Mary Worth 3960

This is serious stuff. I shouldn't make any jokes about this kind of crime. But as Jess told her story, who among us did not think of this classic Mary Worth moment?

Well no wonder there was almost an accident. Two green lights. Wake up Mayor de Blasio, get the lights of 42nd Street back online!

It's easy to love New York when you have a heroic Broadway legend protecting you from every mugger and giant flying taxi in town.

Mary is mesmerized, as are we all, by Ken's yellow toupee and its remarkable tenacity for staying adhered to his scalp in this biting wind.

Don't forget, just a few more days to vote for the 2013 Worthy Awards!

The Museum of Natural History is like Mary's kitchen, ever shifting and changing. In panel one, Ken and Mary are clearly standing in front of a skinny-necked bambiraptor, and in panel two, it has changed into a one-legged gasosaurous. Ha ha ha ha. Okay. I'm a dino-nerd. Sorry.

Mary Worth 1750


Let me see if I have the chronology correct here:
  • First date: Mugging and lunch at Benedetto's.
  • Second date: Photo exhibit at New York Public Library to "create a certain mood," a walk in the park, and pizza for lunch.
  • Third date: Christmas party at the Haven.
  • Fourth date: Watch ice skaters, visit Museum of Natural History, then ask her to abandon her life and move in with you.
I think I have that right. It's hard to be so attractive, isn't it Mary? In fact, I think today she's done all she can to make herself as hideous as possible to discourage Mr. Banana Head.

Do you know what I remember? I remember that Mary Worth was an accomplished skater who still enjoys the freedom of the ice. If Ken Kensington doesn't get her out on that ice now, he will miss out on the perfect opportunity to win Mary's heart.

If you haven't voted for the Worthy Awards, please do so. And if you figure out a way to vote twice, no one is going to say anything. By the way, the Condo Committee got a call from Ken Kensington's publicist about omitting him from the ballot. Apocalyptic doesn't quite describe the fury, but suffice it to say, he's been added. So all you Nostradamus fans should try to vote again.

Congratulations to Joe Giella and Karen Moy for a perfect Christmas greeting. I must say today's strip really worked for me. Just a note, however; the children at the shelter represent the diversity in most communities in this country, so let's move forward with a wonderful holiday and a joyous and prosperous New Year.

What does Ken Kensington mean by living off his shows? Does he mean he squirreled enough money away from his career as a musical theatre actor, and is collecting enough through the Actors' Equity Pension Fund, that he can maintain his celebrated lifestyle in New York City? Or did he somehow negotiate a residual royalty for every time some gawky high school senior attempts to impersonate his interpretation of Nostradomus. Because that would be a sweet deal since Nostradomus is one of the most popular high school productions of all time. Right after Hairspray, but ahead of Anything Goes.

A wonderful and diverse throng of Christmas shoppers flock Manhattan on a Sunday morning. I was hoping Mary and Ken had only gotten a slice, but it looks like they bought an entire pie and intend to eat every bite. I was pleased, however, to see that Mary finally decided to use a straw.

I hope everyone has been having a happy holiday season. We have been very busy. Our freshman came home from BYU this morning. She got stranded in Chicago last night and has had quite a few adventures. It's nice to have the family together again.

And please remember to enjoy your FREE secret message by holding your cursor over each image. Merry Christmas, from Buddy the Elf and Joe Giella.

His niche? If you call training your entire life, moving to Manhattan and becoming one of the most celebrated Broadway stars of all time a "niche," then, yeah, New York City works for him.

I can't tell if that is supposed to be some sort of generic soda can, or a paper cup, but either way, the cardinal rule in New York City is ALWAYS USE A STRAW! Mary is going to pick up some kind of bacteria, and it isn't going to be pretty.

I never asked to read Ken Kensington's mind. I really didn't want to read Ken Kensington's mind. But I have. And there's nothing I can do about it now.

That pizza parlor has more menu choices than Penn Station has trains.

This series of New York clichés just doesn't work without "You Make Me Feel So Young" playing in the background.

Oh, Ken, when you first arrived, you were so fresh! So exciting, so new. A mugging! Lunch with a Broadway Legend! Now what? Nothing. You're as dull as her boyfriend back home. Maybe it's time we all moved on to something new.

How about this instead?

Not a good week for the High Line Park. First, bad publicity about bringing in an invasive cockroach, and now THIS?

Indeed, Ken, there is something about black and white photos. I wonder where we might find some.

Hey, funny background man, they filmed Rocky in Philadelphia, not New York City. You raise your hands on the steps of the Philly Museum of Art, not the New York Public Library.

New York City has been rolling out the Christmas decorations all day! This morning, as Mary headed out on her walk, there wasn't a poinsettia in site!

It's like a scene from MAME!

Ken Kensington, reviving his memorable performance as Daddy Warbucks, takes Li'l Orphan Annie out on the town. Li'l Orphan Annie is so happy she could just MUG somebody!

I'm in the mood for a little Victor Garber, Audra McDonald and the Original Broadway Annie, Andrea McArdle, as the Star-to-Be in this Disney production:
