Mary Worth 3513

When I read today's strip, I just smiled so wide, clapped my hands and said, "Oh my gosh! I love this comic strip." It was a completely sincere and organic moment. Did anyone else have a similar burst of elation when you read this today? I can't explain it. Probably caffeine from my Crystal Light energy drink.

@Wanders--I LOL'd at your secret message SO loudly that both my cats disapproved mightily. As to your Sincere and Organic Moment, not so much, unless you count my Inadvertent Eye Roll and Involuntary Shaking Of The Head.

Onward.

Today's Boldface Haiku (accompanied by a big sigh) is titled

"Notes From Today's Zoom Meeting On Productivity".

Emails. Working.
Straight narrow.
Improving. Too hard!
Proud. Own...

Beautiful, Nance! Thanks for tying the fairyland that is the Worthiverse to the world the rest of us inhabit. And it is actually a refreshing moment to see characters in this strip move towards self-improvement instead of continually making doofus moves. If such productivity continues, they may not need Mary to provide advice at all!

Wanders, the only time I drank Crystal Light was when the pharmacist recommended that I add the lemonade flavor to the gallon of terrible colonoscopy prep stuff. She said the Crystal Light would make it “more palatable” - ha! That was the first and last time I consumed Crystal Light.

Bravo, Nance!

Tommy, if you want to keep improving yourself, learn better table manners. I quote my mother: “Elbows off the table! You weren’t born in a horse’s stable.”

LouiseF, that’s a good point about tipping our virtual hats to Worthiverse characters who are trying to improve. Regarding the usual doofus moves, I was thinking about who I’d rather see knock down Tommy’s display masterpiece of North Korean vodka/olive oil: clumsy Wilbur Weston or a tipsy Toby Cameron. Maybe they could collaborate.

Uh oh, Babe's been 'working on herself'. Is Tommy ready for the forbidding "It'not you, it's me" ?

Nance said...

@LouiseF; @KitKat--Thank you; however, this might be the only year I actually wish I lived in the Worthiverse.

They ordered fries instead of onion rings. Smart choice
