A lovely salute by Barry Alfonso to the endurance of Mary Worth from today's Pittsburgh Post Gazette."In this era of quick spurts of hype and flash, when an 'interactive Web-based serial' like 'lonelygirl15' can become the Flavor of the Nanosecond, Mary Worth stands apart as a true exotic. More than anything, it impresses by just continuing to continue."
My friend, artist Joe Giella, on drawing the King Features strip:
"It was hard for me to get used to doing this strip," he continues. "I'd been drawing super-heroes for a long time, and I don't think anyone has thrown a punch in Mary Worth in 30 years. I said, 'There's nothing going on here.' But now I'm into it."
Additional goodies:
Salute by local resident Bob Braughler, who blogs about her. Love this passage:
"Human despair is to Mary Worth what giant artery-busting sandwiches are to Dagwood Bumstead, or beating the snot out of a bad guy is to Spider-man. It's what gives meaning to their pathetic little lives."
