Toby, if you're going to bake half a potato, you're going to need less batter and more bananas.

Shouldn't it say, "Meanwhile, Toby STILL has problems making a dessert for a Charterstone meeting." And if Toby is such a lousy cook, how is Ian so portly?
I love the Dr. McCoy reference in the s.m., Wanders, and Nance, you picked up the baton perfectly!
How many weeks have passed in Toby’s kitchen? Are there disgusting bowls, spoons, etc. all over, including the floor?
MDMaryTed, I’m thinking Chinbeard eats out a lot. I wouldn’t eat anything Toby touched, let alone cooked or baked herself.
In yesterday’s strip, why did Mary and Saul act like Madi is a toddler, not a teenager? Madi’s old enough to decide if she wants to bake with Mary, go with Saul to the vet, or, most likely, STAY HOME.
Obviously part of Toby's problem is a lack of counter space. Perhaps Mary will point out that a counter placed against that bare wall under the cupboards would give her adequate room to lay out and organize her ingredients.
In yesterday's strip, my thought was "Greta is going be diagnosed with cancer." Why would Saul mention where he's taking his dog unless it's foreshadowing?
Madi is grieving. Greta and Madi bond. Greta dies. Madi & Saul grieve. Saul and Madi bond. Saul doesn't get a new dog, he adopts Madi. Mr. Venezuela is never heard from again. Madi & Saul never appear in the strip again.
Yes, these lurches in the space-time continuum are disorienting. We spent days and days watching two minutes in MW time and now we're hurtling all over the place.
What did we miss? Does Saul know that Madi and Greta are now besties? Is Madi's attitude toward Saul any better? Damaged minds want to know.
Meanwhile, June's depiction of the kitchen carnage is over the top, but amusingly so. (I surprised my bride recently by making a pan of cornbread from a box mix, and it wasn't that difficult. And I didn't trash the kitchen in the process.)
So now I suppose Mary will drag Madi over to Toby's place so she can teach them both how to bake. Afterward, Mary will warn Madi, "Don't let this happen to you."
Finally, Toby, just like Saul, is holding the spoon wrong. Sheesh.
I wanna say that Toby is making a double batch of banana nut bread and completely forgot about the nuts. But that isn't funny, is it? Maybe Mary always has nuts on hand? Maybe Madi will walk to the store for nuts? Maybe rum is a good substitute for nuts? You'll never know till you try.
I want to nominate this for panel of the year. Banana peels flung hither and yon, an entire raw egg on the counter, and two large and gloppy mixing bowls. I can only say two things for Toby: she has managed not to splatter her tablet, and there are no raisins in evidence.
Toby must have hit the liquor cabinet already. It looks like she's making banana bread, and that's something they often teach you to make in foods class in grade school. Kids can usually make banana bread, and Toby can't even get the egg in the bowl.

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled
"Trapped In A Ripple Of The Time-Space Continuum, Toby Reaches Out".
What the...?
Mary,
Help!

Bravo, Wanders, although Toby may be more of a mixologist than she is either a sculptor or a baker.

KitKat,

FINALLY, back to Toby and her disastrous dessert!
Wonderful comments, Wanders and friends!

RobC the vet will explain that Greta’s cancer was caused by the constant wearing of bow-tie collars.
Hooray! Toby is back! And apparently she was never taught to "clean up as you go" in Home Ec. class. I'm sure Mary will take care of that omission...

Martha Stewart, Charterstone emergency! Oh Mary, you can come, too, maybe learn a thing or two.
