Ah the vagaries of popup toast – when my first toaster died [ did not want to attempt a fix since I knew I was more of a Harold than a RedGreen or McGyver ] I purchased and inexpensive name brand – Scary? It was god damned terrifying! On the third morning it decided to make its mark on the kitchen ceiling and succeeded. Back it went in trade for a toaster oven. That has stood the test of time, grilled cheese and reheated pizza, fries and KFC.
It has now entered semi-retirement in the basement with the Breville taking a smaller place on the kitchen counter and not having to worry about a the smoke alarms because someone left something combustible sitting on top of the oven when using it [repeatedly].
You _did_ do a strip on the doomsday clock.

(disregard the “did do”, I dunno what was in my head when I thought it was valid English)
That’s perfectly valid English for non-formal conversation. I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Heck, it’s valid in formal conversation, too, in exactly the situation which you used it. Perfectly fine English in any context.
My toaster also makes grilled cheese sandwiches, and they too pop out when ready. But it’s a very civilized pop, something like ELO.

Does this mean that I should try to fix my toaster oven with duct tape?
Toast is the only food that scares you? So opening biscuit cans isn’t a problem?
Ahhh! Biscuit pop! Run!
Damnit man, next time put a warning before you suggest something scary like that.
Also, does this mean that Adam has PTSD, Popup Toast Stress Disorder?
Just wait until your daughter’s on solids. All KINDS of food surprises await! 😀
Eyeballs.
Microwave popcorn for a last meal scares me more than the thought of impending doom.
You did one about being “snuck up on while wearing ear buds”, in a strip about various dances you do: https://www.bugmartini.com/comic/dance-fever/
