Mary Worth 1,349

Bam? Did they say Bam? Because I have been worried about "Bam" all week! And now, on Friday the 13th, Bam! Bam?

Wilbur's excited because he thinks he heard "Ham!"

Today's Full Strip

Check out the stone-faced guy over Wilbur's right shoulder. Everyone else is looking in the direction of "BAM!" and he's glaring at purple face-touch lady. Why is he so mad at her?

"BAM!" reminds me of Dave.

So, Wilbur chooses swordfish, which is on the warning list for sustainability if caught in the Mediterranean. Maybe it was imported from Santa Royale!

La vita รจ brutale!

Purple face-touch lady is checking to see if she needs a shave before jumping into the lifeboat.

Of course, BAM! could merely connote the arrival of Emeril as guest chef del giorno. (Dawm:
"Emeril, you're guest chef of the day?")

When looking at the black-and-white version of today's strip in the Beacon Journal, I thought that Mary had suddenly joined the passengers. The color version in the Plain Dealer reassured me, though. Purple face-touch lady just looks exactly like Mary only with tan hair.

Dawn's surprise at Wilbur choosing the fish entree is only because the only fish available in Santa Royale is salmon, in the form of either mousse or squares.

(We are not disrespecting the victims of the Costa Concordia, we are disrespecting Karen Moy! Big Time!)

Background people are great today! Especially Beardy McOldperson, who seems to be growing out of Dawn's shoulder.

Third Panel: Dawn rests head glumly on hand, looks gloomily off into space. Another BAM!

Dawn: Dave loves the "Batman" TV series with Adam West. He has the complete set on DVD.

Shocked by the "BAM!," purple-garbed face-touch lady prepares to rip off her mask. The shock waves have caused Dawn's shoulder straps to contract.

I've never been on a cruise ship, but this dining room sure looks like a generic restaurant/party venue in Santa Royale. However, since the drapes are rose, not pink, this has to be somewhere off the Italian coast (which looked like a desert in yesterday's strip).

That's the least depressed Dawn's looked in months! Giorgio, you're BRILLIANT!

At least it wasn't "WHAM BAM!" That might really cause some reminiscence.

ARRGH!!! We saw this coming, didn't we? That mad monkey Moy, always with the finger on the pulse thing...

I'd wager that the True Followers of her "comic" may not have the long term memory retention to realize she's ONCE AGAIN exploiting human misery to prove a @!$&@ng point of hers.

Which is that Mary Worth is great and all knowing or some such tripe.

Maybe will get lucky and it'll be some off course Somali pirates attacking the ship. The BAM was their warning shot.

And why does an Italian cruise ship use the English word MENU?

The Unsinkable Wilbur Weston will save the day.

Sandi Ego said...

Meg, I immediately thought of Emeril, too. Let's kick this cruise up a notch!

kathyo said...

"Holy Titanic, Batman!"(didn't Giella draw the Batman comics?)

Thorpnotized said...

Wilbur's wardrobe is in serious need of a makeover... almost as badly as this plot!

kathyo said...

Is it just a coincidence that the pop-up ad next to today's MW&M blog entry is for Windstar Cruises?

If the ship's band goes on deck and plays "Nearer My God to Thee" I, I don't know what I'll do. I only know that it won't be pretty.

I'm just so happy that Ian and Mary could get on board in time to share this moment with them.

Maude Findlay said...

I'm waiting for some handsome blue haired guy in an orange jacket to swoop in to rescue Dawn. Wilbur won't be leaving the all-you-can-eat buffet till he starts seeing people floating by on doors.

Doesn't that woman in the second panel have a uncanny resemblance to Ma
ry Worth?!?

snappy tommy said...

Wow - Ronald Reagan, Mary Worth's Sister and Robert E Lee all on the same cruise ship. Even Apartment 3G can't beat this!

Dave in Parma said...

mmmmmm......hammmmmmm

"Captain Hazelwood to the main deck. Paging Captain Hazelwood.'

Anonymous said...

Oh, Apartment 3-G is even more ludicrous. The idiot Nina has been in labor for over two weeks, and refuses to go to the hospital, so Tommie the nurse is trying to turn the breech baby in their apartment with no monitoring equipment and no help.

Guess Tommie doesn't value her nursing license much, and Nina doesn't value her baby's life much.

Hey Wilbur, The Riddler called. Said he wants his jacket back. What color pants do you wear with those? Purple?
