	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Mary Worth
		Apple Mary's most prominent character motivation was to protect and provide for her crippled grandson, Dennie, whereas if Mary Worth has a crippled grandson named Dennie, he's long since drifted out of her life.
		Mary Worth became the prototype for a new style of soap opera strip, later displayed in The Heart of Juliet Jones, Friday Foster, Apartment 3-G and others.
		Mary never got into movies or TV (tho her stories were reprinted in a 1943 Major Hoople comic book, a 1949-50 series from Harvey Comics and a 1960s paperback book), but her strip is still running.

	Urban Legends Reference Pages: Bloody Mary
		Mary is said to be a witch who was executed a hundred years ago for plying the fl arts, or a woman of more modern times who died in a local car accident in which her face was hideously mutilated.
		Though this Mary was indeed a vain and foolish woman, history does not know her as a murderous one.
		Likewise, the "Mary Worth" appellation of the malevolent apparition doesn't appear to be drawn from the lead character of a popular comic strip of the same name.

		The three-panel comic strip is not an art form native to the web, and the greatest challenge in adapting it may be that readers bring different expectations and habits to online readership.
		If there is one aspect in which newspapers largely have managed to reproduce their comic strip experience online, it may be this: Newspaper editors have famously tended to view comics as being, at best an annoying afterthought.

		Yet the comics are generally taken for granted -- when they aren't the source of complaints.

	Conceptual webcomics - Comixpedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Conceptual webcomics are comics where a formal or structural idea takes precedence over telling a story or delivering a laugh.
		Oftentimes these comics dispense with some of the key values that define traditional comics art, such as skillful drawing, composition, or scripting, in order to create an unusual or paradoxical effect.
		Ryan North's Dinosaur Comics is a notable example, because the same artwork is used for each installment of the comic.

		For an appreciation, we turn to the man who is largely responsible for the comic's rediscovery as a gem of high Modernism.
		Mary Worth is a classic two-panel absurdist play, in which two or three characters exchange cryptic intelligences to the amazement of one of them in the iambic second panel.
		Everyone looks alike in Mary Worth: the old ladies look like the young ones, the men can only be told apart by whether they have beards, and even the body dimensions on the characters suggest a grotesque, illogical creation.
