The Awesome Lameness of Mary Worth

[The Toyroom]

It'd also have been cool if her childhood friend Cathy had grown up to be....

A whole boring lame storyline has taken place since the last post. The only upside is that it's apparently pushed Mary Worth's "boyfriend" to finally take a stand an insist that she take care of HIS needs for a change. Let the smackdown commence!

You CAN help it, you just don't WANT to!

Mary Worth is breaking up with her boyfriend!

The drama! The humiliation! The heartache! The blue sansabelt slacks!

[Airdave817]

Is this Mary Worth or Countdown?

Man I still wanna see Frank Miller's All Star Mary Worth. That would rock! "I'm goddamn Mary Worth." Although the scene where she does it with Black Canary in the rain could be kinda cool.

Geez, Ron looks to be about 38 years old. I assume that Mary will be free to finally date Rex Morgan MD now.

Don't get Mary Worth angry,
you wouldn't like her when she's angry.

[megoscott]

True enough! Her kung fu is very strong. Lookit that hand slap!

[The Phantom]

Wake up Jeff. Give the old bag her walking papers.

[megoscott]

Okay, let's get it straight.

Mary has been dating Dr. Jeff Cory for ages in a sexless relationship of smug blandness.



Ron is the new guy hoping for some sweet advice givin' action.



They look the same because the strip sucks, but Jeff's hair is brown and Ron's hair is grey.

[palitoy]

Man, that Ron is a silver haired fox! Dump the teenager Mary and get with him.

I can't believe I've gotten sucked into this. Mary Worth is bad in a special, special way. It's like a Jack Chick tract without the laughs.

Man the movie version of this would be the perfect return for Bea Arthur.

Okay, since we last spoke Mary and her perpetually sexless boyfriend Jeff took a break, she went on some boring "dates" with the city councilman guy, but he broke it off because he was so busy with the crushing affairs of state in Santa Royale. Mary screened her messages and made ol' Dr. Jeff beg like a dog and then she took him back after he was sufficiently cowed. She admitted some "mistakes" were made by both sides, but the clear impression was it was all his fault and she'd be lording in over him until kingdom come. Then they ate orange mushy food and went boating. All of this was done without any drama, insight, or logic and was terribly drawn as usual.

But the payoff for all of this disappointment and insufferable smugness? It's this.



Sometimes it's the tender bud, sometimes it's the dirty root?

She's looking him right in the eye when she says it---he knows what dirty root means and he knows it's never going anywhere near her tender bud. I declare it the nastiest piece of comic strip writing since R. Crumb.

WOW I wanna here more of the dirty root!!!!!!
Mary Worth does hard core.....
