You know who else was a busy doctor as a child? This guy:

The score after today’s round: Wanders a big 1, Karen Moy 0. KM deserves a second 0 for dragging Ashlee’s father out of the Moy Big Bag O’ Hackneyed Plot Devices.

Jeff didn’t have time for his son when Drew was growing up, so 40-year-old Drew is living with dear old dad to make up for lost time? They’re a regular Andy and Opie .

Drew is clearly living out his childhood via food. All he ever seems to eat are burgers and fries.

meg said...

That’s supposed to be a fry in Drew’s hand? I could have sworn he was holding a blunt.

Better be careful Moy. The folks at Netflix might sue you for copying Ozark if this goes much further.

With all the "Babe"s being thrown around the past few days, I thought I was watching Michael Scott and Jan Levinson talking to each other.

I'm also curious to know what kind of car he's driving that has 100MPH at the top of the dial. How fast does that car go???

Darth Curt said...

Ok... i was curious. He could be driving a 69 Ford Mustang. That would match, except it's missing the Mustang drawing under the 100. And it's probably stolen, so i guess that tracks.

As you were.

He's doing 120. If the speedometer is in km/hr, that means he's only going about 75 mph. I wonder what the police are actually stopping him for . . . ?

You guys are terrible! Everyone assumes that it’s the bad guy who is Ashlee’s father. Maybe her mother died when she was young and her dad had to work all kinds of overtime hours as a Highway Patrolman to support her and her seven siblings. Yeah, right…

Hey Darth Curt – when you looked up the 69 Mustang, did it have the rearview mirror mounted directly over the speedometer?

p.s. Nicely done, Wanders. I didn’t see that one coming!

Wow, never thought I'd say this about MW, especially after the interminable 'dogs are good' slog, but here we are, wildly lurching from one plot development to the next

Today Ashlee's Daddee makes an appearance. What's his deal?

And what about the big photo shoot p.r. campaign? Did Ashlee like the photos? Did anyone else? How does Drew's Insta account get noticed by modeling agencies? What's Ashlee doing to get her story out?

And did she hock the watch yet? How much did she get for it? Has Drew mentioned that he lost it? It would be funny if she didn't notice that his name is engraved on the back, which leads the pawnbroker to call the cops and have her arrested.

If Moy dreams big she can turn this into a Black Widow story. Drew marries Ashlee then he tragically falls off a cliff during their honeymoon.
But I fear it will be another Mary-saves-the-day story.

I do love that scene in the rearview mirror. It appears both Ashlee's father and the cops who are chasing him are being followed by floating orbs like this guy. https://abc7chicago.com/ghost-orb-caught-on-video-proof-ghosts-are-real-daytona-beach-spirits/7388159/

At least Drew is holding his French fry as a normal human being would. Yesterday somebody on Comics Kingdom pointed out that nobody holds one as Ashlee was doing (as if it were a pointer). This made me notice the patron passing by in the background, supporting his fully laden tray with his left hand under one corner while his right elbow is bent at such an angle that his right hand couldn't possibly be helping with the unbalanced load. Can't wait to see June's take on how Drew handles a scalpel.

Cut the cra-, er, chat, and ask her about the Rolex!

KitKat said...

Wanders and all, your attention to detail is admirable! It prompted me to take another look today. Ashlee seems to have aged about ten years from yesterday, and Drew’s hair is beset by cowlicks. Maybe the fat and sodium from the burgers and fries is catching up with him.

June apparently thinks women are forever stuck with one earring style. Mary always wears demure studs, and Ashlee wears giant hoops with beads no matter the occasion. Do they only own one pair of earrings?

hmmm said...

KitKat - the single pair of earrings? All the better to be able to re-use old panels with, my dear.

kanomi said...

Ashlee's father is Carl Showalter (Steve Buscemi) in Fargo, I'm sticking to this theory as my first post on the MWAM blog.

I cannot believe that Mary Worth — our Mary Worth! — could possibly be involved with a man like Dr. Jeff, whose parenting skills thirty (30) years ago have clearly resulted in his son getting his watch, heart, and other jewelry stolen by an endless parade of thieving skanks. It’s Dr. Jeff’s fault, the whole inter-generational-doctors-living-together thing is mucho creepy, and Mary deserves better.

Seriously, let’s skip to the end already and make this all about Mary, Mary Worth, whose strip this is, that’s her name of the marquee, baby, and don’t you forget it.
