doingitwrong posted:I'm not up on Mary Worth lore, so I don't know how Ian and Toby got together. I note that she's much younger than him so it could be that she's worried that whatever happened between her and him will happen between him and someone else. Did she start up an affair with him? That would give the story a little more grounding, though if that's the case maybe somewhere in the 14 or so strips leading to this moment she could have mentioned that worry explicitly. I've never really followed Mary Worth, but something sticks in my mind that there was a very-long-ago storyline in which Ian and Toby both lived at Mary's apartment complex and were dating but weren't married, and one or both was concerned about whether they could make the May-December thing work. FWIW.

So, it's 25 into 650 equals 26. Round cell is 0, splat is 1, oval blob is 2, rectangle is 5, and the one with cilia is 6. As far as Ian and Toby in Mary Worth, they apparently have been married since they were introduced to the strip.

Duplicated pages? No, I don't know anything about that - I would never make such a mistake! (Please check my last post to see the now-updated pics, and thanks everyone for pointing it out, also for the words of support!) In today's Corto Maltese: Corto chooses the worse time to flirt, or Shanghai Lil does not gently caress around, or Uh... whoops Well, getting the gold can't be that hard! All you need is a group of trained marine engineers. To mid-winter Siberia... during the Russian civil war... Yes, this could be a bit problematic. See how this square will be circled next time, in...

I think there's a running gag that Arlo is extremely paranoid about sun exposure or something. We just haven't seen much of it yet.
