Mary Worth, 11/30/25

Ahh, the moment we've all been waiting for: when Ian returns from his weeks-long "teachers conference" and confronts the bird who has taken his place and reduced him to a mere "friend" of the household. This bird was perfectly nice to Mary when she came over, so he obviously isn't strictly speaking aggressive towards newcomers; rather, he just instinctively recognizes Ian as his main antagonist going forward and has decided to go on the attack from a position of strength as the current possessor of the disputed territory. I'm glad this week's Sunday Mary Worth Quote® is from David Mamet, because that implies that the dialogue that ensues after the final panel is just a nonstop stream of colorful obscenities.
