Another Convert to the Cult of Worth! "I'll follow you anywhere, Mary!" Tomorrow, Madi shaves her head, put on a monochromatic jogging suit and empties Saul's bank account to donates it to the cult.
Wow, such great comments, and still early! Thanks for making me laugh so much, Worthiverse friends.
Mary’s in a muffin rut. Why has she abandoned Splak, kelk, salmon squares, and chicken salad appetizers? Perhaps the constant muffin making is a sign of the onset of dementia.
What I’m hoping for tomorrow and Sunday: As Mary opens the door to the Cameron digs, an epic scene of culinary disaster is revealed, with bowls of slop and broken eggs everywhere. Madi remarks, “}^%#!!” and Mary shouts, “Oh my stars!” just before slipping on a banana peel and crashing to the disgusting floor.
It's too bad, Madi was looking like one of the most engaging characters the strip had seen in a few years until Mary got at her. Maybe this is a Stepford Teen and the real Madi is tied up and gagged in Mary's closet?
You said it, Helen Clark. Especially in P2, where Madi's "...since she's a friend of YOURS, Mary" has, instead of the ring of truth, the clunk of cluelessness. And as for Mary's expression in P1, yes, plans often change when hallucinogens come into play.
I think I know why Saul’s cousin has never been referred to by her first name. She was famous, and her first name was distinctive. And she died last year. And she was a renowned pastry chef. And she taught Madi all her secrets. Madi will astound and delight Mary and Toby with her mad baking skillz. RIP Maida Heatter, the Queen of Cake, 1916-2019.
I can see Madi looking at the mess and then saying: "You're not supposed to add vodka to banana bread, lady! Who taught you to bake, the Three Stooges? Stand aside, knucklehead." (I am assuming, since she's hanging out with people of a certain generation her whole life, she will know exactly who the Three Stooges are.)
Banana bread? That's not dessert. Take the bananas and sauté them with some butter, almonds, and brown sugar, and add some rum. Then you'll have Bananas Foster, and that will definitely be more Toby's speed.

KM’s dialog is painful. What 13 y/o talks like a toddler? Madi would more likely say:
“Seriously? What… is she an idiot?”
or
“Yeah, I think I know who you’re talking about. Uncle Saul told me about that drunken blonde who was mean to his Chihuahua at a pool party.”

Okay. Yours!

Ah, the Wandersverse is snarklicious again today! I think Toby brings out the best in us.

Great comments everyone! Best BFH title, Nance.

Madi: "DON'T SPEAK TO HER, TOBY-WOMAN! SHE'S MY FRIEND, NOT YOURS! And no, we can't stay for dinner."
Aaaaaaaand ... scene.
