You know, I think Mary Worth has identified my problem. I've always suffered from a deep sense of inadequacy, and that is probably why I write this blog, when what I really want to do is write Mary Worth. And the first thing I would do is get Mary Worth to stop identifying my PROBLEMS! Today's Full Strip

It looks like the goiter from Toby's shoulder has attached itself to her throat. She really should have that seen to.
It looks like a finger pointing duel is happening! Two go in, one comes out...
Wanders, have you ever written the owners of Mary Worth, and offered your services to write the strip?
You'd probably do a better job than Moy. But 1000 drunk monkeys would do a better job!
Please deep-six the new "anti-robot" system...
Boy, if Nola's this obnoxious and intolerable because of feelings of inadequacy, just imagine how awful she'd be if she actually had real self-confidence.

Whoa Nelly, Toby is getting so testy with Mary! I think she's still peeved that Mary neglected her for so long when the Gina-Bobby reunion was in full swing. ("Full swing" in the Worthiverse equals "creeping along at a glacial pace.")
Close your mouth, Toby. We are not a codfish.
I sense that "inadequacy" is a new word in Toby's vocabulary. Mary Worth is constantly educating her!
Nola is playing Mary like a fiddle. As a kid she was probably a spoiled princess who always got preferential treatment. Then she entered the adult world and got denied now and then--for what? An enormous diamond? A raise? A loan modification? Boo-hoo.
But if there's anything consistent about this strip, it's that no character ever had a normal childhood--always something dramatic happened for Mary to uncover and amend. Here we go again; I'm bored already.
GO TOBY!! Wow, is she ever fired up! I'm pretty sure that Nola has looked more than once at Toby's hubby. Something has that woman upset, and all I can say is, I hope this leads to fisticuffs!
Random pointing is such a trademark of this strip. Like Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown, or Ziggy getting shat upon by life itself. Only far less entertaining.
I like to pretend it's part of some dark magic evil summoning spell, one they've cast so many times that they now just idly chit-chat throughout the ritual.
"I've pointed to the East to summon Belial. Now you point to the floor to summon Asmodeus. Oh, and did I tell you about Nola?"
"Oh, that slut..!"
OK, two things.
One, the new double word verification may well be a Moy-Ploy to keep us from commenting on the strip. I have to refresh at least six time in order to receive a WV that I can read.
Two, "phoebes in santa fe" spoke of "drunk monkeys" today. Do yourself a favor (if you have not already done so) and search for "trunk monkeys"! You will not be disappointed! (It's clean and funny!)
The second word of my wv is 'worthy'.
All I can say is "!"
The 2 word WV is now in use at all Blogger sites. Blogger is owned by Google. I don't like it and would like to find a way to complain to Google about it.
Wow, Mary sure is the kind of person I'd want to take into my confidence! Exactly how long was Nola gone before Mary shared her problems with Toby?
Isn't it sad that Mary didn't give the same benefit of the doubt to poor ol' Aldo Kelrast? If she had, we might still be seeing his Captain Kangaroo-like visage in the Worthiverse.
Moy has become so bland there is nothing to comment about.
So Mary is having a conversation with Toby about her conversation with Nola. Could this comic get any more exciting? ;-)
@KitKat : Yep, I guess we'll know Mary finally gives up on Nola when we find her body at the bottom of Aldo Kelrast Canyon!
Toby, at least, has her hobby of clown painting and floor tiling to keep her busy. Oh, and keeping Chinbeard "under wraps" of course. You go girl!
Maybe next week we can watch Toby relate Nola's story to Chinbeard. That might be good for another week of boring conversation...
Happy Mardi Gras tomorrow! Pancakes for dinner! So begins my fast from blogs until Easter Sunday.
Nola suffering from "inadequacy" and an "unhappy childhood" make me think one of two things could happen - either Nola will say "Let met tell you a story," complete with flashback pictures, or Mary will send Nola to Dr. Mike Roberts for therapy, leading to more drunk texting from Jenna. Both are good.
