Snark It Up, FuzzBall!

In slightly less exotic locales, Mary cooks up a welcome to our merry little community for her new neighbors…

…while Neddy (aka, “Adopted Daughter Who Couldn’t Be More Like Abbey Spencer If She Tried”) returns to Spencer Plantation.

Hired Hand Corey approves.

Oh. Yeah.

…life returns to its normal wait for death for the residents of Charterstone.

We can only hope this new New York adventure for John Dill will be rewarding and exciting…IF HE LIVES TO SEE IT!!!

You know it.  I know it.  The ends of these storylines in Mary Worth go on for freakin‘ ever…

Oy.

The current Spiderman storyline has him visiting Frisco.  Evidently his rustic nickname for The City really ticks off the locals, and in one instance, the blind superhero pushes him away.  Granted, from 20 stories up or so, Spidey can take care of himself when a push comes to a shove, but we could only hope that a few others wouldn’t be so lucky…

This could take care of a multitude of our problems…

Sorry I haven’t posted recently (all sorts of excuses, but I’m here to bring you up to date on the Santa Royale Cake Extravaganza!).   It’s been exciting, but now the Moment O’ Truth draws near…

The judging period passes like a glacier, giving everyone massive amounts of time to speculate and reflect on the day’s events…

AND CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!?!??!

What more can be said than “OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!“?

The loud, anguished cries coming from the Santa Royale Convention Center — remember those? (At least pretend you do and nod.)

Giella and Moys take us indoors to see the agony of defeat for one team so far…will it be Mary and John?

Whew! Still, the competition is far from over, and who let the slackjaws in?

And if you think Cake-Heckling is strange, the syndicate distributing Mary Worth recolored the floor cake from the original strip!  Ta-dah!

Still floor-cake is floor-cake, no matter the color…

UPDATE!:  With the lighting focused on the contestants, it’s hard to see up into the bleachers… O.  M.  G.!

Happy Monday!  Try to contain yourselves for Adventure:

Action:

And an absolutely devoid sense of comedy and comedic timing:

…horribly, horribly abused.

And the moment of truth (at least, one moment of truth — what was John carving so diligently?):

…can Mary Worth make moving a stack of cookie tins exciting.

No, not really.

Not even if they were filled with human remains.

But the search for excitement continues — to all corners of Charterstone!

On the other hand, if it leads to Mary’s violent death by the increasingly unstable John Dill, who’s gonna complain.

In the words of Eddie Izzard:

Then again, never let it be said that Mary goes down without a fight!

…it’s CC’s Sequitur’s birthday!  Happy Birthday!  Here’s a little something Mary whipped up (because the old biddy couldn’t be happy with the original cake bourbon babe, unbuckled bought for you!).
