You know, sometimes you don’t even have to parody something like this
with this:
Yeah. Sometimes you’re just plain screwed…
I *think* this had to do with a current Mary Worth storyline, with a lonely young writer catching a ride to the grocery store with a lonely young divorced man, and her carrying around a bag of groceries for an inordinate amount of time. One of the egregious faults was a baguette missing from her goodies.
From there, the discussion went something like
Grocery bag –> baguette in bag –> the art of Art Frahm (Google him) –> granny panties –> granny panties around ankles –> Mary Worth –> oh dear God!
Yeah, something like that.
Over in the Deep Woods, Old Man Mozz (Village Prophet and Seer) dreams of awful things coming to The Phantom (Village Idiot)! Guran (Village Medicine Man) counsels The Phantom (Village Big Purple Goober) to stay safe, close to home! The Phantom (Ghost-Who-Does-Jerky-Things) longs for Adventure!
What could possibly go wrong?
*sigh*
Well, suffice it to say that Judge and Mrs. Parker are going to tropical Mexico for their son’s wedding, and Katherine is outfitting the Judge with the latest in early 20th C. exploration gear. This met with a really frightening expression from Hizzoner, which reminded CC’s Calico of Grumpy Cat.

Which led to an opportunity to use the request again:
(and GC’s on my Facebook profile pic for the moment, too. Nothing succeeds like excess.)
Sometimes ya just can’t takes no more! Good on ya! (Extra points for Problem-Solving without enlisting Mary Worth!)
You go, Dawn clone Beth!
The new old harridan at Charterstone, Elinor Kinley, has been likened to
Christopher Walken (a lot);
E.T.
Peter Lorre;
Kelsey Grammer’s mom;
Steve Buscemi;
A Sith Lord (if not the Emperor);
The Scream;
The big-headed aliens in the pilot of the original Star Trek series (the one with Captain Pike…beeeeep!).
See?
Today’s reminded me of Andy Serkis’ absolutely wonderful Gollum (as it did for CC’s Calvin’s Cardboard Box. Yay! I’m not alone!). I wish the rendition had turned out better. Oh, well…on to other things. (Still, it calls to me…)
Throwing in the towel on this…you win, Mr. Giella!
The Comics Curmudgeon himself notes that Jeffy Keane’s “arms and shoulders have been replaced by a neck-pillow.” Yes. It’s true.
The really unsettling thing is asking how did this happen? Maybe it was a tragic congenital condition.
On the other hand…
YOU DECIDE!
Romance novels — love ’em or hate ’em, both sides have their fans! Unfortunately, they’re having dinner together.
And then someone feels the need to go all apeshit…
(Homer Simpson whisper: “I don’t think they’re going to be invited back for dinner.”)
…aside from Mary hanging up on Jeff Corey, after rudely telling him to feed his own fucking self I’m not your slave I’ve got a major meddle going on…
Oh, that Mary!
