Mary Worth 3008

"I just made a suggestion... that you come with me to buy tires. And then, once I had you trapped inside a moving vehicle, I drove you to the animal shelter. The trick was to keep my car moving fast enough that you couldn't jump out."

“Open to the idea”? The Mary Worth Meddler Spin Machine is in overdrive, with a side of false modesty to boot. This will likely grind on until the weekend.

Panel 1: Toby, that white mustache is not a good look for you.

To me, the saddest part of all of this is that, when she grows up, Toby will think this is an appropriate way to behave.

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled

"Potato, Potahto, Just Kiss The Ring And Move On Already".

Right. Thank you!
Oh, much.
Suggestion...open!
Didn't, good idea!


@TimP--LOL. I love how your snark slithered in and bit at the end.

Mary Mary needs a tire, Mary Mary pants on fire.

It's only Wednesday. This arc won't possible wrap up until Sunday! We have three more days of this mutual vainglory. It's like the Goofy Gophers from Looney Tunes: "You are most kind." "Oh, no, no, YOU are the kind one." "Why thank you." "Not at all. Shall we sally forth?" "Indubitably."

We’re approaching the holidays, and Mary hasn’t visited New York in a couple of years. Think of all the people who would not be delighted to see her: Shelley Cohen, Ken Kensington, John Dill, the Tee-Hee Taylors (and tummy-brain Olive). There’s a lot of overdue meddling to be done, and our advantage would include the absence of Beedies, Westons, and all the other overused Charterstone characters. Besides, poor Greta would be safe from lethal Thanksgiving salmon snacks (if not from ridiculous bow ties and a possibly malevolent Toby).

I for one want very much to see another story about Zak and Iris ripping out Wilbur's heart and making him eat it, even though that's kind of sadistic.

Doesn't Pony Tail Gina (former waitress) also live in New York?.. Seems to me it's about time for her to go through either a divorce crisis, or her soccer playing husband is about to be kidnapped by the Mob again...

I am in agreement about people we haven't checked with in a while. I think we should check in on Dr. Jeff's kids, Drew and Adrian. We have not seen Dr. Drew since 2014 when he weighed in on the Dr. Kapuht debacle and Adrian was last seen going to Bora Bora (I think...too lazy to look) in 2012. Adrian must have three kids by now. Drew is probably getting slapped because he's two timing women. KM, please take note. No Beedies and no Wilbur. That would be the best Christmas present ever, although Wilbur getting owned by Fabiana last year was the best present ever.

Nola Wolveson. It's been long enough that she's gone back to her nefarious ways. Even if she's become a nun, it's gotta be more interesting than this.

Saul, why do you and Greta wear matching polka-dot bow ties?

Because it would look tacky if they didn’t match.

Because windowpane check bow ties were my and Bella’s (sob) thing.

Because they conceal our wrinkly and furry necks, respectively.

Because we think it makes us look cute.

Because it symbolizes our deep love and respect for each other.

Because only young men and cats go tieless.

Because we would look ridiculous in regular neckties.

Because there’s no two-for-one special on unmatched sets at Marcy’s.

Because it sets a nice tone for the other residents of Charterstone to follow.

Because I lost an Election Day bet when Truman defeated Dewey.

Because when you look mah-velous, you feel mah-velous.

Thanks, Nance!

How about another appearance of drunken Jill Black? She and Toby would probably hit it off swimmingly.

@LouiseF at 10:20 a.m., yes, Gina and Bobby's nuptials were in NYC. A whole cascade of traumas have probably afflicted them since then, all of them engineered by the Chris Christie lookalike who was the team coach or GM (I can't remember which). Time for Mary to swoop in and meddle her head off.

Love the Truman/Dewey and the Chris Christie references!
