Mary Worth 3316

So Jared uses the ol' kiss-me-before-we-die line. There's something about seeing other couples walk by while you sit on the Blah Blah Bench that just inspires love. Hugo is going to beat the crap out of Jared when he comes to visit.

Per your secret message, Wanders, KM did throw us a curve ball. Maybe she got ticked off by our snark and wanted to show that she can be unpredictable.

I think panel 5, with Jared and Dawn staring at each other, has Panel of the Year possibilities because of their noses. Jared’s nose looks like it got smashed against the side of a building, and Dawn’s nose reminds me of Jughead in the Archie comics. Of course, the last panel has POTY potential too: not only are the noses making contact, Dawn’s got her peepers wide open. Ay yi yi!

I think Dawn is supposed to be surprised by the kiss! If not, that is indeed super weird.

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled

"Talking About Death: Always A Big Hit With The Ladies".

Very good...
Remember!
All facets...
Death. Sobering.
It is. Short...


I found June's template for Jared in the penultimate panel. Check it out.

Ol' Rumi was such a romantic.

I'm eager to see Dawn's reaction. Will she kiss him back? Will she slap him? Will she pull back all flustered and confused? Will she burst into tears and run off?

I haven't looked forward to the next strip this much since What's Her Face pushed Entertainer Esme over the railing.

Nance, your BFH title and June’s template for Jared are screamingly brilliant. Huzzah once again!

It was the power of Chin Napkin that gave Jared the courage to make his move. Sunday-only readers will never know.

I'd say Dawn's nose is not so much Jughead as Richard Nixon: it's the classic ski-jump look. "Jared, let me make this perfectly clear: I am not a two-timer."

If only Jared's nose had the smooth Kissinger hook instead of that awkward bump, they would be a match made in...well, not exactly heaven. The State Department, maybe?

Laughter therapy, courtesy of Mary Worth and Me! Thank you everyone! I so need laughs at a time like this. It appears Jared is the only one in the Worthiverse with an (indirect) clue that life is short, and that could be just because he wants to make time with Dawn. Of course, maybe there is a dome over the Worthiverse, and they are not experiencing the virus crisis like the rest of California. Think maybe the Worthiverse has been Sheltering in Place since 1962?

A plot advancement on Sunday suggest to me that Moy is bored with staying at home. Maybe this will be a new trend and last until the virus is vanquished.

Man, that is some awkward kiss. I'm hoping that Dawn's pointy little nose will impale Jared's bulbous honker and we'll be calling him Ketill Flatnose from now on.
