Mary Worth 1998

If ever a work of art has captured the essence of familial love, it is this one. Gordy's attachment to his grandmother is clearly unmatched as she takes a break from packing boxes to explain to her daughter why she and Gordy were excluded from her recent marriage ceremony. Additionally, it portrays without irony the artist's deep understanding of matrimonial bliss as Hanna is empowered to move herself into her man's apartment the day after her wedding.

If only KM were TRYING

A) to be this ironic
B) to be this ridiculous
C) to be this hilarious.

Then the whole thing would be GENIUS.

Instead, it's pathetic. And...again with the pointing.

Wanders, that is a perfect description of today's heart-warming episode.

Note how Amy and Hanna talk about Gordy in the third person, like he's not even present. Of course, since he's again fixated on an electronic device and isn't making eye contact with his mother and grandmother, I suppose he really is not present. Perhaps Karen Moy is highlighting a social problem in our culture with her customary subtlety. Piece of work!

Again, dead celebrities are being cast in the role of Gordy. Today, in panel one, we are pleased to welcome the late Arthur Godfrey. We've missed you, Arthur.

After passing the end several times, let's hope that this interminable story is winding up. I'm even ready for the further angst-ridden travails of Dawn Weston.

Hanna needs to unpack those boxes quickly before they float away.

Hanna could shoot somebody's eye out with that finger. She shows her love in unusual fashion.

So suddenly Hanna is worried she won't have enough time with Gordo--the wonder-child huh?!?

I've been on her side throughout this whole fiasco of a storyline but this is just too much. I'm quitting 'Team Hanna' and joining 'Team Disgruntled"--again.

And on the topic of 'too much', the time spent on this has been just that. MOVE ON ALREADY.

I meant to comment on Amy's appearance yesterday. About as unattractive a depiction of a young woman as I've ever seen: wild-eyed, triumphantly swinging her arm at the thought of not working, and using bad grammar besides. Dave is getting a real prize.

"the artist's deep understanding of matrimonial bliss" Wanders, you made me laugh out loud. Several times. Thank you!

BTW, are all of those boxes (and the yet to be packed pictures on the spinning walls) headed to the new digs, or to Goodwill?

This storyline took too long and is being wrapped up with too neat of a bow. Suddenly both women are married and all their dreams have come true?! Hanna's babysitting problems are ended and she's got a man with a car who can ferry her around and even if he dies, she's got the shuttle; Amy's dating problems have ended and she gets to quit her job. . . . . it's all too neat and tidy and UNBELIEVABLE in the 21st century. Um, KMoy, this is supposed to reflect real life in 2015, not 1915.
