Fun fact: Terry Mcmillan, author of "How Stella Got Her Groove Back," based it on her relationship with a Jamaican man she met when she was 43 and he was 20. Six years after they married, she filed for divorce because he hid that he was gay. She claimed he wanted only money and citizenship.
Mary’s face in panel two is so telling. She’s savoring the opportunity to be both smug and judgmental. (Smugmental?) Anyway, this will be great practice when she unloads on Dawn, augmented by inedible muffins, of course.
So any betters on how post-Hugo Dawn will let her life spiral out of control?
So far we’ve had weeping to country music in the shower before a half-assed suicide attempt, not washing or cleaning your cat box for a month, and Dr. Jeff. My vote? Dawn binge-watches The Good Place, declares at the end that she “just doesn’t get it” and forgets what it was that got her so upset.
I recently received a letter from a Jamaican bartender who can't forget an older woman. You should sell your house and move to Jamaica. Don't tell him you're coming, a surprise is more romantic,
Mary leans back and munches on a victory carrot. "Ain't I a stinker?"
My bartender she's from the islands, Her body's been kissed by the sun, And coconut replaces the smell of the bar, And I don't know if its her or the rum...
Plus, she says she really likes my speedo.
What do I do ? I don't know what to tell Estelle, the desperate widow woman I hooked up with just before I left to "interview survivors."

Obviously, KM's summer reading is "How Stella got her groove back."
I was wondering how Mary was going to insert herself into this insipid plot. Just read the book or see the movie Mary and you'll have your answer.
Today's Boldface Haiku is titled
"Batten Down The Hatches! A Storm Of Banal Platitudes Approaches!".
Half my age
Jamaica...
Back ended.
Haven't...
Did Iris and Zak vacation in Beautiful Jamaica?

@Regina, you beat me to it with “How Stella Got Her Groove Back.” Wanders and @Nance, LOL with the secret message and BFH title.
Gee, what an amazing coincidence that Mary’s reading a letter about a summer romance. Now, how would WILBUR answer this?

I look forward to KM's weaving of these two--or is it three--story lines.
How do people know to write to "Wendy"? And there must be a difference in the style of replies when Mary is doing the column, rather than Wilbur.

Ask Wendy replies...

Dear Wendy
My bartender she's from the islands,
Her body's been kissed by the sun,
And coconut replaces the smell of the bar,
And I don't know if its her or the rum...
Plus, she says she really likes my speedo.
What do I do ? I don't know what to tell Estelle, the desperate widow woman I hooked up with just before I left to "interview survivors."
Please advise.

I immediately thought of an old SNL skit. It's pretty family friendly.

@Michael Beaumier at 10:20 a.m., I’d like to see Bad Janet from The Good Place beat up Dawn
People seem to fall in love rather quickly and easily in the Worthiverse. It must result from all of them letting their tummy brain do the thinking.
