The boldface emphasis on “Good Night” makes it sound more like “Get Out!” I would hope that Mary is shrewder than to invest with some overbearing shyster on the basis of a few hours’ acquaintance. After all, she should still have memories of selling apples on street corners eighty years ago.
The look on Mary's face as Jeff kisses her cheek says "After bringing over this knucklehead, don't be expecting a kiss on the lips for a LONG time!" Poor Jeff. He's pretty hapless.. I suspect he's been quiet throughout, because he doesn't want to admit in front of Mary that he bought a timeshare from Ted...
I would not be as nice as Mary under these conditions. I would be saying, through my teeth, "enough with the #*$%!@ muffins, okay?" Teaches me not to serve them as appetizers again.
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.
In panel 1, Ted is so revolted by the sight of Jeff sticking his nose in Mary's eye, he faces the opposite way while talking to Mary.
ReplyDeleteQuestions of the day: (1) Will Jeff give Ted Mary's phone number? (2) Is "Mary Muffins" a catchier brand name than "Mary's Muffins"?
I'm looking forward to Nance's haiku today. Hit it, Nance!
We could go with "Mary's Magical Muffins" except that 3M is already taken.
ReplyDeleteToday's Boldface Haiku is titled
ReplyDelete"Ted's Ex-Wife Invented Tagless Underwear".
Thanks. Call.
Thanks, wonderful! Marketing! Big!
Think! Good Night!
ReplyDeleteI'll call you later? What time did they eat dinner, 4 o'clock?
Maybe he wants to call and apologize for bringing Ted over.
