Mary Worth 2029

"So we were both hurt working in the Secret Service. You were hurt by your perceived emotions, and your complete and utter dependence on my attention and presence in your life. And I was hurt by... well, an actual bullet. So that's another thing we have in common."

Today's strip.

"...so I moved to Santa Royale where Mary Worth could give me a piece of her mind..."

Did Moy once write for True Romance magazine? Her stories always return to the Love Solves Everything solution.

Adam isn't going to be the creepy stalker after all. Terry will be the lonely spinster who realizes the error of her ways and finds happiness via love/marriage.

Drat. I was hoping for Aldo-type villain.

"My entire life changed because of A Man."--Another KM storyline.

YET another KM storyline. How utterly boring and predictable.

KitKat said...

Ditto to Wanders and our other correspondents today. Not only has KM returned to her sappy romance scenario (with a crazed woman with big-time control issues), we've been deprived of the scene in which Adam purports to have "taken the bullet." Boo hiss.

Adam caught a bullet in his leg, but he dodged one in getting away from this incredibly controlling woman.

Please, please, give him the gumption to tell her that!

Yes to all previous posters' opinions!

How ridiculous a concept this is that a woman with the psychological strength to be hired for the Secret Service would crumble like a dried out flower when faced with a relationship issue. And that she was so upset and unable to cope she would have to leave not only her job (which would require a tremendous amount of vetting at no small expense to the taxpayer) but the location she built her career in is too idiotic to bear.

This plot makes the Hanna/Amy/Sean story seem like sophisticated literature.

It's comforting to know that the secret service lengthy hiring process resulted in such centered, emotionally stable recruits.

This is how people "catch up" with each other? Seems more like spiraling down into depression and despondence. But one kiss will turn it all around and they will move back to D.C. or NYC and get married. I still want to see Adams's death ray unleashed at least once before then though.

Hmm. . .I notice that Adam showed up at Charterstone right after yet another incident with Secret Service agents making some unsettling and undignified news . . I'm wondering if that "bullet" he took was REALLY the result of hitting that barricade in front of the White House. . .http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/secret-service-agents-investigated-for-late-night-car-accident-at-white-house/2015/03/11/9c853906-c7ff-11e4-a199-6cb5e63819d2_story.html. .. Oh! I forgot; Adam is a comic strip character . ..

Wednesday
Terry's hairstyle hasn't changed in eight years either. However, judging by her left hand in the second panel, she may be about to transform into a werewolf.

We've gone many days without an appearance by Mary. Doesn't she have to give her official Mary Worth Blessing to reunite these two for things to count?

I Am Not a Robot said...

Re: @KitKat-- Well, Mary will have to find SOME way to stick her nose into this in order to think she can take credit for bringing these two sickening lovebirds back together...

Terry's hairstyle (which, I admit, fascinates me to an unhealthy degree) is basically a man's haircut with a paintbrush attached in the back. I think Uncle Joe was inspired by his environment. Certainly not by how real women style their hair.
