Mary Worth 2484

If it isn't a real band, then it must be an anagram, but I can't figure it out, although I do see the word "aging" in there. And it would make sense that it's a band for an aging audience if they start playing at 6:30. Iris will be sound asleep by nine.

I consulted Google (the great and powerful). "Maggio" is the Italian word for "May," and "Nollaig" is Irish and pertains to a child born on Christmas. So, I figure the band is something like Andrea Bocelli meets Enya. More to the point (ha!) here, I gather this is Karen Moy's code for May-December, as in the Zak-Iris romance.

Iris should invite Tommy along. He might make a new friend.

@KitKat, I love that interpretation, and it's in the realm of possibility that KM might be capable of wordplay that sophisticated. Unlikely, but possible. Like Wanders, I immediately thought of anagrams!

I went the anagram route myself. "Malign a Gigolo"


Maggio Nollaig. That would make a great band name.....said no one ever.

It's an anagram of ganglioglioma, a rare, slow-growing primary central nervous system (CNS) tumor which most frequently occurs in the temporal lobes of children and young adults.

Yea, Phish cover band.

My question is what Iris is going to do when Zak takes a drag off of the funny cigarette his friends are passing around and then hands it to her.

What will Iris do with the funny cigarette? She'll bogart it, my friend.

But, will Iris shell out 30 bucks for a Maggio Nollaig t-shirt?

Shouldn't it be daylight 24 hours a day in Antarctica when it is winter here in the northern hemisphere? This makes me wonder how it is dark in each of the panels with Wilbur in Antarctica. This defies the laws of physics, but this is a strip which once had the sun blocking out clouds, so anything goes.

No, Iris! Touch that hanger only if you're going to put that top in the bag for Goodwill!
