Mary Worth 3289

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

Last week KittKat correctly predicted that Medical Assistant Jared (with the last name of Mylo!) would pop back into the picture. Do you use a crystal ball or Spidey Sense KitKat LOL.

Anyway, I wonder if he's still into Star Wars. I predict him and Dawn will go to a Star Wars convention and do a little cosplay: he as Luke Skywalker and she as Princess Leia.

I also wonder if he's still working for Dr. McCreepy and if he's still driving that car being held together with duct tape. Knowing how desperate Dawn is for a man ANY man, she and Jared will be making a love connection behind Hugo's back. (I'm sure Hugo's doing the same in Gay Paree. "The women here are much better than in America." says smug Hugo.)

I like the intensity with which Jared stares at his phone's list of icons. Jared and Dawn could be a match made in Remedial Reading.

Run, Jared!

@KitKat: We are not "Worthy"!

I don't remember Jared having a tumor in the middle of his nose before. Wow, that schnozz looks like a ski run.

He's gawking at the phone like he's never seen one before.

If Dawn's already eating and Jared already has his drink, how is it they didn't notice each other before now? Note to June: portraying reality really shouldn't be this difficult.

P.S. Wanders, perhaps you can add "I Need a Man" by Grace Jones in the Charterstone jukebox in honor of Dawn.

The credit for predicting Jared goes to HelenClark, who posted that at 8:37 a.m. on Sunday. Huzzah, HelenClark! I just hope you didn't attempt a Vulcan mind meld with KM - you could hurt yourself with that!

If Jared had a surname in his first appearance, I don't recall it. Any significance to "Mylo"? And does Tony let you use the free WiFi if you just buy a beverage?

Just picture Dawn's laptop covered in stringy cheese - bleah.

Dawn really has to stop washing her hair with motor oil.

Thanks, KitKat! However, the mere thought that I'm starting to think like KM is very frightening. I think I'll go have a drink...

Oops.

@Helen Clark: Nice call!

Thanks, S. McW... Every 50 or 60 years or so, I manage to get something right!

Medical Assistant Jared is starting to look pretty hunky, a good deal hunkier than a certain homme qui s'apelle Hugo. Hugo, whose house-painting muscles have, no doubt, now atrophied. Alas, Jared's last name "Mylo", is, I think, a commentary on Dawn's estimation of him.

What’s up with you these days, Jared?

I’ve just finished med school and completed my internship; now I’m heading for an international residency at the American Hospital in Paris; my minor was French, so it seems like a natural progression for me. I’ll be staying with my friend Hugo le Pew. Do you know anyone who might be interested in subletting my penthouse condo for a couple of years? Oops, gotta go; I have to pick up my girlfriend from her job at Dr. Ned Fletcher’s office. Nice to see you, Diane.

Regina Wolfe-Parks said...

@Helen Clark sorry! KitKat's name must have been before yours and it was so early in the morning, I gave her the credit. So, again, do you have a crystal ball or Spidey sense LOL.

I am preoccupied by the transformation of Dawn's facial features... her left eye sliding remorselessly to the left, her proud proboscis thrusting forward like the beak of a myopic gull, her right hand curled like a claw and brandishing her as-yet unbitten slice like a welcoming tray of Tony's salami slices...

No wonder Jared was coyly staring at his phone with his one functioning eye. She is lovelier than the rose, as enchanting as he remembered her. He dared not open his other eye lest he be blinded by the complete vision of Dawn, his lost love.

If only he had noticed her laptop language of love, the screen turned boldly towards him, the display telling a story of o henry like coincidence, a bold listing of Star Wars figurines for sale on Gregslist, only slightly damaged... a shared passion to be discovered.

Be bold and brave, Jared. But do it somewhere else, you two. I can't handle the intensity.

No worries, Regina W-P! And, no, unfortunately no crystal ball or Spidey sense. At my age, all you get is crystalized kidney stones, and spider veins...

OMG, HelenClark, you called it. Nice. And anonymous at 1:28 PM, thank you for so poetically (and hysterically) pointing out everything wrong with the drawing on these panels. Which is, well, pretty much everything. I'm not surprised Jared didn't notice Dawn before. The way he's holding his phone two inches from his face, I think his eyesight must have gone. Poor guy. Or maybe as his nose has grown outward from his face, it's begun impairing his vision.

RE: Yesterday's strip, that's an interesting logo Tony's has. It appears to be a pizza on fire, or at least smoldering. Drawing steam is really not June's forte. I guess it goes along with her generally difficulty with drawing water in all of its phases. Also, “I have my laptop with me. I’ll work on my reading assignment as I eat dinner in a quiet booth,” sounds exactly what someone would think to themselves if they were a robot, or maybe an alien, trying to think like a human.

I’d like to think a good 30-45 minutes transpired between panel one and panel two.

And the correct answer is “I’m not a stranger Dawn. I’m ignoring you.”

meg, you are hilarious. How did you know Hugo’s last name?
