Nan, do you realize you're talking outloud? Given that you don't know anybody here -- Are Zak's parents here? -- who are you talking to? Wait a minute... Is that? Could it be? Yes! It's the corpse of Apple Mary!

It looks like Dawn is going to need some more clarity.

I dated a lot of different women before I met Mrs. Wanders. I would say I am more on the Jared end of the spectrum than I am on the Hugo end. And never ever have I dated a woman who spent the date staring at other guys. Dawn, I don't know what kind of person you are, but you surprise me. You're almost as bad as a man!

This is just like when Toby was a student dating her professor, Ian Cameron.

From Funny Foreground Character, to Toby's Glory Days, there's just so much to love today. But what I love most, is Cal's continuous use of "Ms. C." It just reminds me so much of the hit ABC sitcom, Happy Days, starring Henry Winkler as the Fonz and Marion Ross as Mrs. Cunningham. Enjoy this sweet compilation video:

A couple of years ago a brony was a last minute nominee and handedly won a Worthy Award, but now it just feels like pandering... even if it is Princess Twilight Sparkle, my favorite of the Pegasi.

I didn't notice this before, but Brony has a serious case of mange that he's trying to cover with a combover. Those Santa Ana winds can be a real social buzzkill.

This entire story just became about the My Little Pony guy. In fact, the entire meaning of life just became about the My Little Pony guy.

What?! Even after the condo board's extensive signage campaign??

And they will be together forever because now they are ZOMBIES!

I'm almost positive that Empleado de Joyería is another one of Fabiana's cousins. She's very good at drumming up business for the family.

I love crossover characters in the comics! In panel 1, Li'l Orphan Grandma; and in panel 2, I'm not sure who that is, but he appears to be some sort of Dick Tracy villain.

Dude, you got to stop asking her out in person. Twenty-five-year-old guys just don't. You've got her number - text her. Those guys at the table are enjoying a perfectly normal conversation with each other using Snapchat.

I am thankful for today's classic dialog. The fact that Mary is in New York City for the sole purpose of spending time with Olive, and even living with her, makes today's Moyisms even more Moyish than usual. I love that they are actually already on a local outing when she asks. I am excited by the vagueness of the number of weekends Mary plans to stay, and the suggestion that Mary plans to spend every moment Olive is out of school on the town with her.

Just for fun, I ran Mary's sentence through Google Translate a few times and then back into English, and it came up with, "Olive, what should we do for fun while I'm visiting you?"

Two years ago, on Thanksgiving, Mary was also in New York City, enjoying her post-mugging lunch:

It reminds me that I never reported on my experience in our local community production of Footloose. I'll just say, it was a defining role for me, and truthfully, the time of my life. So glad I let my neighbor convince me to audition, even though I hadn't done anything like it for 18 years. Now I can't wait to do it again!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Well, today is the day that the entire Worthiverse has been waiting for. It was recently leaked that there would be a Mary Worth crossover with another comic strip, and today we learn it is the Phantom!

Of course, I don't read the Phantom, so I really could not care less.

"You are Mary Worth, right? I dreamed last night that I was to text a remarkable child named Olive when I picked you up, and let her know you are on your way."

It's that crazy magician student, levitating his homework again. Sure it's impressive, but nobody likes a kiss up.

Speaking of college, we took our son to college last week. We flew out to California, and spent three weeks visiting family in three different states, then dropped him off, and I drove back in a used car I bought (a regular car, not a peanut mobile). We took a few photographs of our wonderful country. Please enjoy:

I'm kind of into roadside attractions.

I'm glad to see that the students at The University have not forgotten how to dress for a lecture. Suit and tie. Always. I am reassured knowing that the Santa Royale sense of fashion propriety has not been dimmed. I am certain that everyone has dressed appropriately for the fancy opening at the gallery.

It may seem strange, but Iris and Tommy have the same shared memory of a 1950's prisoner bropping the floor under the menacing glare of an armed guard who insists on tracking his dirty shoes across the wet floor. Clearly, they both hate housekeeping.

I feel an obligation to point out this little gem in the lower corner of panel one:

Be careful. It might be some kind of phishing scam. If Mary Worth has taught me anything, it is that the Internet is not to be trusted.
