Mary Worth 101
Sep. 29th, 2009 07:37 amIt has come to my attention that some of you live blessed lives, and don't actually know what Mary Worth is. I apologize for destroying that innocence.
Mary Worth is a long-running comic strip in parts of the US--I never had it at home, but whenever I went to visit my grandmother, it'd be in her paper, etc. These days, it's pretty much about Mary wandering around meddling in people's lives, not sleeping with Dr. Jeff, who is clearly consumed with lust for her, and saying a lot of meaningless platitudes. Also right now there's some sort of police chase going on which I didn't follow. Storylines go on for months and months and have semi-climactic finishes, except they're not, because nothing on Mary Worth has been exciting since 2006.
In 2006, Mary got a stalker, Aldo Kelrast, who followed her around, snuck up on her while she was in the car, and told her shit like, "I refuse to believe you prefer to be alone!" Then Mary told him he sucked, he got drunk and drove his car off a cliff into a fiery blaze of glory. The phenomenon was called "Aldomania," and was publicized by the blog The Comics Curmudgeon, which is how![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
synergic and I follow Mary Worth in the first place.
The strip has not been interesting since. I recommend it to no one.
