Mary Worth 3379

Unexpected changes? Yes, please! The whole world is hoping for a change, but for those of us who follow Mary Worth, the monotony is especially acute.

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled

"Script Fragment From A Feminine Hygiene Product Commercial".

Nervous unexpected.
Okay. Unanticipated.
Fine. Proud!
Thank you!

@Nance, your BFH title is perfect. A tip of my virtual cap to you!

“You’re doing FINE! Your ability to say practically nothing over and over and over ad nauseam while repeating the same hackneyed sentiments is improving. Dawn, I’m PROUD of you. Some day you might even approach my level of boring platitude usage. Probably not, but you can try in your own haphazard way.”

The thought of being hugged by Mary fills me with dread and apprehension.

@Nance, had I been drinking my tea when reading your BFH title, the spit take would have been epic! Bravo.

Since Mary and Dawn are hugging it out in panel two, can we take that as signaling the end of this interminable episode? Pool party tomorrow? I’m pathetically optimistic.

Congrats, Dawn, that's more affection than Mary has ever shown to Jeff.

@Nance. Oh, my. Perfection.

Please let this be over. I love Mary's smug "Dawn, I'm proud of you". I'm proud too that she disappoint me by dumping a hunky Frenchman for an ugly nerd. Now let's check back in with Dawn, Wilboor and Estelle in 15 years.

Thank you, everyone. I've been remiss in my Thanks heretofore, and I apologize. I'm trying to limit my Online Time and find Other Things To Do.

I love that Mary is so proud of Dawn, whose track record with men has been, at the very least,
inappropriate, and at the worst, immoral. "Hey, Mary, I cheated on my boyfriend, but since he did, too, no biggie. I was also involved with a married man and was conflicted about what to do. Oh, and I dated my college professor, but we just didn't call it that."

"Dawn, I'm proud of you! You've adapted to life's unexpected outcomes."

I guess that having your feet fall off could be both an unexpected event AND a change.

I know that I'm looking forward to Dawn getting a decent haircut, now that salons are reopening. That would indeed be an unexpected event.

Anyone feel that Moy is phoning it in, since she's working at home just like she has all along?

Chester the Dog said...

What would be one of life's unexpected outcomes is Dawn shutting up about this silly situation, she acts like a 5th grader.

Thanks everyone for some truly guffaw-worthy comments! Now I want to see a pool party with attendees wearing pool noodles on their heads to ensure social distancing. A girl can dream.

That neck of Dawn's is like Pinocchio's nose. It keeps getting longer the more she lies to herself about Hugo and Jared.

Or maybe it's more like Alice's neck in "Alice in Wonderland." Except Alice had better hair.
