A brand-new person with a bottle of bad wine back at his cheap hotel room!
Mary Worth, 1/11/05
Holy crap, look at the tweaked-up expression on Anna’s face in the second panel. The tight, nervous smile, the eyes the size of dinner plates — she’s found a drug more powerful than meth, everybody, and it’s called love! Her expression is all the more striking when you compare it to her look in the first panel. She goes from dignified, Katherine Harris-esque adult to grinning, moon-eyed teenager in a mere moment. So versatile! So emotionally unstable! Just the person you want to jump into a relationship with after a draw-out, ugly divorce!
That profile shot of Dr. Brian in panel two gives us a good look at how … shiny … his hair is. Better not run your fingers through it when you get back to his room back at the Holiday Inn Express, Anna: they might get stuck.

Or the way the table has tilted and is about to tip off the drinks…

In fact the first thought I had upon seeing it was that she had a gun to his back…

I thought that was the late Susan Sontag in the first panel.

Or it could be the fumes from the quickie dye-job she zipped out for between the panels.

Glad to see I wasn’t the only one who thought he was wearing some funky checkered pants.

All I can say is that I’m shocked that you haven’t reported on todays startling revelation in Garfield. Jon Arbuckle shaves his legs.

That ain’t love. It’s BOTOX.
