Mary Worth 1,492

That's a great idea Toby! Mary would easily beat John Dill, and laugh at him all the way to the winner's circle!

Oh, Mary would enter, except that two years ago, after her last creation sent five judges to the hospital, those darned organizers inserted a "no salmon" rule that more or less rules out all her recipes.

Toby and Mary look like they're practising some dance moves.

Do you suppose this panel about being award-worthy will turn out to be worthy of winning a Worthy award?

fauxprof said...

The burning question: is John Dill(inger)'s cake Worthy Award award-worthy? Next year, if Wanders includes a Bizarre/Grotesque Food category, that cake should certainly be in the running.

Nance said...

Wow. And I thought things got boring when Mary sat down at Big Computer Screen. Whew.

Did anyone else notice how much Toby has aged in Panel Two? She looked pretty old. She was really channeling MW there.

That's right Mary, make a bigger, pinker, unicornier cake and put that John Dill back in his place.

Mary and Toby make good exercise.

Gee, this reminds me of an old Andy Griffith episode when Aunt Bea enters the pie baking contest at the county fair. Everyone thinks she's a cinch to win with her prune and raisin tart, but then Gomer's Grammaw Pyle enters her rhubarb-mincemeat pie, and Ernest T. Bass enters a pie with bourbon filling and Barney gets drunk and Andy has to arrest him and then Floyd er, er, no, maybe none of this actually was on that show.
Never mind.

Oh Jeez, Mare, nobody could possibly achieve greatness comparable to yours! Surely your abilities eclipse those of all other beings, particulary in the aesthetically disquieting foods preparations category.

You've won every blue ribbon ever awarded in the Bland Chunks category of the Greater Santa Royale Culinary Arts Festival (sponsored by Ropply's Believe it or Not and Tucks Medicated Pads)

Now we have to deal with the disappearing and reappearing stripes on Toby's tracksuit...

KitKat said...

Despite Mr. Giella's attempt to make it look like Mary and Toby are actually exercising, there's no way they can be exerting themselves while keeping up a conversation like this. Otherwise, we'd be reading "John Dill's [puff puff] holiday party [whew] cake really [ugh] impressed me [groan]."

Tsk tsk, Toby, it's a cake DESIGN contest, not a cake-making contest!

How can anyone stretch out a cake decorating story for four months? Then again, we do have Master Moy on the job. Sorry, dumb question.

I am certain that the word verifications for this blog will be more entertaining than this story.

How long will Mary go on with this full name nonsense?

"John Dill" as opposed to "john" or even "Mr. Dill"?

What's next, Wilbur Sandwich Weston or Dawn Brutal Weston?

heydave said...

And hey, what's with the short person jokes, you burnout?

Srsly, talk about a runner's high, those two are baked in the second panel.

WV: such pu... indeed!

birdie said...

I think Mary, as his assistant, will pop out of his next cake. What other possible reason is there to make such a ginormous pink cake? What Mary really wanted to say was his cake was Worth-worthy.

Ben said...

Toby seems a little uncomfortable at Mary Worth's sudden fascination with her young, supple ribs.

kathyo said...

Now that Mr. Trololo has passed away, I would look forward to a new Worthy Awards tradition of including a fabulous, award-worthy decorated cake by a certain former hotel manager.

Does Mary remember her children who would probably be in their 90's by now.
Why don't they ever come to visit her? Have they banned her from visiting them?
