I know it's "just" a comic but I feel obligated to let every reader know that the burnt toast thing is a weird myth.

FAST: Face, Arms, Speech, Time. Check their smile, check if they can hold up both arms, check if they have slurred speech or can speak at all, and call emergency services asap because every second matters. Have them rest peacefully while you wait for help.

There is potentially life saving medication that can even reverse some effects of a stroke, but it is time sensitive.

How soon does it need to be administered and do ambulances keep it on hand?

I am not qualified to answer those questions, but I know that if you tell emergency services that you think someone is having a stroke that's one of the times an ambulance is going to be siren on, lights on, speeding through the streets.
