If things don't work out for Toby with Ian all she needs to do is go to Animal Shelter and adopt a cat or dog - cures all loneliness/unhappiness/sadness/etc.
@ Regina: I've never heard it other than lending an ear... Perhaps Toby is holding a small box containing the severed auricle of someone who shunned Mary's meddling only to suffer her implacable wrath.
Toby is thanking Mary for "the ear", but not for the coffee. It's either an etiquette breach or Toby's passive/aggressive way of rendering an opinion on Mary's coffee.
Don't be shy! I'd love to hear what you have to say about Mary Worth. Just keep it clean, that's all I ask. This is a FAMILY FRIENDLY blog. I don't want to moderate comments, but I will if I have to.
Based on Mary's eye rolling in that panel, didn't Moy forget to add "For crying out loud" are you going to tell Ian about your concerns "or not?"
ReplyDeleteI think Toby should send a letter to "Ask Wendy" for a second opinion.
ReplyDeleteI want to know why Toby has black armbands on her sweater. Who died?

ReplyDeleteToby needs major help, and not from Mary.

Ear!
Anytime. Tell concerns?
I don't know.
See bothering. Know!
I think Toby should make a list of the pros and cons.
ReplyDeleteGood grief, what a borefest. Grow a spine Toby and tell Chinbeard off.
When I read "thanks for the ear" Vincent Van Gogh immediately came to mind. I wonder why?
I love that Toby thanks Mary for her “ear” but equivocates about actually taking her advice. Ah, a glimmer of resistance.
ReplyDeleteNo muffins were harmed in the making of this week’s strips.

ReplyDeleteWhat did that woman say back at the Pax resort? "Review past..something..something..." That's what Mary should tell Toby.

ReplyDeleteEar, huh? Must've been cornmeal muffins this week.
ReplyDeleteElephant ear, maybe? I remember those from my childhood, a largish cinnamon-sugar swirl pastry. Or maybe a bearclaw?
