It's probably best that Wilbur stops listening to Country Western music. It hasn't been helping. He really needs to change his luck, and the Charterstone Jukebox is just the trick! Just open up Spotify on your cell phone. That'll lift your spirits. I had a bad week, too. But the Charterstone Jukebox made everything alright.

Imagine how poor June feels when she gets the scripts and realizes that it’s another day of drawing Wilbur. Not only that, but Wilbur in the bathroom.
Wilbur, by the way, does not seem to understand the concept of batteries. He’s probably been wondering why the TV remote and the garage door opener don’t work anymore, either. And his watch stopped months ago.
Jeez, Wilbur in the shower AGAIN?
Well, it could be worse, if you get my drift.

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled
"Big Life, Big Problems" Or "'How I Spend My Evenings' by Wilbur Weston".
(Radio...
Jeopardy, alone!
Not!)
@fauxprof--LOL re: batteries. I immediately thought of the same thing. What a sap he is!
Wilbur, just plug in your clock radio with an extension cord and put it right in the shower. That will put your other problems in perspective in no time, and it will rid of us of more scenes of you showering and singing. Of course, it may knock out all the electricity at Charterstone, but it will be worth it.
Are we still reading Mary Worth, or have we stumbled into "The Born Loser"?
If life hands you lemons ... make lemonade!
I can't say I've ever sought comfort in a time of emotional distress by power showering. Does Maren Koy know any real people?
Tuesday: The rest of my hair fell out, leaving just the combover.
Wednesday: I sat on my glasses and broke the lenses.
Thursday: The soles gave out on my old sneakers that still need replacing.
Friday: I'm reduced to scraping rancid bits of mayo from the threads on the lid of the jar with a toothpick.
Saturday: Mary drops by with muffins and all is well with the world.
Sunday: After a sentimental yet sage quote from Leonid Brezhnev, Wilbur is shown beginning the cycle anew via an intensive Mary Worth Meddlin' Session while Dawn and Harlan, and Zak and Iris remain tastefully off panel.
What?! His columns are in "Jeopardy"?!! You'd think Wilbur would be excited to have been picked up by one of the longest running game shows on TV.... "I'll take Advice Columns for $500, Alex." "This Santa Royale, California column was recently dropped by its local newspaper when it was found to have caused chronic narcolepsy in readers who knew the columnist." "What is 'Ask Wendy'?"
@Tim--No.
@LouiseF--Stellar Comment Of The Day. Even the relative clause after readers is entirely unnecessary ;-)
Batteries, Wilbur; they are called batteries. You can replace them.
Louise- we are not worthy, we are not worthy!

I'm coming late to the party, but the batteries were the first thing I thought of. How has Wilbur lived so long being this stupid?
@anonymous 9:58: I'm thinking more of Ziggy. At least Ziggy rarely talks.
If we are supposed to feel sorry for Wilbur it's not working. Just like his radio.
Nance...Good point!
TimP - I know many of us have grown tired of Wilbur and his problems, but I would so love to see Karen write in your suggestions for the rest of the week. Too funny!
Maybe it's a good time for Mary to coax Wilbur back to the unguarded cliff edge at Lookout Point.
It is pretty crappy of the newspaper in your own town dropping your column, has Maren Koy been in the same situation?
So many great comments on this page. Thanks for the laughs, everyone.
Wanders, sorry about the tough week you had! At least you can take comfort in the knowledge that you are not Wilbur Weston, and you will never, no matter what, be as pathetic or boring as Wilbur Weston. Also, you are probably capable of changing the batteries in your radio.
Why doesn’t Wilbur just move to a city with a local newspaper that carries the column?
