Thanks to Moy/Giella for mailing it in and using the 2nd panel for the 2nd straight day.
Q: name three things you thought (or wanted) to have associated in the same panel?
A: Dr. Jeff, Mary Worth, Happy Ending
Critical correction on my comment above: that's NEVER thought and NEVER wanted...
Happy ending?? I disagree. After sitting through this overly long, numbingly dull story, and after listening to Mary endlessly bragging about what a hero she is, while Dr. Jeff drinks himself to death... after all that, we're told that it could happen in our own backyard.
I'm depressed.
"brobitun (WV)" As in, "When taking brobitun, side affects may include dizziness and the resultant inability draw with any continuity whatsoever. If a truly boring storyline persists, immediately consult with your physician."
I like the fish swimming past Jeff's head.
To make this ending perfect, Big Mouth Billy Bass in panel one should have started singing "Don't Worry, Be Happy"...
WV: "thiti" - thith weekth thripth.
2nd WV after preview: "satan". I took a screen capture to prove it!
I THOUGHT this epic sounded familiar. I guess Moy does process the news...
And next, on KSRY, our main story: Mary Worth to be Fetid in Santa Royale.
I've just been handed a correction: Mary Worth to be Feted in Santa Royale.
And now, KSorry is happy to bring you that story: Mary Worth is Fetid and will be Feted in Santa Royale.
Mary Worth, the smug and insufferable heroine of last week's Emily Smith rescue drama, is to be honored with a parade through the streets of our beloved little city.
Mary will be riding on a small donkey, wearing a blue and white cloak, and with beams of light emanating from her.
And now a report from our man on the scene, reporter Dan Smallman.
Dan, are you there? This is Callista Cardashian, back at the station. Dan...Dan Smallman, are you there?
Carlene, I'm down here, standing behind Emily's baby brother.
Oh, Dan, I didn't see you there. What's going on at the parade?
Well, crowds are sparse, and many are holding signs, I don't know if you can see them.
There's one that says Mary Worth is an Intolerable Bore, another that says, Mary Worth is a Heroine with a Conscience, and yet another that says, Noble is the Only Way She Knows How to Be. And here comes the woman of the hour, the one and only Mary Worth!
Mary, Mary, can we have a word?
Mary: I can't see something, but I can do something. I can say, I have a moral compass. Now, if you'll excuse me, Dan, I must ride on. My ass is too small to go on much longer.
There you have it, Callista. I've just been told by taller people that Mary has arrived at City Hall and is being presented the key to the City personnel files by Mayor Leif Asol.
Mary has volunteered to go through the files and meddle in the business of all city employees. Another great coup for Santa Royale, the city that cares about your business. Back to you, Carlene.
Thanks, Dan, see you at Diner, or in the funny papers.
So what terrible thing is going to happen in the Bum Boat? Lemon Wedge has theives. Diner has kidnappers. Bum Boat has . . .
Even the poor fish on the wall has to get away from this mess of smugness.
And look what the Bum Boat has for dessert for Mary and Jeff...rainbow swirl brown gloop!
Mary picks at her oval-shaped gruel with her tiny spoon while Jeff stares dejectedly into his empty wine glass. Shaking a fist in the direction of Ohio, at Dave, for putting the thought of Jeff and Mary and Happy Endings into my head, which I now can't remove.
wv: suriz. As in: suriz dull around here.
Meg @ 10:10 AM, your on-the-scene report is priceless!
Yipes, today's view of the Smith Family Reunion is creepy. Emily's profile reminds me of (gasp!) Aldo Kelrast. Mother Smith is looking more and more like the standard-issue Giella purple-garbed blonde. Father Smith appears to be attempting the Vulcan mind-meld with his daughter ("Emily, what did you and Wayne do when you weren't coloring in diners?"). And, what's with the menacing police figures in the shadowy background?
WV "hatesses" - obviously a response to Meg's mention of MW's ass.
How many right-handed people keep their wine glass to their left when seated at a dinner table?
Other than MW?
Seriously, did Giella just ink in the two cops? That is NOT what is meant by "more work" Mr. G!
Thorpnotized, you get the BEST word verifications! I'm green with envy.
