Here’s me trying to give Mary some depth back before I decided, oh what the hell, she’s just evil. She mirrors a few of my feelings I had when I was her age — I liked hills and mountains, and I wanted to live in them when I grew up, like in Colorado or something.
And yet here I am in Ohio.
Eh, I don’t really go outside anyway.
Loading ...
Outside is overrated anyway.
Underground is where it’s at. But not many people seem to appreciate that.
Could you say, they don’t dig it?
A lot of shit could’ve been avoided if they just did as she asked. Unlike Danny, the fate of the universe doesn’t hinge on her well-being.
I don’t remember it being a “lot” of shit, just the one superb act of hypocritical assholery.
But I guess the archives will prove me wrong [or how much I’ve mentally blocked to protect my sanity].
Well there’s still the general hypocritical assholery we could have been spared.
So is Ohio. My kid lives in Missouri, I don’t know how he stands it.
Outs-ide? What is this outs-ide you speak of?
Okay. *drives away and never comes back*
Was the decision to make Mary evil something you consciously decided in order to make an otherwise flat character interesting, or was it more that Mary WAS evil, and you just decided to stop fighting it?
Mountains are great, till you get old, then they make it hard to get around much. But …. I don’t go outside anyway either.
Aw, Ohio isn’t so bad… the lake is pretty nice, and we have some lumpy hills down south…
What, no seatbelts?
Lap belts! They’re in the back seat.
I’m experiencing Mary for the first time and really have no reason to hate her (yet, I’m sure).
It’s quite funny watching the dissonance between a perfectly nice girl in the comic and the absolute, boiling hatred in the comments.
This.
In fact, “this” is a big part of why I like the many worlds of David Willis- half of the comments are either anachronistic or refer to another universe. Always wanted to be a Time Lord.
Eh, she’s a judgemental fundamentalist Christian. That’s enough for me to run screaming in the other direction if I met her in real life, as she’d be a legitimate threat to my physical and mental safety.
Also, there’s secret organizations and aliens and stu—oh, right
You wouldn’t go outside in Nevada either. Our seasons are Hellfire and Chaos winds.
Why is Mary even there, anyways? Billie wanted to see Mount Rushmore; she’s using Danny (who wants some Billie-time) and his car to get there; Joe is tagging along because of his “going alone” comment; then Mary shows up with her sketchbook saying, “Okay, I’m all packed!”
See, Mary, this is why nobody likes you.
