Mary Worth 1,164

This restaurant seems to have more table trouble than others. Every day, from every angle, the tables are mean and menacing. I am looking forward to Mary and Gina getting out of this House of Table Horrors.

Panel 2 is a lot more entertaining if you imagine Mary exclaiming in a Chico Marx voice, "My wallet! She's gone!"

mrvy said...

Yeah, in panel one Mary and Toby's table is gone, and the table to Mary's right looks like it's about to attack. What the heck?

Peggy Olson said...

Mary, I will now always hear Chico when I read Mary's words!

Imagine how much more entertaining Gina would have been if she had spoken with Jose Jimenez' accent. (I'm sure Moy would approve.)

Why am I hoping that Mary's wallet was takenby Gina? I would love a twist a la The Usual Suspects.

Gina said...

@Mary -- you owe me a new keyboard. :D

You may have thought that all the goofy facial expressions and comments of dumbitude were used up, but just watch!

kathyo said...

Wow, the portions at Restaurant must be huge, or did Mary eat two servings of pie? She suddenly looks about 25 lbs heavier.

You should have installed the latest securtiy in your purse Mary.

That table in the background scares me.

Toby's hand in the second panel disturbs me. And, wouldn't it be great if the menacing plant behind Toby was pleading, "Feed me, Seymour! I'm HUNGRY!!"

If the waiter had blue-black hair, he'd be a dead ringer for Bobby Black.

@kathy0 -- Probably just Mary's double chin coming into play, since her head is down...

Why is Mary sitting so far away from Toby in panel one, and then right next to her in panel two?

These tables are far too troublesome to ever be used at a fine restaurant like Diner.

That table looks as though it's about to pounce on Our Mary.

And Anonymous, I think you've got the right idea. Those two muggers -- the ones that I called "Sonny and Cher" the other night (in what I shall call a wine-induced frenzy) -- were really Gina and Bobby incognito!! They needed the money after Magilla McCoach fired Bobby.

WV: "excorm," which is what happens when you leave the chicken corma out too long.

Everyone's hands are scary today - that waiter has a killer thumbnail.

"Ok Toby, maybe you could catch the check today..."

Now, could it be that this theft of Mary's wallet will somehow ruin her financially? She will struggle to maintain the status quo (which is work in itself). And eventually she will return to New York to sell fruit on the sidewalk, becoming Big Apple Mary once again. Or she could go to Philly and become Scrapple Mary.

Mary should have realized this was the kind of restaurant that would harbor an unsavory criminal element. When she saw the waiters here didn't wear tuxedos, or even brocaded vests over their starched white shirts, she should have turned and left. But of course, naive Toby chose the restaurant, and Mary didn't want to insult Toby's choices. Now, of course, Mary wishes she had.

Toby, even if Mary's wallet fell out, it is still gone. What a ding dong.

James in ND: "Sonny and Cher" look like they be part of the Helen Clark family.

Wanders, James in ND has created a great tag for those two thieves, Hope you can use it.

What of value is Marys wallet anyway? Her Kroger card and an old receipt for that blouse she wanted to return at Maisies.

Oh and Jeffs picture. mushesse

birdie said...

Oh no! Mary's going to accuse the other waitress at Diner of taking her wallet. Run, waitress, run! Mary looks like she's in puitbull mode.
