How thoughtful of Tommy to throw all the single overripe, banged-up, blackened bananas into a bag and bring them to Mary. It’s truly the gift that keeps on giving.
Nance, I’m amazed at your continuing ability to be both topical and hilarious. Brilliant!
Scottie McW., “Marypraise” should be added to the MW & Me lexicon. Does that meet with your approval, Wanders? (I confess, when I first glanced at it, I read it as “Mayonnaise.”)
Mary's thinking, and just when I'd gotten rid of the Tommy stench from the last time he was here. He brought you some banana bread from the store. Got to be better than the cardboard you passed off on me the last time I was here.
Happy to see a nod to the season with Mary's Christmas tree. I imagine the story conference between KM and JB. "C'mon. You shut out any ideas of addressing life under COVID. You got to at least give me a Christmas tree or a Menorah or something for Kwanza to draw into the strip." KM: "Oh, OK. But no sneaking any Santa ornaments with masks into the illustration. I really hate those."
NOOOOOO!!! Mary! For the love of Moy, don’t open the bag! That doesn’t say FredA’s. It says FredO’s. And we all know FredO sleeps with the fishes....The question is: FredO’s WHAT? (It ain’t banana bread. I’m just sayin’.)
Fauxprof, I figure the “Use by” date on that salmon is from the second Clinton administration. What a memorable New Year’s Eve it’ll be when Mary serves her classic salmon squares!
I will be bigly disillusioned if Mary doesn't chuck that thing right in the garbage the second Tommy leaves. I prefer to believe that she prepares her salmon squares from fresh salmon flown in daily from Alaska to her boutique grocer.
Don't be shy! I'd love to hear what you have to say about Mary Worth. Just keep it clean, that's all I ask. This is a FAMILY FRIENDLY blog. I don't want to moderate comments, but I will if I have to.
Tommy: "Hi Mary. I got you a gift."
ReplyDeleteMary: "No, Tommy. You "bought" me a gift. There's no such word as "got."

ReplyDeleteGroan, some of you guys called it -- it's victory lap week. So let's all settle in for heaping helpings of Marypraise and platters of platitudes.

ReplyDeletehe changed his shirt finally .also its from his work the gift he probably stole it
ReplyDeleteCongrats, meg!
ReplyDeleteFish it is.
You might want to check the expiration date on that salmon, Mary.

ReplyDeleteI am completely open to being wrong on this, but isn't a package of lunch meat an unusual thing to give as a present?
ReplyDeleteI distinctly remember that Mary used canned salmon for her salmon squares. Nothing as good as smoked salmon.
