…to someone. In the meantime, I must extrapolate:
…hey! Is Sassy off the damned leash? AGAIN?!?
[CC’s poor Mooncattie got conscripted here because of his love for vacationing in Europe and hiking in the Alps. Yes, I’m jealous, and see where it leads?]
Unidentifiable Arboreal Creature from Lost Forest!
Dr. Mike attempt to contact his estranged father “Lonnie.” Lonnie has never kept any of these appointments. Of course, with Mary’s guidance, this will change!
Okay, maybe another time.
Meanwhile, Mary brings Toby up-to-date on the latest in the Dr. Mike/Jenna story. Mary has apparently run out of potato chips for her guest).
[Note to self: watch Dangerous Beauty again.]
The comic strip Gil Thorpe does a bang-up job of messing with the space-time continuum (in that a lot of the strips look as though they’ve fallen in a black hole and are being folded, spindled and mutilated into fantastic, utterly impossible dimensions). If you have a touchy tummy, this can make you a bit queasy.
Mary Worth is more established in perceiving the here-and-now. People stand side-by-side. No “art” shots. No weird framing (that’s left to 9 Chickweed Lane and Pibgorn). So when it does happen, with Mary hovering above Dr. Mike as he lies on his official psychiatrist couch, looking down on him as those God is parting the clouds and getting a gander at His creation below, it is even more disturbing than the current plot-line alone.
Mary, please leave wacky perspective to the professionals. Or at least leave wacky physical perspective to the professionals — we know that you’re the inarguable master of wacky mental perspective.
Some people prefer to comment, rather on non-Euclidean space, the sartorial splendor of an up-and-coming young psychiatrist:
And then even some people with the patience of a saint, may feel a bit overwhelmed and need to call in reinforcements:
Mark Trail found the missing Sassy! In spite of a Bad Guy (with requisite facial hair) stealing her from kindly old Sally to cash in on the reward, Mark used his mad naturalist skillz to track the Bad Guy! Wooo!
Well, I think he’s a Bad Guy. Maybe Rusty is just a little confused:
Meanwhile, in the tender reunion, Sassy looks a bit baked. Maybe not this baked, but pretty much chocolate-chip puppy baked:
The fallout from Gunther’s fallout (har!) continues in Luann. Oh, so many ways for the twists and turns for adolescents to take!
Here’s one!
And here’s another!
Such ribaldry!
Take one panel from Mark Trail, which by itself has filthy, filthy connotations.
Add several other panels.
Voile’! Hello, Dali!
First the opportunity to put good ol’ Andy on a bicycle, and now the chance to do something else with Rusty (who in the real comic world had thrown himself upon Mark when he’d heard about Sassy):
Oh, wait! Damned giant squirrels chewing through the wires:
Once again, it falls to good ol’ Andy to haul everyone’s kibble out of the fire…
[The 20 June 2010 Mark Trail focuses on Lightning Awareness Week (shut up, there is such a thing), with poor Andy being royally spooked by a loud clap of thunder and lightning — I had to do something with it…]
PLUS! A conundrum!
If it’s Lightning Awareness Week, why is there a Moose and not Zeus?
Another Mystery of the Universe!
that somewhere out there, Rusty Trail is real. And one of these days, he’s going to hunt me down and kill me.
But, in the meantime:
OH, NOES!!!!1!1!! How dastardly is this?!?
