Things I love about today's strip:
- The paper bag that Beth has been carrying all week suddenly disappears in panel two.
- Laws of physics do not apply to liquids in Santa Royale.
- Actually, the laws of physics don't apply to anything in Santa Royale.
- Beth's left forearm is directly attached to her shoulder in panel one.
- Eleanor Dill's ashes were left behind when John Dill moved out of the apartment. Now Elinor Kinley has moved in... I think this plot is about to get a whole lot spookier.

And in panel 2, doesn't Beth look like a mannequin??
You took all the Good Stuff to nitpick at.
I will say, however, that Beth's enthusiasm (i.e. "Great!") is just a natural response to shopping at a store named "Food Team."
SO reminiscent of Thunderbirds....
@Nance, or there's still stuff to pick over!
- Ants everywhere!
- Elinor's face slippage (again!)!
- Elinor is lactose intolerant!!
Elinore was watching out the window as Tom and Beth left. She knows Beth's car never left the parking lot. Beth is grounded!
6. Beth's bangs grew at least 2 inches since earlier in the day!
My favorite thing about Mary Worth is definitely the arms. Always trying to hide them, avoid them, or obscure where they attach to the body. It's like Christmas, only for people who hate arms.
Hmmm, Inkwell - does that make poor old Jim the most Mary-Worth-y character ever?
I agree the arms are a prime features, but I remain mesmerized by the ever-changing perspective. And, of course, the ants.
I'm impressed with Elinor's dexterity with the milk carton. Strong bones! Do not underestimate this woman!
It looks like Eleanor Dill's grey urn is on the counter in panel two
The trick is to find the things that are RIGHT in today's strip. For one thing, the calendar actually says "April". No dates or year, but the month is correct, at least.
I didn't see the hand growing directly out of Beth's shoulder. How hilarious! I did notice, however, that Beth has no shoulder bag in panel one when she enters the kitchen, but thought better and put it back on in panel two as she puts the groceries away. You never know when you have to do a runner, I guess.
Today's strip is seriously a gift from above!
@Nonny Mus--Oh, of course! But I said "Good Stuff."
Beth's clothes look terribly uncomfortable, like they're made from starched canvas. Or vinyl tablecloths. Hurtful.
"How DARE you have a great trip to the grocery store! Trips to the grocery store are meant to be strictly mediocre!"
Sunday...
Either Beth is transforming into a Smurf, or that's what happens when she lies to Mommie Dearest. (Hey Northeast Ohioans, remember Ghouldardi's "Turn blue, you knif!")
Looking at the last panel, I thought that Tom is wearing the worst-ever rubber gloves. Then I realized those are his arms - ugh.
One more thing - Beth's bangs have shrunk. Lying really does take a toll!
My word verification is "stomach agedEns," which is what will happen to Tom's stomach after he eats the dinner Beth prepares.
