Mary Worth 1,654

Huh. It looks like years of stretching and yoga have not prepared Shannon for the emotional fallout that comes with leading an illegal therapy group without a license.

  3. Why did they even let Pat into the spa/resort/rehab? I would have thought the laser beams from the head thing to be real off-putting.

    But gotta love the frustrated government worker, folded arms and all, wondering why the group ever stopped listening to HIM!

  4. This is the worst. Pretty much a panel by panel, word for word recap of Sunday. And for what? Does this even qualify as "A Story"?

    WHAT IS HAPPENING? WHERE CAN THIS EVEN GO? AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  5. How did Shannon manage such a quick costume change from the first panel to the second?

    That Pax Spa is magical!

  6. As you can probably tell from my post last Friday that summarized last week's artwork inconsistencies, I'm not interested in this boring plot. And today, I have to wonder what point Moy is trying to emphasize by repeating yesterday's last two panels. The only thing I've found interesting lately was the blond in the final panel Sunday, who seems fascinated by the back of Shannon's head.

  7. @Anonymous at 10:33 - Shannon used to be a magician's assistant. She's good at the old quick-o change-o.

  8. @ Thorpnotized:

    The blond woman is either getting ready to bolt from the room, or she's wondering where she can get a babushka like Shannon's.

  9. Who ever thought that Gil Thorp would become more interesting than Mary Worth?

    I think we may have a clue as to why Pat, errrAggie, lost her BFF.

  11. Did they just reprint yesterday's final panel?! I know what I'd complain about, er share, if I were in the yell and mope circle.

    I like how Mary's head is recoiling from the shout spray.

  12. @Laura Canon: Andy Capp makes more sense than this.

  13. All we need is an angry, drunk Jill Black in the sharing circle and we would all have a good time.

  14. It's the talk group so nice they said it twice!

    Following Shannon's advice from Sunday's strip, she and Agitated Aggie review their past interaction by immediately re-enacting it for the Sharing Circle. Predictably things go exactly the same, tomorrow Shannon & Aggie (Shaggie?) will in turn review *this* interaction for a possible cause, sending MW spiraling into a veritable Groundhog Day of meddling and recriminations.

    Not an ant in sight, as stick insects swarm the avocado walls! Apocalypse!

  15. Is the Widow June in this group therapy session? I'd love to hear her say:

    "I lost my best friend of 10 years too. We used to talk every day and now... all I get is him being dead."

  16. @Nance: I totally agree. What are they doing repeating everything? Does this strip think that it's Apartment 3-G?

    (Even though Agitated Aggie is pretty awesome!) By the way, where's Nola Wolvenson? She should be sharing! She was the best EVER.

  17. I have a strange feeling of deja vu.

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.
