A number of things jump to mind immediately upon reading this strip. Fortunately, most of them have been put in their proper place with a liberal treatment of heavy drugs. But some questions remain:
1.) Why are the characters hovering at an impossible angle over the ground in panel 1, so that we are simultaneously looking at them and down at the pavement?
2.) Where in America today would a woman have (apparently unironic) Margo Thomas hair and a yellow Gidget Goes to College halter top, other than possibly at a drag show or a rockabilly band’s gig?
3.) In what universe, anywhere or any time, would a guy use the word combinations “It’s been far too long” and “What a sight you are!” when speaking to another human being?
4.) Why does the Mary Worth colorist only have access to primary color inks? Is he not allowed to blend hues because of some “incident” in the past? Did this “incident” involve drinking mineral spirits in some way?

These questions are deep, and they go to the heart of many recurring artistic themes in MW. Perhaps another application of heavy drugs and mineral spirits is required.
