OMG. If Dawn and Jim marry, let's just hope they never have offspring. People as dopey as they should be prevented from reproducing.
Joe Giella must be recycling drawings of men from his circa 1950 sketches. Jim bears absolutely no resemblance to any adult male in the United States today.
@ KitKat - Jim changes every day. I can't figure out how old or beefy he is. Maybe a 30-something Tab Hunter? Then again, in today's second panel, he could be Rolfe, Liesl's boyfriend in Sound of Music.
Oh boy. This comic strip's "plot" is as schizo as Jim appears to be.
Jim: It's just with me...it's visible.
Didn't he just say previously that he has "a lot going on that the doctors can't see"?
Dawn suddenly jumps into a two-month timewarp; her lunch keeps morphing; Jim's pseudo-disability is physical/psychological and may or may not involve half an arm; no one knows if Mary is still Dear Wendy; Mountainview Hospital is an equal opportunity employer; the Italian Cruise Incident/Tragedy/Disaster/Accident is now simply a vehicle for Dawn to relate to some Aryan dude; and M&G are very anti-boat, despite the name of Mary and Dr. Jeff's fave hangout.
Don't be shy! I'd love to hear what you have to say about Mary Worth. Just keep it clean, that's all I ask. This is a FAMILY FRIENDLY blog. I don't want to moderate comments, but I will if I have to.
Oh dear, Dawn's upper plate is slipping. She needs to borrow some of Mary's Fixodent.
ReplyDeleteIn panel two, Jim whips his head around to find that the phantom arm has evaporated again! Darn, don't you just hate it when that happens?
JIm and his invisible arm pledge allegiance to our new green-suited, blue-haired overlords.
ReplyDeleteThorp: many thanks for keeping up the Sandwich Watch. Here's my Valuable Lesson from Mary Worth this week: never get on a boat.
This dude makes manic depressive types look like real slackers with his mood changes!
ReplyDelete"Oh yeah? Well, I'm sorry about your face!"
ReplyDeleteDawn goes back to the couch.
(Alternate dialog for panel 1)
ReplyDeleteDawn: "I'M SORRY ABOUT YOUR ARM!"
Jim: "DON'T BE! I STILL HAVE THIS ONE!"
No sign of any sandwiches today...

Hey Mr. Wanders..you should consider a "Person of Color" tag.
ReplyDeleteCan Moy write a cliffhanger or what?

Wow.
I will do my best
ReplyDeleteto do my duty
to my country
and to obey the Scout Law
.....
Does Dawn get extra credit for talking to a one-armed man?
ReplyDeleteThere once was a man who was harmed,
ReplyDeleteWho really didn't give a darn,
But after lunch with our Dawn,
he ws much less withdrawn,
I guess you could say he was disarmed.
Dawn's hair looks like a helmet.
ReplyDeleteJim looks pretty Aryan to me...lucky he was distracted by his missing arm before his arm could go any higher!
