Mary Worth 2319

So, I guess this is the story about how mean and cruel it is to gossip, and how unfair it is that spending all of your social and academic time with your ruggedly handsome professor at museums, restaurants and on his living room floor, can lead to such unjustified rumor and speculation.

I'm pleased to see the driver is wearing his seatbelt, unlike his flighty blonde passenger who is going to run into trouble if they encounter an accident. Fortunately the car will be fine, as SantaRoyMotorCars have fitted this model with the optional windscreen bracing unit, so that of there is unexpected pressure from the exterior of the windshield everything will be A-Ok.

The story may be about how young, inexperienced amateurs should leave the judging of others to meddling professionals like Mary.

Their poses in the first panel remind of those former agents....the guy with the cane and the woman with the pony tail, who went around pummeling crooks and ne'er do wells in their spare time.

"I didn't know they were a couple!"
"Neither did I!"
Well, neither do Harlan or Dawn.

Start exercising early? Isn't Dawn about 40 years old by now? And is that Steve Roper or Mike Nomad in the backseat? Or maybe Winnie Winkle's son?

There is absolutely no continuity in how Harlan looks.

Today Harlan is played by Mike Piazza.

Regards,
Steve

I guess things, as they are wont to do, have changed since my day because I'm pretty sure when I was a college student I never would've referred to a professor by his or her full name. I think the most informal it ever got was we called one 'zany' chemistry professor 'Dr. Z' rather than Professor Zimmerman.

When did the yoga sessions change into running? Will we see Harlan and Dawn rappelling up a cliff tomorrow?

I hope Wilbur and Iris drive up from the other direction.

Sheesh!

Perhaps Harlan is trying to run away from Dawn. He hasn't had a moment's peace since they started not dating and didn't become a couple. When you're taking a break from dating maybe it works better when you do it alone.

What's the matter with all of you? Can't you see that it's perfectly normal and innocent for a professor and his teenage student to do lunch, do yoga on his living room carpet, jog, attend museums, etc. together? Who in their right mind would think they are a couple? Shame on those idle, evil minded, gossipers. For those of you in Pittsburg, that's an example of sarcasm.

Every week we see at least three or four pointing fingers - usually waving about two inches from the other person's nose. Well, today we have a situation where a pointing finger might actually be called for and what do we get? The blonde Barbie doll in the front seat with her fixed plastic hand waiting for someone to place into it, a teensy plastic handbag. Ahhh.... thank you, Uncle Joe!

Nice shorts, Dawn...

Speaking of hands, Wanders, to whom does the hand between this non-couple in panel 1 belong to?

"TAG! - You're it, Harlan!!" Sheesh, I hope they're not playing "Freeze Tag". If so, Harlan is about to be run over by a carload of mannequins.
