Mary Worth 2488

"Could you please send me some money? It's expensive here in in Antarctica, and my paper is only providing a $35 per dium. Turns out there are no survivors here because they are always evacuated to Australia. As soon as I get enough money scraped together, I intend to work my way across the Southern Ocean on a penguin hunter's schooner."

In panel two, Wilbur says "I may be in Antarctica". Perhaps he's finally getting a clue that he may NOT be in Antarctica? The fact that it shouldn't be dark enough to see the constellations, and that they're all wrong for the Southern Hemisphere should have been an indication, along with the snide comments from the Alaskan oil field crew he's bunking with.

Haha, a penguin hunter's schooner!

That reminded me of some of the really enjoyable television programs Michael Palin did like Around the World in Eighty Days, Pole to Pole and several more recent ones. Those shows were mind expanding and entertaining and quite possibly profitable. What Wilbur is doing and how it is in any way lucrative in this new media landscape is quite a mystery.

I can't wait for Iris to write the "dear John" (or in this case "Dear Wilbur") email.

BTW, has Iris even asked Zak what his last name? She is the most dumbest, clueless person. I'm surprised that her stupidity hasn't gotten her killed.

Who was the guy, years ago, that was hitting up Dr Drew's daughter for money? This may be similar.

"I may be in Antarctica...but my heart is still in Santa Royale. Of course, my large intestine is in a hospital in Kathmandu - all those Jerry's sandwiches have taken quite a toll."

Tsk tsk, Iris - no screens at bedtime!

Dear Wilbur, I'm pregnant!
Dear Iris, I'm not sure I'm ready to be a father again at my age.
Dear Wilbur, Not to worry.

Iris' look of vaguely cross eyed disgust in the second panel is perfect!
