I have to say that I love this new theme. (It's a theme, not merely a plot, because obviously we're going to be working on it for a long, long time.) Mary makes ominous references to her past while Toby gives comfort/dies of boredom. And so far, the dramatic revelation is that Mary was a latchkey child. (Stunned gasps from audience.) And she's still a latchkey child deep inside! Actually, outside! Look at that sulky pose. Did somebody write a letter asking for more in-depth background on the character of Mary? Or did Moy just take it upon herself to explain why Mary is so meddlesome? Cause this is clearly where it started: Mary wanted somebody to meddle with her! And nobody did! And now she is doomed to always meddle! Cause meddling is for the best!Poor Toby, under pain of death, has to listen to this drivel, but inside she's like, I really want to get back to that pool party.

i know! i haven't seen sulking like that since my sister didn't want to go hiking and cried and told my dad, "you don't know what it's like to be 4!!!" i think that's the drawing of mary worth i love the most. like if i could buy one and hang it in my house, that would be it.
Who says you can't but it? Probably Moy and Giella have an art sale, of prints of their work. Probably it's someplace important, like their house. You culd blow that one up big and have sulky Mary hanging over your mantel.
PS. Good to hear from you, Dawn!
