Kind sad for mother in law he made her cry when all she wanted him to do is have some more.

I think that's his wife and the mother-in-law is on the far right.

Any one who has a mother in law will sympathize with Everett. It's not about the last piece of pie, it's about power.

She needs to respect a NO answer the first time.

It looks like there was a speech bubble to the right of Everett's in the bottom panel. Can see the left side of the box to the right of his.

These aren't edited, the final panel usually doesn't have text. It's the silent punchline. Mother in law is emoting, wife is crying, everyone else at the table is loving the drama of a bully being set back a little bit.

I feel Everett here. I married into a family of food pushers.
