Any concerns I had that Pedro and Fabiana were merely grifters looking for an easy mark evaporate when I see the distress in Pedro's eyes as he watches with horror as Wilbur profanes the sensual art of dance. Pedro cares for nothing except the salsa!

I've got to hand it to Fabiana, kicking that high, and in high heels, can't be easy. Maybe Pedro should give up on the salsa and switch to a maypole dance. Wilbur would be a natural as the pole.
Wilbur dancing looks like a walrus trying to get off dry land and back to the water. I think that cousin Pedro's estudio is floundering and they see a mark with money to invest. Either that or they want Wilbur to be a drug mule.
Wilbur and Dawn are two of a kind: clueless and will latch on the first thing that pays minimal attention to them. I wonder what the first Mrs. Wetson was like. Has she ever been in the strip? Any of you old time MW readers know anything about her? (I never read Mary Worth until I started reading this blog. They use to have it in the back of the NY Post with the lottery numbers, the comic strip Pogo and Joey Adams lame jokes, which gave me even more reason not to read it.)
Oh and one more thing: The way Wilbur is dancing so far away from Fabiana reminds me of the nuns would say to us if we were dancing too close to a guy: "Leave room for the Holy Spirit". Wilbur must have gone to Catholic School as well.
I think Wilbur is just content to watch the show in front of him.
(Great comments, Wanders!)

Step and together!
Step and together!
Señor Wilbur, you
Have to move too!
Wilbur is afraid that once he gets that prodigious belly of his moving that it won't stop.
At least when they get to the 'together' part of the dance Wilbur and Fabiana's concave parts line up nicely (and no, I don't mean that in an NSFW way).
Regina, as I recall Wilbur's ex-wife lives in NY. Dawn lived with her until her mother remarried. Dawn thought the new husband was a dweeb, and so decided to move out to California to live with Wilbur. This was back about 20 years ago, when Dawn was a wise-cracking, tough-edged teenager. Both Wilbur and Dawn have lost a lot of their sparkle over the years. I think Iris is a bad influence.

I wonder how Wilbur and Fabiana met each other.
I'm reminded of this for some reason: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X67R7m4C8Ug
Maybe this is a Modern Family ripoff. Fabiana will be played by Sofia Vergara. We will find that she has a precocious son named Fabio. Wilbur will bring them to Charterstone and hilarity will ensue. Or not.
The first panel has me employing the type of mental gymnastics that exasperate and exhaust, but do not titillate. I am so confused by Fabiana's attraction to Wilbur. My imagination will attack me until I learn the backstory of this ill-fated romance. I must do something to clear my head.
Years ago my husband and I signed up with another couple for ballroom dancing lessons. My husband struggled a bit so the instructor grabbed my husband and started dancing with him. My husband looked at me and said, "This is so much easier with Larry!"
Expect a Mary siting soon...Outside again in her garden hat, she will soon rescue Iris, who will be arriving home bedraggled from her economics class where they are learning about the President's proposed reforms to the US tax code...
@SandiEgo-ha!
@Fauxprof at 9:48. I'm with you on the Modern Family ripoff, but was thinking it might be more like Wilbur and Pedro returning to Charterstone playing the Cam and Mitchell roles. Diversity ensues.
I'm thinking Wilbur's US immigration status may be the sexiest thing about him...
So is there a box on the Visa application for Columbia for "Learning how to Salsa"?
I just want to know how Fabiana fits into Wilbur's "I survived" series. Maybe it's "I survived Wilbur".
