Mary Worth 924

I'm sorry, I've been so busy with Christmas preparations, that I really haven't had much time to blog about Jill or this strange old lady who has decided to lecture her. I wonder who she is?

Oh, and I've also been helping with the Condo Board's preparations for the 2010 Worthy Awards. The nominees will be announced Christmas Day, so get ready to vote for your favorites.

It has come to my attention that "Karen Moy" is the Nom de Plume for a fifth grade creative writing class.

Can't wait to see the nominees, Wanders. I certainly hope "napkin stuck to chin" is one of them.

Have a Happy Christmas.

I hate to say it, but it looks like Jill is about to lose the accumulated contents of her stomach (martini, g'n't, ketchup, red wine, salmon square, coffee) all over mary's extended finger.

Elaine said...

I thought maybe Jill already lost those contents, perhaps on Mary's lap...

Oh, I hope Jill figures rather prominently in those nominees; would hate for this terrific bit of drama to get lost!

Jill's coffee cup was poised, ready and willing to suddenly fling its contents in Mary's face. Unfortunately, it couldn't beat Mary's nonstop artillery fire of platitudes.

Having just now returned from my dentist's office where I've had a root canal... two days b/f Christmas,... I FEEL like Jill LOOKS in panel two!!!! Only...my mouth is numb so I'm not chewing on a string of pearls or drinking coffee like Jill.

Please, please, PLEASE, Mary!
Fall into that paradox where you lecture someone about not injecting themselves into others' lives!

Mary, please! Put your scolding finger away! Santa will not like your using his "you'd better not pout" line right now.

If Adrian is up for a Worthy Award, will she ask Jill to help her choose her dress? I, for one, hope to sit next to Hospital Hi Fi. He can help drown out Mary in the front row.

And about this "getting duller by the minute" storyline. Couldn't Moy have TRIED to add a little holiday theme? A Christmas tree, a caroler, fruitcake, Cyber-Monday...anything?

Mary is not content to finger-point across the table (panel 1), so she's joined Jill on the other side of the booth to really stick it to her in panel 2. No wonder Jill needs to hurl.

@Vicki: total sympathy, having had a root canal (and went str8 to the office to work afterwards!). I went for a routine checkup two weeks before my first round the world trip, had a wisdom tooth extraction with a dry socket. Not fun organising Xmas. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

And what's with the Santa Royale standard issue of *pearls*? Have these people not heard of *other* gemstones? (says he who cuts and polishes sapphires for a hobby...)
