…and gives a slice to Mary for her lonely pie. Happy 2023!!!
It’s time for the BIG DAY! Not Mary’s cooking talents, but Iris and Zak’s wedding!!!
Somehow, he got roped into the idea that this was a sequel to “March of the Penguins”…
When long, drawn-out weddings give you ample time to let your mind wander, or piss off your adjacent pew-sitter…
No, really!
And while Mooch isn’t Tora (Tora LOVES cold, wet weather), both have their limitations… (Well, I like the idea of hibernation, too).
Meanwhile, Iris and Zak are free to spend their time together!
All those wedding minutiae to deal with…
Looks like Mary’s in for a new “Keep It Clean–Keep It Prudish” campaign in 2023!
Ah, the memories to come…
Summer is roaming the town, and finally decides to leave it…for a Christmas concert (o joy).
This must be the Christmas concert to end all Christmas concerts! Don’t be late!
Is this too good to be true?!??
Well, happy holidays anyway!
Meanwhile, Batuiuiuk fancies himself a science fiction author (“sci-fi”, in his case…):
Only one more day…
This is it…and not a moment too soon!
And true to her word, Iris seeks advice from Mary, who could not be more disinterested…
Some folks have asked, “Doesn’t Mary look a little…odd?” Truth will out!
Still our Mary forges on…those triangle pastries ares fortifying!
Meanwhile, holiday preparations race ahead!!
Back to the matters at hand…
Of course, what happens when you get home is something else entirely!
But…he seems so wholesome!
And HOW to avoid the fallout from a feeding frenzy:
…he’s positively to fetal for you!
It can’t get worse, can it?
Oh, yeah, but Iris is determined to look for a silver lining…
Having given Zak enough rope to hang himself, Iris leaves…
What?!?? Zak isn’t all hot to call Iris after class??
Getting ready to go out…
Oh, boy…the tension builds!
And THEN…
