Mary Worth 3271


Please tell me how I reach that point, Iris!

So far, the healthy milk and tomatoes Zak bought at Wholesome Foods haven't made a dent in Iris's size. Since Zak says her weight and her hair don't matter to him, bring on the triple chocolate brownies, Iris - they're even more amazing than Zak!

Wanders, "hideous" applies to those curtains, too.

Uh, weren't her hair loss and weight gain two of the three things that panicked her into moving out and then reluctantly seeking medical help? And now she doesn't care about them?

Jeez, we're apparently looking at a room-temperature I.Q. here, folks.

I switched from cow's milk to soy milk because I read, and agreed, that cow's milk was intended for baby cows, not humans. Then I switched from soy milk to almond milk because soy contains an estrogen-like compound and I didn't want to develop manboobs. Now I've read that that almond milk has inflammatory properties and that the almond growing industry is murder on bees. So, Iris, you may not care about your weight or your hair (and winding up looking like Butterbean Esch), but for the love of God, please take pity on the poor bees.

Even organic almond milk?

What this country needs is a good non-GMO, bee-friendly milk made from free-range almonds.

It's pretty clear that the model for Zak's character is Barbie's BF, Ken, right down to the insipid, unbelievable statements he makes. I bet his hair has that odd Brillo-pad, adherent quality that Ken dolls have, with the tendency to pick up bits of lint from the floor. His hair certainly is the same color as Ken's...

I'm probably gonna get kicked out of here for writing this, but ... here goes... what I believe Iris needs more than cow or almond or soy or whatever milk, is just a new bra...

Iris has also suddenly sprouted a Jay Leno chin. Man, that Hashimoto's is nasty stuff.

Sandi Ego said...

Do we have a side by side comparison of hot Iris and not Iris? That is quite the transformation. She is starting to look like a suitable mate for Wilbur.

SUNDAY
Nice of Iris to tell Zak what Dr. Howard said, just in case he wasn't paying attention when he was in the same office during the consultation. Then again, perhaps he needs reminding, since he has bought her some "prepared" foods for tomorrow. Preservatives, hormones, artificial flavorings, and sodium off the charts. Yum. Come to think of it, I don't recall Doc Howard warning her off gluten.

Sandi Ego said...

Prepared foods and starchy potatoes, I agree, Yahoonski, this is not what the amazing Dr. Howard meant. I appreciate Zak's solicitous attitude, but doesn't he have a business to run? Or has he retired off the huge profits from Zakiks? Maybe he will find a way to monetize this little adventure into the World of Hashimoto's. Iris can recount her survivor story to Wilbur, everybody wins.

SUNDAY
When I read the last panel early this morning, I thought Zak’s words were, “I love you too, Sis.” That might not be much of an error.

So Zak bought enough groceries for two meals - bully for him. Will he shop at Wholesome Foods every other day, or will Iris soon be in her own, knocking on Mary’s door for whatever strange foodstuff Mary has too much of?

So gluten causes low thyroid, huh?

Is anyone else alarmed by Iris's suddenly and disturbingly misshapen face of panel 3 in Sunday's strip? Zak is too busy staring at the unmarked package from Wholesome Food, wondering what the heck it was bought, and doesn't notice that her face suddenly seems to be disintegrating. Her eyes don't think up, she's missing part of her lip, and her nose is disappearing. Maybe whatever's in that test tube she's holding is causing it. Fortunately, in the next panel, she's back to looking like a human being again.

I see on Monday's strip, we get to see Wilboor and Estelle sharing a laugh. Bleaaggh.

Monday: Not another Wilbur and Iris story.

Wilboor and Iris share a laugh about his drunken antics and his standing in the rain with a boombox. God, I wish I could punch that smile off Wilbur's face.
