Mary Worth 1,079

"You know what else isn't easy? Cranking my head back over my shoulder while I'm ordering lunch. Gina, darling, would you mind stepping just a couple of inches to your left?"

Gina dear, you're going to be out of a job soon if you don't start taking orders! You don't have time for all of this pre-meddle meddle stuff. Oh wait, LiZa managed to hang on to her job for quite a while when she wasn't actually working.

Death and taxes..inevitable....along with arm thrusting.

If you were to change Mary's text in the panel from "losing a loved one is never easy in any circumstance" to "When the hell are you going to take my order!" wouldn't the panel make more sense?

My verification word is "syclogei" which I think Mary has a degree in.

Time is merely a gauze, a fabric of our own making, that bends, floats and hovers just beyond our view, obscuring the obvious.
I'm not that hungry; let's talk and talk and...

Is that an incredibly small table, or is Mary a candidate to replace that stretchy guy in the Fantastic Four?

The same tired, overused platitudes constantly being said by everyone in the Worthiverse.

And Mary is the worst offender. She's kinda like a Chatty Cathy doll; pull the strings and platitudes-for-any-occasion come out.

Why the emphisis on "ANY" rather than "NEVER"?

Sitting at my kitchen table, I replicated the position and head angle Mary is assuming while talking with Gina.

I'll be seeing my chiropractor on Monday, hoping he can straighten my neck back to normal.

At this rate, Mary may get to order something by September 8.

I think Mary wants to say,"Get over it, Move on! You need to go to Santa Royale University and get your Marketing degree!

or, "Did you say your mother's nurse's name was Liza? hmmm.

Tony, Tony, Tony! What a rookie mistake. NEVER try to put your body into positions demonstrated by Mary and her minions! I used to do the same thing and very nearly ended up paralyzed.

Oh, and I totally think that the awesome writing team at MW Co. is preparing us for the death of someone (right after Mary meddles Gina straight). Who will it be? My money is on Dr. Jeff. And Mary will be totally sorry she didn't marry him. This will be SUCH a long story!

@Robert -- September 8? I'm not sure this strip can handle that kind of breakneck pace!

Com'on Gina! The early bird special is almost over, take Marys order! The clock is ticking!
