Mary Worth 627

From yesterday's strip:

And today, perhaps the oddest piece of Mary Worth continuity ever: The chair in the hall facing the wall.

Okay, I admit it... it's the only piece of Mary Worth continuity ever.

Wonderful. But what's motivating this sudden case of dwarfism?

And here Adrian was expecting to endure a lengthy recovery with Scott. She must be very disappointed. Never underestimate the power of face touching.

Since no one can come up with a diagnosis, I wouldn't hold out for a prognosis. I mean, really, what diagnosis have we heard? He was in a shoot out. He lost a lot of blood. "Vital areas" were spared. "It could have been worse," which translates roughly into, "He isn't dead yet." But perhaps Dr. Good and the nurse are simply using language they know Dr. Corey can understand.

It also appears that someone may have surgically stitched a hand to Scott's right hip. But it isn't likely, since I doubt Dr. Good has that much skill as a surgeon. The best he's been able to do is put a Band-Aid on Scott's neck, hook his brain up to a bottle, and wrap something around his head that looks like he was tended to at the Battle of Gettysburg. Fortunately, Dr. Corey will be monitoring Scott's condition. We can all rest easy now.

Of course, Eva, who decided to completely neglect her patients, may have some concerns that her patients are now being completely neglected by Adrian.

I was reading comments made this morning before I had the chance to write this post, and while Adrian deals with this extremely surprising bit of news, I feel the need to explain to many of you who Dr. Brian Good is, since everybody thought it was some kind of pun about his qualifications as a doctor, which of course it isn't. Before Aldo Kelrast, and long before I started blogging, there was Anna Tieg. Anna connected on the Interwebs with her old high school boyfriend, Brian Good. Anna flushed every time she thought about this stud, but she knew he was married. It was good ol' Mary Worth who suggested that Anna start writing to Brian. Well, before you knew it, Brian revealed that he and his wife were getting a divorce. Whether Anna prompted his decision, I'm not sure. Soon, true love blossomed in very sickening ways, and he and Anna were married. They even made a recent appearance at a pool party with their spawn. So you decide whether you think Dr. Good is good or not. Right now, I'm thinking even he won't be good enough to save Scott Hewlett. Maybe Adrian will start sending emails to Dr. Good after Scott dies, and Dr. Good can get another divorce.

I don't want to give you the entire story, but here are the simple words Mary used at the 2004 Pool Party to "nudge" divorcée Anna Tieg when she first hooked up online with her old high school boy friend Brian who she knew was now married:

And the rest, as they say, is history. Mary Worth: Home-wrecker.

After nearly an entire year of effort, Mary failed to get Vera and Drew together. But at least she can claim credit for making that baby.

People expressed some surprise about the Charterstone Pool Party guests yesterday. For those of you who have never attended a Charterstone Pool Party before, there are a few rules of which you should be aware:

• You must make a new friend (you will meet someone new).
• No swimming.
• No swimsuits.
• Especially no swimsuits if you are a woman in your 20s.
• Dress is business casual, although a tuna fish t-shirt is also acceptable.

And a new rule of which I was not aware until this morning: Babies are allowed, but only if they have gigantic 18 pound heads.
