Mary Worth 1,196

Either the waitress has brought a new place mat to Emily to color while she waits for dessert, or she's playing with leftover chicken fingers that look like actual fingers... cooool.

Today's Full Strip

    How did Mary see the missing poster if it's missing?

    Really Mr. Giella? Could you not have fit the entire word "missing" into a bubble? Did you really have to split it to drive us crazy? "Miss- ing".

    Come ON!

    WV: ulaught

    Why, yes, WV - I did.

    I hope Bree stalls them by dropping the ice cream on Thuggy's head.

    Attention Emily (or whoever you are): That crayon you're holding must be defective.

    Every scene is like a photograph. Such a spot on rendition, they're almost portraits!

    That they change from frame to frame adds to the excitement!

    With all the distorted dimensions in the 2nd frame, it could be weeks before they find their way out of the diner. The police can take their time.

    Someone needs to teach Moy about narrative pacing. Remember how she had to interrupt last month's riveting storyline about Mary getting her wallet stolen to show the Kelk-fest that was her Thanksgiving meal, and then she and Toby got right back to discussing the perils of identity theft? (Or the even more disturbing abrupt shift of Mary making that 9/11 phone call, and smiling!)

    Well, today is December 23. Unless there is one gigantic strip tomorrow that shows the cops rushing in, resolving the case, and reuniting Emily with her parents just in time for Christmas, I fear we're in for another non sequitur of a Christmas feast chez Mary, and on December 26 we're back to watching McThuggy's beard grow as he slugs his beer, and Emily listlessly crayons.

    wv: ounker. Just sayin'.

    McThuggy doesn't realize whats going on?

    And Emily, why don't you just RUN AWAY? Some kidnap victim she is, just sitting there coloring. Can't she at least sneak off to the restroom and climb out the window?

    I'm getting nervous about the possibility of a Christmas miracle.

    We've been told that he is an 'older' man. We see his beard growing from panel to panel. His hair has changed from orange to brown. Can his hair and beard possibly change to white?

    Yup. That's what I'm thinking, too.

    Bad Santa.

    Emily's hair has grown, the variety of plant behind her has changed, Thuggy enlarges & grows more hirsute by the moment, cupboard doors disappear, barstools vanish... it's the Magical Mystery Diner.

    And when all of this is over, Mary will again leave without her sweater.

    Both Emily and her poster are missing. I see a conspiracy.

    Saturday: Why does the sign read simply "Diner," not "Good Eats Diner"? Hmm, maybe Mary is the only one who calls it "Good Eats" because kelk is one its specialties.

    I foresee a Christmas MW just like the Thanksgiving one, only with a Christmas tree in the background.

    Merry Christmas to all on MW & Me!
