Mary Worth 3308


Silently, the wraith muffles the rattle of its ceramic mug against the fiberglass tray, waiting for its victim to be alone once more, preparing to feed on that loneliness, sucking the last hope of connection from the fading shadow of her soul.

I don't know, Dawn. I'd think twice about letting her join me. I don't like the way she's staring off into space while making the request. Can volunteers access the pharmaceuticals cabinet? Or maybe it was something in those little smiley face cookies she's been eating.

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled

"It Looks Like You're Coming Apart".

Hello.
Join?

Perfectly put, Wanders. I can hear the ominous background music as Mary approaches her victim. “Hello, Dawn Dear. How is your BOYFRIEND in FRANCE? You must MISS him A LOT!”

I noticed yesterday that Jared has no ID badge, but Mary’s wearing one. It should say, “Mary, meddlesome volunteer. Interact at your own risk.” If the ID-less Jared approached me and said he was a physician assistant, I’d call Security.

It's apparent, today, why Mary prefers to get her volunteer work over early. From the look on her face, her new shift must start after cocktail hour.

So Jared is done with his lunch and Dawn isn't, but he's just going to leave her there by herself? How ungallant. A Frenchman would never do that.

And Mr. Wanders, that's a piece o' mighty fine writin' there. Slap a Blog Boy sticker upside your head.

Hilarious comments, everyone. Right on, M. Wanders! Trying to imagine JB's mental process as she decided to illustrate Mary in this oddly (pseudo) suspenseful way. Perhaps Mary is about to give Dawn some advice about how to avoid corona virus...Hint, it starts with staying at least 6 feet away from people.

Today's Mary Worth reality exercise: try walking around with a tray of food with a cup on it whilst holding on to the handle of the cup, as illustrated in today's panel one. See how people react.

For beginners who aren't yet ready to try balancing a smartphone on their knuckles, or innovative but potentially messy ways of holding pizza slices.

I've lived a long time and have never seen anyone hold a tray and a cup like that without dropping them. It looks like along with her mug of witch's brew, she's having a cookie and two strawberries.

Jared looks as if he's going to go smack dab into that window. Now that would be hilarious.

I can almost picture Mary talking in a robotic way as she descends on Dawn. Let the meddlin' begin!

Wanders, I missed your secret message about the strawberries, I almost choked on my Doritos. They must be Captain Queeg's.

Clearly, Mary is talking to another “Dawn” — a Dawn who’s reading the Mary Worth comic strip right now thinking Why is that old lady talking to me?

Dawn's having a bit of trouble with Spock's "Live long and prosper" salutation. Or maybe it's just a parody. :)
