Did they really need another comic that repeats exactly what the last comic said? "This fake email said that if I don't respond to it, they're going to shut down my account and I won't get that DVD for Ian!" "Okay, here I go. I'm responding to the fake email so that they won't shut down my account and I'll get that email for Ian!" I guess tomorrow's comic will be: "Okay, I've done it. I've responded to the fake email, so now they won't be able to shut down my account, and I'll get that DVD for Ian!"

Oh wait, I forgot this comic is for old people. They probably already forgot what happened yesterday by now.

in discussing the daily spider-man strips a writer broke down the writing to this

the first panel you say what happened yesterday
the second panel you have something happen
the third panel you have the characters ponder what this could lead to

I want storyline progression. Will Ian get his DVD? Will Toby get scammed? So suspenseful.

In tomorrow's comic she'll check the UPS tracking number to see when Ian's DVD is going to arrive. Because you know, she bought a DVD for Ian!

The same thing is spread over another five panels. A shock comes on the last panel, as Ian returns home!

This is all going by at such a dizzying pace, I think they need to do a recap strip tomorrow to remind everyone what's going on.

Usually, but I think the effect is even more exaggerated here since it's not even dialogue, but the thought process of someone that appears to be borderline distinguished mentally-challenged. And Sunday is recap day, just in case anyone missed anything.

Hopefully it ends up with her going broke and having to turn to stripping to make all the money back. I bet that Mary Worth has a nice rack. Nudes plz?

I visited the Wikipedia entry on a whim:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Worth

Quote

The strip then took off, according to Saunders (autobiography ch. 13), as he and Ernst introduced over the years a "parade of dazzling, dreamlined dishes," from ingenues to vixens. Each story (and its cast) was independent, with little continuity to the next, and Mary generally made only brief appearances to react and give her matronly advice. Only in recent decades has the strip centered more on her, along with a regular cast of her closest friends: Professor Ian Cameron (the spitting image of former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop) and his younger wife Toby (who is too dumb to ignore phishing e-mails), advice columnist Wilbur Weston (the man with comics' worst comb-over) and his college student daughter Dawn, and Dr. Jeff Cory, Mary's perennial beau (who seems obsessed with the children of Vietnam), and his son Dr. Drew Cory (the local playa, who winds up bitter and lonely after trying to keep up relationships with both Dawn and Vera). Many stories now begin with new people she meets in her volunteer work at the local hospital or at poolside parties at Charterstone, where she is known for her tuna casserole.

“So is Mary Worth always like this: picking an interesting issue, building up to it by way of weeks of intense boredom, and then ending without any kind of interesting climax whatsoever? It’s like digging for treasure and finding only my own grave.” –Amanda

You'd be amazed at how long they can drag things on. The terrible slow pacing is the best part. At least when the storyline is distinguished mentally-challenged enough.
