Mary Worth 875

So the question is, whose fashion advice do you take? The woman dressed entirely in yellow, or the woman dressed entirely in purple?

P.S., If you haven't checked out the new song on the Charterstone Jukebox in the right-hand column, I hope you like it.

I see nothing wrong with Mary's black and gold (or yellow) outfit, considering the Pittsburgh Steelers won on Sunday!

Whether or not you were seriously considering abandoning your avocation, I'm glad we all had an opportunity to tell you how much we appreciate your blog. It is indeed a haven of fun without being mean!

Here's what may happen: Jill Black is jaded and cynical because she's come to believe that love is not for her. Mary will find some guy with changeable hair and an AWOL dad for her to love. By then, Mike and Jenna will be ready to tie the knot, and a double-wedding will be planned.

I think that Jill is way beyond the "love is not for me" stage. She has turned into a hardened, mean-spirited, hurtful lady. Once we can get past the selection of Adrian's wedding attire, Mary is going to get to the bottom of this. I'm kind of hoping for another intervention followed by a fireball off a cliff, but I think if Mary tries to pull a Kelrast, Jill will calmly take a pistol from her purse and make her "problem" go away.

It's What Not to Wear and Jill is Stacey/Clinton, only they can be more tactful.

Oh, you are IN for it, Jill. So what if back in Mary's day, dresses had yet to be invented, in lieu of sporting vine leaves after being expelled from Heaven--this woman knows her fashion! Hello, trend-setter; she is the one that conceived the chin napkin.

Mary Worth will not ( will not ) lie down and let you out-meddle her. She will suffer for the gold meddle.

After all, you can't spell 'Mary Worth' without 'martyr.' Of course, you also can't spell it without 'wrath'...but let's not get hung up on the details, Jill... Ha ha ha ha!

Jared said...

Mary Worth and Jill Black do not exist. They are conflicting personae within Adrian's flawed psyche. The pre-wedding storyline will end with a reinvigorated Dr. Mike successfully treating Adrian's mental illness, Jenna straightening her finances, and B?BJ? buying her many nice dresses.

Jill is clearly suffering from a severe migraine or is about to tear off her wig in frustration with Adrian and Mary. If not, I am at a complete loss as to why she would assume that awkward pose while speaking.

Chester the Dog said...

We all have to keep in mind that Adrian changes clothes in her car. Her idea of fashion is a zebra skincover for her drivers seat.

In today's bonus round of Jeopardy:

Answer: Mary Worth.

Question: Which character in today's strip is NOT indulging in the popular practice of face-touching?

Robert said...

Today's comments are really making me laugh, and today, I can sure use some laughs.

I can't wait for Mary to zero in on Jill, and for Jill to rip Mary a new one! Of course, I may be building this up in my mind to an awesome confrontation, when in reality, it won't be like a fight on one of those "Real Housewives" shows, but a polite little tiff out of a Jane Austen novel.

"Decisions, decisions...do I take fashion advice from my friend Jill, or from a woman old enough to be my mother--who hasn't showered and changed her clothes since we had lunch yesterday?"

Adrian is thinking quite hard about it. Or pretending to think hard.

Maude Findlay said...

Mary & Jill remind me of Goofus & Gallant. Maybe Jill is in such a bad mood because of her apparent case of really bad constipation. She not only needs a a boyfriend, she also more high fiber diet.

I realized as I was studying this panel, trying to think of something clever to write, that I was cupping my chin in my hand. It's ... it's like I belong in Charterstone! And suddenly, I feel inspired! I feel as though I have the solution to this fashion crisis!

You see, Adrian, what you're wearing now is actually fine. It's Scott that you need to be concerned about! Has he found his sansabelt tuxedo yet? No? I'd be worried! And make sure the local Men's Wearhouse has enough electric blue cummerbunds for the whole wedding party!

i guess jill doesnt wanna ba a brides maid so it will be dawn jenna the broad married to the motivational speaker and the ghost of abby .

Adrian should listen to the tranny, not the granny. Who knows more about what looks good on a woman than a man dressed as a woman? It just makes sense.

Imogene said...

Oh, dear. I'm afraid Mary Worth and Jill Black BOTH make valid points. The dress is classic, but also Adrian is going to look silly wearing a styrofoam tiara. I wonder if there's a solution to this...hmmm...

"Something borrowed, something blue... One of Mary's scarves might do !"

@Yasmin: gold meddle: ROFL!!! I nearly choked on my cup of tea when I read that!!!

I think this could be the start of a new reality TV series along the lines of "What Not To Wear", I like "The Granny and the Tranny".

Syndi said...

@Tony. Mary is such a Steelers fan she wore the same black and gold outfit two days in a row. Go Steelers!!!!
