Mary Worth 3591

The pit of despair is real.

Could the laying on of hand in Panel 2 FINALLY be the inevitable start of a human plot?

I doubt it, Downpuppy. Saul probably intended to pat Eve's head (like he does Greta's) but he's too short to reach it.

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled

"It's Never Too Late To Get One".

Uh-oh, affectionate physical contact! Right now it's just at the level where Mary puts the brakes on Jeff, but this could get more serious. Fast forward to the dogs serving as ring-bearers.

Another top-notch BFH title, Nance!

I see Saul and Eve have taken their dogs on a field trip to the Labrea Tar Pits..

Nance, you’ve perfectly distilled what all of us are thinking.

I realize that Max’s devotion was a lifeline for Eve in her self-described “difficult” marriage, and that’s she grateful for her dog, but this is crossing into obsession. At some point, she and Max will be separated. Unless she goes first, how will she manage that? Give it a rest, KM! You’ve made your point over and over and over!

Panel 1: Either Eve changed from a pair of slacks to a mid-calf skirt, or she thinks a flood is coming.

Ugh. They're not going to ... kiss, or something, are they? Gross!

Thanks, @KitKat and @Scottie. I wonder if I'm purposely being given only one- and two-word boldface panels to work with. LOL.

Can we all agree that KM's message with this "plot" is that Dogs=Good, and that's it? I suppose since she's ignored the entire pandemic, she had to glom onto one thing, albeit late as usual, and that thing is the pet adoption trend. She's undoubtedly envisioning this as a PSA for rescuing dogs along with domestic abuse and now, therapy animals. I say she's tossed in a whole bunch of stuff as a sort of Secret Ingredient red herring, and we'll be wrapping up here in no time.

(Sigh. I dream a dream.)
