Welcome to 2020, Saul.

"Saul, the reason I'm calling is that I understand you have an unauthorized tenant occupying your unit. This is in clear violation of your lease agreement. Therefore, I am directing you to appear before the Charterstone Tribunal tomorrow evening at 7 p.m. for disposition of this matter. I suggest you bring legal counsel. Good day, sir."

-- Scottie McW.

If there was ever any indication that any of the characters in _MW_ have reached their wits' *beginning*, I seem to have missed it.

Actually her shoes are not ON the pillows; they, like her whole body, seem to magically suspended just above the couch and the pillows, making no impression on either as they would in a world where the laws of gravity applied. Maybe Madi is talking to June or Karen on the phone, because both of them are surely phoning it in.

Perfect Wanders, perfect! I can't wait for Mary to show up at Saul's with muffins and Madi throws them at the dog.

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled

"If You Read This In Jimmy Stewart's Voice, It's Like A Scene From It's A Wonderful Life!".

Please!
[RING! RING!]
Hi. Mary!
Oh, Mary!
Wit's end!

KitKat said...

Everyone, you’re at the top of the game today - hahahahaha.

I guess it didn’t occur to Saul that HE could have called Mary. “At wit’s end” might call for colossal muffins, or perhaps even a casserole. Vegetable terrine, possibly? I must say, seeing Greta wearia muffin hat after Madi let’s one loose would make for a fun Friday.

Let’s see Madi remove her boots and put her unwashed bare feet on those hideous pillows.

KitKat said...

Argh, autocorrect hijacked my comment with “wear a” and (egad!) “let’s” -- }%~£^#!?

I don't have kids, but it seems that maybe...talking to Madi might help? Yes, she's being a pain in the neck, but she's a kid whose grandmother (mother-figure) just died, and she gets to spend summer away from her friends with an old man she doesn't know. Her dad basically abandoned her to do who-knows-what in Venezuela, so she's a basically product of horrific parenting.

He (Saul) could make her summer tolerable by maybe finding a way for her to spend time with kids her own age.

If Nance's BFH evokes "It's a Wonderful Life", the "ring,ring" means an angel gets its wings, which could definitely be helpful in this situation. No need for Mary to intervene, especially since she's probably inviting Saul to a fireworks party for the Fourth.

Time for Mary to take Madi to the animal shelter and get her a dog. Madi will be completely transformed and then all will be well. Easy peasy.

KitKat said...

r u ok?, Mary can take Madi to Generic Animal Shelter. Something like an Irish wolfhound or St. Bernard would be just the ticket. Greta needs a canine friend, and Madi putting her booted feet on the furniture would the least of Saul’s concerns.

Downpuppy said...

Oh, yes! Get Madi a coyote. They love weiner dogs.

Garnet, quit being so intelligent and sensible. Have you ever known a character in this strip to do something logical or actually try to solve a problem sensibly? No, better to wait for Madi to incur hate by all and be pistol whipped by Toby. Then Mary will bat cleanup with muffins. Then they'll talk about what happened for two weeks. THAT'S a Mary Worth story!

With all the 4th fireworks cancelled this year, maybe MW can fill the void. For sure, at some point very soon, they'll be pyrotechnics with someone and our new friend, Makes-Me-Madi. I thought for sure it would be Saul, but it appears someone else is going to have to step forward and bring The Thunder for the 4th. I'm hoping it will be Mary, as in, "We've got this straight now, right Madi?! Capiche?!"

“I’m not sure how to quiet an unruly tween, but Saul — have you tried baking? Muffins, mysterious orange squares, whatever — just go to the oven, blow out the pilot light, and turn up the gas just as high as you can. Then go for a walk — I promise, when you return, your young person will have quieted down.”

meg said...

I’m sure baking is something Madi already likes very much.

FRIDAY
Mary’s smug expression screams “‘Come into my parlor,’ said the spider to the fly.” [shiver]

Leave Madi at a playground, Saul? Do you expect her to play jacks with some little friends?
