Despite the heroic efforts of Chin Napkin, pinkcake has achieved critical mass, with horrifying results. Unfortunately, this is occurring behind Mary and John, the only people in the arena old enough to remember "Duck and Cover" drills.
A vacation for two at the Four Seasons Resort in Bora Bora, donated by Adrian and Scott Hewlett. Unfortunately, the Groupon offer--originally purchased by Jill Black--expired about 18 months ago.
Anyone else hear the old Star Trek theme music in their heads while looking at the strip today?
"Special Surprise" sounds very juvenile. Like what I would offer my boys if they'd eat all their dinner when they were toddlers. That turned out to be a Pudding Pop or a Ho Ho or a peanut butter cup.
I believe those are flash bulbs in the background. Obviously,an even ot this magnitude would attract the internationl press. Chin Napkin alone warrants the coverage.
Don't get me wrong. I love and admire Chin Napkin, as you know. But in our world, such events are covered by a desperate-looking free-lancher who take his/her own photos or the intern on the local paper using her/his cellphone to take photos... if there is a local paper.
$10,000? I'm taking tomorrow off to buy a bunch of pink cake pans, several pink Betty Crocker Mixes and pink frosting containers and get baking. Now all I need is a meddling senior citizen to help me carry my cake around and I'll be all set.
I think Mary Worth will dump Dr. Jeff in favor of John Dill and here's why:
- Even with the shield from reality that her smugness gives her, Mary Worth has to realize her helping people is NOTHING compared to Dr. Jeff's charitable work.
- Dr. Jeff has no more children which could make new plots for the strip.
- John Dill has trained his nasal hair to look like a dapper mustache!
- John Dill has that nervousness bordering on megalomania which would attract a meddler like Mary. She can buck him and up and bring him down as needed.
- The number one reason Mary Worth will dump Dr. Jeff in favor of John Dill: she gets to drive!
I think the "special" surprise is that the $10,000 prize money will be paid out $10 per year for 1000 years. Although, Mary just might live long enough to receive the full amount.

$10,000 plus an all expense paid trip to Hawaii for the winning team.
What could Jeff, who has been watching on the Cake Channel, be thinking of all this?
$10,000 ?!? I'm at a loss for words...
I wrote an exposé on Moy in the Cleveland.com comments: she obviously just googled "cake contest first prize", saw the first entry (a $10,000 first prize for some international cake contest which doesn't even appear to have happened)! If she had let her eyes stray down the page, she would have seen prizes in the range of $200-250 dollars for local cake contests.
LA-A-A-A-A-A-A-ZY!!!
Gooly gee, those 1st-prize ribbons look like the award to the prize hog at a county fair.
The "special surprise" is a cruise for two on the Unita del Mare II. Happy sailing, Team DillWorth!

Face touching alert! Face touching alert!!
They're going to BIDDYWORLD!

Maybe it's a cruise! Who would John Dill take?
The dogs at Westminster got better ribbons....just sayin'
Now the infighting begins. That $10,000 prize is gonna breakup this lovely couple. I'm just saying...
Contests are brutal.

@Chin Napkin Groupie,
You forgot to add "... only in the Worthiverse"!

Depressing but true.

This panel is awesome! I just love the surrealness of it.
I can't wait for them to hear that they're going on a Carnival Cruise. They'd better take the cake with them; food might not be easy to come by.
No-o-o-o-o-o-o!! Don't cover Mary Worth's come-and-go monogram with that 1st prize ribbon!!
Yes, John Dill. It IS surreal that you won $10,000 for your ghastly pink cake.

I almost peed myself at fauxprof's critical mass comment!!
Sometimes I wonder how MW doesn't have the snark following FBOFW had. This strip has so much more snark value that it's ridiculous.
Personally I thought they were setting off fireworks for DillWorth or they had been jettisoned into outer space.
Finally, my question is where is this going? Is he going to pursue her, or is this just the end and Mary will be on to do her next "good deed"?
I'm terribly afraid that the special surprise is a fully-paid trip to the Nationals (and I don't mean the MLB team).
So disappointed that we weren't treated to a special Valentine's Day platitude....
Maybe the surprise is John Dill waking up on the kitchen floor... all of this has been nothing more than a delerium-induced daydream.
@heydave,
That would explain so-o-o-o-o-o-o much!!
