Mary Worth 3562

Beyond the confusion caused by Saul's pants saying that he's prepared salmon, and Eve's pants calling Max a girl, I want to better understand Santa Royale's obsession with salmon. It seems to be everywhere. It's almost as if there are just three food groups: Seafood, greasy diner food, and muffins.

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled

"Is That Sustainable, Wild-Caught, or Farm-Raised?".

Look forward!
Baked salmon.
Perfect!
Woof!

"Greta and I look forward to eating with you." Sheesh, this conversation is so stilted it could dress up like Uncle Sam and get a job at the circus.

Good catch on the misattributed dialogue, Wanders. I completely missed that. Maybe neither character wanted to take responsibility for speaking such dreck and kept tossing it back and forth like a hot potato.

@Wanders--Pretty solid gaffe in today's strip. Along with Eve's shrinking dog, things are getting sloppy in Santa Royale. WOOF!

1. 4th food group in Santa Royale: awkwardly held pizza

2. Maybe there's so much "salmon" around town lately because someone had to dispose of a large amount of meat that was making their life difficult. Someone from Philadelphia.

Add me to the people who missed the misattributed dialoguee today, Sharp eyes, Wanders! Is June bored as heck (get in lime, June!), or is she pranking KM? I did note that Saul is wearing the same clothes that were in yesterday's MW & Me, including the flashback to Grumpy Saul. I wonder if Saul sleeps in that get up, including the bow tie.

Does banana btrad constitute a food group of its own, or can we add it to muffins and rename the category "suspicious, lumpy, unappetizing baked goods"? And what is Eve serving for dessert? Smoked salmon a la mode?

Between the misaligned dialogue balloons and the incredible shrinking Max, I too was given to muse over KM’s obsession with salmon. Is it her favorite food? Is she promoting it as a healthy alternative? Or does she consider salmon to be, somehow, “classy”? Hey, you want to impress me with classy? Fresh, homemade pizza margherita will do it.

You're wrong that the pants are speaking. If Saul's pants could talk, they would probably just scream all the time.

Yeah, right, what's with all the salmon? I don't know why but I've always assumed that Charterstone was in Santa Royale, California. Maybe it's actually located in the other Santa Royale; the one in Alaska.

Jerry Smith @1:13: Saul’s pants: “Jeez, Saul, for the love of Mike, would it kill you to change us once in a while? Doesn’t it bother you when Max barks excitedly when he hears you coming? There’s a reason for that, pal. Is that a kipper in your pocket, or are you just glad to...never mind.”

"Party in my Pants"

There's a party in my pants and you're invited,
A big fiesta in my trousers and I'm excited,
I'm so happy my lil' cupcake and I can't hide it,
There's a party in my pants and you're invited.
I'm sick and tired of being sad and broke an busted,
I'm takin' leave of my troubles today,
I never think you don't wanna get shattered,
But tonight we're gonna roll the blues away.
There's a party in my pants and you're invited,
A big fiesta in my trousers and I'm excited,
I'm so happy my lil' cupcake and I can't hide it,
There's a party in my pants and you're invited!
If you're tired of knock knock jokes and conversation,
Crank up the radio and kill the vibe,
And let's get on with this celebration,
We're gonna party in my britches tonight.
Oh, There's a party in my pants and you're invited,
A big fiesta in my trousers and I'm excited,
I'm so happy my lil' cupcake and I can't hide it,
There's a party in my pants and you're invited!
There's a party in my pants an you're invited.

What about emotional support casseroles? However, Mary may make them with a mix of salmon and greasy diner food with muffin crumbles on top.
