"My relationship? Dad, I just said, I'm part of his group! There's a whole group of us. I'm the student he does yoga with. Kathy's the student he does parkour with, and Venessa's the student he gardens root vegetables with! Don't you know what a group is?"
Wanders, I'm happy you posted the link to Dawn's first go-round with Harlan almost TWO YEARS ago. No wonder Dawn's been an undergraduate for seventeen years. Questions: Who will care for Alfie while Harlan's away? Will Dawn see more things in Italy that remind her of Dave, or maybe of Dr. Cad, the married boss? Will Dawn pack a entire suitcase of Mary Muffins?
ReplyDeleteNo matter what happens in this storyline, I'm imagining what happens off-camera.
ReplyDeleteMary's trauma has caused her to dissociate. By day she sublimates with comfort food. By night her other personality puts on a mask and patrols the streets in search of mashers in need of an oof-inducing jab to the gut. The Santa Royale PD publicly decry the vigilantism of the Merry Meddler, but are secretly grateful for the help. Even they are puzzled by the muffin hats placed on the perps.
That's my truth, and I'm sticking to it.
Who’s paying for this? Wilbur must have maxed out his credit card on that emerald ring. They’ve been eating nothing but stale muffins. And now Dawn is off to “beautiful Italy”? Oh, well, I hope she actually enjoys it this time, instead of being a sullen little slouch.
ReplyDeleteToday's Boldface Haiku is titled
ReplyDelete"Because She Handled It So Well Previously, KM Goes Back To Clean Up The Crumbs Of Yet Another Inappropriate Relationship".
Miss. Excited.
Excited! Art history, Italy, Harlan's!
Exactly relationship?
And so now we're just supposed to forget about the muffins?
ReplyDeletePack some muffins for the trip, Dawn. And avoid any cruise ships!

ReplyDeleteOf all the new story lines I hoped we might have this week, one featuring the Westons didn't even make the list. (We need more Iris and Zak drama. Or some new people to move into Charterstone.)
I guess Jared never got any traction with Dawn. Oh well, he still has his kitten. Unless it ran away too.

Harlan's groupies - is Harlan paying for the trip for all the coeds? or just Dawn?

Ha ha, Harlan's Harem!
Nice teddy bear, Dawn. It looks like she still has her childhood bed and drapes too.
-- S. McW.
Dawn's eyes are big enough for a velvet painting.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Dawn specified that it's the beautiful Italy she's going to, as opposed to that other, ugly Italy.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is blech, blech, and double blech...
ReplyDeleteSo in the first panel, Wilbur is excited for Dawn, but he has no clue where she is going! Only in the next panel does she reveal her plans to travel to Italy with Harlan!! I wonder where Wilbur thought she was going.
ReplyDeleteI think Moy is going to connect these two "plots" in some lame way that she hopes to pass off as significant and up with current events. ... I LOVE seeing DAWN again, though! Maybe Fabiana will show up in Italy and try to make off with Harlan a la Entertainer Esme and Mr. Hoser.
ReplyDeleteWait... didn't the last time Dawn went to Italy she ended up on the Costa Concordia? Ten to one she gets caught in a sinking building in Venice like in that James Bond movie.
