Today's Boldface Haiku is titled
"Cool, Confident Toby Regains The Upper Hand With Her Brainy Wordsmithing".
Insecure! Emotional affair!
Can't communication lapses!
A while! Express!
Late never.
Jeez, Ian's right hand is about twice as big as his left.
"Better late than never." How clever.

@Nance, your BFH title is the only place in which the words "Toby" and "brainy" will appear together.
Okay, this canoodling-light session took about 1 minute 27 seconds. Ian spent a lot more time with Hilton Berkes. I predict a week-long mandatory victory lap for Mary as Toby thanks her over and over for suggesting that she open a dialogue with her husband.
We have Communication! I’d like to believe that this is the end of the arc, but there’s still the obligatory Mary victory lap. Will it be on a power walk, or over muffins? Oh, the suspense. I’m not sure if there is a dangling storyline concerning Jannie, but perhaps her being left behind by her classmate and his new girlfriend signified a kind of lame comeuppance. At any rate, we’ve been treated to some of Moy’s most inept writing, and that’s saying a lot!
Are emotional affairs grounds for divorce in California? "It feels good to express our feelings": while nobody may have ever uttered those words in real life, it is why we all come here, isn't it?
I'm still waiting for Jannie to file a false Sexual Harassment claim against Ian. Ian will get fired without anyone looking into it, but then Mary will swoop in and save the day, and Ian will get his job back. This of course will cause the me too movement to have even more shades of doubt put on it. But then Mary will save the day again reminding everyone that Sexual Harassment does exist and she'll have to fess up about the time she put the muffin on that guy's head. What I'm saying is, we've still got 2 years worth of story line here people.
@Yahoonski: don't really need any 'grounds' in CA. Anything goes.
@fauxprof: I too would like to see some more of Jannie. She was entertaining, at least.
Miss Scarlet raises an interesting point. Are there any characters at all in this strip who are really compelling? Is there anyone who holds your interest? Are there any regulars who you care about?
Some of the cameos have had their day. Jannie and Entertainer Esme (she sings AND dances AND smokes AND home-wrecks) have some pepper in their personality. But who else?
Long-time residents of the Wandersverse might know of a few others, but I don't (I'm such a newbie here that I don't know who Aldo Kelrast or Hilton Berkes is).
But for the most part, this strip is the bland leading the bland. And it doesn't have to be.

SUNDAY 02/17 -- "You could get a young hottie any day"
Pretty strong words for a Mary Worth. I mean, my KIDS are reading this newspaper!
It's good to know the Anonymous progeny are perusing newspapers, but I'd be very surprised if that includes reading Mary Worth. Today's installment reminds me that MW is the comic strip equivalent of Seinfeld's "show about nothing."
These two are making me want to throw up.
Why is Toby ensuring her old, fat, ridiculously-bearded husband that he can get a young hottie? Ewww. That's creepy.
All I can say about Sunday's strip: Easy, stomach.
Toby’s assurance to Ian baffles me. If he was confident of his powers of attraction, wouldn’t he be LESS vulnerable to flattery and insincerity? Instead, he was a sitting duck for Jannie’s blandishments. It’s a good thing these two bozos have not brought a bunch of Cameron kiddies into the world.
Bite your tongue, KitKat! I live in fear (well, not actually) that twins L’il Ian and Lillian will show up after one of the Camerons’ break up make up stories. Of course 9 months in the Worthiverse is like three years in real time, so I have years to prepare myself.
Carlye and Garnet have said it more elegantly, but my first reaction to Sunday’s strip was simply: barf.
What? No tee hees?
Over in Milford ... Maxwell Bacon's BACK!
Today's strip ... eww, gross! But the art *does* make the Camerons both look amazing!
Can we please get back to Jannie again? She was a lot more fun than the regulars in this strip!
