Mary Worth 856

Lifting her giant cup of coffee has really pumped Mary's left forearm muscles. She's practically turned into Popeye. I know Mary is subtly manipulating Adrian into making her the maid of honor, but Adrian would be better served making her the bouncer.

Today's Full Strip

That one simple phrase -- "Can I do anything to help?" -- instantly sends shivers down the spine. Because I can't imagine anyone in this strip saying, "No thanks, Mary, I'm cool." What a different world it would be!

So, I don't know the character sitting on the couch with his own giant cup of coffee, but between the striped shirt and goofy grin, I'm not feeling well.

Where is the rest of Dr. Jeff's right arm?

I knew it! Wedding plans. This strip is going to look like a blog from "Bride" magazine long before June.

And wouldn't Mary be Matron of Honor? She has been married before. To "Jack Worth", a titan of industry or something.

...as Jeff enjoys a cup of dry ice...

I appreciate the muscle definition on Mary's pruning arm and the beautifully illustrated wrinkles on her striped sofa pillow. Perhaps I'm just enjoying this brief respite, and the fact that Adrian is not physically present.

Adrian. She has reduced the hours she spends in the hospital cafeteria. Where will she and Mary meet for this story? Certainly not the upper floor of Jeff's man-cabin. I hope they meet at a bridal boutique... someplace with pretty boxes. Or a bakery! Any place that would direct the eye away from her hair.

Will somebody please track down Richie's killer, please?

I still want to know what happend to Adrian's $50,000 and who will be paying for the wedding.

So many thoughts come to mind:

"Can you help? Of Course you can--butt out!"

Or--

"You haven't seen me around the hospital because I've been in Doctor Mike's office meddling and running unlicensed therapy sessions."

Or--
"They've cut my hours at the hospital since they've been utilizing unlicensed volunteer help. I don't know how I'll be able to afford my wedding and all that snappy hi-fi equipment i've grown to love."

Is Adrien out of her ever-lovin' mind?? She's about to invite the vampire in. I see this ending badly for all of us. On the other hand, I can hardly wait to see the freaky wedding fashions.

Personally, I am looking forward to watching Adrian change into her wedding dress in the front seat of her car.

@Chester - The couple has registered at the Santa Roymart, and a steering wheel for A's car is at the top of their list. (The automotive department has a fine selection, I hear.)

Dr Jeff looks young enough to be Mary's son. Is he dying his hair? And where did he get a blue jacket? I thought that they were only allowed to sell orange in Sta Royale.

That Adrian just can't keep her hands off of her face and head, can she?

(Trixietrudy, I thought the same thing about Jeff's arm! Looks like it is behind Mary's back, and broken... shudder)

Chester the Dog said...

List of things to do for the wedding:

1)Paint over black walls in living room.

2) Hire DJ, no, strike that. Hospital hi-fi wil be providing the music at the reception.

Jeff lost his arm while battling for his life in Peace Village. That is just his coat sleeve flapping in the breeze.

Their mugs remind me of the A & W drive-ins when I was a kid -- Mary got a "mama mug" and Jeff got a "baby mug."
