Finally, Mary Worth returns to the basics: the Dark Arts. No more Sitting-On-The-Sidelines Mary! She's ready to meddle and shape the destiny of even the most unworthy purple-clad, love-losing woman-child. Beware the beguiling Dawn Weston, gentlemen. She's soon to be armed with a love spell that will drag your heart to the very depths of hell.
Today's Full Strip

Mary's platitudes make me cry, while Dawn's platitudes make me laugh!
Was that the intended effect?
Apparently Dr. Jeff is not magic ni any way. Nor does he appear to be of any use to Mary other than, like a brick wall, some object to talk to with no expectation of anything meaningful in return. How can Dr. Jeff not be devastated after Mary's little speech today.
Note to self - don't eat any Mary Worth special casseroles (or salmon squares, kelk cookies, etc.).
So Mary is now filled with faith in love, people and life. What happened that had her in such a cynical state? Maybe she had stopped taking her antidepressants.
Poor Dawn can't trust anyone anymore. Even her white bear seems to have abandoned her. Maybe those new bedroom curtains will help to cheer her up.
A cheapo surprise wedding in a borrowed mansion did all that for her? What would happen if she read a Nicholas Sparks novel?
I'm sure that somehow George Sand had Gina and Bobby in mind, not herself and Frederic Chopin, when Moy lifted this quotation.
Dr. Jeff is getting so tired of Mary's obsession with the Black nuptials that the stripes fell right off his shirt between panels two and three. I feel your pain, Doc!
So is the moral for today that love is a zero-sum system? When Gina found love does that mean that someone else (ie Dawn) must lose love to keep the "magic" in balance?
Monday, May 21: As Karen Moy loves to sprinkle quotations into MW, I suggest this one for Mary herself: "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall" (Proverbs, 16-18).
Is it just me,or is Dr. Jeff starting to look seedy lately? His face looks wrong, with more lines and he seems more troubled. It isn't uncommon for doctors to become addicted to narcotics or suicidal. Mary needs to stop warbling about her latest adventure and arrange an intervention.
I wonder how D-Dan Smithers is doing . . .
@KitKat: I agree with you completely. Is Moy setting Mary up for an epic fail with Dawn?
As an aside, who are these people, and why are all the curtains I Santa Royale pink?
Does anyome else notice reccurring themes pouring forth from Moy's limited imagination? Is she lazy, boring or both?
