Am I the only one who has completely lost any appetite for muffins whatsoever? I see muffins in restaurants and grocery stores and I am physically repulsed.
But what if this isn’t Mary and her predicted muffins. What if this is Hugo who decided France just wasn’t as great as he remembered. Not without Dawn.
Mrs. Wanders and I made it to Utah on Wednesday in the little 1997 Subaru Impreza that we are passing down from our oldest daughter to our son in college. We had a great day, but we have more travels ahead.
By the by the way, while I’m traveling I’m posting these using a cell phone. It isn’t easy. Don’t get too worked up over typos, grammar and bad auto corrections.

Glad you’re moving right along, Wanders. Utah is one of the remaining states on my personal bucket list, and I hope to get there one day.
That second panel is downright ominous. The door looks more like a cabin in the woods than a California condo. And rather than expecting a neighbor with muffins, Dawn looks as though she’s about to face a hockey-masked, chainsaw-wielding serial killer.
Hold on, I’m burying the lead, here. Dawn LIKES Mary’s Muffins?!?
@fauxprof Dawn's shift dress doesn't help. I bet it's Mr Allora with hedge clippers.
Dawn's recovering from a broken heart and she can use a MUFFIN???
Seriously? A muffin? I'd be hoping it would Toby with a bottle of vodka.
Anyway, I think we all know it's going to be Hugo, right?

Wilbur?
Wanders, I'm like you. Everytime I see a muffin, I want to hurl. What is with KM and this muffin fetish anyway??
Glad that you and Mrs. Wanders are moving right along. Would love to see Utah myself. (A wrestler friend of mine is a Brigham Young alumnus.) I noticed the Jersey tags. I'll forgive you for that because I like you LOL. (I'm from NY.)
Anyway, why is Dawn using Mary's whole name? I never say my friend's whole name. That's just weird. (Like Dawn.) She's walking like she's doing the Bataan death march. (I guess I would too if I had to eat Mary's muffins.)
So you and Mrs. Wanders are eschewing muffins on your travels, Wanders? Mary’s (excuse me, Mary WORTH) has sullied muffins for us forever.
Agreed, the Weston home is creepy and depressing, which probably has encouraged Dawn’s black mood. Did Wilbur steal the picture on the left from a trip to Egypt? And what is the garment hanging to the right? A shroud that Dawn will now wear forever?
Maybe “buzz buzz” is Medical Assistant Jared, who’s been keeping tabs on Dawn the past year.
Today's Boldface Haiku is titled
"Please Let It Be Estelle And Chocolate Consolation With Two Spoons".
[Buzz! Buzz!]
Mary Worth.
Stop by...
Muffin...
Wanders, no need to apologize for any typos and the like. We are grateful for your updates, and we appreciate the trouble you are going through to post them.
"I could use a muffin right now"! That is so hilarious. It's like Moy is trolling herself! I think we have a Panel of the Year candidate.
I will be Hugely disappointed if that's His Hugeness on the other side of the door. It would make no sense, not that much does in the Worthiverse.
I want it to be Mary . . . er, Mary Worth with four dozen muffins. Let's get this pity party started in earnest.

BTW, Wanders, what back road did you take to enter Utah? That sure ain't the interstate. Not that there's anything wrong with that. The interstate is boring. Life lives along the back roads.
And that's quite a contrast between the scene on the billboard and the actual scene behind it.

fauxprof: Dawn didn't say she LIKES Mary's muffins. She said she could USE one. I'm thinking she's got some pictures to hang and she can't find a hammer.
Penalty to Dawn for Unnecessary Suspense Building. Get to the door already! And one to KM for dragging this out so the door opens on Friday (classic soap opera ploy). Hilarious comments everyone! Enjoy Utah, M. Wanders!
For a moment, I thought 'I could use a muffin' was your secret message hiding in plain sight and too funny for words. Then wondered how you got the font so perfect and went back and looked at today's strip... realized I hadn't scrolled far enough right to read that *&*^#@% obvious KM line... and realized I had given KM too much credit by far. When would she ever let the picture do the talking?
It has taken me a long time to realize that KM is MW is KM. She has to control all the possibilities for all the characters and all the readers all the time...
Fight on, snarkers. Happy travels, Wanders.
Hot Day in Canada
I could use a muffin — if only it wouldn’t come with a side of old lady telling me what to do.
Walk this way!!!
I'm hoping Mary shows up with salmon squares. That will send Dawn into a total downward spiral.
@Scottie McW at 9:03, I truly think Ms. Moy enjoys this blog as much as the rest of us. She's trolling us! I kind of like to imagine her grinning as she typed "I could use a muffin."
FRIDAY
Oh joy, Hugo is back. To quote Dawn, “Gasp!”. Surely he came to the realization that what he felt was true love, and not just the summer fling variety. Let’s look into Hugo’s innermost thoughts:
Hugo: Ah, ma petite carte verte!
NOOOOOOO! Please tell me Dawn is dreaming. That Mary stopped by and put something special in Dawn's muffins to stop her incessant whining.
Has KM ever written a story line that wasn't totally predictable? Sorry, Karen, but I think most of us saw this coming a mile away.
BTW Wanders - you and Mrs. W. are either much braver or crazier than I am. Driving a 22-year old car across the country?!! Glad to see you made it to Utah!

Friday: Call me naive, but I didn't see this one coming. I expected Mary, her salmon muffins and a bunch of cliched platitudes.
I thought Hugo had to go back to gay Paree because his school work was done. Is he overstaying his visa? Is Mary going to call ICE and report this? Stay tuned.
I'd like to think that this is some sleep deprived hallucination Dawn is having. She'll come out of it and to her disappointment it'll be Mary at the door trying to cheer her up by spouting platitudes in French.
