Mary Worth 2310

Meanwhile, at the Slum of Art...

My father always says, "The easiest thing in the world is to be a cynic." I guess that's why I started this blog. I saw how many people seemed to criticize this strip, failing to appreciate how amazingly difficult it must be to tell a story two panels a day (seven on Sundays). Then when my local paper, the Washington Post, stopped printing it, I knew something had to be done. I think of this blog as my own version of the Santa Royale Museum of Art, a place to preserve a great masterpiece, epic in its scope, infinitesimal in its execution, so that it may be preserved and celebrated, if not in this generation, perhaps in my grandchildren's.

Today's full strip

I'm happy to see the "new" Dawn is so much more optimistic than the old one. Whereas she now says we live in a cruel world, she no longer feels it's brutal.

"People tend to criticize what they don't understand." I admit it. That pretty much sums up my response to Mary Worth.

I could've told you, Dawn, that
The world will merely yawn at
Those as pitiful as you

Who's playing the part of Halan in today's panel? I can't quite place the face. wait...could it be Edward James Olmos from his Miami Vice days?

Coming next, maybe: Harlan will "speak of the pompitous of love."

Harlan is such hoot! What a fun guy to spend time with. I'm sure romance is just around the corner for Dawn and him.

I apologize. My previous comment may have been a bit over the line of good taste. I'll rein it in.
