Mary Worth 869

I like Jill Black! She rolls her eyes and is full of disdain for the Santa Royale Bridal Salon's inventory. Just like me.

Today's Full Strip

Is it me, or does anyone else see a resemblance between Jill & Penny Marshall? Come to think of it, Adrian kind of looks like Cindy Williams. Hmm. If things don't work out with Scott, perhaps Adrian & Jill can move to Milwaukee, get a basement apartment and jobs in Shotz Brewery. I wonder how Jeff would deal with Squiggy as a potential son-in-law?

I'm telling you...Jill is a dude.

Jill the hospital administrator..."Oh goody, another terminally ill patient. There goes my cigarette break."

I have to wonder what Jill Black expected from a bridal salon that she's already rolling her eyes. Perhaps she considers an "in stock" dress entirely predictable and insipid, in which case she should consider moving to another strip.

Oh, this is going to be good! Have we ever seen such a sour, yet seemingly unprovoked, attitude in a Mary Worth story? I wonder if Jill is working through abandonment issues? I thing she's gonna blow any minute now!

@Anonymous 9:09: Do you mean Jill is a dude (guy) or a dud (duh)? Wow, this story is going to get good, because I suspect s/he is both!

Jill's Story:

When Jill was six, her father ran off with a wedding planner, leaving her with her mother who was a hoarder (she hoarded mostly half eaten sandwiches). Jill grew up with a restlessness (that was most noticable in her eyeballs) since she rarely heard from her father and was compulsively washing mustard stains out of her clothing and linens. Jill attended the Santa Royale College of Hospital Administration on a basketball scholarship and earned her degree in Hospital Administration. She did an internship at a small hospital in El Paso when she got a lead on her father's whereabouts. The lead didn't pan out and she left after six months. (During her tenure there was a mysterious case of a wedding planner who checked into the hospital for a tummy tuck and ended up having all of her limbs amputated. The cause of the error is still under investigation).

After moving back to Santa Royale and taking a position at Mount View hospital, Jill's eyerolling began to become increasingly problematic. She found it got most exagerated when she viewed programs like "Say Yes To the Dress" and "Bridezillas". She sought professional advice from someone who also has a story that will be told later and she has been undergoing a form of aversion therapy.

She was late for the dress shopping because she had to sit in a Subway parking lot for 30 minutes. She can't go inside yet. Restlessness like hers is not easily overcome.

Oh Goody?

Jill needs to look into getting a forehead. What she has now is barely a threehead.

Oh piddle, katyb beat me to the punch! I'm surprised nobody else saw it, too.

Jill, with her furrowed brow and sarcastic thought bubble, is a perfect foil for Adrian and her puppy dog face.

Robert said...

Finally there's a character in Santa Royale who represents the readers, like all of us here who roll our eyes, make sarcastic asides, and sneer at Mary's pretending meddling equals being helpful. Will Jill break out with a "Beeeyotch, please!" when Adrian turns in her first homely wedding gown?

That goofy drawing of Jill just gives me the giggles!!
