Mary Worth 2306

Everyone in Santa Royale is so excited about the Painting Exhibit coming to Downtown Museum. They've been anticipating it for months, ever since the Board of Directors announced that the Painting Exhibit's world tour would include Downtown Museum. There are many people in Santa Royale who love looking at Painting. And who better to enjoy it with than the substitute art history teacher who knows a lot about Painters and stuff?

Today's full strip

I heard there was a LOT of pushback from the "Statue Exhibit" people. Fortunately, wiser heads prevailed!

Nance said...

Is this an exhibit of Painting? Or an exhibit of PaintingS? Will there be a person Painting, or is there a Single Painting on display? Or are there several finished Paintings?

Hard to tell.

Also, why on earth would I bother to care?

This strip has hit a New Low in Boredom and Inappropriateness simultaneously. Only KM could bore us to death with a scandalous Student-Teacher affair.

The painting exhibit consists of a group of painters painting a wall in downtown Santa Royale. They will be painting over some fairly creative grafitti with flat white paint, and it will probably take several coats. There will be an evening wine and cheese reception dedicated to watching the paint dry.

My thoughts exactly, @fauxprof. The primary painter is Enzo Da Vinci, Harlan's neighbor and the Da Vinci Harlan keeps blabbering about. The cheesy part of the reception will be Ritz Crackers and Easy Cheese.

Dawn is displaying cleavage in p. 1. Does University of S.R. have an Office of Legal Affairs? Alarm bells should be clanging.

I hear the featured artist is the world renowned Sherwin Williams.

If the Downtown Museum is in a seedy part of Santa Royale, maybe they'll get mugged! Wouldn't it be great if Harlan used some of his athletic moves and apprehended the culprit, and the two of them fell in love? It's happened before! Harlan is, after all, a mere substitute professor, presumably with little to no influence on her course grade. He's probably an underemployed art history grad student who got summoned to teach his advisor's class while he attended the Leonardo Da Vinci conference Florence. So that would be okay, right?

Or maybe the story will plod along in the direction we all think it's going...

Ah the Downtown Museum... however in about 10 years time it will be renamed the Downton Museum, because that's about how long it will take for that Pop-culture reference to enter the mind of KM.

Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Elaine's beau refused to acknowledge that they were "dating."

"Who better to go with than my ART HISTORY professor?"...

How about someone remotely close to your age?
How about Hiking Club James?

Remember the last storyline - Mary touring the sites of NYC "teaching" Olive. Now we are going to see Harlan educate Dawn ala Mary on a tour of all the sites of Santa Royale starting with Downtown Museum. Next week will we see hot air ballooning? Amusement Park? Boardwalk with muggers? Cake decorating contest? Pool party? Bench sitting? Will Harlan take Dawn to the Bum Boat and run into Mary and Jeff there? So many things to see and do (again) in Santa Royale. Fun for us all.

Apparently Harlan works up a sweat going to yoga...I like the appearance of the Chin Towel, relative of the famouse Chin Napkin. Denizens of Santa Royale are always very aware of keeping their bodily secretions contained in the appropriate cloth. Next up: Ian Cameron mopping his brow while golfint with Golfing Brow Towel...

Yay! It's a date! I can't wait! I heard that the Painting Exhibition will be featuring none other than Santa Royale's very own version of Leonardo da Vinci ... Toby Cameron!!! YESSSSS!!!

Will they do parkour on the way to the Painting Exhibit at Downtown Museum?
