Mary Worth 2719

Bogota is an inland city. But really, who cares?

Well, we can’t unsee that. And are they at the Bogota version of the Kalihari Waterpark?

Looks like Wilbur is giving Ian a run for his money!

What a way to start Monday morning - aughhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

Like his "dancing," Wilbur's still just standing still. Just like Karen Moy - dead in the water.

Is there any doubt Pedro will appear soon, with a magnificent body and tiny red speedo?

Since I saw this strip at 6 AM this morning I've been unable to eat.

Once again KM fails to do her homework on South America. Maybe he's in Bogota Maine. (I live in Maine and I know there is no such place, but if KM can make Bogota near a beach, I can make Bogota in Maine.)

For KM's perusal, here is a guide what to do in Bogota. Note that it doesn't include beaches.

A Speedo? My God, man, have you no decency?

Wilbur and Fabiana look like they are having a wonderful time, the time of their lives, I dare say.

Does Salsa involve any lifting? The water is a wonderful place to practice lifts.

Lift her, Wilbur! Lift her!

Eye bleach! WHERE'S THE EYE BLEACH?!?

AHHHH! MY EYES!!!!!!!

Delayed comment this morning; I needed to clean the puke off my keyboard first.

Once I got past the image of Wilbur, my mind went to the recent summer Olympics. I expect to see a dead body floating by in the backdrop in a few seconds.

Side note from Sunday--I do love Pedro as a character, if not only for the fact that he repeatedly yells at Wilbur. Hopefully we see him again, perhaps at dinner. Maybe he could become Wilbur's relationship/life coach. "No Senor Wilbur! That's not how you do it!"

Lastly, let's not miss the factual leap that Wilbur is able to travel the world on the salary of his job, a job which a meddlesome biddie is currently conducting for him a continent away.

Can’t wait to see him wearing that at the next pool party!

Geez, June, couldn't you have waited to draw Wilbur until he was out far enough in the water for it to be up to his chin?

LouiseF said...

Are we supposed to infer that Wilbur and Fabiana's obvious delight illustrates the answer to the question being asked of Wendy? Either that or Wendy has turned into the Oracle at Delphi. Mary does look a bit goddess-like in panel 2.

If this isn't a 100% rock solid guarantee winner for the panel of the year, I don't know what is. If I were in Vegas I'd be betting the house on it.

TimP said...

I don't want to further shatter anyone's fragile psyche after viewing the, um, unpleasantness above, but bear in mind that is also in the low sixties or so at the Bogota 'beach'.

Like a strip club the fun will disappear when the money runs out. Wilbur may end up writing a survival story on himself soon, maybe after waking up in a bathtub full of ice and missing a kidney.

I am just coming out of lurking to comment on yesterday's comic. Though Wilbur in a Speedo is the kind of horrifying weird that normally gets a Panel of the Year nomination, I was completely entranced by yesterday's panel of Pedro inches from Wilbur's face shouting, "Can you DO that?" in Wilbur's ear. Especially since it implies Pedro creeping up behind Wilbur, and then leaning forward, possibly resting his hands on his knees, to make up for the seven inch height difference other panels have made clear.

Another thing I forgot to mention: Here we go with Mary spending two weeks on one letter (obviously written by mopey Iris in class when she should be listening to her lecture on "Wasting Time on The Internet" This is a real live course taught at the University of Pennsylvania.)

If you are interested, here is the list of dumb courses being taught, some at Ivy League Schools. (I'm sure they are teaching all of these at Charterstone U)

Lol, yes at 10,000 feet in the andes, if they could find a pool it better be heated. Lots of pretty women and emeralds, but no beach, although they may have taken a bus 21 hours to cartegena. But as was said earlier "who cares". I see this being a life lesson thing as was the last story.

Dave in Parma said...

On the bright side, it could have been Mary frolicking in the waves in a thong.

No, you're right: there is no bright side.

Ian Cameron, PhD said...

What a delightfully charming couple! Wilbur’s rippling physique puts even my own robust build to shame as they frolic beachside on the High Altiplano. I shall have to ask Toby to get my g-string out of mothballs for the next Charterstone pool party.

Dave in Parma said...

Tuesday: I wonder how long the Mary quote strip has been on the shelf waiting for a mail-it-in opportunity?

In other news, check out today/Tuesday's Google Doodle: it's Fabiana!

BTW, I think just about everybody takes off their glasses before they go in the water. Not smart, Wilbur.

Nance said...

I'm not sure I missed anything by being Away for a few days. (In the strip, that is.) Mopey Iris makes me wonder if KM reads her own "storylines".

What a goofy, weird, pointless mess it all is.

And, what about Sue at Medical Practice?

Yahoonski said...

Regarding Dave in Parma's comment yesterday, I would remind everyone how fetching Mary looked in her bathing suit back at the desert spa. True, it wasn't a thong, but still. As for today's "cause for applause," I think it's more like Mary's advice will "cause ya some nausea."

LouiseF said...

Uh oh.. Straying into greeting card territory today..Wonder if KM is on vacation...

fauxprof said...

@LouiseF, if KM was on vacation, the writing would get better—even if the substitute was a middle school class project. Other than that, maybe it’s the mood lighting, but Mary keeps getting younger looking all the time. I’ll have what she’s having!

Jerry: Do women know about shrinkage?

Elaine: What do you mean like laundry?

Jerry: No, like when a man goes swimming afterwards.

Elaine: It shrinks?

Jerry: Like a frightened turtle!

Elaine: Why does it shrink?

George Costanza: It just does.

Elaine: I don't know how you guys walk around with those things.
