Mary Worth 2525

Gosh, people sure were hip during the Great Depression.

I want to thank everyone who participated in our Winter Fund Raising Campaign! Thanks to your generous support, we were able to surpass our goal of $47.38! It's still not too late to give by clicking the "Donate" button for the Santa Royale Rehabilitation Fund on the right side of this page.

What??? Mary was young in the 60's and 70's?? I think I recognize her from the Haight Ashbury during the Summer of Love. And "Jack"- the last time I saw him he called himself "Tex" and he was going to live in the desert with the Manson Family. Again, maybe I'm just having a flashback from that time I ate too many Kelk brownies at Woodstock. (goes off to stare in wonderment at her hands while enjoying all the colors, man)

Don't look at me, I missed the swinging sixties. Oh, I was there...I just missed them.

Jack lost everything in the dot-com bubble depression? How on earth will Moy retcon this?

Hey. I was a big fan of Bread. (The singing group. Still am--of the carbohydrate, mostly But not sourdough.)

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled "Okay, So...Where Is This Going? Or Does Mary Just Want Iris To Shut Up?"

Jack, married.
In love!
Yes. Little....


(I was in elementary school in the Sixties. But I did lots of swinging.)

I wonder if Mary and Jack posed for that picture or if someone just happened to capture the moment.

Very few people made it out of the '70s without looking ridiculous today in old photos. These two aren't among them.

But Mary was behind the times even then. She looks like Babs from Animal House.

Is that Mary in the photo to the right? Va Va Voom!

Boy, I had no idea that Jack sang in a barbershop quartet, or that Mary once had hair that out-oomphed Iris's hair. This is a strong candidate for the next Worthy Awards Panel of the Year.

"We didn't know then how little time we'd have together" - how ominous! I wonder if a terrible accident happened with Mary's Splak Fondue.

Wouldn't we all have loved to see Uncle Joe's depiction of Young Mary and Jack?

Check out today's Comics Curmudgeon. Josh has a link that allows Moy to explain Mary's purported age and net worth.

Mary's rockin' the hip huggers.

Marginally off-topic, but Netflix just announced an April 14 premier date for the Mystery Science Theatre 3000 reboot. Wanders, now your daughter won't have to ask anymore!
