Wilbur Weston, a floating head so big he can't be contained in one thought cloud.
So, in other words, we are EXACTLY where we started. I'm so glad because this story is AWESOME! I hope Wilbur and Iris will get in some sort of disagreement over what's best for Tommy and break up for several weeks. Then Mary can help them get back together so that Iris and Wilbur can help Tommy get a job.

Whew! That's a relief! Iris needs Wilbur to be a role model for Tommy because of his extensive job experiences, his insight into the business world, his active lifestyle, and ability to motivate others. I feel much better about all if this now!
Every Sunday, in order to appreciate the full panoramic splendor of the three-row strip, I hit the "Buy a Print" button and then spend a moment thinking, "Well, should I?" I have to say that few things have gotten me closer than the combination of a particularly treacly Emerson quote and the Wilbur floating head.
I wonder what Elinor Kinley's up to?
I don't know what these gals are really up to while they pretend to drink tea from the magic spout-changing teapot. Something is definitely afoot - not only have they each changed clothes at least once, but Iris seems to have misplaced her pearls.
Offered for your consideration: one Iris Beedie, trapped in a closed loop dreamscape where clothing colors and background decor shift enigmatically while she tries to find an escape route for herself and her son--who may or may not exist. There'sa signpost up ahead. Next stop--The Twilight Zone.
(Exit Mr. Serling, followed by Wilbur Weston floating head. Cue theme music.)
A blue Wilbur. Could MW get any better?
How do you "lose" a Wilblob, anyway? With his girth, even his floating head balloon is so large it weighs down the panel. And then, he'd also be easily tracked by the constant noise he emanates: "num, num, sandwiches, MMMMM."
So, what real evidence do we have that Wilbur is a 'good man'?
He does seem to provide for Dawn so there's that. On the other hand, he's clearly part of the Charterstone mafia so that's a pretty strong mark against. Plus, he makes his living exploiting other people's stories of survival while fobbing off his advice column onto Mary.
As others have provided even more evidence along these lines, I just don't see the appeal. Then again, I'm not sure that Iris is quite the catch she's made out to be either so who knows?
Charterstone Mafia!!!
I can't wait for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I hear they are featuring a giant blue balloon based on a certain Mary Worth character.
Dearest Wanders, I think you err. We are at a very different place now from where we were when this fascinating "plot" started. My dear old Dad and Iris were not an item before Mary swooped in and reprogrammed Iris so that she's now fallen in love with Daddy-O. What was in those muffins, anyway?
DW ET, you must be a newish contributor... If you don't know that Iris and Wilber were once an item... I can't remember how long ago it was and I refuse to spend my time looking it up. No offense intended; just saying.
@Delilah,
Surely we can come up with something for which "a blue wilbur" is a euphenism!
