"Speaking of local hot spots, we would love to take you and Olive out to A Local Hot Spot for dinner tonight. No wait, I meant Eddy and I are going to A Local Hot Spot, and would love to give you and Olive some alone time in our moneyed apartment. Get used to it, dear lady"

Today's secret message is a real hoot, Wanders.
Mary's going to have a tough time taking off her coat, let alone using the bathroom, with Olive clinging to her like a limpet. Olive's adoring gaze in p. 2 is stomach turning. This tyke has serious problems.
One of the Three Stooges was left out of the photo above Mary's shoulder in p. 2.
I don't care how Moneyed you are; free babysitting is too good to pass up.
Oh, Mary knows all about New York's hot spots. After all, Ken Kensington took her for a slice of raspberry pizza and a soft drink a couple of years ago. (Not to mention a spiffy institutional Christmas feast at Promise Haven.)
Evy has been HIGH AS A KITE for days now. Look at her wide eyes and rictus grin as she gestures wildly to the apartment and talks about 'hot spots'
Yesssss!!!! The Mariolatry has begun! Olive is looking very worshipful today. I really dig it!
Please let them take Mary to a "hot spot"! That would be so much fun! I would love to see the "dear lady" interacting with hipsters.
@Dawn Weston's Evil Twin at 12:04 p.m., the last time Mary interacted with hipsters was when that hip duo swiped her wallet at the Lemon Wedge (which is most certainly not a Hot Spot).
Dear Lord, I hope Ed and Evy don't have a tiff about which 'hot spot'. And Ed, PLEASE don't play the money card, or it will be back to a million-teen days of reconciliation, apartment-hiding, hot air ballon rides over mid-town Manhattan and fighting off muggers (shouldn't be too hard to come by in NYC). Anything but that!
That might be a winner for creepiest panel of the year. Both of them look at Mary with eyes that look like something from the X-files. I wouldn't sleep there one night. No, siree. A nice newspaper on a park bench would be much safer.
Olive's looking downright creepy lately. Redrum!
Muggers? Only if this strip is set in 1975.

KitKat: Mary won't have an opportunity to take her coat off (or relieve herself) because the parents are rushing her out the door to any of several TOURIST ATTRACTIONS, which are CONVENIENT! By the way, we are getting mixed messages from Joe about Ed. Sure he looks like Satan himself, but he's sporting a halo over his head in P2 today (Weds.)
Hmmm....Mary immediately wants to get Olive alone so they can "catch up". She hasn't even taken her coat off. Wouldn't most parents find this a bit disturbing? The creepo meter has peaked.
Wednesday
Mary (no spring chicken!) has flown cross country into a very large airport and then taken a cab to the Taylors' apartment. Shouldn't Evy and Ed ask her if she'd like to have a meal and relax rather than giving her the bum's rush to TOURIST ATTRACTIONS? Couple that with Olive's "Yes, Mary! LET'S GO!" and her creepy parents hovering in the background. Are Evy and Ed merely rude and/or clueless, or is something sinister in the works?
Maybe the snack will be at Jerry's Sandwich Shop East.
