Mary Worth 4027

Oh, Dawn... that's what you said before you met Jared, and Hugo, and Dr. Fletcher, and Professor Harlan, and Jim, and Drew, and Dave.

Mary’s kitchen is filled with size-shifting items. The tiny plates turned into dinner plates, and yesterday’s 9 x 13 pan has turned into a box that’s a little larger than Mary’s hands. Mary magic?

Dawn should transfer to SRCc, where she might meet Cal, easily pass Toby’s drawing class, and not encounter mean Helen Moss.

"…but on the other hand, Dawn, don't forget that any woman over 16 without a man is a sad ugly unlovable loser. It's an ironclad law of the universe. Why do you think I keep Dr Jeff around?"

Although the continuation of this counseling session this week was completely unnecessary, it's still better than anything directly involving the fat man. So blather on, Mary, blather on.

Now that she's beeing strong and happy on her own and getting this “Mastering Life” thing down, Dawn may even be able to find time to get in a least one shift at that Computer Lab job she was supposed to be working all summer. (Of course, it won't be long til someone there will remind her of Dave).

Wanders, after looking over the Lucky Girl retrospective in your link, I was struck by the fact that Armless Jim really reminds me of Dave as well. Except for missing an arm, of course. And I really love Dawn's remarkably fishlike expression in that panel as Jim confronts her. I think it'd be a fun and cheeky move if June would start to recycle Giella era art from time to time, to really mix things up.

She's got her dad? Wasn't the whole point of this pointless story that she didn't want to turn into her dad?

Considering all those names, it's clear that Dawn has had more s-e-x than anyone else in this strip. You think she'd be more relaxed about a breakup with Jar Jar. On to the next conquest!

This is the point where Mary leans in close and says “Don’t forget, Dawn — you will die alone.

Anonymous @ 6:48 pm - Honestly, if I were Dawn, I wouldn’t worry too much about the whole dying thing. I mean, she’s remained 20 years old for at least 30 years.
