Mary Worth 1825

The Pool Party Potluck Competition has a stringent set of rules established by the Condo Board.

Competitors must be a resident of Charterstone Condominiums or be dating a doctor.

If an entry is determined to be a Big Hit, the contestant may bring the exact same item the following year. Two consecutive Big Hits is a Win.

Entries are judged on appearance, texture, and color. If any of these three categories are deemed to be appealing, the entry is disqualified.

The winner of the Appetizer Best Representing the "Beauty of Nature" category is.......

Did she deep fry those chicken salad appetizers? Because I'm otherwise having a hard time determining how she got them to look like that.

I think the next time I'm at KFC, I'll order Chicken Salad Appetizers, and when the counter person looks puzzled, I'll point to a picture of nuggets and say, "Isn't that what those are called?"

I wish we all lived near each other. We could each make one of these and have a taste-off in my backyard!

By the way, the Tommy Beedie storyline is officially over. A Charterstone Pool Party is always the sign of a new storyline.

RE: the appetizers. I thought they were Circus Peanuts.

Dig it!

Is that Iris trying to grope Wilbur in the background while he can't stop stuffing his face for even a moment? Or is she just trying to pry some chicken salad appetizers away from him?

NonnyMus said...

That isn't lovey-dovey! That's Iris trying to keep Wilbur from overeating!

(She finally realized he's morbidly obese because he's a compulsive overeater)!

A pool party! With prize-winning appetizers! This is our reward for suffering through weeks of sulking Tommy Beedie, whose story has abruptly been replaced by a parentless tyke poolside. Somewhat of a rude transition, but nothing trumps a pool party. Unless it's a small child with a bad haircut. . .

Beware, little Olive. (Olive?!?). Let us tell you what happened to Chester the Dog after Mary lost interest in him.

Silly Iris, do not get in between a fork- wielding Wilbur and his food!

And remember kids: soylent green is people!

Does this pool party have a 1950s theme? Mary's outfit looks just like what my (much older) sister wore in high school in 1957.

"Yes, they'll be here soon. Right after they finish arguing about coming to this pool party."

I'm loving this pool party "action"!!!

By the way, I can't believe that Mary didn't say, "My name is Mrs. Worth." What is the world coming to?

Pass me some chicken salad appetizers, please! I hear they're a big hit!

Little Olive can't be a resident of Charterstone because children and pets are not allowed.

TeacherPatti said...

It would be awesome if Olive was a zombie. And in the next strip, we see her zombie parents shuffling into the pool party.

Muscato said...

Okay - I'm lost. Who's Anna?

And is it just me, or does it look as if L'il Olive there might have a brother called Dondi?

We can only pray that she steers clear of that hellhole, Goleta.
