Some women are like this in the kitchen. My mother was a bit like this. She tended to go into attack mode when faced with something a bit out of the ordinary. :)
In the 29 years of this comic, I think mashed potatoes was Lynn Johnston’s favorite food item to experience redirected anger from Elly Patterson. You never saw Elly this angry with carrots, peas or Brussels sprouts.
I never really got Michael calling Elly “ma” all the time. I never once heard someone call their mother that. Lynn’s obviously basing it off of something, though.

Who holds a hot pot while you mash potatoes? I never had somebody hold the pot for me.

Elly also needs some castor oil. She looks constipated in panel 3.

I love Lynn’s cartoon sound effects. She always draws them in such a way that one can imagine the whole idea.

I make fudge for Christmas and have to stir it. The pot turns. So I put one of the carpet non skid things under it, the ones with the holes.
