Charterstone will be empty by the afternoon
Mary Worth, 11/27/24
Oh, man, this is incredible, we're now on day three of Mary's dinner guests making it very clear that they don't mind at all that dinner's been cancelled, and then going off and doing the thing that they're now free to do because dinner's been cancelled while very much not worrying about whether Mary's dying or whatever. In Dr. Jeff's case, the thing that he's now free to do is to take a brisk walk alone into the woods and never come back.
Shoe, 11/27/24
Normally it would be the guy delivering the gag who would get the heavy lidded expression of despair in the second panel, indicating his shame at delivering terrible Shoe-level wordplay. But that's not the case here, which leads me to believe this guy isn't making a joke or anything. He's dead serious about it: the toilet seat thing is a sick sex thing, one that drives his wife wild with desire, and it's no doubt just the beginning of some very elaborate process that you do not want to know about. Shoe's right to look so angry about having to hear this.
Pluggers, 11/27/24
Hey, pluggers, you guys know that they give the mall Santas a wig and a fake beard, right? It's pretty obvious when you look at them. Even the little kids can tell, for the most part.
