Kurt is clearly four or five years younger than Dawn. So why are we all okay with this?To our newer readers, welcome! Don't forget to read your FREE Secret Message. Just hold your cursor over each image.
And I have some sad news for you. According to Edward F. Maroney at the Barnstable Patriot, the Cape Cod Times has cut Mary Worth and five other strips. I can understand jettisoning "The Lockhorns," but Mary Worth? Don't we value good old fashioned meddling anymore? I admit, this current story has gotten a bit risque and sickening, but in general, Mary Worth inspires us to be better people. And it is the funniest strip in the paper.
Today's full strip
Giella gets an "A" in body language. Did we even NEED a caption, Ms. Moy?
ReplyDeleteShouldn't Kurt be around 40? Based on the hippy-chickedness of his mom, he should have been conceived in 1969.
ReplyDeleteAha! Finally, we're all doing the math that Ms Moy wasn't able to do or thought her readers were to stupid to do.
ReplyDeleteYes, as Giella draws him, Kurt does seem younger than the 40 year old he should be.
Now don't let the "hippie chick" thing fool you into being too rigid with their timelines. There are plenty of young hippie chicks and dudes living in my town... still.
ReplyDeleteAs for Wilbur's deterioration into the mayonnaise guzzling combover, that one may have taken a while.
holy moly, shouldn't someone be calling 911 for Dawn? The poor girl looks like she's having a stroke!
ReplyDeleteOh wait, it's Friday. I hear Mountview Hospital's recent budget cuts have necessitated elimination of Friday ambulance runs. Never mind.
Fall on Your Knees, Kurt - Duckduckgoose
ReplyDeleteOh, holy bite! The lures were brightly shining.
He'll fish again with her blonde child, Kurt.
Long lay the man, his chin, his hair, his whining.
'Till joy appeared, dressed in duffle and tee shirt.
The thrill of hope, The weary man rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! In you, he sees your mother!
O bi-ite divine, O cast out, you are reborn.
O bite divine, O bite, O bite divine.
Why is Dawn's arm horribly deformed. all of a sudden? Kurt had better hope it's not some freakish inherited condition.
ReplyDeleteWilbur is almost sixty? How old is Dawn? 18? 32? both?
ReplyDeletePerhaps the same space/time tidal forces that cause room layouts to jump around and clothing to suddenly change in mid-sentence, is also responsible for the anomalous aging situation?
We need an expert. Who do we call?
Happy to help!
ReplyDeleteAs science now knows, all activity in Santa Royale follows the same mathematical formula:
deltaMw=m(xyz+t)
where xyz represents 3 dimensional space, t equals time, and deltaMw is for changes in Mary Worth's mood.
m, of course, is for 'meddling', which we currently understand to be the 'fifth fundamental force' that overrides the other four (weak, strong, electromagnetic and gravitic).
In layman's terms, time and space in Santa Royale change to suit the ever-shifting meddling needs of Mary Worth. QED.
That's right. Dawn should be much younger than Kurt in logical chronology, but that doesn't seem to be so. ??
ReplyDeleteOK, I put on my sleuthing hat and found that on 7-11-2007, Wilbur said to Dawn "You may be only twenty, Dawn,but you are wiser than your years!" which would make Dawn approximately 22.5, assuming, of course, that Mary Worth time is anywhere close to real world time. I still think Kurt should be about 40, because I am 48 and based on Wilbur's looks, I would put him at 5-10 years older than me so Kurt should be 35-40. I also have a college age kid who is "studying science", like Dawn, although his version of "studying science" has a lot more beer drinking than Dawn's seems to have.
ReplyDeleteWell done duckduckgoose, well done!!!
ReplyDeleteVicki: hahahhah!
ReplyDeleteOr did Dawn just eat the last is the salmon squares left in the freezer?
So many hilarious comments today. You've made this story even more enjoyable for me.
ReplyDeleteThank you all!
you go liz...that is all well and good but I think the story developing here is that it is Dawn who is adopted and Kurt is the actual offspring. Don't you see? Kurt loves fishing, Wilbur loves fishing but Dawn, from a foreign gene pool does NOT like fishing. It is SO obvious. And to top it off my word verification is Fishing!
ReplyDeleteRisqué and sickeningly awesome.
ReplyDelete@anonymous and chartersone physicist: for crying out loud, just call the Ghostbusters. i'm pretty sure they could deal with "the fifth fundamental force."
ReplyDeleteVicki: Mountview has been closed, due to lack of skilled doctors.
ReplyDeleteWhere's my poem? Didn't I post one here?
