"Whoever you are—I have always depended on the kindness of strangers." Awesome. It's a Tennessee Williams potpourri. First we get Mary Worth thinking she's Blanche Dubois, and then an oblique reference to Laura Wingfield's blue roses - although, let's give credit where credit is due... the blue roses were purely the work of coloring artist, 5th grader Beatrice Chestnut.I want to give additional praise to the Cosmic Bubbles blog that has run a couple of recent Mary Worth cartoons through the anagram machine: Here and here. Hilarious!
Mary is killing flowers again!
ReplyDeleteYes, Toby, this is a chain reaction that could go on and on and on...
Now I reach out to others and choke them with my concern... just as I choke this flower.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see Mary reaching for roses, I think of Aldo.
ReplyDelete*sniff...sniff*
I miss him so much.
I imagine that in the next panel she pricks her finger on the biggest thorn ever.
ReplyDeleteAre those albino Blue Jays?
ReplyDeleteI cannot confidently identify at least three of the colors in that strip.
ReplyDeleteI got as far as "blurple" for the sweater and decided to quit while I was way, way behind.
Remembering how big a bag of dog food MW purchased for Chester, I'd be a little skittish of accepting her dinner invitation for "casserole" these days!
ReplyDeleteExcellent point about the dogfood, anon.
ReplyDeleteI also seem to recall that despite Mary's dedication to helping others she never stopped complaining about how heavy the bag was.
"Thank goodness Chester is dead - now I don't need to carry those heavy bags of food"
shandyowl: Chester isn't dead, he's been reunited with his rightful owner--Lucky Dog!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteCasserole, anyone?
