Mary Worth 2666

Las Vegas oddsmakers are saying Dr. Ned Fletcher is the creep, and Jared will be the frog prince that rescues Dawn, but Atlantic City is saying that good looking men with money are always princes, and quirky oddballs like Jared are the creeps. Place your bets.

Whatever can Jared mean by that? Wait till he does drop by and finds that Mary is already there with a kelk casserole and Splak muffins. Which will be fine with Jared, because he will have brought his Trivial Pursuit game and a couple of Disney DVDs.

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled, "Sharing Is Caring".

Dorm, home?
Charterstone.
Dad, traveling...me!
Company...be there!

I bet on Dr. Ned winning the seduction battle with Jared - although it will end badly. It always does for Dawn.

What happened to Harlan and his new experiences/hobbies? Is Dawn no longer his hobby? Did he move to the black hole of NYC never to return?

I think Harlan is still in the picture. Dawn is playing the field.

Better, hotter plotline. Jared is using Dawn to get close to his real secret crush, Dr. Ned, who when he learns of it, passionately returns Jared's affections. Then they go on a cruise.

They are both creeps. Nothing but the best for Dawn. KM will make sure of it.

Oh fauxprof, you nailed it, especially the Disney DVDs. Jared reminds me of a boy I went to high school with. His nickname was Doobie. I have no idea what his real name was.

With his unnaturally big eyes and that mop on his head, Jared reminds me of one of those Wishnik Troll Dolls that were a fad way back when.

Maybe this plot will be like the Brady Bunch episode where Marcia has a crush on her dentist and she thinks he asked her on a date but he actually hired her to babysit. Marcia daydreamed about him and called herself "Mrs. Marcia Dentist". Mrs. Dawn Doctor, right? Speaking of Trivial Pursuit, I would win if all the questions were about The Brady Bunch.

Dawn gave Medical Assistant Jared some side-eye and brushoff attitude when he first approached her and asked about her. She still went to lunch with him and seemed more than willing to open up and share.

Now Medical Assistant Jared wants to hang out with Dawn outside of work. Will Dawn slap him across the face and then invite him over to watch Game of Thrones this Sunday?

Doesn't virtually everyone live at 'home?'

Time to queue up the Jackson 5 with "I'll Be There".

Wanders and all you others, you really knocked it out of the park today! This proves Worthiverse Law #1: The worse the plot, the better the MW & Me comments.

I have pegged both Dr. Ned and Jared as creeps. They're just different types of creeps.

In Sunday's strip, Jared was dazzled beyond belief that Dawn is a college student - wow!! I'm guessing Jared is a proud graduate of the Santa Royale School of Medical Assistantship and Carpet Cleaning. (Check out their six-week distance learning special program!)

Let's face it. Dawn is a trollop and a strumpet.

@Sandi Ego--Don't be too sure about claiming that trophy. I would give you a run for your money.

Pork chops and applesauce.

Jared's not just creepy, he's a cheap creep. Note he didn't tell Dawn that he'd be happy to take her out to dinner, just that he'd be happy to come by and see what she's got for leftovers in the fridge. Still, I'm putting my money on Jared and wondering if possibly Moy is as bored as the rest of us are with the Dawn stories. Maybe Moy will have them marry and they'll go off to live next to Adrian and the cop or wherever it is that Drew ended up, never to be seen again.

-hmm

Dawn fully understands the platonic relationship she has with the eclectic Professor Harlan Jones. Because all of her relationships fail (so far), she has never made whoopie and may need to start out with a guy like Jared if she really wants to have sex (even if the long term relationship doesn't work out). He won't beat her up or treat her rough, like Dr. Ned might. Knowing how superficial Dawn "Gossip Fodder" Weston is, she'll go for the handsome manly doctor over a punk who resembles Mole Man. Her Talibanized thought decapitation bubble had Doc Ned's handsome head in it, not Jared's. In fact just to show how little she cares about Jared, she's thought bubbling Dr. Ned while she's talking to Jared.

@Nance, oh that's a classic Peter Brady, lol.
