Feeling a little inadequate?

DoubleDonut posted:

I have no idea what is supposed to be happening in Mary Worth but I can't stop reading this storyline.

Also, I see Foob appears to be transitioning into sitcom-style "married people are not allowed to have friends of the opposite sex."

I'll bet she's running to Mary's apartment, and Mary will be her meddling proxy with regard to all this cyst stuff.

I wonder how you'd clean up the corpse. I'd think just heat it up until the chocolate sloughs off, but I'm sure there's a good reason they stick cadavers in freezers.

I'm more confused by Dick Tracy taking time out of his schedule to show up for a villain's viewing and then his funeral just to make nasty under-his-breath comments to his partner. It makes me wonder if "Dick" is just a well-earned nickname.

It may be a reaction to this, and a commentary on the fact that no bishops had yet been defrocked for their part in not removing abusers.

That just changed, by the way, but I figure the strip was probably written before this case came down.

Agreed. I forget if it was this thread or the last, but somebody pointed out that Ballard Street is obviously the result of somebody losing a New Yorker Caption Contest, while Heathcliff is somebody winning brilliantly. I can't really argue with that.
