Mary Worth 3481

I hope that Brandy learns her lesson from all of this. It's her fault if Tommy falls off the wagon.

Yes, Tommy, you’re a blankety-blank idiot. Hence, you are about to do something idiotic. We can only hope that, without physically harming anyone else, it will land you back in jail for a good long stretch. Brandy will visit for a bit, but Mary will platitude her into a better frame of mind. She will end up with a lucrative side gig selling Mary’s Muffins and Toby’s Banana Bread at craft fairs and harvest festivals. She’ll meet a genial pumpkin carver who actually calls her by her name, and will live happily ever after.

Tommy will get a Mohawk and a face tattoo in prison. The End.

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled

"Tommy Reviews Past Interactions".

Idiot!

Tommy needs to go speak with Dr Jeff. After all, Mary's been telling Jeff she's got a headache every night for the last 57 years.

TOMORROW: Play It Again, Tom

Suddenly Bogie appears in the passenger seat. "You gonna let her make a chump outta you? What kinda man are you? Sometime ya gotta cuff around a dame a little to let her know who's boss, see?"

MONDAY: Stir Crazy

"That's right, that's right, I'm bad."

Mary Worth once more proves that no little emoticon or pip-squeak emoji can ever possibly capture the adjectival emotion of “monetizing the question of your enthusiasm for money” the way good old-fashioned shift keys on your keyboard can.

Great comments, all, including a BFH title that made me laugh out loud, Nance.

I bet June enjoyed drawing today’s strip. Tommy changes from slovenly sad sack to ominous scary guy in seconds! Look at that furrowed brow and the shadow spreading across his left cheek! Next stop: either the dodgy part of town or Tommy’s sock drawer, where he has a hidden stash of something from his past.

Good thing there's also a jail cell that says "$!?$ IDIOT".

June really outdid herself with the shadowy glower today. Nice work.

At last, Tommy says something we can all agree with.

Great BFH as always, Nance, and loved the one about Ginsburg.

Tommy, if you really love Brandy, maybe don't try to harangue her into marrying you.

If by idiot you mean moron. Don't disappoint Tommy! Show everyone how fra-jee-lay you are by using self-inflicted disappointment to dive back in to self-destruction. If you need help, Wilbur and the ghost of Aldo stand ready to shove you over the edge.

From the haiku to the secret message and comments, it's a good day. For us, not Tommy.

It's not too early for a Panel of the Year nomination, right? I would hang this on a wall.

SUNDAY
Does Brandy live on the edge of skid row? Her home looked cozy and well kept. Today’s trash-strewn streets with jumbled garbage cans looks the place Richie got shot in that drive-by.

Tommy’s dealer “friend” tracks his customers with an app, which makes it super easy to find them fast!

So Tommy's been out of the slammer for what, several years? And he's still so famous that a shadowy figure picks him out immediately? Wonder if June will get to illustrate IV heroin... Tommy will be having more than sadness for breakfast.
