Jared is a nice guy, but it was the darkest time of your life, Dawn, to discover you were dating a married man. Although... now that I think about it, I definitely hope it IS like old times, and that Jared will be the one to inform Dawn that Hugo is cheating on her.

Dawn, you’re an idiot. Jared works at NORTHview Hospital and Mary volunteers at MOUNTview hospital. Anyone with even the slightest interest in this strip knows that.

“I can’t wait to visit him and watch him paint the publishing company in Paris.”

So much time since I’m a full time student. Still, I wouldn’t dream of getting a job.

He's French. He'll hate it. But I want to drive him into a murderous rage so he'll come visit me.

Wait a minute, Jared. The pay isn't better because you're at a hospital. The pay is better because you were a Medical Assistant for Dr. Fletcher, and now you're a Physicians Assistant, which pays three times as much. Remember how you spent the last two years in school?

"So do I! Sadly, it's a Star Wars Parody Film, so it won't ever be in theaters. Not after Space Balls."

Why are you lying about enjoying pizza, Jared? We can clearly see that you don’t have any pizza. Are you trying to trick Dawn into thinking you’ve suddenly come into money, or is this your subtle way of letting Dawn know that you don’t believe her cockamamie story about a boyfriend. In France.

It’s been two years? Yes, in earth time, but in the Worthiverse? That’s impossible! That would mean that Dawn would be just about finishing up her associates degree, and that can never happen!

"Come on over, Jared! I have a new boyfriend and he isn't you again. Do you want to see pictures of his muscles?"

Tony’s. Even the name promises drama, tension, story rich in character. The magic of theatre and pizza and cheese fries. We are in for a wonderful six months. Unless this is the “Based on a Previous Work” category.

Did Wilbur mention anything about “Liquid Courage?”

Every morning I wake up and ask myself, “How is Karen Moy going to form a coherent sentence that fits into a tiny word balloon?” Some days are better than others.

“...We are more like Romeo and Guinevere.”

Mary Worth 3284

That’s funny, Wilbur. One could ask Dawn the same question about you, don’t you think?

Mary Worth 3283

At first I thought Hugo’s eyes were screaming “I’m a liar,” but knowing how video cams work, I realize no one ever looks up unless they’re rolling their eyes. Which makes a lot of sense in this moment. 

Mary Worth 3282

Just a matter of time. No words strike more dread in the Worthiverse.

Mary Worth 3281

“... In fact, let me tell you how I lost the love of my life because of long distance. No, you’ll really enjoy it.”

Mary Worth 3280

And thus it begins. Hugo insists on speaking French and Wilbur counters with an English greeting. This may escalate quickly.

I've had trouble blogging for a few days. Suddenly, my life just felt so much more important than Iris's thyroid condition. But I was so looking forward to waking up this morning and seeing what new adventure Karen Moy had come up with for us.

Isn't it wonderful to know that for the next four months we're going to watch Dawn stare at her laptop? But I will miss Joe Giella's computer renderings:
