Someone's going to have to kick Scottie McW. He's fallen asleep again.
Sorry, Scottie McW., but hold off on that attitude of gratitude. Zak gave his sappy, cringey, copied-off-the-internet vows after he said "I do" so I expect we'll see Iris giving hers tomorrow. On second thought, go back to sleep. We'll wake you up for the Awards ceremony.
Prediction for tomorrow’s strip: (art entirely recycled from today but flipped 180 degrees in Adobe Illustrator) Rev Freeman: “Do you, Zakkary, take Iris for your LAWFUL WIFE, to have and to hold, from this day forward…” Zak: “Um.. I already..” Helen Moss (bursting through stained glass window): “Isn’t he a little young for you Irene? I’m reporting you to SCHOOL MANAGEMENT!!!”
I dunno, I feel like there's something foreshadowing about "for richer or for poorer"... does anyone think Zak's major investments into cryptocurrency might come back to haunt him (and his marriage) in 2023?
@ Maggie, if 2023 is the plight of Iris and her wonky thyroid working two jobs to support her son and husband while they loaf on the sofa all day, well, that will sure be something.
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.
All right, in today’s panel 1, who else read “lawful husband” as “awful husband”?
ReplyDeletePerhaps what we assume is stubble on Zak’s face is a skin condition. Is there a dermatologist in the church?
I find it a little ominous that the Rev. Freeman emphasizes “death” so strongly.

ReplyDeleteWhat, no sappy, cringey, copied-off-the-internet vows from Iris?
We are all grateful.

You know, I have a faint suspicion that Irene and Yak are getting married. Possibly the next couple of weeks will clarify things further.

ReplyDelete@Helen -- OMG, you're right! I've committed premature celebration. I dread tomorrow. I might as well sleep through that too.
-- S. McW.
Not to worry, Scottie McW. I've nodded off at a few actual weddings, myself.

How nice that they got Morgan Freeman to cameo as the preacher.
