Dustin, 2/11/23

Dustin’s scrunched up face of glee in the final panel is honestly one of the saddest things I’ve ever seen. “Oh, man, my dad is really being a huge asshole … to someone else for a change. This is the greatest day of my life! For now.”

Mary Worth, 2/11/23

I’ve been reading Mary Worth every day for more than 20 years, and I feel confident in saying that “I forgave Wilbur. I just don’t want to date him anymore!” is the most emotionally mature thing anyone in the strip has ever said, by several orders of magnitude.

Ha ha, it’s funny because Sarge does have a compulsive eating disorder but doesn’t have any friends!

Wow, first there’s a good joke in Crock, and now there’s a Crock that does a decent job of showing the mania of self-delusion that overcomes a colonial power when it’s on the verge of realizing it cannot win a war of occupation? What’s next, a second good joke?

Wilbur was in remarkably good spirits when his ex got married, but I have to imagine his other ex finding new romance is going to push him over the edge, right? Like he’s got to know this is happening, somehow, either he’s sitting alone at home and suddenly his combover stood straight up on end, or he’s just been watching from the bushes this whole time.

“I tried t’ tell her: No outsider is going to come to this impoverished and economically isolated community! She’s going t’ hafta marry a cousin or leave her home forever, same choice as the rest of us face.”

Because Estelle simply can’t get enough of public amateur musicianship, she invited Ed on their date to a “piano bar,” which in the Worthiverse refers to a bar that has a piano that, apparently, literally anyone can just come in and play, which sounds like it would be significantly less pleasant than karaoke. But it turns out that Ed is in fact very good at playing the piano! You can tell that Estelle finds this extremely hot, but you can also tell that Ed is getting so much positive feedback from the audience that he finds the prospect of continuing to boogie-woogie all night (musically) more appealing than going back to Estelle’s place and boogie-woogieing (sexually). This is, you have to admit, one of the funnier ways for a date suggestion to backfire.
