This Mandrake story is probably the best thing I've ever read in a newspaper comic. Especially compared to the total lack of anything happening The Phantom's had lately.

You guys will probably be disappointed to learn that the Phantom's skull ring was originally owned by Emperor Nero and was made from the nails that held Jesus to the cross. Phantom uses it to punch bad guys in the face. Dude gives no fucks about history.

I can't get over the sheer stupidity of this plotline. Even for comic strips this is just dumb. Do you suppose Margaret Shulock is just loving with Bolle at the point to see what kind of stuff she can get him to draw?

My friend's relatives recently caught a baby deer and tried to raise it as a pet living in their house. It turns out it's not a good idea.

I'm guessing that the Singh Brotherhood probably have a pretty extensive collection of art and artifacts, and if the Phantom happens to come across any of it in the process of administering vigilante justice, well, he could donate it to a museum...

She needs to write an orgy scene to see how boring Bolle can make it.

It's martyr complex both ways.

Retail

Better not leave the house and interact with anyone ever because you're bound to get people discussing the weather as a way to uh, break the ice.

My reading was she couldn't get as much blanket as she'd like so she turned it up to where it was too hot for the man (this joke is based on stereotypes).

It's an electric blanket. He's hogging the covers, so she turns up the heat really high causing him to throw them off and she can have them to herself.

gently caress it. Here's a God drat wall of Mary Worth. They aren't all here, but it was a boring story anyways. I have no idea where we stopped, but I could only find back to 12/31 anyways. She's out in NYC with the bearded retired Broadway star who has, of course, fallen for her.





He buys her a scarf from one of the street scarf merchants New York is famous for.



The disembodied heads of those she's wronged haunt Mary.









She almost gets hit by a cab...



...but the beard guy saves her.



She decides to leave, and claims it wasn't the taxi, but really gives no other explanation.



He takes the news well.



She goes home, hooks up with the boyfriend, they go for a cruise, and she keeps her dirty, filthy secret.



Then they go to the Bum Boat...





...which is the place a woman inexplicably chooses to go to tell her daughter that her father is leaving...



...and then proceed to have a mild emotional breakdown.



Waiter don't give a gently caress.



But Mary do give a gently caress.



She's got meddle in her eyes.
