Mary Worth 3960

This is serious stuff. I shouldn't make any jokes about this kind of crime. But as Jess told her story, who among us did not think of this classic Mary Worth moment?

  1. Ahh, Mary and Broadway legend Ken Kensington meeting cute after Ken vanquished the Central Park Troll! Those were the days! The police officer with the teeny tiny notebook was such a special added touch by Mr. G. Thank you, Wanders!

    As for today’s far less dramatic illustrations, it appears that there is no Knuckles Bender after all! SOB!

    Here’s another Steve Maraboli quotation (per Google): “I want love, passion, honesty, and companionship…sex that drives me crazy and conversation that drives me sane.” Words never spoken by Mary to Dr. Jeff, nor by Jess to Jared.

  2. And KM dispenses with what could have been an interesting and meaningful plot line. All of us assumed it was domestic abuse. Kind of a sad commentary, isn’t it?

  3. Who did not think of that epic drama from 2013?
    Well...
    I happened to be up at 2am and am glad to say, remembered to credit you when posting it to Facebook.

  5. "My name is Mary Worth."

    COP: "I KNOW you! You're the legendary Santa Royale snoop!"

    [blush] "I live a quiet ordinary life now, but I'm still a world-class buttinsky. Any problems you want me to fix?"

    Sheesh, that mugger was really pathetic. He ought to find a new line of work. Crash-test dummy perhaps.

  6. Ah... The good old days. I miss Uncle Joe. I don't think Ken Kensington had the same face or hair two panels in a row, did he?

    And the mugger was supposed to be a teenager? Wow, he must have had a rough childhood.

    But Uncle Joe sure could draw a mighty fine blah blah bench.

    I must say that I'm very disappointed to find out Jess's injuries are the result of a boring mugging. Sorry, Knuckles, we hardly knew ye.

  7. Had Jared been there to protect Jess, we'd have to call him Jar Jarsington. I think I'll call him that anyway.

  8. I wonder if Moy is laughing in her coffee cup this morning, seeing as how she 'fooled' us all into thinking this was domestic abuse. Here we are wondering where the abusive partner is and where the sister is renting a house....meanwhile...do I hear tittering?

  9. Jess was so focused while walking in Folsom, she didn’t hear the train a-comin’.

  10. If Jess was mugged walking home, then why did she and Tess need to rent a place? I suppose the perp would know her address from digging through her handbag but what’s the likelihood that he’d do a home invasion? Maybe she kept photos of her priceless artwork and jewelry on her cellphone.

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.
