"I've been using my ponytail as an antenna to transmit my love thoughts, but so far... no response."
Just a heads up. We received a recorded telephone message from Pepco, our power company, that went something like this: "Hi, in case you aren't familiar with our horrible reputation, we wanted to let you know that we plan to fail at keeping your lights on during the coming storm." So, given Hurricane Irene's impact here in Maryland, I may not be able to keep up on Mary Worth for a few days. Hopefully I won't miss anything exciting.
Today's Full Strip

*ROFL* at the signal-sending ponytail. So that's why she kept it!
Hope you keep your power. You don't want to miss the moment where we find out that Bobby is married with six kids, and says, "Gina who?" (Okay, maybe that's just my wishful thinking . . .
Good luck with the storm. At this story pace, a refreshing coma might do wonders.
I know everything moves painfully slow in the worthiverse, but the dumbitude in this one is strong.
The problem here is that Gina's ponytail is still broadcasting analog signals, and those were phased out two years ago. She could either buy a converter for her ponytail, or simply text her love thoughts to Bobby in digital format.
Oh Gina, You with your hi-tech thought waves. A luddite like me would have tried 411 or Google.
I wonder if Mary will suggest this or Gina sticking her tongue in a wall socket to up the signal.
Wanders, stay away from the open windows!!
Bobby is probably wondering what all the static in his head is about. Little does he know that it's Gina's signals, getting broadcast to him without a booster station. If only someone else between her and Bobby wore their hair in an antenna-pony tail style, maybe the signal would get delivered loud and clear.
wheres the manager never see the waitress sit with the custermer especially the ones whos order is 7 bucks tops.
Good luck with the storm, Wanders. Living in hurricane territory, I know they can cause power problems far beyond what you think will happen. On the lighter side, if you could convince your wife and kids to adapt the ponytail antenna hairstyle, you wouldn't need a generator....
This continues to trouble me, and yes, I realize that I have more of that "reality" thing to deal with than this. But pinin' for (the fjords?) so many years removed from the fact is just plain not healthy. Will Mary suggest Gina focus on the deep underlying wrongness of this?
Nah, nevermind. What was I thinking?
Wanders, stay safe and away from flying trees, shingles, and stray mob-related bullets.
Did the witness protection program hide Gina's family in a cellar, with no contact with the outside world - including modern advances like the Internet?
I can't wait for Mary (the Luddite old biddy) to introduce Google to Gina (youthful Gen-Xer). As realistic as any other Moy storyline!
I'm thinking Bobby would prefer buckets of cash to thoughts of love. Skateboards and basketballs don't grow on trees, after all.
Wanders and family, I hope you weather Irene safely.
Wanders, unlike Bobby Black's messages via Gina's antenna ponytail, we read you loud and clear! Stay safe with Irene!! (That goes for all my fellow Mary Worth and Me posters!)
@Kathyo, Gina's ponytail is so out of date that when it begins to send messages, it makes that annoying phone-dialing sound. That, or the sound you get when you call a fax machine number. No wonder Bobby has stayed away!
@Heydave, Pining for the fjords!!! lol. Well, on that note, I must say that Gina has some lovely plumage.
I like how they cleverly use the word balloon to hide how even Mary herself has lost consciousness at this storyline.
"She's got a thing, that's called Radar Love...."
(...and stay safe during the storms!)
I think Gina's ponytail is actually causing hurricane Irene! Her transmittor signals are messing with the movement of large warm air masses, cold fronts, windy updrafts and all manner of twirling weather particles.
The feds are monitoring her, and soon will be knocking at her door with an arrest warrant. And, certainly there will be a revocation of her Waitress Protection Program membership! Poor Gina, sorry about yer luck!
Stay safe, Wanders! Hope you don't lose power.
Mary's sage advice..."Move on, you idiot."
Good luck, Wanders. Consider moving to Montana - we NEVER get a hurrican here.
Pepco is a power company? I thought they sold soda drinks!
Good luck, Wanders! And you know better than any of us how long it takes for something to happen in a Mary Worth story, so don't fret about that.
Okay, so Gina is about 21 years old or so right now? So this New York in her flashbacks is from the 1990s? *shrugs shoulders*
Anyway, I was most surprised that Karen Moy didn't use a Sunday for the usual omnibus edition of Mary Worth. [word block] Gina explains to Mary that she loved Bobby Black, i.e. a recap of the week in which we must see over and over again how Bobby Black loves, loves, LOVES! Gina...what's her name.
Hopefully we'll see some resolve in this upcoming week. And, as a former East Coaster, I would like to extend a heartfelt wish to all the readers that they remain safe in the wake of Hurricane Irene!
No need for digital technology or Facebook and other social networking sites for Bobby and Gina to re-unite. Only necessary to convince Bobby to read Mary Worth. Hopefully he will soon and we can go on to another relevant episode.
well, I hope the Wanders family is safe through the stormy weather.
For this morning's strip. It looks like the artist forgot which age to draw Gina. In the last panel,it looks like Bobby is hugging a fully developed woman. If that were so, I am sure Bobby WOULD never forget Gina. ( ala Summer of '42)
Answer: No.
Gina's ponytail must use Compuserve as its internet provider. Or her diner does not have WIFI. BUT, when is table 4 going to get their hamburger platter?
Just checking in after an Irene-filled weekend. Dave in Parma: congratulations! I have one question: why did Bobby, in the last panel of Sunday's strip, all of a sudden turn into a teenage Goofus or Gallant? But with less charm and humor.
