Hey, look, more frustrated "Mary Worth" readers exist!

Seems like I'm not the only person in West Hartford that finds Mary Worth disturbing. Though I just find it incredibly dull, this person, writing to the editor of the Hartford Courant, feels the paced antics of Mary and her cohorts are often too close to "news" to be entertainment:
I have always relied on the comics section to provide a respite from the news and a moment of escape. This is not always the case anymore because many of the comic strip artists have decided it is their duty to continually remind us about our responsibilities and concerns. For example:

•"Mary Worth" is now educating us on identity theft

•"Rex Morgan, M.D." lectures to us on the issue of adequate and affordable health care.
