Geez, you’re either up or down and never in the middle

Mary’s a pretty good foil for young pre-trauma Sal much in the same way that Joyce and Becky work off each other in Dumbing of Age, I feel. They’ve got that similar Responsible V Impulsive(: Dawn of Justice) dynamic that I love so much. And just wait until you meet Sal’s evil dad!
I’m not sure why Mary isn’t still Sal’s childhood friend in Dumbing of Age. Maybe when I was setting everything up, I just plain forgot. It could’ve been easy to accomplish, and a year or two ago I thought about retconning that relationship back in, but I figured the two probably would’ve acknowledged each other before then. But, in retrospect, I’m glad I didn’t, because I like Marcie being Sal’s childhood friend a lot better. Promoting Marcie means Mary has less to do, but … I’m fine with that.
We traded Less Mary for More Marcie in DoA? Sounds like a fantastic deal to me!
The only better one would be trading Less Mary for More Mary in a Woodchipper.
Well, at least this time she’s praising Danny for traits he actually has.
Or “had”, at any rate.
Moments where Mary doesn’t act like a despair fueled hate engine and expresses concern like a normal human being always freak me out.
It’s like she acts like a normal human being!
Though come to think of it, how could Mary be an old friend of Sal’s in DoA? Would she be around Billie and Walky as well? Would she have been at Sal’s boarding school?
Mary’s eye is trying to escape her face in panel three. Its seen things, things no eye was meant to see.
“Stop smooshing your face into my boobs! Dammit!”
I did originally think she meant “hug my waist, not my boobs”
tho maybe she means “motorboat, not sideboob”
Yay for less Mary in DoA
Hmm. Maybe Mary is Beef’s childhood friend in the Dumbiverse?
I dunno, I kinda liked having Mary around. She was like a constant reminder to how much the characters, as well as Willis himself, had grown up.
I liked her a lot more than Malaria, or whatever her name was, anyway.
