…I just don’t think it’s very funny.  Well, I did my best here (and I have to credit the strip for providing me with Scoopy, the Surly Sundae):

Just a friendly warning…

But then, even the meekest and milque-toasty of people can finally bust a cog and realize that they’ve just had it up to here with Mary and her platitudes…

(Where can I get one of those transparent lab coats?)

Apparently ghost-writing for the “Dear Busybody” column in the Santa Royale Penny Shopper has taken up a lot more of Mary’s time than any of us realize.  It seems that even Dawn has to make an appointment to ask her for advice, but Mary being who she is, can still turn on the hospitality with a nice hearty slice of something.  (No, really…it’s something, and we’re just not quite sure what it is.)

Oh. And speaking of turning on…

Oh, and watch out, Rex Morgan…looks like there may be a new DOCTOR on the block!

…but I think Mark would agree that getting everything (and I do mean everything) out in the open is an excellent examples of  “Honesty is the best policy.”

Let’s see…first Billy is going to beat the crap out of Jeffy. Instant gratification.

Later, Billy is going to steal all of Jeffy’s Christmas haul.  Delayed gratification (but still satisfying).

We’ll see you in Sheriff Arpaio pink prison duds in a few years, Billy.  Enjoy the free life while you can!

You know, I felt rather sorry for Jeffy in the original strip and my mashup. I feel somewhat better now:

Kinda rockin’ the Cagney attitude…

Ah, the sunny Caribbean! No doubt it’s all Too Much for Mark, who should be back in Lost Forest, chopping and stockpiling wood, insulating the cabin, shooting and dressing and storing venison and elk, all for the long, cold dark winter–awww, hell, noes!

He doesn’t even have to worry where he put his longjohns after the last Spring thaw!  This kidnapping gig is pretty sweet!

June Morgan is just so practical.  Well, someone has to be in the family.

Practical and pragmatic AND people listen to her.  Not much good if you’ve got a lot of good advice and no one listens, right?

Comments Off on “Follow your heart…”

Oh, heck, the unifying theme in both Rex Morgan, M.D., and Judge Parker recently haven’t been exotic locales, but racks!

Exhibit A (and B):

Exhibit C:

Still, lawyer and physician serial strips can be damned dull, and if we’re grateful a week before Thanksgiving for gifts like this, so be it!

That’s about all you need to know.  I haven’t been keeping track (then again, Greg Evans seems more interested in the sordid tail of TJ fingering Ann Eiffel, and some other plots that are too lame for me to remember).
