Oh, Mary would enter, except that two years ago, after her last creation sent five judges to the hospital, those darned organizers inserted a "no salmon" rule that more or less rules out all her recipes.
The burning question: is John Dill(inger)'s cake Worthy Award award-worthy? Next year, if Wanders includes a Bizarre/Grotesque Food category, that cake should certainly be in the running.
Gee, this reminds me of an old Andy Griffith episode when Aunt Bea enters the pie baking contest at the county fair. Everyone thinks she's a cinch to win with her prune and raisin tart, but then Gomer's Grammaw Pyle enters her rhubarb-mincemeat pie, and Ernest T. Bass enters a pie with bourbon filling and Barney gets drunk and Andy has to arrest him and then Floyd er, er, no, maybe none of this actually was on that show. Never mind.
Oh Jeez, Mare, nobody could possibly achieve greatness comparable to yours! Surely your abilities eclipse those of all other beings, particulary in the aesthetically disquieting foods preparations category.

Despite Mr. Giella's attempt to make it look like Mary and Toby are actually exercising, there's no way they can be exerting themselves while keeping up a conversation like this. Otherwise, we'd be reading "John Dill's [puff puff] holiday party [whew] cake really [ugh] impressed me [groan]."
Tsk tsk, Toby, it's a cake DESIGN contest, not a cake-making contest!
I think Mary, as his assistant, will pop out of his next cake. What other possible reason is there to make such a ginormous pink cake? What Mary really wanted to say was his cake was Worth-worthy.
Now that Mr. Trololo has passed away, I would look forward to a new Worthy Awards tradition of including a fabulous, award-worthy decorated cake by a certain former hotel manager.
Does Mary remember her children who would probably be in their 90's by now. Why don't they ever come to visit her? Have they banned her from visiting them?
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.

ReplyDeleteToby and Mary look like they're practising some dance moves.
ReplyDeleteDo you suppose this panel about being award-worthy will turn out to be worthy of winning a Worthy award?
ReplyDeleteThe burning question: is John Dill(inger)'s cake Worthy Award award-worthy? Next year, if Wanders includes a Bizarre/Grotesque Food category, that cake should certainly be in the running.
ReplyDeleteWow. And I thought things got boring when Mary sat down at Big Computer Screen. Whew.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone else notice how much Toby has aged in Panel Two? She looked pretty old. She was really channeling MW there.
That's right Mary, make a bigger, pinker, unicornier cake and put that John Dill back in his place.
ReplyDeleteMary and Toby make good exercise.

ReplyDeleteNever mind.

Now we have to deal with the disappearing and reappearing stripes on Toby's tracksuit...

How can anyone stretch out a cake decorating story for four months? Then again, we do have Master Moy on the job. Sorry, dumb question.
ReplyDeleteI am certain that the word verifications for this blog will be more entertaining than this story.
ReplyDeleteHow long will Mary go on with this full name nonsense?
ReplyDelete"John Dill" as opposed to "john" or even "Mr. Dill"?
What's next, Wilbur Sandwich Weston or Dawn Brutal Weston?
And hey, what's with the short person jokes, you burnout?
ReplyDeleteSrsly, talk about a runner's high, those two are baked in the second panel.
WV: such pu... indeed!

ReplyDeleteToby seems a little uncomfortable at Mary Worth's sudden fascination with her young, supple ribs.
