"There's no use trying to make sense of it." The first rule of all great writing.

PSA: Remember, today is free Slurpee day.

This is serious stuff. I shouldn't make any jokes about this kind of crime. But as Jess told her story, who among us did not think of this classic Mary Worth moment?

Estelle went from vague recognition in yesterday's strip to smooching on the bench. Her dementia explains a lot about this relationship.

She also pulled at your Rolex. Maybe that's why you dreamt she pulled your arms 20 feet long - you were trying not to lose your watch.

Ah, the dog days of summer. Just what we've waited for. We endured girl fights, profanity, bizarre dreams, and at last we've finally arrived: Meddling on a Bench! It's why we're here. It's what we live for. Please don't let it end too soon!

Congratulations to Helen Clark for finding Max even before the great tracker Greta! You were right: At the Blah Blah bench! You did it without even sniffing his leash. Deductive reasoning is a powerful tool. Or is it predictive reasoning?

Whew. I was worried that today's strip would just be about talking about doing something (see panel 1) instead of something actually happening. And then something happened! It looks like the next seven days we will get to hear all about Eve's feelings. Make yourself comfortable on that bench, Saul! You asked for it.

Yes, it is International Praise-the-Madonna-of-Charterstone Day.

Unexpected changes? Yes, please! The whole world is hoping for a change, but for those of us who follow Mary Worth, the monotony is especially acute.

Welcome to the friend zone, Jared.

So Jared uses the ol' kiss-me-before-we-die line. There's something about seeing other couples walk by while you sit on the Blah Blah Bench that just inspires love. Hugo is going to beat the crap out of Jared when he comes to visit.

Yikes! Chin Napkin and The Blah Blah Bench all in the same week! Hold the phone! This relationship is moving way too fast!

Of course money from Estelle! Who else would have covered his loss? His employer? His insurance company? Don't you know anything about overseas bureaucracy?

I keep thinking Myster Wynter is some sort of stage name for a professional wrestler. I definitely want to see him in a cage match with His Own Demons.

Tommy has never been in a relationship with a woman long enough for it to reach the abusive stage. Tommy and methamphetamine, however, have quite a lengthy history.

I'm home from vacation, and secret messages will return! Here are some pictures.

Over the weekend, we learned that Zak is now "working" because "a game" he "developed" is "taking off." Excuse me, but unless the game that this California business student developed is a ten-sided dice game called "MBA Fantasy," he isn't walking to work dressed in a suit, no matter how ill-fitting. (See this article on the Tech Uniform from Business Insider).

I didn't post over the weekend because we were too busy going to Halloween parties and such:

I find it quite appropriate that Iris and Zak have chosen as their "usual place" the most uncomfortable bench in town.

There's really only two ways this can end, Wilbur. You either successfully extract yourself from the Worthiverse and Iris never sees you again, or the Syndicate discovers your plot and you end up in the "Dip."

Be careful that you know what you're doing, Wilbur. Once you leave the Worthiverse, you can never go back. Also, there are fewer women in the real world who are inclined to date an overweight comic book character.

Well played, Wilbur. Well played. The first step in a successful Worthiverse extraction is to sever all emotional ties. It must be done in a such a way that former loves and family do not come looking for you for at least a year. This means they need to believe that they broke up with you. Well played, indeed.
