Mary Worth 2130

Awww, it's not just a group show, it's a group show of elite artists. Elite. I didn't realize that "elite" meant students in the Thursday night ceramics class down at the rec center.

I'm wondering if the reason Toby's tea is simmering with such a deadly curl of smoke, is that it's mixed with the moonshine stored on top of the refrigerator.

    The full Sunday strip (click on "Buy Prints' in Comics Kingdom) shows that this "elite group of artists" exhibited their gray works at the Santa Royale Art Center, and Toby was complimented on her "figurines." People probably said that to Rodin, too ("Oh Monsieur Rodin, I love your figurines!").

    Toby dropped a capsule of smoking cyanide in that mug and is going to hand it off to Chinbeard.

    Must be Ian's moonshine. It has a nipple on it.

    Well, apparently Toby gets her art inspiration from her refrigerator. Nice color of gray there.

    I am beginning to worry about Mary. She was absent from the last plot, she is absent from this one.

    Is Mary off-stage resting, as she deserves, or is it something more? Has she turned her Gaze of Care and Concern towards other matters, other beings more deserving than us? Are we being prepared for a word without her centering presence?

    Is there is a order to this universe or are we just motes of dust higglety-pigglety in an uncaring void?

    So Toby's a tea drinker! Who knew?! All this time I thought she and Mary were swilling Sanka....Judging from the tension on her face, I don't think her tea is decaffeinated. . .

    I'm glad to see the refrigerator door has been reattached after the enraged Scotsman tore it off its hinges last week. Hopefully Mary can effect similar repairs to this painfully damaged relationship.

    I think Ian may be in deep trouble with his Retention/Tenure/Promotion committee. An adverse ruling can be reversed by someone at the Deaconal level or higher in the University administration. "Director" Berkes may fit the bill there at Santa Royale Polytechnic.

    Toby's nails have been sharpened to a dagger-like point. Ian better watch out.

    I'm anti-violence. But I can't help thinking about Chekhov's gun when contemplating the steaming cup o' rage Toby is holding. Fortunately Ian has a thick beard.

    Only an elite artist would be able to sculpt a masterpiece during an all-nighter 12 hours before it was to be displayed.

    I'm loving this marital tension between Toby (my favorite MW character!) and Ian. I hope it goes on for another week at least! Maybe Mary will hear the yelling and pop in to give the couple her two cents!

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.
