Oh no - "I want us to take a SELFIE, Mary," - and Olive is so otherworldly SHE DOESN'T SHOW UP ON THE PHOTO! Please tell me this isn't what is going to happen! I can't take it! (I'm expecting an undercover investigation of Dr. Kapuht's illicit drug use or maybe some Flower Fairies at the very least. But probably they're just going to take boring pictures of themselves at a pool party.)
I don't know what Olive is looking at in the second panel, but it's sure not the camera. I hope it's the rogue squirrel who nearly beaned Mary with the tree limb many weeks ago. Olive is using her extraordinary powers to eliminate Mary and take over this strip.
What a lame attempt to give the impression that, despite all the robot-speak passed off as legitimate dialogue, Moy is up on contemporary human lingo with a word like "selfie".
Just to give you all a laugh, last week my husband asked if I knew what a selfie was. He had never heard the term before. I assured him I did indeed know what a selfie was and have for quite sometime. (He doesn't keep up with pop culture, can't say that I really blame him.)
I see no evidence that Olive's new camera has a flip screen that would allow her to frame her selfie. Details Moy, Details!SAnd someone please tell the poor girl she's in black and white mode. Can't wait to see the fairies in the background.
I have nothing to add to these great comments other than that my WV was camiocam...(maybe what Mary would call taking a picture of her cameo collection?)
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.
The way Olive's holding that camera should yield a nice shot of their necks.

ReplyDeleteHey Wanders, I know you didn't issue a challenge, but I decided to interpret it that way.

ReplyDeleteIt's a scene from "The Kim Kardashian Story- the Pre-Adoption Years."
ReplyDeleteMary has a vague "I have no idea what's going on" look in panel 2. Or her neck hurts. Either way, I think she learned a new word today.
ReplyDeleteWhat's a "selfie?" And where's the cool kid "hep" lingo coming from?
ReplyDeleteAnd get off my lawn, Olive!
