While Mary Worth continues to chat delightfully about the essential joys of human interaction, the "Phantom" has apparently grown bored with this Rashomon story and returned to its previously scheduled programming, which will no doubt feature human interaction of a different sort.

There's nothing like a pie in the face too. I'd like to fling them at Mary, Heloise, and KM.
Olive's having a particularly bad hair day in today's floating head. This may account for her "Oy vey!" expression.

Wonderfully well written, Wanders!

Heloise, perplexed: "I thought Oprah said that."
Well, the Phantom strip has returned to a dialogue between Mary and Heloise, but it's a completely different dialogue than the one in the Mary Worth strip!

I checked the blog today and was perturbed that no one had commented on today's strip. Then I read the strip, and it seems that Mary Worth has taken on the very bad habit of Apartment 3-G and simply offered a recap of this week's conversations. Dullsville! No wonder no one commented! There wasn't even a platitudinous quotation to snark on ...
