Mary Worth 1,199

...she asks, holding her pad and pencil in her hand, staring out the window at the cars in the parking lot. Hmmm.

I love that Mary Worth's palette is so intense it cannot be contained by her scarf.

Today's Full Strip

Perhaps Mary should just go doddering out there and sit down next to Emily and say, "Mind if I join you? I don't like to eat alone. What's good here?"
(Answer: not the service, although the ice cream is free)

I thought Mary already decided to block the exit to Diner with her car/body. Why are they debating this?

And how is it Emily and Dude are able to walk in, order, and be served their meal in one panel, yet it's taking the SRPD at least 4 strips to get there?

Realizing the urgencey of this situation, Bree continues... "And the readers of this comic strip-- can we stall them long enough to get them to STAY here!? Karen Moy, DO something!!!!"

Meg, you have the idea. Mary could pull off the lost crazylady "act" so well, she have McThuggy turning himself in right away!

Nice hidden comment wanders. I liked the bonus face touch by Bree today too.

And Mary, she wouldn't tell Bree her name, but you'll be happy to know she did say she was from Goleta (as you seem overly preoccupied with that fact).

And Ice T, your comment brings up another question: how were they able to get their food already--they've only been at the dinner for three weeks. Most people are lucky to get a menu in that time.

They remind me of Lucy and Ethel.

"I love that Mary Worth's palette is so intense it cannot be contained by her scarf." Good one, Wanders.

Thank you for making me smile.

Happy New Year to you and yours,

Oh my goodness, we're back to stalling them & trying to figure out if it's really Emily or not. Didn't we cover this territory a couple weeks ago? Diner must be smack-dab in the center of the great Rainbow Swirl of Time.

Please, please, PLEASE let the police get there before Sunday! This needs to be resolved by year-end!

All of Bree's other customers have fainted from hunger by now. At this pace, they'll be dead by New Year's Eve.

How many of us expect a New Year's Day strip with Mary pouring motor oil over a tray of bizarre food-like substances while her lost-in-space guests salute her?

Did the police go to the wrong Diner or what? Mary was on the phone with the dispatcher on the 21st, 22nd, 23rd, and 24th, and she said it was an emergency!

Since Mary seems to be able to wish cupboard doors to appear/disappear, plants to move around, furniture to come and go, she should be able to wish all the doors away trapping McThuggy inside.

Thuggy must really be stressed. He's producing so much testosterone that his beard is growing at an increased rate.

I looked at MW online yesterday morning, in the tiny version. Saw nothing out of the boring ordinary.

Looked at the same strip in the newspaper last evening (Don't ask me why!) and I SWEAR it looks like Mary has Bree's face in HER hand! Made me laugh.

At least SOMETHING in this comic does.

(...Well, excluding all of you brilliant MW&me contributors, of course!)
