Mary Worth 1,644

Wonderful. Another hike. Two in one day. The possibilities are endless. Literally.

A big welcome to all of our new citizens! We have officially passed the 200 mark. Thanks everyone for your support of Mary Worth & Me!

Today's Full Strip

Wanders: The information box in yesterday's strip said "Mary fills her days at the resort with physical activities." So today's hike is not taking place on the same day as Mary's excursion with June. Of course, we don't know how many days have passed, but I'm just glad we didn't have to see Mary in various forms of physical activity on each of those days.

Wanders, I'm unable to join your community. A message asks me to try again later.

Has the Charterstone board rejected my application? They accepted Beth and her wrinkled prune - er- Mom, but not me? Oh my, I need some comfort and wise advice.

Where's Mary when I need her?

Well, Peggy, I think we know just the person to help you. The next time your doorbell rings, be prepared for that blinding halo of white hair, a firm handshake, and the presence of a suitcase that indicates the intent to stay for a month or three. If you're lucky, she'll have Mr. Alura (sp?) come along to help you pack for Charterstone...

I would choose to jump into the pool AFTER a desert hike, not before. However, I am not Mary Worth.

Something in that pool (excess chlorine?) has shrunk Mary's suit - the square neckline we saw on Sunday is now a sweetheart neckline. That ladder handle is sparing us the sight of any cleavage, thank goodness.

Stay tuned for tomorrow's exciting episode when Mary washes her hair.

All kidding aside, Mary has looked damned good in almost all these pool panels and downright ravishing in the toweling off scene. Is old Joe undergoing some kind of hormone therapy?

I, for one, cannot wait for Mary to wander (get it?!) alone in the desert spouting platitudes to herself. You know, for those readers just too dumb to fully appreciate her points when she delivers her lines to bit players.

Mary has discovered the fountain of youth!

After another hike, Mary will go watch some paint dry.

You know, Karen Moy really missed an opportunity when she had the chance to send Mary to be John Dill's cooking assistant for a year. Mary would have had all of Manhattan to meddle.

OH MY....Mary is being set up for DEATH! Moy (so far) doesn't seem to have a clue about the summer heat in Arizona. Just wait, there's going to be some drama or Moy is even dumber than I thought.

What kind of stimulant meds are they putting in her agua?!? Her energy level is just not normal. A hike after an invigorating swim... indeed!

@Anonymous 2:43--Oh, it's possible for KM to be way dumber than everyone thinks.

Sheesh, I hate to admit it, but Mary's got a pretty great physique for a 105 yr. old woman! (I'm kind of jealous, b/c I have the typical late middle-age wrinkles, spider veins, and skin keratoses that most women have. And a few extra pounds as well... grrrr.) She's even looking a bit "come-hither" in the second panel! Surely some Aldo Kelrast type is vacationing at Pax and ogling her through binoculars in his poolside balcony room! Suddenly he decides he, too, would like to take a desert hike! You know the rest: "Well hellooo!" Please???
