"Well, Mare, I would love to come over for muffins and useless bromides, but I have to get on Youtube to find a piece of music called "Time" by Anita Knee."
"I can bring the muffins to you, Stell! I see that muffin crumb craving look in Pierre's eye."
“I made muffins earlier. Three months earlier, in fact, and they’re still available! They even took out Dawn’s wisdom teeth after her breakup with Jared. There was no need for bad blood or for general anesthesia.”
A song which some of our older members (who, me?) might remember, ‘Rock Around the Clock’ by Bill Haley and the Comets, includes a line “I’m like a one-eyed cat, peepin’ in a seafood store…”. Apparently this line has a double meaning, and I can’t help thinking of it - the line, not the meaning!- every time Libby appears in the strip.
Mary: "Oh, I apologize for pointing out Libby only has one eye. I am used to such loss ... my late husband, bless his soul, only had one testicle. Jeff is lucky enough to have two, although they are currently in my purse for safekeeping."
@MissScarlet, that dopey spiked collar aggravates me also. Maybe Estelle (I refuse to refer to her as you-know-what) thinks it’s cute — “a tough collar on my precious little boy!” [gag].
"Would you like to stop by? I made muffins earlier. PLEASE stop by. PLEEEAAASE! I'VE MADE SO MANY $#@%^&@ MUFFINS I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THEM ALL!!! I HAVE HUNDREDS!!! MAYBE THOUSANDS!!! BUT NOBODY ELSE WANTS ANY! THEY ALL AVOID ME NOW! AND I'M MAKING MORE TOMORROW!!! OH GOD PLEASE, ESTELLE, HELP ME!!!"
MissScarlet and KitKat - I agree with you about putting a stupid spiked collar on any dog. But it was the collar that Wilbur bought, and the only reason Estelle hasn't replaced it is because Auntie June wants to reuse her previous Pierre panels.

Those leashes are really short. I mean when the pets quit jumping up (which is inappropriate) can the leashes even reach to "Stell's" hands?
Mary keeps Jeff on a short leash too.
“I miss my favorite one-eyed cat. Of course, I’ve never met another one-eyed cat, thank goodness. Libby gives me the willies.”
It's all muffins all the time now. Recall when Mary offered scones and salmon squares?
I have a cat who lost an eye to cancer. No one ever refers to him as a one-eyed cat. They use his name.
Plain muffins for stell when dawn gets quiche and toby gets carrot muffins.

"OK, Mare! See you in a few."
"Why are you calling me 'Mare'"?

I made some muffs earlier, let's shorten everything Mare!
As opposed the drag of Mary's day to day interactions with all of the other one eyed cats with whom she simply can't stand to spend another moment.

Does anyone else think it's weird that Pierre has a spiked collar? He's a Frenchie, for heaven's sake, not a pit bull.

Today’s subtext: I don’t remember your animals’ names, and I can barely remember yours. Muffins?
