Mary Worth 332

Dear Dream Diary,

I dreamt I was married to that fat, pompous elderly grouch with the strange beard again. In the dream I was terribly intimidated by him. I didn't want him to think less of me, so I kept important information from him: Other people were spending our money; I like plaid; his ear hair disgusts me. But he discovered my secrets and exploded. I woke up in a cold sweat. At first, I was relieved to discover I was alone and my bed is too small to hold such a fat husband. Then I remembered: We sleep in separate beds! Oh, save me dream diary! Save me!

P.S. Tomorrow, I think I'll re-tile the kitchen.

Today's Full Strip.

  2. Actually, if Toby's dream actually happened it would at least liven up the platitude-fest, I mean storyline. It appears even Wanders found Saturday's ep far, far too boring to write about.

  3. Yes, Toby, this whole storyline has been like a horrible dream, hasn't it.

  4. Following exhausting and extensive exertion(try saying that five times fast), I have come to the conclusion that monkeyshine is right; this entire story has been nothing more than Toby's feverish dream.

    After all, think about it for a second...could there be a more uninteresting, unclimactic, and thus totally Mary-Worth-esque way to end a story?

    First, we see Toby going out with Mary Worth...then, she shops, buys gas, goes home, and buys a gift for her husband...then, she answers an "irgent" email...then, (insert several more boring events here)...and then, finally, she wakes up, to discover that that entire six-month story has been nothing but a dream. How exciting!

  5. Toby is at the gas station, the fumes the fumes....ten minutes later she wakes up and Ian booms "I'm off to Chicago"

    Meanwhile, Vera plans a trip to Canada...

  6. I feel cheated. We have been kept waiting for what feels like months for Ian to blow his stack wih Toby and then to have it happen as a dream instead of bone-crunching reality?

    Is this the queue for refunds?

  7. We all know Ian will actually be kindly accepting of his darling's quandary, don't we?

Don't be shy! I'd love to hear what you have to say about Mary Worth. Just keep it clean, that's all I ask. This is a FAMILY FRIENDLY blog. I don't want to moderate comments, but I will if I have to.
