LOL Nance, you've done it again. The title says it all. If I was Mary, I would be insulted that my salmon squares are being fed to a dog and why is that dog's nasty butt on the table? But then I thought to myself. "That poor dog is going to have the runs all night from those salmon squares."
Like you Nance, I was like "When are muffins an appetizer?" I think they are leftovers from her aborted venture with Ted "what a character" Miller and they've been sitting in her freezer all these months.
From a distance, Mary's new victim looks like Mr. Magoo.
Pool Party! It’s been a long time. The last pool party was when we met Olive Tummybrain. Now, a note to Karen Moy: although my avatar proclaims me as a cat person, I also love dogs. And if you do anything bad to that little doggie, I Am Coming For You. Be warned.
@fauxprof, feeding anything prepared by Mary to an animal should alert PETA immediately. BTW, except for the tail, my initial impression was that the animal is a cat. Whoops.
@Nance, by Jove, you’ve done it again!
Enough with the muffins, Mary! Maybe Mr. Alora can use them as rocks alongside the path.
Mr. White Hair and his animal are the most promising introduction since John Dill.
Notice the chair? Not pushed in. We're always yelling at the kids to push in their chairs because our puggle or cat will climb up and eat what is on the table.
I just want to know what that poor dog did to Mr. Magoo to deserve getting fed those awful salmon snacks. Perhaps Mary offered him one, he took a taste and was grossed out and did like kids do when they don't like something: surreptitiously feed it to some poor unsuspecting animal. Unfortunately, tattletale Toby caught him. Tomorrow Mary will quote him Charterstone Rule #6982574, which forbids animals sitting on pool furniture.
I hope when the dog gets deathly ill from her "treats", Magoo sends her the vet bill.
Looks like Toby may have paid a little visit to the Hoosiers' room while they were elsewhere on the cruise ship. Isn't that Katie's little skort (or whatever you call it) that Toby is wearing?
I got ridiculously excited when I saw there was both a pool party AND new characters.
It looks like the pool has frozen over, trapping those two poor people in the ice.
Nance, you've hit the nail on the head again. Also, your title from August 24 still has me grinning, despite the fact that it's caused me to have "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" popping into my head at way too frequent intervals.
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!! Pool party, (chicken salad) appetizers, (square-shaped) salmon snacks, muffins, Toby Cameron (my favorite!), AND a new character!!!!
TUESDAY Today's panel 3: Smiling overly sweetly, Mary grabs the dog and tosses it into the pool with one hand while dumping the remaining salmon snacks on the head of Mr. White Hair with the other.
@KitKat, I only wish. The glazed look on Mary's eyes is certainly menacing.
That said, I want to know just how many hors d'oeuvres this guy thinks he can feed his dog left to his own devices. I'm not particularly up on my pool party etiquette but I'm guessing he pegged the number way too high.
Good catch, toytuba. Another discontinuity. That dog collar or bow tie or whatever Poochie was wearing yesterday has magically disappeared. Maybe he ate it.
I'm with Nance -- that's Character Père, Ted Miller's father. He's going to start raving about Mary's salmon things. People love 'em, dogs love 'em . . . they're two [clap] two [clap] two treats in one! A wonderful palate-pleaser for both man and beast. With Mary's culinary skills and Dad's marketing skills, they could make a fortune.
I don't see how Moy thought today's strip was needed, so she'll probably run the same thing again tomorrow to follow the Rule of Three. Will the other people continue to disappear? Is their vanishing related to the additional salmon squares?
Good catch with those dis-continuities, toytuba, anonymous, and downpuppy. Maybe the dog has been jumping up on the appetizer table and grabbing treats to bring to the old man, totally grossing the other guests out and causing them to leave. Or maybe it was Mary bringing out more of those damn muffins. As if the salmonella squares weren't bad enough!
I can hear Mary’s comments being said in a very sarcastic way. “The nerve of old man Magoo in 3H feeding his mangy mutt my delicious salmon treats.” I’m trying to figure out what’s Mr. Magoo’s problem that she’ll be sticking her two cents into: I suspect a lonely widower who’s only friend is Mr. Sprinkles (the name speaks for itself.), or Mr. Magoo has Alzheimer’s and wandered into the pool party with Mr. Sprinkles, or he lives down the street and is there for the free food (no matter how bad it is) for Mr. Sprinkles.
OMG everyone today, my sides hurt from laughing! Mr. Sprinkles (ha ha!) bringing more salmonella squares (ha ha ha!), Ted Miller's father....ha ha ha ha ha etc. etc.!!!!!

I'm glad to see no Westons or Beedies, but I am concerned about the muffins being paraded in front of us again.
Today's Boldface Haiku is titled
"Muffins Are Acceptable On The Appetizer Table If It Is A Brunch Party, But A Dog's Butt Is Never Okay".
Muffins earlier...
Salmon snacks big hit!
Those two!
First of all, pool party! Yay!

This is a Mary Worth trifecta - salmon squares, muffins, and a Charterstone Pool Party. And no Tommy or Wilbur.
At least the dog like the salmon squares!
Don't get me wrong. I like dogs butt...
That sure looks like some Weston male pattern baldness in the pool right above the banner......just saying.

Why didn't Mary cook more efficiently and make salmon muffins? Or a giant pink salmon cake a la John Dill?
I thought Mary would get quite upset seeing her non-square salmon snacks being fed to a dog.
When are the catastrophic wild fires going to consume Santa Royale? No? Okay, I'll settle for floods or mudslides.
As the guests are talking, laughing, and having a wonderful time, Wilbur appears in his Speedo. Horror ensues.

@anonymous When Wilbur shows up in his Speedo frolicking will ensue. Maybe his Colombian giantess is somewhere in the pool.
@Regina Wolfe-Parks--Thank you. I was thinking that The New Guy looked like Jim Backus, who, interestingly enough, voiced Mr. Magoo at one point!
@KitKat--Bless your heart, you are always in my corner! I appreciate your kudos.
*Now if only The New Guy were Ted Miller's dad...!
Ted Miller’s dad?! Hide yer daughters, folks, and yer female dogs!

Pool party, (chicken salad) appetizers, (square-shaped) salmon snacks, muffins, Toby Cameron (my favorite!), AND a new character!!!!
THANK YOU, MS. MOY!!!
@Regina Wolfe-Parks-
I was thinking either Red Buttons or a Dick Tracy cross over.
@Imjb 1964--Oh, thank you. And so sorry for the earworm. At least it wasn't the sappy country ballad!
Mary, just a thought, salmon, plus hot sunshine equals food poisoning.
TUESDAY

Maybe the dog is actually bringing salmon squares to the old man. Yesterday there were 2 on the plate - today there are 3.

So many questions.
Salmon snacks or salmonella snacks? I fear for little poochie’s digestive system. (He looks like a Pomeranian mix.)
Ah, what a cute little cat-dog!

Oh I also like how fancy the pool party is, you get little drink umbrellas for your glass of coke.
