Mary Worth 2859

Mr. Aurora has been very busy remodeling Wilbur's bathroom while he traveled the world. Such a lovely artisan subway tile.

What are you sorry about Wilbur? Are you apologizing for taking off on your worldwide tour without talking to her about it? Or is it for dumping her for a Colombian con-artist? Or is it for your sense of entitlement when you came back? Or is it for being creepy and stalking her? A little clarity would be appreciated.
Oh and Norman Bates would complete the scene.

I'm starting to worry about my own mental health. The more boring this strip gets, the more I can't stop thinking about it. Is that normal, Dr Wanders?

KitKat said...

Unfortunately for Mr. Allora and all his labor, distracted Wilbur forgot to turn on the exhaust fan, and the subway tiles loosen and begin to fall off,

Wanders, is this the first toilet sighting in MW? I know we’ve seen bathrooms before (I recall Iris in the Beedie bathroom with Tommy - yikes) but I don’t remember this level of detail.

I'm concerned about Mary Worth and Me's Family Friendly policy. Today's Mary Worth strip is hot and steamy all by itself.

Movie trivia: The first appearance of an actual toilet was in Hitchcock’s “Psycho”. Now we have the first appearance of a toilet in Mary Worth, coupled with Norman Bates references over the past couple of days. Will we see Tommy Beedie, dressed as Iris, showing up with a butcher knife? (Tommy and Iris are pretty much indistinguishable anyway.)

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled

"Not Exactly St Anne's: Wilbur Has His Revelation In The Presence Of The Porcelain God".

"You were always
On my mind..."
Sorry...Wrong.

I'm hoping Sunday will gift us with seven or eight more panels of Wilbur in the shower so we can see his hot bod from every possible angle. Why? Well, it's like when your dad catches you smoking and makes you smoke a whole pack. Aversion therapy. I figure when Moy actually sees such an array of wet flab, she'll pack this story in and move on to the next Toby/Ian crisis.

That panel is what I'd see in Silent Hill.

Tim said...

I'd imagine one of the things Wilbur is sorry about is scalding himself in that shower.

MissScarlet said...

First, I'd like to thank June for the steam. And then I'd like to point out that the Magic Marker is still working really well.

@fauxprof, picturing Tommy Beedie dressed as Iris and carrying a butcher knife had me rolling on the floor - hahahahahaha! And you're correct - all Tommy needs to do is swap his wife beater for a ruffled blouse.

Tim said...

If isn't stabbed to death by Norman Bates Wilbur will end up going to hospital with severe burns from the steaming water. While there receiving skin grafts Wilbur will meet a lovely Latina nurse. He will get triggered. The nurse will inevitably hold a pillow over his face. Not because she wants to harm him but that's Wilbur's face we're talking about.

I suspect the silhouette is Wilbur holding an "As Seen On TV" bath brush/microphone combo designed to accompany his shower radio...

DWET said...

Oh, my stars! Thank goodness the steam tastefully covers Wilbur's gentleman parts! (I don't know how much beauty I can take!)

Yahoonski wins.

I can't believe that we are watching the in-the-shower transformation from loser to country music author. Saturday's strip even has the name of his first hit -- "Iris I'm sorry, I was wrong". Twang!.....

Iris I'm sorry, I was wrong
Wontcha take me back darlin'
It's been far too long
My hairs just lie flat
In the steaming hot shower
No spray can lift them
Only you have the power

I was wrong, ain't no denyin'
I'm tired of being alone
Can't stop whinin' and cryin'
The Bogota beach was a cruel illusion
Leavin' it all behind me
In my pickup truck cruisin'

Iris I'm sorry, I was wrong
Wontcha take me back darlin'
It's been far too long
You're the top of my muffin
My pastrami on rye
Only you have the power
To leave that Zak guy

LouiseF said...

Sandi Ego, a truly outstanding testimony to Wilbur's combover! Since he appears to be showered not only by water but also by milk (thanks to June...), perhaps his hairs will benefit from that shower after all..

DWET said...

@Anonymous at 1:40 a.m.: Well, really, we all win! ... YAY, WILBUR!!!

KitKat said...

Sandi Ego, your talents are unlimited. I see CMA and Grammy awards in your future. I can’t say the same for Wilbur. BTW, everyone else in Wilbur’s building is getting an unwelcome surprise when they turn on their hot water taps and only cold water comes out. “#%|€*??!!

fauxprof said...

An entire Sunday Summary consisting of nothing but Wilbur in the shower (shudder!) What kind of bad karma is poor June working off?

MONDAY

Try holding your phone the way Wilbur is holding in in p2. It just does not work.

I was wondering who the guy with the pencil mustache and goatee was in the picture above Wilbur's desk, then I realized that it's (I think) Dawn. And I wonder where he got those books with the colorful covers? I guess not from the library, since all of their books are grey.

And is Mary trying to lure Wilbur back to Lookout Point again? Seems a little ominous. Oh well, at least she has eyeballs. Or maybe the disappearing eyeball problem has resolved itself? It was a big problem back in 2016 (I'm a little behind the times.)
