Coming soon to this space: Prominent use of the word ‘tweaker’
Mary Worth, 10/5/04
Because when you’re feeling stressed out and overwhelmed, what you really want to take the edge off is some meth.

I remember clearly the first time I saw this particular strip, I actually said outloud, “No, Tommy! Don’t teach the college student to do drugs!!”
I’m sure glad to know other people enjoyed this plot line as much as I did. My favorite thing about it is the way an ex-convict and drug dealer looks in the overly politically correct world of Mary Worth – you KNOW he’s bad news because he has a PONYTAIL!! And a TATTOO OF A KNIFE!! What was especially funny about that, for me, is that in my local paper, Mary Worth is three strips above Zits, where about every other day we get to see Jeremy’s best friend and all around good guy Pierce, who with his facial piercings and partially shaved head looks about ten times scarier then Iris’s son – and he got those things while in high school, not prison. I bet you Mary Worth is written by a seventy year old woman who thinks that tattoos are something you can only get in prison and would probably die of a heart attack if she actually saw a man with a ring in his eyebrow.

Clearly, Ms. Texas Holdem and her colleagues are trying to tell us that they’ve seen advance copies of upcoming strips, when Tommy quits dealing drugs and develops a crippling gambling problem.

I realize this is from 3 years ago and nobody will ever (EVER) see this comment, but… Won’t somebody explain the multicolored fro in the background?

What I wanna know is, holy crap, how tall is the dude in the far background of the first panel? Like, ten four? Are the other people sitting down? Is the perspective in Mary Worth shoddy and poorly-planned? To ask the question is to know the answer.
