Mary Worth 2535

I find today's strip a little ironic because clearly Karen Moy has been abandoned by June Brigman and is desperately cutting out old strips to paste her dialog onto. I'm just hoping that June is okay. Here's September 20th's strip, for those of you who like to reminisce:

Hey Wanders - you must have been in a rush this morning. Under the date - Mary Wort? 2535 - oops....

Wanders said...

Thanks. Fixed it.

Tommy needs less MA, more NA.

But notice how things are Looking Brighter!

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled ""Five Months Ago, Iris Pledged To Make Tommy 'Follow Through' With NA Meetings, But She Got A Life Instead".

Here...distracted.
Too, apologize.
Alone.
--N.A. If.

How is going to the next Not Applicable meeting going to help him?

I kinda like the sound of "Mary Wort."

June and Roy are vacationing this week - in Antarctica, with Wilbur. Bad (or sick)!

Today's strip is perhaps the most boring in the history of comics

Poor June is as bored as the rest of us. Look what Uncle Joe had to resort to to stay interested. Still miss him.

I agree with Chin Napkin Groupie. Giving people extra limbs, or at least extra digits, alleviates an artist's pain. June should follow Uncle Joe's example.

Dr. Leone: You can recover IF you accept the help you're offered. I know this to be true because it says it here in this big gray book that is on my desk in front of me. I have lots of big gray books, that's why people call me DOCTOR Leone.

Does this strip have a drug problem too?

Does Tommy wear a tee shirt every single day? Time to grow up, dude.

doug said...

I'm not in recovery, nor do I know anyone who is, but am I the only one who thinks it's weird that the doctor is allowing Iris to sit in on her adult son's appointment?

meg said...

It wouldn't be the Doctor allowing it; it would be the patient.

Play "Spot the Difference" and you will find that in the older panel, the top of the desk brags about its success rate, while in the current panel, the side of the desk encourages Tommy to attend the next NA meeting. That's a pretty versatile talking desk.

Jobless #drug-addicts and forever students getting #lame-advice and cutting into insurance companies' #profits. Sad!

I think KM is stealing the hidden message concept from Wanders: "NA meeting" = Narcoleptics Anonymous.

She does realize we're bored and falling asleep!

Even though June has been on this job for a year, it has become more and more obvious that she is relying on the copying machine or clone tool in Illustrator. You collected the proof.
