If you've never been a fan of this boring, terrible, comically badly written and drawn comic strip now may be the time. We are finally getting a flashback to Mary's awful childhood where she became the snoopy meddling advice giver she is today.

Yep.

Get on it.

I just figured she was bitten by a radioactive Aunt.

Here's hoping!

Excuse me Scott but some of us clip out Mary Worth every day.

well that was.....brief....

[megoscott]

I told you it was just starting. Trust me, the idea of this lame strip exploring the unhappy childhood of this character will be too bad to miss.

I see great opportunities for retconning here.

Play along and come up with your own!

Here's one: The Mary Worth that we know and love was actually a clone of the real Mary Worth named Ben Reilly --

maybe she used to be called Mark Worth and had an operation?

Anyone remember the "Mary Worthless" skit from "The Carol Burnett Show"? I've searched youtube to no avail....

My favorite was the rare Mary Worth where she advises a friend to commit suicide.

Best strip EVER

Mary Worth never really came back from the dead. It was a Skrull all along.
