Z: Would you like a 2nd cup of coffee? I: Coffee? Z: Let go of my hand I: Your hand? Z: That's not my hand. I: ! Z: It feels so natural! I: That's because you have a job now.
I can’t make any sense of this progression. They walked from dinner to Zak’s apartment. They went from the front steps to the kitchen for coffee. Now they’ve found themselves in his car. If this were a Gene Wolfe novel, I would take it as evidence that the author is playing tricks with chronological narrative. But in Mary Worth, I just assume the illustrator can’t be bothered to check where the characters were last.
@TheRealAaron: Iris walked Zak home. So then Zak had to drive Iris back home. Which means, of course, that she will then need to walk him back home. This could go on for quite a while.
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.

ReplyDeleteI will give credit for the accuracy of this detail: lots of people who come into suddenly wealth go out and buy a classic car from their youth.

ReplyDeleteIt's a pity someone keyed the heck out of that car. And deflated half the front tire.
