Mary Worth 893

Score! I'm so glad Adrian brought a man along to put Jill in her place! Of course, Jill is going to go home now and kill herself since Scott has obviously opened the wound that cannot heal.

Speaking of wounds that cannot heal, that bullet that grazed Scott's head has left a nasty, hairless scar.

Finally! ZzzZING. Nice shot, Scott! Though the accident seems to have also left a strange head-shaped growth on his shoulder.

Look at the big grin on Adrian's face, as Scott speaks up and tells Jill what Adrian hasn't had the nerve to say. That must be why we only see Adrian's head in this panel: she is missing a backbone.

Paging Mary Worth: why are you reduced to being a bit player in your very own strip??!

Is that where the bullet grazed him? I thought he had started parting his hair with a cleaver!

I think it's sad how Adrian and Mary are left cringing in a corner, while they wait for a real man to speak up to Jill. Isn't that supposed to be something women do better than men?

She must have some secret physical fighting ability to make them so scared. Maybe she has a black belt in karate or something.

DANG! Scott is tall!

Jill is physically intimidating. The only character capable of putting her in her place must be the only character capable of placing an arm over her shoulder.

Snap!
but why is he giving Jill a hug? Is he making a moving? proposing polygamy? Maybe it's an SRPD technique, when confronted, hug your opponent?

Jared said...

That's what I'm talkin' about. Ego crush!

Jill's gonna need some aloe vera for that BURN!

Okay, all you hair-color-obsessed people like me: Scott's hair used to be blonde. Now it's turning ... yes ...Santa Royale orange!

@Punky: Adrian "missing a backbone." ZzzzZING yourself!!! Good one!

Oh no, he didn't! How will Jill respond? Will she tuck her tail between her legs & quietly sulk, or will she blast back at Scott with her usual smug nastiness? My vote is that she'll do one of her sarcatic ''Ha ha ha!'' laughs, then say something like-

''Marriage? Me? That's a laugh! I'll never let some man tell me what to do! No, marriage is not for me!''

Cue to Mary, thought bubble above her head, thinking; ''Have I got a guy for you!''

Yep, I'm calling it. A fix up is just what Jill needs. Surely Mary knows somebody...Does B?BJ? have a brother? Or maybe Dr. Mike has one?

Vicki said...

Hoo boy--testosterone wins the day! Since apparently the men of Santa Royale ENJOY picking out wedding invitations--where the heck is Dr. Jeff? Did they not invite him, and isn't he going to feel awfully left out? He's missing all the fun!

Well, hopefully they put in a quick call to him so he can buy them lunch, then on to the NEXT stop: "The Santa Royale Floral Shoppe"

Brick said...

This is so much fun, imagining might Jill might say in response to Scott's testosterone. I see it going either way. She could say something like, "Are you going to move your arm or will I have to move it for you?" or she could get all twitterpated, weak in the knees and completely lose her head. Her ha ha ha ha will become he he he he just in time for Mary's fix up.

Maggie said...

Jeez, look at Jill's face! I'm surprised snakes arent crawling out of her hair and Scott hasn't turned to stone.

Meanwhile, I like to think of Adrian's tiny head precariously balanced on Scott's shoulder, sinnking her teeth into Scott's jacket to shrug forward and get a better look at the action.

Considering Jill's obvious recoil from Scott's touch, I don't see her being fixed up with anybody with a frontal lobe.

Oh, SNAP!

Punky said...

Is it just me, or does Scott's "Santa Royale Orange" hair look like it has... black roots? I mean, if it's a comic strip, you should at least not have to renew your (bad) dye job.

Jill would be perfect for...oh, whats his name..with the porn on his walls...

djangosmom said...

Chester- it's Charlie. I was thinking the same thing!

Oh, okay. I get it now. I kept thinking Mary would personally lay the smackdown on Jill, but she's having the minions already loyal to her do it instead.

She just maneuvered Jill into the verbal wood chipper without sacrificing her sterling reputation in the process.

Well played, ya old bat.

djangosmom said...

Oh! I see, Jill wants them to break up. I presume she wants Scott for herself.
