Do you know what I remember? I remember that Mary Worth was an accomplished skater who still enjoys the freedom of the ice. If Ken Kensington doesn't get her out on that ice now, he will miss out on the perfect opportunity to win Mary's heart.
If you haven't voted for the Worthy Awards, please do so. And if you figure out a way to vote twice, no one is going to say anything. By the way, the Condo Committee got a call from Ken Kensington's publicist about omitting him from the ballot. Apocalyptic doesn't quite describe the fury, but suffice it to say, he's been added. So all you Nostradamus fans should try to vote again.

Autograph seeker has man hands. And am I the only one that sees Hockey-playing Jesus just above the Moy+Giella logo?
Those people are skating like their lives depend on it! Are the staging a production of Serpico on Ice?
Okay, something really odd is going on with these faces. Dear Old Shelly Cohen yesterday and Autograph Annie today have exaggerated Joker grins in profile that are really off-putting. Annie is probably about to go full on malevolent when she sees that Broadway Legend Ken Kensington just scribbled the word "DRY" in her note pad. It happens off panel, like yesterday when DOSC scolded Mary for cramming half a bagel in her mouth while waxing rhapsodically about BLKK and his considerable skills in squiring.
I think the chubby lady getting the autograph is Avocado Aggie's sister from another mister.
Also, I am perplexed how anyone can make a musical out of Nostradamus. (2K's defining and it seems, only role.) Nostradamus was a lot of things: (prophet, fraud, all around crazy guy), but I can't see him as a singer. Perhaps, Moy and Uncle Joe (whom I think has taken a break from reality and is drawing the characters this week like super villains) can do a flashback and show 2K doing his greatest triumph.
RE: The ice skating rink: It looks like either a mugging or the Roller Derby is going on. I'd love to see the Central Park Troll on skates.
Regina the NY Diva, the stage production of Nostradamus was based on the documentary Nostradamus: The Man Who Saw Tomorrow, which was narrated by Orson Welles. So Broadway Legend Ken Kensington narrated the production as Orson Welles. There is a stunning dance number with the prophesied despot in the blue turban.
So much to love in today's panel! The stalker/fan looks like she's scheming an evil plot. KK can hold a pen and write while wearing incredibly large gloves. And those skaters look like the figures on a foosball table. Score!
I must protest the change in Worthy Award nominees. Wanders, you've succumbed to outside pressure and added KK to the list.
What's next? Will Dawn Weston wage an internet campaign to be added as Best Supporting Whiner?
It looks like a hockey game is in progress in the background, which means that little girl with the pigtails may be in deep trouble.
The faces in this strip are getting more and more disturbing every day. Autograph Annie gives me the shudders.
Annie: "I can't believe I'm meeting Broadway Legend Ken Kensington....and his mother!"

@Toots McGee at 8:32 AM, I love the idea of 2K narrating "Nostradamus" as Orson Welles. That reminded me of this SCTV classic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6N8ADDDs0k
How many years ago was 2K's triumph in "Nostradamus," anyway? A performance that spectacular surely would have won K2 a Tony, but his name is not included in the Tony Awards history, which indicates "Nostradamus" was pre-1947.
@Peggy Olsen -- K2 was always listed as a nominee, with a featured panel and everything, but lacked a circle to click on if one wanted to vote for him. At least that's how it appeared on my browser.
Today brings more K2 drama; what on earth has happened to his nose? We're all concerned about the shape-shifting faces...
Re: "Nostradamus"
I'm picturing a love story, with a winsome young thing...an evil king, maybe a trial before the Inquisition for a showdown scene...
Aw, I got nothing. Maybe Rodgers and Hammerstein could have done it.
Also is it NO-stradamus or NAW-stradamus?
I knew Nostradamus, and you, sir, are no Nostradamus.
Nostradamus, The Musical would be a lot like Rasputin, The Musical. Anything can be a musical. Titanic was a musical, remember?
Holy crap, that was way too much usage of the word "musical."

Far from making me HEART NY, this tour of The City has made me dislike it. I am bored by NY and believe it has really tacky restaurants.
I'm looking forward to New Year's Eve when Ken tries to kiss Mary at midnight. Mary will start the new year off by crushing a lonely man's soul and breaking his heart (could be one of her resolutions). I may be wrong but this storyline will not end well for K2 - he's in for a world of hurt. Or maybe Mary sets K2 up with Shelly and all is well in NYC again? A desparate K2 doesn't seem too particular who he hooks up with.
It appears that K2 left his false teeth in the glass by his bed.
And another thing..Autograph Annie looks a lot like the heavy set woman at the airport in the movie Total Recall that turned out to be Arnold Schwartzenegger's disguise to get through customs on Mars.

I thought Mama Cass died. And now she (or the Scooby Doo episode version of her) turns up seeking K2';s autograph. Too bad she didn't ask him out on a date and tell him he could bring her mother along.
Mary seems to be morphing into the grinch in panel two today.
I think it's time to face facts. There's a new artist in the Worthiverse, and their name isn't Joe. It's a brave new world!
Back in the day, we figure skaters had to clear the ice when the New York Rangers came to Rockefeller Center ice rink for practice, but everyone is skating together harmoniously now, which is heartwarming.
Looking at Mary's clenched hands and set jaw, I'm wondering if K2 has seen or read Stephen King's "Misery". Mary is a "fan" and I'm starting to worry about K2's well-being.
Darn...for a split second I thought we had a return of Bonny, Bonny Johnson with the introduction of autograph seeking fan. But then I realized she would be busy catching the bargains after Christmas.
Today, it looks like K2 is ready to propose. Fortunately, Heartbreaker Mary is well-practiced in turning down marriage proposals. She's just not ready to settle down yet, you know.
