Mary Worth 1,682

Kitchen Remodel: It appears Mary's hanging cabinets have fallen from the wall and landed behind her concrete cookbook collection.

Also, Mary has a sandwich on a plate and a cutting board. Two sandwiches. Wilbur's instincts are still sharp.

It's a new story, and it's once again time for me to humbly ask the Citizens of Santa Royale to consider making a small donation to keep the lights on and kelk in the cupboard. Thank you for your participation here at Mary Worth and Me.

Wilbur, fresh off his termination notice for that Ask Wendy column after it lapsed, demands answers of Mary, including is she is done that sammich already and can he haz some?

p.s. I wonder how many floating heads Mary saw while making that past-due lunchmeat concoction.

I like how in Panel One, it appears that Mary is going to cut off her fingers, and in Panel Two, she has apparently succeeded since she has wrapped them in a dishtowel and is applying pressure under her arm.

Wanders, do you mean cookbooks made of concrete or books that explain how to cook concrete? Which reminds me of the Twilight Zone episode "To Serve Man."

I just noticed that phone call apparently startled Mary and caused her to accidently slice off a few fingers. Thus she has wrapped Chin Napkin around the bloody stubs in panel 2.

So Mary never lets her phone roll to voice mail? She probably completes every "survey" she gets called for too. Answering the phone: priority #1

What are the odds that in the Worthiverse telephones actually ring by going 'Ring! Ring!?'

Mary asks why the phone always rings at mealtime. Perhaps it is because someone is always calling you at mealtime (and my guess would be that Wilbur heard a ham sandwich being sliced somewhere).

Wilbur's Sandwich Radar is fully operational.

Mary is left handed? It looks like she's about to cut into her right hand. Maybe she's going to spread some cygourt (my PYNR verification) on that sandwich. Cygourt is yogurt Mary buys online. Goes great with kelk!

Dave in Parma said...

I thought cygourt was genetically engineered yogurt.

Oh, please, please, please let it be another Life is Brutal storyline.

Maybe Dawn is having problems with her one armed bandit?

Anonymous - I once attended a lecture at my workplace devoted to "understanding the kids today" and it explained that one of the attributes of the baby boomer generation is that they always answer the phone.

I assure you that Mary is not from the Baby Boom Generation. I am quite certain that she preceeds the G.I Generation.

@ Yahoonski: That's DOCTOR Chin Napkin to you!

Chin Napkin Groupie said...

Sorry but that is not Chin Napkin who has not yet returned from his cruise on the Queen Mary.

"What's that, Wilbur? What am I doing? Oh, same old same old, just mopping voluminous amounts of flop sweat out of my pits with a dishrag. Can I make you something to eat?"
