Probably keep it separate. Important stuff ITT.

Mary Worthwhile?

amiright!?

Absolutely!

I didn't expect a Mary Worth / Star Wars crossover, but in hindsight it makes perfect sense.

How did this fall off the front page?

ruh roh

Uh-oh. Looks like Hugo has a one-way ticket to Dumpsville, USA.

.

I'm really hope she pulls the "it's not you it's me"

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

lol **** Hugo that piece of shitty shitfest of a person

Looks like her biological clock is ticking, and Hugo's not getting the job done

Oh btw turns out the frenchman has the feels for a woman in Paris. He countered her "it's not you it's me" with a "I hope we can still be friends."

LOLOLOLOL

this thread delivers.

Reading back through this thread I am reminded how much Big hates the random bolding, and now it's irking me. Thanks Big.

Which brings us to today strip, that seems to brings the saga with the Frenchman to a close. Notice the bolded. Also r/thathappened


I'm on the edge of my seat as I await Sunday strip (new strips drop at 1am ET I've learned through my constant F5ing).

The last couple of Sundays have been those stupid recap scripts. Gotta agree with Trolly here Hoping we get something good in t-115 minutes.

Lol at New Person.


Not sure how you were unirked until now greg!

So with this story wrapping up—which, I'm kinda embarrassed to admit, is the first I've ever followed—I was curious who these people are. Like why is a comic titled Mary Worth all about someone named Dawn?

So I did some digging.

Turns out Dawn is the daughter of Mary's next door neighbour (who might be named Wilbur, but I read about it last night so that could be wrong. According to the comments section he really likes mayonnaise. I'm not sure if that's true or just an inside joke).

Dawn was bullied at her prep school in Connecticut because she was an overweight kid, but I guess she shed some lbs, and moved to Santa someplace (which I think is in CA) where she lives with her dad (and next to Mary) and attends college.

Damn, I thought she was a 30-something jet-setter having a fling with a Frenchman, not some dumb college kid. Now I'm assuming she met Hugo on a semester abroad and the other dude she's ****ing is her college BF, but who knows? From the comments sections I gather her other guy is dumber than a bag of ****s. Maybe we'll pick up the story with him when Dawn gets back from NY. Maybe even Mary will put in an appearance.

Tune in next week.

Big, I ever even noticed until I read your comments. Now I can't not see it

Thanks for the breakdown!

Thread delivers.

I've struggled to catch up on the backstory here since comics are archived behind a pay wall after a week, but I've stumbled upon a trove of juicy deets: https://nebushumor.wordpress.com/tag/mary-worth/

Last summer, Dawn, leaving a store in Santa Royale’s prestigious Three Doors Mall, bumps into Hugo.



Turns out Hugo, not Mary, was the exchange student.

They have lunch. Hugo negs on the typical American diet of fried high-fructose corn syrup smothered in bacon. He loved the part in Literature class where they talked about Victor Hugo’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame. He negs Americans’ cultural appreciation. But Dawn points out America has good stuff too, like how we let French people in and … value … Americanism and stuff. Hugo likes Dawn, despite how she’s an American living in America in American ways.



Anyway, they have a decent summer romance. Mary Worth offers the obvious but useful advice that Dawn should talk with Hugo about what happens after he goes home. Dawn brings up the topic gently, on a trip to the Santa Royale Aquarium.

He says, why speak of the future? He points to the fish who have their tanks and their place and accept it, and why don’t we accept the here and now?

She decides not to take the hint. Driving him to the airport she finally asks if they can Skype together or something. He says no, it couldn’t work.

She goes home to cry.

Then there's a knock on her door.

No, it’s not Mary Worth. It’s Hugo!

His flight’s delayed to tomorrow. So he went to her. And, he’s willing to try a long distance relationship now. Dawn is overjoyed. And Mary Worth approves of this. She notes there are challenges to a long-distance relationship, but, come on. This is officially 2019. Over 96 percent of all relationships start out as long distance.

seems like dawn has been hiding a fairly decent rack this entire time, making more sense why the witch nosed butterface has so many options available

I'd motorboat them and looks like they're built for speed too.

This reel could badly use a pitbull.

Picking up after Hugo leaves, Wilbur worries for his daughter.


This may seem meddlesome. But in fairness, his relationship with Iris broke up while he toured the world asking disaster survivors why they weren’t dead. She dismisses her father’s fears about their relationship. She then contracts her father’s fears about their relationship.

While at a pizza place, thinking this over, she spots Jared Mylo. They’d worked together for Local Medical Group a couple summers ago. It’s a nice reunion. He’d had a crush on her back then. They talk some and decide to go see a movie, a parody Star Wars film.



What a juicy tidbit at the end. We see Hugo with a woman, who must be the woman in Paris he ends up having feelings for.

Anyway, Dawn reassures herself that she and Jared are just friends hanging out. It can’t possibly threaten her relationship with Hugo. But she's conflicted: is hanging out with Jared Mylo here in Santa Royale going to distance her from her French boyfriend in France, Paris?

Not really sure what happens after that, but I guess things heat up between her and Jared, and she strings him along while trying to keep him in the friendzone, or is she stringing Hugo along? Or both?

Which brings us back to where I came in

Well now we know, and as an anxious Jared waits for her return, she says goodbye again to Hugo at the airport. This time no tears were shed.

looks like that motorboating must have straightened out jared's nose

sure looks like hugo upgraded in a huge way back in paree
