Mary Worth 1,294

Wait. Bobby's a celebrity now? I thought he was a professional soccer player. Explain to me how he is a celebrity.

The only professional soccer star I can name is Beckham--oh, and the Brazilian player that shows up in crossword puzzles, Pele. But, hey, let's not burst Gina's bubble on her special day. If she wants to imagine papparazzi, fine.

My robot words are Bedle Empul. Say, isn't he a professional soccer celebrity?

The guy standing behind Mary is the mole. He's wearing one of those glasses/nose/mustache disguises. Well played, sir.

Gina said...

Maybe Bobby is the first soccer player asked to be on "Dancing with the Stars"? That'd explain the celebrity.

If Gina turns into "Posh Gina", I'll bang my head against the wall.

Bobby's a celebrity = Bobby's been booked on the next season of Dancing with the Stars.

Oh please, please, please... give us a week in reminding us about the only way you knew to be, and how you should have gotten married at age 9.

The ceremony's outside? Cue the asteroid!

Bobby's a celebrity, huh? In that case, his BFFs Jeter and A-Rod must be outside, waiting for the ceremony to begin.

I'm hoping that Team Manager Hamfist will stop the exchange of vows as he rants about "those lousy groupies" going after "his guys."

This is the best kept secret since Ari and Jackie got married on Skorpios. I certainly hope they have a exclusive picture deal with People. Is that Brangelina in the background?

If that wise-guy holding the drink isn't Enoch "Nucky" Thompson, I'll eat my hat, see?

It's not a party until coach Hammy McFist arrives!

heydave said...

Do we have a definitive reading on coach's name? Where's that guest list?

Really Gina? "You guys"? What about the women? (My wife hates it when we go out to eat, and the waiter/waitress refers to us as "you guys".)

Maybe someone (Mary?) will fall down that well during the ceremony. (GASP!)

Didn't get a chance to post yesterday, but in Friday's first panel I was wondering if the man at the far right, in the back, is Dan Smithers, still shaking his fist...

A celebrity kind of like the local weekend weatherman is a celebrity.

Punky@8:18- I think that guy looks and dresses just like Neville Chamberlain-no umbrella, though.

Phoebes in Santa Fe: Posh Spice would NEVER be seen in public wearing a ponytail!

Vicki said...

Better hurry up, the rental on that house runs out in fifteen minutes!

I love how Gina is practically running for the door in the second panel. She just can't wait to be Mrs. Money I mean Bobby Black.

Wow, they've already gotten to the vows in the Sunday strip! Bobby's already gone cross-eyed with love. Or he's mesmerized by Gina's ponytail.

This is an unheard-of pace for the Worthiverse! Must be that hectic New York lifestyle.

If Bobby's a celebrity, why was it so hard for Gina to find him in the first place?
