Well, I would have liked to have heard more about Wilbur's time away as well. But perhaps answering the questions left unanswered just isn't why we are here. Let's get on with Toby's birthday party! Wait, it's over? We missed that, too? Okay... maybe there could just be some more talking then. That's always good for a week or so.

So are Mary and Wilbur an item now?
I hope the Camerons are sticking around and not simply making a cameo. Ian has reached into his 1977 closet for his outfit, and Toby is being sarcastic about those “divine” muffins. Who brings muffins, especially carrot ones, to a birthday party? Were the muffins in lieu of a real gift? Mary strikes me as a tightwad who thinks her disgusting muffins are the perfect all-occasion item. Yuck.
Felicitations, everyone! It's good to be back. There's nothing like carrot muffins, champagne on ice, a jaunty sweatervest-turtleneck combo, and the best decals in Party City to help Toby celebrate her special day.
As for you, Mary, I have not one single felicitation to spare for you. Your carrot muffins may or may not have been divine, but the rest of the Variety were positively infernal. Your constant meddle-enabling of this pathetic man-child is getting even older than that lilac cowl neck sweater (which, by the way, reeks of cat urine and fish flakes). Good day to you, madam!
They were fascinated? I'd be horrified if I knew that a friend of mine purposely let his daughter think he was dead for a week.
I think this comic strip takes place in an alternate universe.
Did Wilbur talk about his rage, self pity and drunkenness, which led to his falling overboard? Where is his sense of shame?
Toby greets Mary and Wilbur as they arrive:
"Uh, Mary, I asked you to bring a cake."
"You want cake, go to a bakery. I don't do cake. I do muffins. Hope you like carrots."

After reading this morning's strip, I berated my wife for never serving me divine carrot muffins. I can't describe the look she gave me. I miss dour, portly, tweed-jacketed Ian Cameron. I don't like the way this storyline is starting out.
I am kind of glad that we are seeing other characters, really I am. I'm kinda looking forward to hearing about Toby's birthday crisis, if that's where this is going, really I am. I'm pretty sick of Wilbur no matter what words come out of his stupid mouth, really I am!
Interesting that Toby is an Aquarian. Perhaps her penchant for figures crafted from Sculpey clay comes from her astrological sign. Betting she likes unicorns also.
Ian decided to go all out and invite each and every one of Toby's friends: Mary and Wilbur.

Just learned that Carrot Cake Day is (was) February 3. Mary must have missed it too.
Judging by his expression, Ian is less interested in the muffins than in the brownies. How else to get through an event like this?
Either that or he's an Ian-puppet on Toby's arm. I would say "run for your lives" but it's only Mary and Wilbur.
