Mary Worth 4068

Now, come on, Iris. What happened to "Together, we can do anything"? And all of your strength training? And especially, "Where you go, I go, Zak dear." That last one is the only foreshadowing I am still interested in.

We missed a panel between Sunday and Monday that showed how Zak fell off the edge but managed to turn and grab a stalk right below. Good grief. Iris will overcome her fears by Thursday and will pull Zak up on Friday. On Saturday a hiking clergyman will happen to pass by, and the revitalized lovebirds will ask him to perform a marriage ceremony on the spot. The End.

Sarge: HELP!

Beetle Bailey: I can’t reach you, Sarge. Sorry it had to end this way.

Moy samples Mort Walker.

Oh, for Nan’s sake! Helen Clarke absolutely called this one yesterday (although he’s somehow swinging from a tropical vine instead of perched on a ledge).

Iris, if only you’d accepted his proposal you could use your engagement ring as a makeshift carabiner!

The correct Iris quote is “I’m happy with the way things are, aren’t you?”

moy story lines usually go on a couple months. it was only a couple weeks ago they were having hamburger gravy so i wonder what nonsense she is planning .

The gymnastics required to pull off that back flip and grab the vine is remarkable. Jackie Chan may have been able to do it, but Zak? Not so much.

You would think Moy would save the cliff-hanger strip until Saturday.

Thanks for the shout out, Dr. Cameron, but Zak appears to be in more of a precarious position than I'd anticipated. Of course, it's tough to tell what's beneath him as Auntie June continues to keep us in the dark, at the bottom of the cliff.

Anyway, if it does turn out that Zak is about to drop off into oblivion, my advice to Iris would be to get a running start and do a Thelma and Louise before it happens. She'll never be able to forgive herself or forget the sight of Zak's hamburger gravy splattered all over the rocks.

How much you want to bet there's no more than a five foot drop to the ground under Zak.

Realistically, if she grabbed Zak, his mass would likely drag her down too, thus killing them both (assuming it's a major drop downward). He's always drawn as being much bigger than her, and no amount of strength training is going to fix that.

Of course, from the way he fell, it's unrealistic that he'd be able to grab that branch, which would probably be torn out from his mass anyway.

We all known that she's going to save him, but I wonder if he will acknowledge that his cliffside can-can dance ended up endangering her as well in the end, and was thus completely stupid?

Where’s Katie Hoosier when you need her?
