Mary Worth 2786

Although Wilbur hasn't uttered a word of agreement with Mary, he walks away consoled, knowing a bag full of warm muffins will do more good for his emotional state than three hours of therapy with Mary Worth. "Take these muffins home, Wilbur. Dawn already knows how to bury her feelings in a good muffin."

I dunno Wilbur. Some of those like they have a touch of mold on them.. But Wilbur, being the gluttonous pig he is, will eat them.

"Mary wraps up Wilbur's visit with a parting gift". What is this? A game show???

I guess this is the end of this story arc. Let's get to a pool party with Wilbur gallivanting in his speedo.

Another parting gift from Mary laced with a therapeutic but safe level of opioids.

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled

"Having Lost The Grand Prize Of Hot Latina Love And Adult-Ed Amour, Wilbur Accepts The Consolation Of A Do-Gooder's Doggie Bag".

Upset...
Blessings...
Turn around!

Great mention of Dawn, Wanders. She's conspicuously silent on the whole Iris issue. You'd think she'd be eager to tell Wilbur all about her encounter with Iris at the disco. Of course, she would have to mention her icky relationship with the Parkour Professor. Then maybe her near-miss with the married doctor. On second thought, Dawn, don't say a thing.

I hope those blueberry muffins help make Wilbur's tummy brain feel better.

Wilbur has begun to count his blessings by counting the number of muffins in the bag.

I'm relieved to see Mary has provided Wilbur with one of those zip-loc bags that has a sliding closure instead of those chumpy ones you have to press closed...Of course, Wilbur will probably finish the muffins off before they have any chance to get stale, so the storage bag type may not matter. In any case, I will miss these muffins; they've been such a staple of the past week, they may qualify as a Recurring Character, eligible for Worthy Award nomination next year..

Anonymous at 10:46 beat me to it. Looks like Mary figures that six of her 'blessings' should be enough to tide the Weston clan over the next few days of mopey glumness.

I don't believe for a minute that Wilbur is going to save any of those speckled treats for Dawn.

LouiseF, Wilbur will likely finish those muffins before he gets to the Weston digs. Sorry Dawn! Those muffins are part of Mary's scheme to keep Ask Wendy. For all her blathering to Wilbur about having his health, he's obese with terrible eating habits and no exercise program. (Cavorting on Bogota Beach and fumbling at salsa dancing do not qualify as exercise.) Mary will cackle as Wilbur continues to deteriorate. I foresee more awful food from Mary being foisted on the clueless Wilbur.

I didn't get a chance yesterday to remark how the muffin-handoff panel reminded me of the famous Creation of Adam scene by Michelangelo. (You remember Michelangelo, don't you? He was the sculptor of that "Reminds me of Dave" statue.)

Either there's a surprisingly heavy concentration of framed art in the hallway outside the door of Mary's suite, or Mary dropped the muffins off with Wilbur at Casa de Weston and is slowly backing out the door to her escape after placating the wild Wilbur with a bag of muffins.

Pity George Romero is no longer with us. He would have taken one look at Panel Two and rushed off to make Dawn of the Muffin Head.
