Someday a real rain will come ... a rain named Mary ... and wash all this scum off the streets

Mary Worth, 7/8/23

Huh, I guess the way that Mary is going to help out the police is to take to the streets herself as a cold-hearted vigilante who doesn't abide by "the rules" that say it's illegal to feed Lyle Lovett to his own fighting dogs while he begs for mercy. I'm not sure we ever expected to see Mary go stone cold killer in this strip -- she usually passive-aggressively gets others to do her dirty work for her -- but nobody ever messed around with people's dogs before in her presence. (Mary would kill for dogs, but would never be so gauche as to actually have one in her home, due to all her delicate knickknacks and furniture coverings and such.)
