The seagulls continue to delouse and the sun goes supernova as Jenna takes the first bite out of Dr. Mike's face. Meanwhile...
...Uncle Joe continues to struggle with drawing reflections, but I give him full credit for
persistence. Joe, here's a little tip: The next time you look in the mirror, notice how if you raise your left hand in the air, in the mirror it looks like your reflection's right hand. It's often referred to as a "mirror image." But keep up the great work, and don't get discouraged. You are awesome.

Wanders,
ReplyDeleteA hearty thank-you for my laugh of the day. Your comments were perfect... and hilarious.
And exactly whose clawed paw is that on the back of Jenna's victim's head?
Yes, where is the arm that should be attached to the hand on his head? Why is Mary's reflection all cattywampus? What evil lurks around the corner (or, in this case, around three months' worth of corners) for the innocent Dr. Mike? Surely this is not a simple love-at-first-sight story as Moy would have us believe.
ReplyDeleteWait... Mary has long hair?
ReplyDeleteI think the colorist got the memo about the mix-up from the last time Mary was shown combing out her locks.
ReplyDeleteCogent observations as usual, but could the hand discrepancy between the mirror and Mary in her room be a reflection (argh) of how slowly time passes in this strip?
ReplyDeleteI'm more disturbed by the length of Mary's unbound tresses ... where does all that hair go when she has it up? Could time and matter (though not landscape, as you so brilliantly demonstrate) be so plastic in Santa Royale?
About Mary's hair done "up", I think Giella draws it well enough to imagine the length it would be once it's let down
ReplyDeleteBut "the hand"? Dunno, that could well join "the napkin" in this year's "favorite thing" contest at the end of the year. I really think both beat "hospital hi-fi" from last year...
A kiss on the cheek!!?? I think Dr. Mike is trying to decide which "team" he wants to play on! Jenna is gonna' be so p.o'd about this. She thought she'd found "Mr. Right" but once again, "love isn't for everyone".... Mother will surely be disappointed.
ReplyDeleteEven invertebrates kiss better than that!
ReplyDeleteWhere can I get a mirror like Mary's that will take 30 years off my face...that's awesome!
ReplyDeleteTrixietrudy:
ReplyDelete"Cattywampus"! I love it. Hadn't heard that in a while!
G:
You should have seen Mary's unfurled tresses last time. They were young and blonde!
The thing on the back of Dr. Mike's head is a HAND???!!! Whew. I thought it was folds of fat emerging through his hair!
ReplyDeleteMary seems to be watching on her TV the movie version of Mary Worth. She is played by Emmylou Harris. Music by Hospital HiFi.
ReplyDeleteComing soon to zzzz.tv.
That's not a mirror, it's a portrait. Mary's just trying to match the pose.
ReplyDeleteYuck, the most unattractive couple ever. Maybe they're right, love isn't meant for everyone...at least it stops the agonizingly dull from reproducing.
