And he showed up exactly on Saint Nicholas Day, with Rex Morgan! Yay!
PLUS! It takes a Big Man to make a Big Confession:
Honestly, for as much as I snark on Rusty and Sassy (and Mark, too), I don’t want bad things happening to them.
Fortunately, folks like CC’s Mardou Fox make suggestions, which I blithely run with–peril be damned! (Sorry, Rusty…)
A new story on the Rex Morgan horizon? Becka seems almost reconciled with Peter, and Tim’s going to yank his mom out of Green Pastures Rest Home because she’s happy there and has a nice elderly “boyfriend” who is happy with her company, too (Tim is such a freakin’ tool).
Tim sports a very unhappy look when it appears Becka and Peter will be going home together, because, you know, that’s what married people do, and his ploy for wooing and winning her seems to have failed.
I like to think that it’s a sour reaction for a completely different reason:
While Tim gets his cartoonial pink-slip, it’s All’s Well That Ends Well for Becka and Peter. (ohpleaseohpleaseohplease let this mean Rex is coming home!)
Little Jeffy spouts, “Boy are we lucky! We’ve got a LOT of people for good night kisses!”
And a lot of flying spittle.
Hopefully (yuck) it all comes from Jeffy’s over-active salivary glands.
Hopefully…
Yeah. Ewww.
CC’s krazy kat speculated on the “missing child” that Mommy appears to be zeroing in on… are there other current Keane Kompound residents who are mysteriously incarcerated in the attic?
I think the answer is simple than that:
(Considering Mommy’s mammalian splendors, don’t be surprised if you don’t see this next June as a poster to promote “June is Dairy Month/Got Milk”? Just sayin’…)
…it must be Charterstone.
Another pool party. *yawn*
Oh, hey, about about this for a Christmas card? I made myself laugh:
That’s right, Mark — and were not talking about Mary Worth and her cronies at Charterstone! Run!
He’d end the current storyline in Rex Morgan.
It might be coming to an end, though. The two old folks with Alzheimer’s have been found and are safe, and now Anger Management Poster Boy Tim can finally meet Handsome Philandering Husband Poster boy Peter. Oh, joy.
Rex Morgan, M.D.
Um.
Probably some other guys, too.
Today, however, there’s a new Man-whore on the block, or in some distant, mysterious country inhabited by fierce Amazon women: The Phantom! (And he’s not even in his purply spandex and stripey Underoos! Those women are desperate!)
The best part of Mark Trail is the Sunday strips (yeah, I probably *could* live without Rusty and poachers and stuff like that) — I grew up only with the Sunday strips, and they and Wild Kingdom were the two gateways to the animal kingdom (none of this Nature and Discovery channels, although there was an occasional National Geographic Special tossed into the mix).
And while animals are cool, some animals transcend cool. Mark hits the nail on the head (or the cephalopodon the beak) with today’s…the Mighty Squid!
Of course, Mark can occasionally get sidetracked.
I hadn’t planned on doing a Thanksgiving mashup (about half of the daily strips did, and this didn’t include Judge Parker (which, I suppose has enough giant breasts on a regular basis that make every day seem like Thanksgiving) or Rex Morgan (which still has Rex MIA, something about which I am NOT thankful)).
But Mary Worth…ah, Mary…
And then there’s “D,” for “dessert”:
I did consider “S” for “sexy,” but to whom would that apply?
Now “S” for “sex fiend,” I can understand:
GO, CHARLEY, GO!
