Dave in Parma: Hee hee! I thought exactly the same thing. Tomorrow’s strip, he’ll say: “I’ll get you, my little pretty! You, and your little dog Toto, too! Bwahahaha!"
The hydrangeas are next to Ned’s car? So Ned’s suggestion to take a stroll was to walk to the parking lot? Wouldn’t they have to go there anyway to, you know, get in the car again?
It's okay, My Lovely, I won't rush you. I'll just sleep with one of my back-up girlfriends tonight. You see, I had an opening tonight and I thought I might squeeze you in, but that's okay. There will be other openings.
As a goof, I typed "my lovely" into Google. This is what came up. For your listening pleasure (and perhaps a future Charterstone jukebox hit "Where Do You Go To My Lovely". I think the lyrics sum up everything Dr. McCreepy is thinking:
@Delilah: maybe we'll get lucky and some flying monkeys will swoop down, pick Dawn up, and carry her away.
On a side note, I'd like to give credit where due to JB for her automobile artwork. It falls into the standard of her horse. It is not up to Uncle Joe's quality for automobile drawing, and that's a good thing. To quote Mike Tyson, "I take my hand off to you."
Regina:That's one of my favorite songs, and one of the few I can play on my guitar and sing all the lyrics to half decently. Well, it WAS one of my favorites.
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.
Aaarrrr, me lovely! International Talk Like A Pirate Day isn't till September 19.
ReplyDelete@Ian - well, Dawn's last wannabe boyfriend, Jim, had only one arm. Maybe Captain Ned has a peg leg.
ReplyDeleteAll in all, this is a pretty interesting storyline. Two overbearing men -- we are starting to see Ned as a villain, but is needy Jared the hero?
ReplyDeleteIf Ned calls Dawn "my lovely" one more time, I may have to shrink down into panel size and give him a good ole Mark Trail punch!

"My lovely" two days running - ick. Dr. Ned McDreamy is really Dr. Cad McSmarmy.
ReplyDelete"It's okay, my lovely. I won't rush you! How about lunch tomorrow? Or brunch?"
Today's Boldface Haiku is titled "Let The Gaslighting Begin".
ReplyDeleteStrong Feelings.
Same, you...Understanding:
Overwhelmed fast.
Okay, rush!
"My lovely" reads much better if done in the voice of the Wicked Witch of the West/Margaret Hamilton.

Once you start getting distracted by the hydrangeas, it's time to concede that the plot is failing, alas, yet again.

If Dawn ever finds herself trapped in a car sinking in a lake she could use the tip of her nose to break a window and escape.

Dr. Ned needs to go on a cruise and meet Esme. They could have a wonderful time deciding who is the predator and who is the prey.
ReplyDeleteDave in Parma....the car is pretty good, but have we seen June do anything other than a Mini?
ReplyDeleteAnd Yay! fauxprof...what a great idea. Esme and Ned...a perfect couple.

ReplyDeleteMiss Scarlet: I seem to remember Iris and Tommy tooling around in an early 2000's Subaru Forester.
