Mary Worth 3550

The green clouds of California smog really add a lot of beauty.

You know, KM, if you'd just go back a few days and read your own strip, you might remember what the hell it was you were writing about.

It took only six seconds or so to read today's strip, and it was still a waste of time.

I see Max also speaks Woof.

Today's (Thoroughly Bored and Completely Checked Out) Boldface Haiku is titled

"Eve's Therapist Tries A Word Association Exercise".

Nice.
Favorite.
Max!
Woof!

Nance said...

Why has Eve's heretofore Golden Retriever/Labrador sized dog suddenly shrunken down to the size of a corgi or a beagle? Is it just me, or was that dog much larger before?

If this "plot" doesn't move along soon, I'm going to. I never thought I'd say this, but even the appearance of Wilbur Weston would be welcome at this point.

AAAcck! What have I done? "Speak of the devil and you talk him up."

r u ok? said...

Eve: I really like watching the squirrels
Saul: Squirrels are fascinating
Eve: I'm getting excited!
Saul: Let's go chase the squirrels!!!

I’m pretty sure this is the first time Max has spoken, and what is it but “Woof!”? Holy moly, he can’t even manage an “Arf”?

Nance, I agree regarding the incredible shrinking Max. He and Greta are resembling each other more and more with each passing day. Take a look at those snouts! Maybe June needs to draw some horses to refresh her creativity.

"It's not important" followed by a comment on the scenery, followed by no response from Saul. Apparently he didn't learn much from spending the summer with a grieving teenager. Why does KM continue to pitch these emotional plots to this clod? It's a wonder he can deal with Greta's feelings.

Saul: "Why do headless mannequins make you cry?"
Eva: "Because they'll never see a sunset...sob!"

Chester the Dog - I rarely laugh out loud. Thanks for the gift!

and speaking of the lady .maybe they should fly a kite talk about action that will get the readership up

this goes to one of my "favorite" things : The lush, endless Charterstone grounds
Do they have 600 acres & unlimited water?

sadly, Saul has replaced Wilbur as the Leading Actor in the Mary Worth saga.

WEDNESDAY

Who makes appetizers for no reason?

Duh, Mary apparently does.

What she going to eat them all herself?

Jeez, she must be bored.

But not as bored as we are.

If Mary made the appetizers from the salmon that Tommy gave her from Freda's, this strip will now become more more exciting as we watch Saul contract food poisoning.

LouiseF said...

I don't remember knowing that Mary Worth was born in January. This makes her either a Capricorn or an Aquarian. I can't really see her as an Aquarian. She's much more of a goat. Can't wait to see what Saul got her for her birthday!

KitKat said...

My birthday is January 7. I sure hope Mary’s isn’t.

Let’s all guess what Saul is giving Mary. I think it’s a framed photo of Greta.

Chester the Dog said...

The same salmon that killed his first dog? Yummmm!!!!

KitKat - Saul's present to Mary. Maybe a tire pressure gauge?

I miss the Grumpy Old Saul Wynters so much, I'm going to start posting re-writes of what I wish he would have said.

Kind Saul: It's one of my favorite spots. Looks like the dogs like it as well!
Old Saul: It's a lot better now since I organized a petition to remove the hobos sleeping on these benches! The dogs can still smell the urine though.

THURSDAY
Make up your mind, Saul. Either you and Eve get along great or you’re baffled by her unexplained crying episodes and failure to return your calls.

What Mary’s thinking: “It’s certainly not menopause. Eve Lourd is way too old to still be going through THAT.”

Tim S., I miss the cranky sourpuss Saul too [sigh].

Chester the Dog said...

Hey Saul, maybe she just does not like you!

LouiseF said...

Saul is so flummoxed by Eve's behavior that he has inflated it to "episodes" as opposed to ONE episode at the mall. Let's not exaggerate here, Saul. I know women confound you, but you will have Mary on a Super Meddle and calling up a hotline to report Eve if you give her the wrong impression.
