Leave it to the incomparable Karen Moy to explore the complex emotional and physiological consequences that befall two grieving seniors recently bereaved of their lifelong companions when they become giddily infatuated with one another. One consequence? Incredibly flexible wrists for someone too old to drive.
How daring of Moy to have dear Hanna contemplating whether she has a date or not while gazing into her bedroom, replete with mirror and cannonball bed. Very 1945!

ReplyDeleteThat's not a cannon ball, Smooth. That's a bronze memento of the late Mr. Dingdon. Good luck meeting that standard, Sean.
ReplyDeleteHanna's setting the charm bar awfully low. The "meal" is a mean tuna sandwich, not a five-course dinner at a toney restaurant (and I don't mean the Bum Boat). Just wait until Charming Sean pulls a Mr. Magoo in the Charterstone parking lot and runs over Wilbur.
ReplyDeleteOh, Anonymous! I would not have gone there. You made me look again at Panel Two. There are tissues and odd shaped objects on the dresser, leading to lots of unsavory ideas about their Date-Not-Date.
ReplyDeletePlease remove those images from my head!
I bet Hanna Dingdon really misses her husband Rama Lama Dingdon.
ReplyDeleteShaboom! Shaboom!
SUNDAY
ReplyDelete"Oh, that Sean Hastings! He's so DREAMY! I wonder if he'll ask me to the prom."
I can't wait to see what kind of emotional baggage Mr. Hastings brings to the table. As ludicrous as Moy's imagination is, who wants to bet that he has an unmarried son with a child that the son has been pawning off on dear old grandad. Sean Jr. and Amy meet, fall in love and voila! Two new happy families. And Mary takes the bow for making it all possible. :-(
Mary Worth WOULD quote Nicholas Sparks. Barf!
ReplyDeleteWho wears hiking boots to take a walk?
ReplyDeleteKaren Moy always manages to turn any scenario into a disgustingly pathetic/pathetically disgusting "plot." Bleah!
Monday
ReplyDeleteApparently Hanna had no life before she married Mr. Dingdon. Betty Friedan is rolling over in her grave. Unfortunately for Hanna and her romantic fantasies about a new life with the charming Sean Hastings, it's Amy he's interested in - va va voom!
If I were Hanna, I'd marry Sean just so I could be Hanna Hastings, rather than Hanna Dingdon.
ReplyDeleteTuesday - boy, Charming Sean Hastings has one hot car! Hubba-hubba!
ReplyDeleteSean: Want some candy, Hanna?
Hanna: Why, yes, I don't mind if I do!
Sean: It tastes better in the back seat!
FADE TO BLACK
Tuesday
ReplyDeleteThe headlights of Sean's vehicle disappeared between yesterday and today.
Why hasn't Hanna mentioned her son, a.k.a. "Amy's brother"? Is he the black sheep of the Dingdons?
