Mary Worth 2313

Yesterday's Ask Wendy letter submitted by RockDoc (aka Renaissance Man) was just awesome, especially now that we stop to consider how Dawn's classmates might feel about her dating her professor. And, yes, Dawn, meals together, museum trips and private yoga practicing sessions between a single man and a single woman is dating, no matter how much your father may approve. Why study for tomorrow's quiz when you can have lunch with the teacher instead?

Dawn and Harlan are definitely getting the side-eye from a couple of the students. Soon the social media posts will begin. (Or, in KMs world, notes will be passed in class...)

The blonde giving the dirty look (a Toby lookalike, BTW) is wearing a PRINT top. Have we ever seen a female wearing anything besides a solid-color (usually pallid pink or putrid purple) top? This one almost looks like an animal print. Maybe Joe is indicating that blonde is a Tough Girl on Campus who will make trouble for Dawn and Harlan. I sure hope so - you go, blonde girl!

Bum Boat or Jerry's Sandwich Shoppe? Certainly hope it's the Boat and that Mary and Jeff are there for one of their semi-annual dates.

Perhaps Harlan has studied the Ian Cameron route of achieving tenure at University. First you chat up the clueless girl in your class, having her come over to your house to do yoga and go on field trips to Museum in the guise of Learning. Then you get a green jacket. The jacket is required for aspiring profs at University, although Harlan will have to work his way up to the astroturf-like texture of Ian's jacket. Next Dawn will take up sculputing after this scintillating art history class. I definitely see some gray clay in her future... For heavens sake, M. Giella already had Dawn and Harlan not-too-subtlely observing Rodin's "the Kiss" at Museum... Wedding bells and faculty dinners with Toby and Ian coming soon!

Why are they quizzing Edward R. Morrow? Does he know more about Da Vinci than anyone else?

I can't believe no one commented yet on a true person of color behind animal-print-girl! Granted, only exactly half his face is in the frame, but still! Progress?

A brighter shade of green . . . nice change.

Okay, what I want to know is, after however many years of grief Prof. GreenJeans has suffered through, what could he possibly see in Dawn that would interest him in moving on? Her amazing intellect? Her ambition? Her dedication? Her hair?

Her hair. Definitely her hair. I myself have been mesmerized by its knive-edge sharpness for years!

I think he is impressed with how easy it will be to groom her.

So we have two side-eyes and one proptosis. Hope the student health center has an ophthalmologist on staff.
