I hope lining up all those floating heads was as much a pleasure to do as it was to see. Wanders, you’re the real Winner.

Iris, I’m still waiting for my $10,000.

OMG Wanders, it was so hard to choose because there were so many good ones in each category. I was torn between Wilboor and Arthur/er. It's going to be a very close election. We should have had a panel of the decade. So many to choose from.

Thank you for my favorite end of year tradition. A great time to let everyone here know how much I appreciate their hilarious, clever comments. Wanders, you have created something wonderful and I am grateful :)

As Al Capone once said "Vote early and vote often."

The current story line has me so down but this reminded me of all the treasures Mary worth brings us

After the first 2, I thought "Gee, these are easy" but the competition tightened up.

I can't believe Mary Worth didn't go cheer up any animals in the pound this year.

Thanks, Wanders! This was quite a roundup.

The Worthy Awards make this my favorite time of year! But I think there should be a 'Best Boldface Haiku' category.

KitKat said...

Oh, some tough choices as I strolled down Mary Worth Lane. Wanders, thanks for another round of Worthy Awards, and for all you do throughout the year with this wonderful blog!

These Awards are truly our reward for sticking with the strip for another year. Thank you again Wanders for making it all possible. So many choices . . . but I was kind of surprised not to see Libby/Winky as a Guest Character choice.

Wanders, thanks for another year of belly laughs. Happy New Year to you and to all my friends in the Worthiverse! I have only one complaint about this year's Worthy Awards. Did you have to put "Friendly Fire Victim" at the top of the list? I eat my breakfast while reading MaryWorthandMe. When forced to look at that guy's creepy face every morning, I just about toss my toast!

I agree with toytuba! Libby should be in the running! And Terry Bryson is more than an inconsequential character, thank you very much!

Maybe Libby, like Candice Bergen, knew she'd sweep the categories she was entered in so she graciously refused the nominations in fairness to others.

What a fecund year!

Eshtelle shoving a roll down Wilbur's throat should have figured there somewhere.

Happy New Year all! My wish for 2020 is that we get a break from Mary’s purple cowl neck top, or her yellow disk earrings, preferably both!

Happy New Year, Wanders and all! Thanks for all the laughs, snark, and camaraderie - here’s to another year of it!

Tomorrow: Iris pushes Mary aside and tries to drown herself in the Charterstone pond, Mary runs to her apartment, changes into a nightgown, runs back to the pond, and attempts to dive in.

Truly an outstanding crop of nominees this year! Wilbur is pretty much the Meryl Streep of the worthies. May 2020 bring us all pool parties and amorphous blobs of starchy foods!

Thanks so much for all the work you do on this and the blog throughout the year. I can't believe how much has happened this year! Some tough choices had to be made when voting.
