Mary Worth 3911

First of all, Ian, you don't "Try Out," you Audition. Secondly, you're going to need to learn the actor's spelling: Theatre, not theater. Thirdly, I want to see you do Shakespeare soooo badly, so, YES please audition for the theatre. And if it is a devoted husband role you want, you'd make a wonderfully racist Othello.

In p. 1, Toby’s mouth is so uncommon, that doesn’t even look like Toby.

Hey Ian, what role(s) have you played with Helen Moss?

Wanders, Cal would be a perfect clueless Cassio.

Is there a Worthy Awards category for most boring (predictable; disappointing; whatever) end to a story?

It would have been much more exciting to see Helen sitting on a bus, staring out the window with a tear running down her face.

Or better yet, Cal lying on the floor at Kara's Cafe, choking on a "to die for" French fry while Maddie Googles "Heimlich Maneuver".

HelenClarK: Would that be the same bus Ashlee left town on?

For some reason, KM seems to think Ian hanging on to this "maybe I'm an actor" bit is either funny or some sort of passive aggressive dig at Toby. Enough already. I wonder what Kara and Cal are eating besides French fries.

Yahoonski: If KM had any sense of humor at all, she would have had June draw Helen sitting down next to Ashlee (still on the bus) who would offer to share with Helen, her box of tissues.

Some light flirting from a student and a menopausal stalker adds up to some pretty light stakes for this storyline. That said, today's strip is actually kind of sweet. Oh well, on to Wilbur's pizza, alcohol and domestic violence addiction story!

Lots of unusual mouths and fake insincere grins all around today. I think June is having a field day illustrating Ian and Toby’s banal alienation from each other as the hidden plot behind the plotlessness. If only Karen would allow her to add wistful thought bubbles of Helen and Cal.

Ian's thumb is longer than his fingers.
