One thing I've alwasy admired about the Camerons is what good communicators they are. Ian has communicated very clearly that Toby is not to disturb him with her women's issues, especially while he's sleeping.
Prediction: Tomorrow's strip will simply be a huge, single panel closeup of Helen's eye, with "I'll report you to school management!" written around her cornea. (Hey, this stuff writes itself!)
Oh dear. Usually when I decide to ignore problems it involves less thinking. This has been going on for so long I am beginning to think thought bubbles about Toby thinking thought bubbles about Helen speaking word bubbles about school management.
All this just so Toby can take a mental health day from work and spend it with Mary. Since this strip is called "Mary Worth", I wouldn't think the plots would have to travel through such character torture just to get Mary involved.
Calling Karen Moy! I have observed your lazy repetitive writing through my binoculars and I am going to report you to Comics Kingdom administration. Wait, I meant management
Predictions for the next week. All involving closer and closer closeups of Helen Moss's face: Thursday: I'll Friday: report Saturday: you Sunday: Inappropriate quote from Bartlett's and a wrap up of the week with no new information. Monday: to Tuesday: school Wednesday: managemeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeent!
Just to relieve the tedium, I'm proposing a re-visit to "Carrie." You know, the scene where Mom (the wondrous Piper Laurie) tells her daughter on prom night "They're all gonna laugh at you." Yes, Toby, they're all gonna laugh at you. Because Helen's your MOM! (Also, you are an idiot.) Sheesh.

Worthiverse held hostage: Day 6.

Alert! Alert! Helen’s about to go Code Red again!
Ian is certainly a sound sleeper. He’s totally unaware that an enraged Helen Moss has invaded his bedroom.
You nailed it, Scottie.

"Lazy" and "repetitive"? But don't you like the daily twists and turns...of Toby in her bed?

Friday: report
Saturday: you

Monday: to

Toby's situation seems a little unclear. Moy, can you BANG IT OVER OUR HEADS ONE MORE TIME?
I agree that Moy is being about as lazy as possible, but she's also giving Brigman some great opportunities. Go June Go!
Okay, friends... Question: Which will go on longer:
KM's reiteration of Toby's dilemma
OR
The media's coverage of the Will Smith / Chris Rock slap?
