Mary Worth 3685

I'm hoping that Ashlee asks for $50,000, which is exactly the amount Drew's sister gave to her conman boyfriend.

In today’s first panel, Drew misses his chance to strongly suggest to Ashlee that she get a job so she can save $$$ to pursue her dream. What a pushover he is!

Fifty thousand is a nice round, easy to remember number, but the cost of pursuing dreams has increased in eleven years. I’m thinking Ashlee might hit him up for at least 75K. She didn’t even include earrings in her list. Go big or go home! (Jeff went big when he swapped his manly cabin in the woods for the Cory McMansion in the Missing Woods subdivision.)

“I need you to loan me money right up to the ceiling I’m staring at!”

“Of course, Ashlee. I’m give you whatever you need just as soon as the Nigerian Prince sends me the $15 million he promised!"

At least Ashlee conducts her scams in person, unlike Arther. (Even though they live in the same derelict trailer park.)

Ashlee, while you conning Drew into upgrading your hair and makeup and clothes that don't fall off your shoulders, please also upgrade those earrings.

Don't forget the cost of MMA lessons. Ashlee needs to improve her girl fight game if she's wants to eliminate her rivals.

Drew: How much do you need?

Ashlee: Well, I'm not sure. How much do you have?

Britney Spears appears in court today to ask to have her father removed as her conservator, now that she's in her 30's. I can't help noticing how similar Ashlee looks in today's strip to BS (that's Britney Spears. What were YOU thinking?!)

Join a gym? Really?

I hope a bird poops on Drew's head on the way home.

I think you’d better give her the cash, Drew. It appears that she’s about to throw that lighted candle in your face.

What on Earth makes him think that she's a reliable person to lend money to? Was it the first tantrum she had at his workplace? Or the second tantrum, where she fought another girl and ended up punching him in the face?

Say what you want about models, but I imagine they work pretty hard, not only on assignment but in having to keep themselves fit and beautiful at all times. Ashlee doesn't appear to be the work-pretty-hard type.

So don't be shy, Ash. Go big or go home. $50,000 minimum. As a loan, of course.

Tomorrow's strip: Drew flings the table over and screams, "Ashlee, Ashlee, you little fool! Do you honestly think I would fall for your grift? Especially since you stole my watch and then "returned" it so kindly? How stupid you must think me! Gendarmes, take away this wayward charlatan!"

Then he wakes up and gives Ashlee $50,000.

There seems to be a particularly high number of conman victims in Santa Royale: Wilbur (although he never seemed that bright), Estelle, and now perhaps Drew. The California EPA really needs to check the water supply in Santa Royale as people are making incredibly stupid decisions.

Wanders, thanks for the trip down memory lane. I don't know if it was the divorce that messed up Drew and Adrian, but something or someone sure stole some of their brain cells. Calling them gullible doesn't do idiocy justice.

KitKat said...

MissScarlet, the most alarming thing about Drew and Adrian is that they’re PHYSICIANS. Seeking medical treatment in Santa Royale is like playing Russian roulette.

Asking for money has got to be the worst, laziest grift I have ever seen — and I saw Wilbur grifted with salsa lessons, so it isn’t like the bar was set that high.

Trashlee: “Dang, if I’d known he’d not even blink at five thousand, I’d have asked for fifty!”

Once again, how is someone this moronic allowed out on his own, let alone become a doctor?
