Mary Worth 3260

You've been shackin' up with Zak for two years, and now you're afraid of true love? What kind of person are you?

I want to thank everyone who has been bribing the judges this week! Michael B., Jana H., Kathryn R., Jim S., Richard J., Joan K., Ann C., Deborah H., Marilyn T., and Cheryl J.! I really had no idea there were so many people willing to buy an election. You are all wonderful and I am very grateful! I'm glad that you enjoy the blog, and for those of you who are not able to make donations, but who enjoy and participate in our discussion, thank you, too, for making this a special place. Here's to a totally dull and aggravating 2020!

Here we have a "conversation" between two people who are NOT listening to each other.

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled

"Love Is Muffins, Love Is Fruitcake; It Does Not Scare, It Does Not Use Common Sense".

Give up Zak!
Oh, Mary, what!
True love rare
Every effort.
Never scares!

WellIris, whatever you had before produced Tommy. The jury’s still out on that one.

Why does Mary think the Iris-Zak May-December romance is true love? Maybe it’s run its course, and Mary should quit meddling (ha!).

Remember some years back when Mary “dodged a bullet” after seeing her doctor? I recall Mary eating “a healthy salad” at Diner right after. Maybe she should share THAT with Iris instead of giving dopey love advice.

KitKat said...

Argh, make that “Well, Iris.” I didn’t intend to give her a new nickname....

Yeah, we segued pretty quickly into Meddling Lecture #432, perfectly illustrated by Nance's BFH. Mary is on familiar ground here. She seemed a little tentative a few days ago when she asked why Dr Insensitivo hadn't offered Iris a "solution" to her health problems. Maybe Mary realizes there aren't "solutions" to some health problems, just diagnoses and treatment. BO-RING... Give us some good, old fashioned neuroses, which the Worthiverse seems to have pumped into the water supply.

If you scrinch up your eyes you can see this panel, not with Iris in the forefront and Mary in the background, but as if they are at the same perspective making Iris' head twice the size of Mary's. Pretty funny...

Didn't Mary give up on love? Dr. Jeff I think finally gave up too (especially after the cat dander incident). Maybe Mary should convince Iris to "not give up on Zak" and just stick around with Zak for all the free stuff - rides in a cool car, living in a cool place, free dinners, tuition paid for, etc. Forget love, but hurry back to Zak's place before Wilbur moves in.

I love Mary's platitudes based on the Bible verse "Love is patient, love is kind". (BTW great BFH title, Nance, based on the same Mary principal!)

Iris looks practically insane in panel two. She should also say "Love is scary." I'm sick of these two. I'm ready for Wilbur and Estelle and their crazy love story again. (But only if Wilbur is as drunk as a skunk.)

I see Nance has started off the new year with a bang. Great BFH!

Kitkat, we can just change that to UnwellIris and it works perfectly. She does not look good. Why does no one suggest a second opinion? Why does no one in the the Worthiverse have two brain cells to rub together?

I'm sorry to see Wilbur trying to straighten up his act. Drunk, he's entertaining; sober, he's just annoying.

And the Worthy Awards are such a great way to start off the new year. Great contenders and great captions, Wanders. It was a tough decision for sure. I'm sorry I'm unable to bribe the judges at this time, but I wonder if flattery will work instead. If so, Wanders, you the handsomest, bravest, most intelligent, most debonair, and least-Wilboorish comics blogger there is. I bet you're good at karaoke. too.

KitKat said...

@lmjb1964, your flattery is major league, ha ha!

And, if Iris sought a second opinion, it would probably be from Dr. Jeff. Holy moly.
