Soon, Mary's (Personally Developed) Magical Muffins™ will appear wrapped up in polypropylene in 7-Eleven's and Sunoco A-Plus marts all across California and the Pacific Northwest. The Sunshine State is about to get a whole lot sunnier.
Congratulations to Nance for yesterday's haiku title, which referenced the "pink path of high-stakes baking." Now we know that the entire Weston Muffin Love Fest was all just a set up for the real story about Mary's junkfood empire.

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled
"Playing The Character Of The Muffin Man Will Be Ted Miller".
Mary! Delicious! Gift!
Many.
Have this! Deal!
Yep, Nance called it! Good job!
And I am now on board with those here who have been calling for the Muffins to be classified as a recurring character, since it looks like they're going to be the star of the show for some time. And the Muffins are just as boring as the rest of the cast.

I don't care how good those muffins taste. Isn't kind of disturbing that Mary removes those paper muffin cup things before she serves them?
Gosh, looks like Ted is a life support system for a chin. My goodness!
I sense a connection between Mary’s Magic Muffins and California’s recent legalization of marijuana. I’ll bet Ted the Character’s proposition is somehow related to the Dispensary/grow house he’s invested in.
Ted seems like the kind of guy who keeps coming up with scores of start-up investment deals that either fail miserably or turn into pyramid schemes.
Beware Jeff, Ted will be looking for a partner. While he's taking your girlfriend.

There's definitely something psychoactive in those muffins. Muffins are generally one of the easiest things to bake, but he's reacting like Mary made something extraordinary. I think they were the first thing I learned to bake when I was a kid.
That's some pretty impressive synchronized muffin eating!
John Dill to the rescue!!!!
Fauxprof, if only! I can't help noticing that Dr. Jeff is not chomping down on Mary's muffin appetizer...Maybe he doesn't want to spoil his appetite, or else he gets drug tested at work...
Maybe Ted can have a chat with Zak and they can have an app tie-in with Zakis and Mary's muffins.
Panel one: It's a muffin race! On your marks! ... Get set! ... CHOMP!
The Sunshine State is Florida.
Pretty sure Ted meant to say, "unwashed masses!"
Gah! A face from my childhood coming to haunt me! "S.D." Kluger, as voiced by Fred Astaire! The Postman narrator from Rankin Bass "Santa Claus is Coming to Town!". He even has the little line on either side of his prodigious chin so the stop motion animators can open and close his gaping maw.
gigantor... chin...
I love the way Ted and Mary are completely ignoring Jeff. He just keeps babbling away as if they're listening to him.
Is it me or does anyone else thinks Ted looks like Clutch Cargo?

Hey, what about the back story of Jeff and Ted's friendship? Anyone else suspicious that Ted has a long history of get-rich-quick schemes that cheat unsuspecting rubes?
@KitKat--I think that theory gives KM an awful lot of credit. I think Ted Miller is just a vehicle for the Mary's Muffins storyline, just like the Muffins As Comfort Food and Muffins As Appetizer.
I'm still trying to figure out what the dark spots are on the muffins. Chocolate? Raisins? Big chunks of of moldy cheese? Opioids? Seems like an odd choice of appetizer no matter what's in them.
Didn't Betty White do this bit on SNL a few years ago? Her dusty muffin?
