Oh, Toby, it's gonna' be all right. Just keep remembering what Cal said, "Ignore your problems. Focus on the good stuff, like Frisbee golf, and you'll feel fine."
Toby needs to launch a pre-emptive strike and complain to School Management that Helen is harassing her. Unless Helen teaches birdwatching, she's going to have a hard time explaining those binoculars.
"And what if Ian leaves me and marries Cal's mother? And what if Cal leaves me and marries Helen? And what if . . . I'm never getting out of this car."
@Garnet commented yesterday that Toby does not seem too bright. Today’s installment underscores that. The prospect of losing it all “because of one woman’s wild accusations against me” has turned Toby into a quivering mass of tears. She has no gumption to stand up to Helen’s “wild accusations”? As @Yahoonski aptly notes above, why not counter those wild accusations by going on offense against Helen? Once again, KM presents us with a fragile female who’s clueless.
Is Toby still sitting in the SRCc parking lot? Will Cal suddenly pop up out of nowhere and exclaim, “Hi Ms. C! Are you having trouble ignoring something?”
I must complement June today. My first thought at seeing Wanders choice of panel today was Lichtenstein. Pretty cool!
Yes, Toby should complain to someone (we decided that 'school management' wasn't really a thing, right?). But deciding to teach at all used up her personal advocacy for the year. Maybe next year.
Okay. I've finally figured it out. I think. This whole thing with the icky "white" tears? Every character who ends up crying has, at one point, eaten some of Mary's muffins, right? Mary's Magdalene Muffins. Mary's Milk of Magnesia Muffins... Mary's Milk Duds muffins...
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.
