Mary Worth 754

Thankfully, Mary Worth is always available to tell you when you have gotten into a bad living situation without realizing it. Speaking of getting into a bad situation without realizing it, did Mary realize her large intestine would be so overcooked?

Jeff: "Waiter, I'll have three salmon squares with a side of cheese puffs and the chef's best cat vomit. And a martini for my lady friend. Did you know, I won the Master's Tournament in 1978?"

It's just another typical night out in Santa Royale.

Today's Full Strip

Who knew Jeff was such a golfer? Hopefully that storyline will come next.

The martini, however, is clearly for him, seeing as how he has no drink, and seeing as how he has to make it through dinner listening to Mary Worth prattle on about how wonderful she is.

It really shows how bad the economy has become, when a successful filmmaker like John Waters has to wait tables on the side for extra cash.

Wait, what?

"Your offer to help her must in itself be a tremendous aid to her." Who constructs sentences like that? I'm convinced Moy never has human interactions in her daily life.

Yesterday I wrote that Mary is psychotic. I think she getting worse everyday and is now combining psychotic-ness with a saviour's complex.

And I think Robert@11.58a is right about Karen Moy. She must live in an all-beige world, consisting of all-beige people.

@Robert and Phoebes: And hamsters. I picture Moy talking to pet hamsters there in her beige world!

Today's strip is so sickeningly sweet, it is truly revolting.

@Maude: Well, as Snooty Waiters mentioned--unlike the common man, at least J. Waters isn't having to obey the law of gravity in his waiter stint. I mean, check out that tray and beverage! (Don't try this at home,kids!)

In the first panel, Jeff has moved the candle to the foreground through some kind of magic karate chop motion with his left hand. Meanwhile, John Waters is trimming Jeff’s eyebrow with the martini tray. In the second panel, as Jeff prepares to give Mary a round of applause for the tremendous aid her offer to help in itself has given, a pink fish floats towards Jeff’s head and prepares to drill itself into his brain.

This strip resembles Dan Piraro’s “Bizarro” more and more every day.

Mary's hair: short with a tight nape, or a poorly drawn up-do on extremely thin hair? I have never been able to figure it out.

Come to think of it, John Waters hasn't found a decent replacement for his favorite leading lady, the late, great Divine...until now! Bonnie's void could be easily filled, as a movie star! John wouldn't have to wear that tragic toupee and sling salmon squares for cash, anymore! Bonnie's bizarre gender/size fluctuations would actually work in her favor, instead of against her!

Maud,

I think you're on to something. But I see one big problem. Divine was so much more attractive than B?BJ?

In the interest of a better planet, Mary has decided to forego her napkin as well as silverware. There is often want, but not often need. Besides, her scarf seems to serve nicely as a napkin.

Move it, Waiter McSnooty, Hospital hifi is at table six, and wants his food...pronto!

Robert said...

Check out Mary's hand gesture in Saturday's strip. Did she pick up some cool shopping moves from Bonnie, or is this something she saw during that raid on Santa Roymart's warehouses from criminal elements and is trying to bust a move to impress Jeff?

And Napkin makes another surprise guest appearance! Bravo! Napkin is truly "worthy" of a Worthy Awards nomination this year!
