“I didn’t realize veterinary work was so challenging! I thought you mainly did what I do - talk to my fur kids all the time and sing together at the piano.” It’s just as we thought: Estelle is as dumb as a box of rocks.
This is par for the course for KM. Something drifts by her consciousness, say an item about overwhelming stress in the veterinary profession, and she concocts a ridiculous plot that trivializes a serious subject.
If Estelle had been some random person Ed ran into on, say, a public bus, I can see his applauding her listening skills. She invited you over for dinner, Ed. I think she was planning to listen to WHATEVER you were going to talk about. Next up: the advantages of cats wearing harnesses over collars and leashes when forced to go for a walk by clueless owners..
When this dinner ends some time next week, I am fearful it will include a kiss, witnessed by three smiling animals. I might throw up now and get it over with.
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.
Steven learned to be a whino from his uncle Ed.

Don't cut the cheese Dr Ed!
ReplyDeleteThis strip is sufficiently cheesy already.
ReplyDeleteEstelle: "I didn't realize veterinary work was so challenging!"
ReplyDeleteEd: "Yes, it can be."
Estelle: "Well, I suppose some people are very easily challenged. But not my late husband, Jimmy. Now HIS was a challenging job!"
Ed: "You've never talked much about your husband. What was his last name again?"
Estelle: "Hoffa."

ReplyDeleteShe looks like she's drinking a glass of blood.
ReplyDeleteWanders, I agree she's dumb - but no cheese. Everyone has cheese. Even my vegan nephew has cheese (vegan, of course)!
