The Big Date!
And you thought I was going to say something awful about Pomeranians…
SNAUSAGES!!!!
…and gives a slice to Mary for her lonely pie. Happy 2023!!!
It’s time for the BIG DAY! Not Mary’s cooking talents, but Iris and Zak’s wedding!!!
Somehow, he got roped into the idea that this was a sequel to “March of the Penguins”…
When long, drawn-out weddings give you ample time to let your mind wander, or piss off your adjacent pew-sitter…
Meanwhile, Iris and Zak are free to spend their time together!
All those wedding minutiae to deal with…
Looks like Mary’s in for a new “Keep It Clean–Keep It Prudish” campaign in 2023!
Ah, the memories to come…
And true to her word, Iris seeks advice from Mary, who could not be more disinterested…
Some folks have asked, “Doesn’t Mary look a little…odd?” Truth will out!
Still our Mary forges on…those triangle pastries ares fortifying!
Meanwhile, holiday preparations race ahead!!
Back to the matters at hand…
Of course, what happens when you get home is something else entirely!
But…he seems so wholesome!
…he’s positively to fetal for you!
It can’t get worse, can it?
Oh, yeah, but Iris is determined to look for a silver lining…
Having given Zak enough rope to hang himself, Iris leaves…
What?!?? Zak isn’t all hot to call Iris after class??
Getting ready to go out…
Oh, boy…the tension builds!
And THEN…
(There were scads of great tributes to Charles Schulz on his 100th birthday, November 26…Mary Worth was hardly one of them.)
Judge Parker (or his ilk) were too busy investigating bad guys to wish anyone a Happy 100th (the bastages)…
After a barrage of bullets and a crapload of corpses, Sam and Gloria leave the lake house and speculate on Who Might Be Responsible!
Sam figures it’s time to pay a visit to Abby. I’m sure she’ll be sooooooooo happy…
And adding a little “Archer” to the mix..
Ooooh…maybe Sam and Abby will get back together!
And then the bad guy shows up (and he’s a judge, even!) Normally, I wouldn’t give Sophie the brains God gave a goose, but….
Wedding plans begin apace!
Even then, Mary daydreams, or hallucinates, or something…
Meanwhile, what’s our bride Iris up to?
Where’s Iris? Still on her way to college, it seems.
And to think, Mary is really, truly back! Dreams DO come true!
There might be dangers at every turn, Mary…be strong!
And now Mary gets to hear the rehash of “Zak ‘n’ Iris at Waydown Falls.” O joy.
Still, Mary feels obliged to help…
Thank heavens for the weekend…
