…no, not really.

It’s hard to think of Mary as anything but a meddler.

Huh.  There might be some promise for a road show of “Meddler on the Roof,” though…

Unfortunately,  Mary and “discretion” are light-years apart:

Yes, the Charterstone Posse is gathered ’round the pool, and Mary’s in the thick of things — not supervising the sideboard, but playing matchmaker!

Personally, I’d take my chances on the potato salad…

I think that many of the serial comics move too slowly, and the suspense is drawn out for too long.  Yes, suspense can add a lot to a plot, but a number of these plots are thin at best, and “suspense” only allow the mind (well, my mind) to wander…

Oh, yeah, my point:  when Aristotle Popitinpotitoutalot receives a phone call, who knows who or what might be on the other end?  Coy comments really don’t help:

(I also realized after having done this mashup, the first four panels have a nice little shock value, without having to worry about a plot.)

Sly chit-chat on the phone + a visitor who warrants a precious ejaculation =

Let’s just take this to its logical conclusion, shall we?

It seems one storyline is ending and another is beginning in Mary Worth.  Unfortunately, this has garnered a week-long vamp as we all wait in breathless anticipation of Who’s Meddled Next?

Some of us are a little more impatient than others, leading to all sorts of juicy speculation:
