Mary Worth 1930

Mary has something in common with Hanna as well. Neither can pull into a parking space.

Why is Mary surprised to hear that Sean's wife is dead? Was she not paying attention about four months ago when Sean told BOTH Mary and Hanna at Somerset?

Methinks Mary needs to make a reservation at Somerset as well, given that she is deaf as well as parking impaired.

Nice parking!

I'm using Gene Wilder's line reading from Young Frankenstein
-hopping +parking

Hey. She doesn't want to get any door dings on her 2001 PT cruiser. You can't get that mauve paint anymore.

Actually that's not a PT Cruiser; it's an Old-Bat-Mobile.

"Maybe you can HELP EACH OTHER. That way I won't waste my valuable meddling time picking up your items or chauffeuring you around."

So Hanna thinks that all widows and widowers have had exactly the same experience?

@Yahoonski at 8:24 AM, good call!

When did Mary get this little car? Shouldn't she be driving a sensible and conservative 4-door sedan, like an Impalibu or a Camry?

I'm certain neither Moy, nor Giella see anything wrong with Mary's parking job.

I think this should be included in the Panel of the Year competition. Worst parking job ever along with the comment of having something in common - a traumatic loss of a spouse - great conversation for a first date.

I think Uncle Joe perfectly captured the parking skills of the centenarian set.

Uncle Joe has GOT to be messing with us. After all those terrible near-misses of the last few weeks, he gives us this epic parking job? I can't stop laughing when I look at that angle. Oh, Mary, you're just SO good at everything, aren't you?!

Also, is a candy-colored vehicle a requirement when you live at Charterstone? If memory serves right, Hanna’s car is a cheery yellow. Looks like someone’s having fun again with a new box of crayons!

Judging by similarly parked cars I've noticed all over town, I can only conclude that Mary has been running (and parking) rampant all over Akron, Ohio.

Of course Mary forgot that she is also a widow. Apparently, she's also forgotten that she's dating Dr. Whatshisname. When's the last time we saw him?

I Am Not A Robot said...

After seeing this stellar parking job by Mary, it is my deepest hope that someone in Charterstone steps out to confront her about her need to stop parking. The time has come to take Mary's keys away and send her to a home where the shuttles run frequently. She clearly is a menace.

On first glance at this panel, I really thought the cars were floating through outer space. Not much less absurd.

Next, Ian is going to be yelling that Mary MUST BE STOPPED! Waiting with gleeful anticipation.

I suppose we will find out either that Sean loves kids and wants to babysit Gordon, or that Sean has an adult daughter who wants to babysit Gordon. That should wrap this plot up nicely.
