Text dumped. It's okay... Shauna still loves you, Drew.
P.S., I came home from work late last night to discover I had forgotten to press "publish" on yesterday morning's post. Today is like a single admission double-header.
I figure today’s doubleheader will be seven innings each, Wanders.
If there was a Worthy Award for best secret message, today’s would knock all other nominees out of the park. Outstanding! Take a well-deserved bow, Wanders!
Yes, Ashlee, it’s been real. Just fill in the blank after “real” with a variety of words, e.g., “silly,” “unbelievable,” “dull,” “inadvertently hilarious,” etc. BTW, is that your leg or Shauna’s outside the window?
Thanks, Wanders. Drew dumped via text? Well, maybe it is payback for cancelling a date via text. I wonder if the next step will be to track down Ashlee, or will he go for Shauna? HelenClark- you seem to be able to predict the storyline. What's next?
@Bill: You can't see them on a phone. Use a computer and hover over the day's panel with your mouse cursor. (Don't click, just hover.) The secret message will appear.
So Ashlee is going to leave and Drew can find a nice girl or go back to Shauna. A question about the plot, don't scammers often operate with fake I.D.s and even change their appearance between scams so that they aren't recognized? But Ashlee was going to scam Drew in her hometown, where Shauna knew Ashlee from high school. Presumably a number of other people still live in Santa Royale who went to Santa Royale High or worked there at the time that Ashlee was there and could identify Ashlee who also is still going by her original name. She's not only a scammer, but a really dumb scammer.
@Bill, I can’t see the secret messages on my iPhone with the Safari Browser, but I can on my iPhone with the Chrome browser. Don’t click the image, just gently hold a finger on it for a second or two.
Bill the Butcher and TimK, I can see the secret messages on my iPhone. I lightly touch the image from the MW strip that Wanders posted, and the “copy” etc. box opens, with the secret message at the top.
Wool Worth, Ashlee and Shauna’s surnames have not been revealed by KM. (Was thinking up surnames too much effort? Sheesh.) Maybe they are so well known, or notorious, that their first name suffices.
Huh?! She's skipping town? No theatrics, no modelling career? No way even dopey Drew buys that she got a fabulous out of town job. I hate it when comics imply some outcome rather than just spilling the guts of the characters. I'm not about to assume that Ashlee is bowing out of Drew's life for some altruistic reason. Why do I get a feeling she will be back after she has examined her past and made amends, blah, blah, blah? No thanks, KM, for a lazy plot twist. Now we'll have a weekend of Drew staring vacantly at the filthy curtains in the Peoples' Clinic while Jeff and Mary fret about him over a dinner of Kelp Strangled Tilapia at the Bum Boat.
Ha ha… Thanks, Thunderheels! You give me way too much credit!
What I’d like to see happen is that by some strange twist of fate, Ashlee really has found her dream job! She has been offered huge sums of money to model shoes and boots for a footwear manufacturer. It’s win/win… The company saves money by having to hire only one model because no one can tell from looking at her feet, whether she’s male or female!
What would make sense is that Drew finally realizes that these wild, age-inappropriate chicks are just not working out for him. Entering the lobby of the hospital tomorrow, he will run smack dab into the gorgeous, red-headed, glasses wearing, professional woman that Mary has shoved into his path.
So, I guess what we can expect to happen is that Drew will somehow manage to find Ashlee. She will be a mess, crying her little heart out, knowing that although she’s changed and has now abandoned her life of crime, she’s done the right thing by releasing the only man she will ever truly love. They will get married and move to Goleta and we will never see them again. Yeah… that has to be it. When presented with the opportunity to create something at least mildly interesting, KM always tosses that and delivers another round of sappy schlock.

KitKat - I do believe KM gave Ashlee "Jones" as a surname. LouiseF - Kelp Strangled Tilapia - I love it!
HelenClark, I forgot that Ashlee introduced herself as Ashlee Jones - thanks. That was so long ago, she was still employed at the Good Grub Diner.
Your scenarios are wonderful. We will have to use our imaginations to visualize them, because we are stuck with KM. Maybe Ashlee could find success as an earring model.
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.
I figure today’s doubleheader will be seven innings each, Wanders.

Where are these secret messages?
DeleteIt's been real! Real what?
ReplyDeleteStupid?
Infuriating?
Unprofitable?
(Well, apart from those.)

ReplyDeleteThanks. I rarely use my laptop for surfing the net - that's for other work, like writing- but I'll check from it.

ReplyDeleteAshlee arrives in North Carolina only to discover that there is no ACME Products, Inc. Putting on her make-up, Shauna giggles.

ReplyDeleteFrank S, thanks for clarifying regarding Chrome vs. Safari.
ReplyDeleteThat was a disappointing end to this. (Except the secret message - that was funny).
