Mary Worth 3268

So, wait a minute. When you thought you were -- heaven forbid -- AGING, you ended the best relationship you've ever had because you didn't want to be a burden on your boyfriend. But now that you have an actual disease, everything is awesome because your boyfriend is awesome and he has an awesome doctor who happens to accept your cut rate insurance? Oh, Iris, what did we do to deserve you?

    Today's Boldface Haiku is titled

    Did Zak trade in his cool sports car for a used fiat?

    What is outside the car's windshield? So Zak's high tech firm makes cars that drive in water?

    BUT...Dr. Howard could be totally wrong!

    Go home? Does he mean Charterstone or his place? And where are they at the moment he utters this command? Is he just going to drop her off some place and make her walk? Well, come to think of it, the handsome Stooge doctor did prescribe exercise.

    I second your remarks, Wanders. Iris didn’t want to “burden” Zak, but him babying her now is okay? If there was a Worthy Awards category for “Character You Most Want to Disappear,” I’d vote for Iris. She drives me nuts.

    Looks like Iris is deflating already, and she hasn't even gotten her meds yet!

    Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard. Since when did Zak drive a subcompact? He seems more like the SUV owner type.

    I wonder if she's going to apologize for just running off on him without saying why? That's was rather rude.

    I wonder what Zak sees in Iris?

    @Garnet at 12:22 p.m., I wonder the same thing. Maybe Zak needs a mommy nearby. It’s certainly not excitement because Iris has been as dull as dishwater, even before her recent health issues.

    I hope Iris doesn't lose her new-found nose as her condition improves with medication.

    Garnet's comment makes me wonder what Zak would see in Iris if Uncle Joe was still drawing this strip. If you look back through Wanders' archives, Iris wasn't exactly... ummm... attractive. But, then again, how would Uncle Joe have drawn Zak?
