stories tend to come & go with the seasons- and you know what global warming has done to the seasons!

These two dodos got it right at the beginning of this pathetic excuse for a story: Love is not for them. Just as writing is not for Moy.

Why is "lunch" in bold italics? Is that their safe word?

I don't think I can take these two shape-shifting, wannabe lovebirds any more.

I think saying "LUNCH" so emphatically was Jenna's way of ensuring that they won't be going to the Bum Boat but perhaps someplace more casual, like McDonald's. O

Lunch?! How about the food court at Santa Royale Shopping Center? I want to talk about your father, but then let's grab a drink and wait for Bonnie to show up!

Carlye said...

Lunch! Is there anywhere in Santa Royale where Jenna can get a drink or two at lunch?

Chester the Dog said...

"MY father? Well, you two would have had a lot in common, you both get kicked out of bars and have obsessive personalities."

Please bring back B?B?J?!

I love that Mike has shoved aside his fancy computer machine and is preparing his reports with a pencil. It makes me feel nostalgic.

I don't recall when I first stumbled into this blog, but now I can't stop visiting.

And some days, I think that's only nominally better than cutting myself.

Damn you Wanders!

heydave said...

Seriously, even my worst days seem better compared to the stuff I am witnessing on MW.

trixietrudy said...

@heydave: Look at me. Two visits in one day. I am seriously in trouble. I think I'll become a vigilante and go after the person who first introduced Jenna to the evil that is alcohol.

Oh no. I just peeked at Tuesday's strip. If he starts from the beginning telling Jenna his story, they'll be at that table through the rest of the year (and then they'll both have to go tell Mary about it, which will tack on another month). "Then I changed into another tan suit and sat on the bench for a day. Time passed. A pigeon arrived. Trees and lamp posts moved." Will he confess that his not calling Jenna was his own inability to deal, not his "family situation"?
