Mary Worth 4136

I don't think he has anything in purple or pink. Oh, man. This line is a great gift to start the year on. I join with Mary in wishing blessings to each one of you for a happy new year.

To celebrate New Year’s Day, Mary pours herself a heaping mug of her famous thermonuclear coffee.

Marriage is the right next step for everyone but Mary and Jeff. He can wear black to both the wedding and “party” (it’s not the reception?). Jeff will plan to spend as much time as possible at the bar. And how can the festivities be in only a few days? Iris hasn’t even found a wedding planner yet.

Wishing a happy and peaceful new year to Wanders, his family, and our merry band of Worthiverse friends!

That pie looks like it's giving up the ghosts of berries past.

Yes, by all means, you must coordinate colors with Jeff. Otherwise, people might talk.

"Jeff, dear, what are you wearing."

"Uh, I don't know. One of my suits I guess."

"Which one?"

"I don't know. I haven't thought about it."

"What color suits do you have?"

"Gray."

"And what else?"

"Just gray."

"I'm sorry, Jeff, that won't do. You and I are going to visit your haberdasher today."

"Can't. Big game on today."

"JEFFREY, I SAID we are going to buy you a new suit TODAY!"

"Aw, #$%@&!"

Someone, please tell Mary that this is a wedding, not the Junior Prom. I suppose she can drag Jeff down to the mall where Eve nearly fainted at the sight of a necktie. One of the mannequins was wearing a purple suit with a pink, polka-dot tie. Yes, I know, that was nearly two years ago (unless we're in Auntie June time*) but I think it's likely still there.

Wow. An Oprah quotation and pie instead of muffins—although I suspect the pie is filled with muffin batter. I’m looking forward to the wedding, too. I’m looking forward to it being over, and Iris and Zak disappearing into that Bourne From Whence None E’er Return.

I hope the next story arc involves Wilber getting an invitation to the wedding, having a big hissy fit about Iris getting married while he’s all alone and making a drunken spectacle of himself at the wedding. Or, better yet, breaking up the ceremony by banging on the window and shouting “IRIS!!!” like Dustin Hoffman in “The Graduate”.

does mary eat the whole pie by herself if no one comes over for advice ?

Mary has two dresses — a black one, left over from Aldo’s funeral, and a white one made of lace that comes with a veil for some reason. Which would you choose?

I’m waiting.

Happy New year to you and family, Wanders, and to all my rowdy friends here at MW&M.

Sure looks to me like Mary managed to get one more facelift in before 2022 crawled off into the sunset.

Will Mary choose the dress with the hoop skirt or the one with the bustle?

A very Happy New Year to the Wanders family, and to all my MW&M pals!

Happy New Year to the Worthyverse crew. Thanks Wanders for your dedication and humor. Thanks to everyone else for the things you do to make us smile.
