It is a barn joke you see, because all herbivores in this universe are somehow domestica.... wait, this just isn't going to get any better, is it. :ughh:

This is a relatively small thing to be complaining about, but that sign shifts from one side of the building to the other. It's not even a matter of clarity, you could have had it in the same place in the final panel and it would have looked fine, it's just suddenly somewhere else.

(I am trying to ignore the larger issue of building a school for one class of citizens directly across the street from the class of citizens that is legally allowed to murder them. K&K is so hosed up.)

I have trouble believing the grey area this storyline takes place in is intentional. There's no way Mary Worth isn't intending for the daughter to be a no-good lout that's completely unreasonable...is there?

I mean, they could have easily made the daughter the obvious rear end in a top hat and the grandmother having to weigh not having to raise her grandson alone vs. gambling on her daughter managing it. Instead we clearly see the daughter is working part-time to try to raise her son, and wants to be able to work full-time to better provide for him.

I don't even know. The earlier conversation with Mary suggests that the old woman is in the wrong because Mary's always right, but now the daughter wants her mother as an almost-unpaid, full-time babysitter and that's pretty hosed up.

So when you inevitably drop something by accident, do you have to get someone else to pick it up for you?

You're all overthinking the Mary Worth storyline. The daughter is involved in some completely bizarre secondary problem, probably related to drugs or pornography or latent psychic powers or the high octane world of competitive cake decorating, which Mary will indirectly solve somehow. Free from the shackles of her deviant lifestyle she'll realise how selfish she's been all along, refocus on raising her son, and blind grandma will be free to move in with them.

I'm sure they'll all end up living together after all, but with the understanding that Grandma doesn't have to babysit ALL the time. And everybody's happy! (Except Grandma. But Mary will have been right and that's way more important. As long as Grandma is smiling vacantly for the close, it will not matter that she's dying inside.)

Mandrake actually suggested that and was turned down for unclear reasons.


And by "that", I mean "drop me off before I left, then don't take me in the first place". :pwn:

She told him her name, then immediately used the ray to erase his memory of it. For, again, unclear reasons. :shrug:
