I'm attempting to couch this in a family friendly way: Mary's tussle with Ted, oops, Ted MILLER, has unbalanced her chest. Time for a visit to the lingerie department of Maisie's.
I wish we had seen June's drawings of Mary moving Ted from the sofa to the door. Did she pull him by his turtleneck? Roll him? Drag him by his belt? Kick him along the floor?
Making Jeff clean all the muffin debris from the room would be small compensation for introducing Ted. There may be daily dinners at the Bum Boat for a looonnngggg time. Maybe even at La Rosa, or that place Dawn's married boyfriend took her to.
@KitKat--Hm. I wonder. Knowing Maren Koy, there will be no logical/satisfying denouement or conclusion to this storyline. We are more likely to see Mary trot a huge tray of Muffins down to the Westons' or poolside, making a comment about her baking really being about sharing a gift from her heart/with dear friends. Or some baloney like that.
Sadly, Meg, I have to agree. Poor Mary is covering her PTSD with pathetic muffin crumbs.. The only explanation for her even MENTIONING muffins in the wake of this fiasco is that she is in shock. I suspect we may not see muffins again this year since they will likely trigger a panic attack in Mary. Or not, which will make me have even less respect than I have for Karen Moy than I do now.
Tomorrow's installment: The police knock on Mary's door and haul her downtown because Ted has pressed assault charges against her for the SLAP! and the OOF!-inducing push.
Panel 1: WHEW! What a WEIRDO! ... I haven't been reading this strip for a while ... couldn't that comment apply to just about EVERYONE in Charterstone ... even MARVELOUS MARY herself?!?
AAAAND ... we haven't had a pool party in years! Wasn't the last one the one where Mary met Olive and her tummy brain? (Wanders, do you know?)

Who's calling who a weirdo?
Today's Boldface Haiku is titled
"What A Fall For Ted Miller: From Character To Weirdo".
Whew! Weirdo!
Jeff's...
No!

Yes... i'm sure most women that are the recipients of sexual aggression / assault / etc pontificate on the "Weirdness" of the aggressor / assualtor.
That Harvey Weinstein... what a weirdo. Said no one ever.
Ted: Character to Weirdo Mary: Meddler to Punisher
Plot: Promising to Pathetic.

You don't turn down Ted Miller, lady.

I’m still hoping, in my charming bloodthirsty way, that Ted will end up going over Kelrast Cliff.
@fauxprof, "Kelrast Cliff" - hahahaha! The Ghost of Aldo will appear to welcome Ted to the ranks of The Men Mary Spurned. Jeff may join them some day.
As long as Jeff continues to buy Mary free dinners at the Bum Boat he is safe.
