"Sometimes the English language is inadequate. There's just no way to fully describe the contrasts using different combinations of words. Let me simply illustrate with a visual representation by holding my tea cup in the most inhuman way possible."
If they feel complete together, it's because they each have only half a brain. I imagine Zak's money is a bit part of why he makes Iris feel complete too.
Mary is using the special teacups she made in ceramic class. She can judge how closely her guests are listening to her advice by whether or not they notice she attached the cup handles horizontally instead of vertically.
It all makes sense now! As Mary aptly stated, often one change will bring about other changes, and as Iris pointed out there are also other contrasts to bear in mind.
You see, in addition to being shaken by the contrast between the near-fatal incident at Picadee Falls and the fact that (like Wilbur's incident) it was not actually fatal, Iris was so shaken by the contrast between her previous married state, juxtaposed with her current unmarried state, which was additionally a contrast when referring to Zak's inexperience with matrimony (in contrast to his own ongoing unmarried state, together with his expressed desire to bring about a change in state towards a new state which alleviated said inexperience with matrimony), that she rethought her stance on not wanting to marry Zak!
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.
Mary and Iris are bonding so well, it makes me wonder whether Mary will invite Iris and Zak to her Thanksgiving dinner this year.

I'm speechless.

Mary sounds like a robot here.

Iris is suddenly looking like the Succubus episode of South Park.

Panel 2 is from the perspective of a stalking Wilbur.
ReplyDelete“Actually, I mean the differences between our incomes.”
ReplyDeleteFunny how everyone got invited to this wedding except Mary.
I can't help editing the wordy and awkward Mary Worth... "Do you mean you've been married before and Zak hasn't?". There, I feel better already.

Masterfully expressed, Ms Moy.
Iris: "No, you idiot, I mean I am divorced while Zak has flitted from one girl to the next, leaving them when he got tired of them."
ReplyDeleteIris: "I was married in California, Mary. You know that."
ReplyDeleteMary: *Sigh* "You and Zak will make a fine couple, dear."
