Mary Worth 1,673

Don't be an Aggie. Accept change. See things differently. I know I do. I see that Mary and Shannon have moved indoors. I also seem to be having some sort of strange, out-of-body experience, where I am looking down from above at their plates that suddenly have food-like images on them, while still feeling as if I'm face-to-face with Shannon and Mary. Sometimes all we need is a CHANGE OF PERSPECTIVE!

Wow. Uncle Joe's really outdone himself in the twisted perspective category... or maybe the table is attached to the wall so is slants down toward us (but then how does the food stay on the plates??!?!).

Between realism and surrealism is Joeism!

Is that a diner-style napkin dispenser in the center of the table? I thought this was a swanky place.

Yes, Shannon, look how far you've come! Conducting yoga classes and open talk sessions at a facility that looks like a low-rent Y! An apprenticeship with Yogi Pierre in New York City is waiting just around the corner.

Wait...how does Shannon know John Dill's wife?

I keep thinking of poor Dr. Jeff, sitting home alone, missing all this fun. But actually, I feel sorry for him for what he will have to endure as Mary recounts everything that happened on her trip.

This Aggie Anguish knows no bounds, apparently. But seriously, what the heck are those arcane objects on the table? Do the props from Diner make it to every damn restaurant in the world?

Shannon meticulously slices her peas with her knife. Meanwhile, Mary stirs her mashed potatoes in panel 1, and by panel 2 they cover her entire plate.

Ch-ch-changes. And speaking of change, time to get Mary into a new exciting adventure. Or new tepid adventure. Whatever.

Very funny secret message.

Chin Napkin will not be making an appearance due to irreconcilable creative differences.

Hold on, how is Aggie resistent to change? She lost her best friend for no reason, and all Shannon could say back then was "deal with it".

Vicki said...

Shannon never changes her tank tops, slices up peas with a knife, and refers to the guests as "characters". If that's considered coming a long way, I'd seriously question where she started from. I think I'm starting to pull for 'ol Aggie here.

I eat my peas with honey;
I've done it all my life.
It makes the peas taste funny,
But it keeps them on the knife.
