Sigh. Once again, KM has a perfectly good Dramatic Plot Event, and she completely ignores its potential.
Instead of Amy's "date" with Dave, Gordy's "meet-up" with Dave, a huge blowout argument at Diner between Amy and Hanna, an emotional collapse witnessed by Sean...oh, ANYTHING ELSE--we have a CoffeeTalk with Amy. The next day.
As if Everything is Peachy and Amy is a Caring Daughter.
I need some help. The Comments on the Cleveland Plain Dealer website seem to have disappeared. Is there some setting or function that I need to trigger to see the comments>?
The plot thickens--or curdles, perhaps. Amy will try to sabotage Hanna's relationship with Sean in order to keep the free babysitting services. Mary, we have identified your meddling victim. Be prepared to lay some platitudes on Amy (along with a Kelk casserole).
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.
YAY! Let's have a Dingdong sing-a-long!
ReplyDeleteThe best part of waking up is Hastings in your cup.

Oh brother.
Since Dave's head (or any other man's head) is not emanating from Amy's cup, does this indicate that the evening was not a success?
ReplyDeleteI'm with Nance - KM punts once again. Even more infuriating, yet again the answer to a woman's problem is a man. Except for Mary herself, of course.

ReplyDeleteYes, you need to look in the comics session of seattlepi.com! The bawdy jokes were just too much for the Ohio readership.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome way to start out the new year . . . a floating head in a cup. I love it.
ReplyDeleteWanders, we have a winner for next year's Worthy Awards! (New category: The floating head in a coffee cup).

Some poor innocent kid looking through the funny pages today is going to see this panel and be screwed up for years, if not a lifetime.
Let's play a word game.

You know, Amy's boyfriend reminds me of Dave.
ReplyDeleteWanders's take on yesterday's strip would fit perfectly into the New Year's Day Twilight Zone marathon. Well played, sir!

Shouldn't Amy be happy about her mother having a new boyfriend? Doesn't it mean that she has access to two free babysitters?
