Mary Worth 1,531

As Mary and John congratulate themselves, chin napkin quietly radiates fumes of rage from the backside of the cake over their neglect. It is as if he was screaming, "Okay, now that I've helped you win all that cash, get this pink frosting off of me!"

    Wanders claims, "Sugar Mary is ready for John Dill's dashboard." I think they should varnish the monstrosity, install it somewhere on Charterstone's grounds, and plant flowers around it. After all, it reflects the beauty of nature so well.

    Come on John... what are you waiting for?? Move in closer, closer... grab Mary and kiss her like you never kissed Elinor!

    Could John Dill look any creepier than he does in today's panel one? And the toxic glow from Mothermarynaturebutterworth is disturbing, too. Just what did he sculpt that thing from.

    Fear not. Heroic Chin Napkin will sacrifice itself by rising up and smothering the radioactive thing before it poisons all of Santa Royale!

    I'm with @Thorpnotized at 8:08 AM - that cake topper should be varnished and put on permanent display at Santa Royale Museum of Creepy Oddities.

    I'm incensed that the only other cake we got to see was the sliding blue mess. How sad that Joe Giella's creativity was stifled! However, it looks like it's asserted itself in the design of blonde judge's amoeba sweater today.

    Thank heaven this has resolved. I've been on pins and needles for what seems like months over how John and Mary would do at the cake competition. Maybe I can finally get some sleep.

    I think it's heartwarming how happy John's two Confirmed Bachelor friends there in panel one are for him.

    And I'm buying the whole marriage-to-Eleanor thing less than ever. Much less.

    I call Foul. That judge in Panel One looks suspiciously similar to John Dill. I think it's his brother, Don Dill.

    The whole thing is rigged.

    Do Over!

    The unnatural finger pointing has always bothered me but, honestly, if anyone stuck a pointy digit this close in my face, I would have to deck them!

    The statue of Mother Nature/ Sugar Mary should be enshrined in a huge gothic shaped cake. Pilgrims from around the world would come to gaze upon this other worldly created figurine.
    Maybe they would even get to meet St. Mary or St. John who will enlighten them on the joys awaiting them in the Pink Cake in the Sky.

    It is so gratifying to see Chin Napkin get his due. It's early but I think this just may be his year at the Worthy Awards.

    At last! Wanders gives Chin Napkin its rightful place in Mary Worth and Me!

    Thank you, Wanders!

    @KitKat at 9:15 AM - I had hoped to see other cakes too. Even if team BlueCake hadn't dropped theirs, they would have been disqualified anyway, as their cake didn't meet the 3-foot high requirement.
    (My PYNAR number for this post is 12801. I'm waiting for the day it hits 24601.)

    I wonder if the next storyline will involve Mary helping Dawn rehearse for Santa Royale's Next Top Model? Or perhaps Bonnie Johnson has slid off one of her many wagons, and has returned to shopping and hoarding, so perhaps Mary can kill two birds with one stone, and have her go on Hoarders and Intervention? Or, perhaps now that she's settled down from her abduction, little Emily Smith has joined the kiddie pageant circuit, and Mary can manage her career, in her new reality show, Her Comes Emmy Boo Boo?

    Guys, don't you see what's going on here? For years we've been complaining that MW is old fashioned and out of touch, so now, Mary has jumped on the reality show bandwagon, just to be hip & cutting edge!

    Where are the TV cameras and throngs of reporters? Isn't this the biggest event of the year in Santa Royale? Won't there be a parade down Main Street honoring team Dillworth?

    And what's next Maude @ 12:46? Real Housewives of Charterstone? Ugh.

    I'm just so gratified that I now know how nature should be glorified.

    No way Giella is going to draw another cake for comparison.

    @Maude, could it possibly be that Mary will befriend a new Charterstone Condominium Complex resident who has a girlfriend on the internet who he never sees? Or maybe an aging star whose career ended because of a shocking 'wardrobe malfunction'? Whatever it is, I'm sure Chin Napkin will find a way to enliven the story and make us smile!

    P.S. LOL! My Recaptcha was "IckJoy"!

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.
