Mary Worth 1,194

If McThuggy suddenly tries to leave, another stalling technique Bree can use is to wrap him up in her elastic arm and hold him until the police arrive.

Hulk kidnap girl. Hulk glare at girl. But mmmm, Hulk like rainbow swirl.....

We can chart how evil McThuggy is by how quickly his beard has grown - scroll back to last Wednesday and see how, from the back, he was clean-shaven. This is some tough dude, to go and sprout all that hair in one diner outing. And I'm glad to see Mary is now using a real cell phone (whose, though?) and not her hand, when placing phone calls. Hurry, cops, hurry! We bought some time with the rainbow swirl, but that won't hold Hulky McThuggy forever!

McThuggy "kidnapped" Emily because of an unresolved custody dispute, wanting simply to be with his daughter at Christmas. Want to bet they join Mary and Jeff for Christmas dinner?

It's an act: we will be led to see that our castigation of McThuggy as a rude and boorish criminal is really just misunderstood.

And Mary's Festivus gift will be to learn not to meddle!

Bless us every one.

Who is Bree looking back at in the first panel? Is she about to break the fourth wall?

Hermite said...

Ack, she's looking at me. Make it stop, make it stop!

(My thoughts when I first saw that)

Mary said...

@Punky, it's possible that McThuggy's beard grows at a typical rate. Maybe the amount of facial hair since last Wednesday is an expression of how long it takes to get some attention in Diner.

"Me like ice cream. Me not notice it took four days for Bree to bring food."

Is there, perchance, a full moon in Santa Royale tonight?

911 Transcripts -

Operator: "911, what is your emergency?"

Mary: "This is an emergency!"

Operator: "(?)!"

Diner must serve some hefty portions, because Thuggy has gained about 30 pounds since he sat down- Which is a good thing, since at this rate, he won't be able to run when the cops show up.

Give it five more minutes and they'll be able to ask Emily her name, serve her rainbow swirl on a cone, let her be waitress for a day, and reunite her with her parents...all in front of Porcuhulk McThuggy who looks pretty tightly wedged in to the booth.

@tuffenuf- LOL!

McThuggy--"Oh please...I had my heart set on tutti-fruitti...."

KitKat said...

Notice that Bree has apparently removed the letters from her name badge. Good thinking, Bree, you don't want Thuggy to be able to identify you! Meanwhile, Mary is placing her call one table away from Thuggy's table. Is she whispering, "This is an emergency!"?

Scroll down to the bottom of the page where TMcT is saying 'let's get something to eat'. Now scroll back up to today's pic where he's saying okay. Is that even the same guy? The Man of Various Faces will never be captured!
