SUPER-IRIS TO THE RESCUE

Mary Worth, 10/25/22

Good (?) news, everybody: Zak didn't fall to his death mid-selfie, or at least he hasn't yet! No, he's grabbed onto a cliffside branch, Sgt. Snorkel style, and now needs Iris to drag him to safety. There was a bit of dialogue in a strip last week in which Iris said she can easily handle this hike due to the "strength training" she's been doing; I assume that, despite her current protests, she will eventually be able to rescue Zak, finding her power in an adrenaline-fueled burst like the stories you hear about mothers lifting up cars to save their children, which really fits in with the nature of their relationship.
