If by "check on you," you mean, "dump you," then I'm fine with that. However, I'm not sure he'll have much of a cell phone signal at the Cliffs of Insanity.

Given Estelle's past behavior with Arther/ur, she thrives on receiving passive aggressive attention. She won't dump Wilbur until he throws a spittle flecked nutty at her. Domestic abuse is a sad, horrible thing where victims can't break the cycle.
Meanwhile what are the chances of Wilbur up-chucking his scotch and dinner? Will it be purple puke?
Has Wilbur made Dawn aware that he was seeing someone? I hope not. I want Dawn to hear the commotion, burst out of her room channeling Lisbeth Salander, and kick Estelle's teeth in.
You’ve got to wonder about Estelle’s past experiences with men. How bad was the dear departed husband, if she’s willing to martyr herself over an obnoxious toad like Wilbur? Personally, I would have left him to fend for himself at My Thai. The management could have called the cops to scrape him up so he could sleep it off in the drunk tank instead of in (comparative) comfort on his own couch.
You kind of expect Sunday strips to be a rehash, but it's odd to be treading water like this on Tuesday with the exact same rendering of Wilbur, except with Estelles's hand pulling his blanky up today. It's as if June was disappointed with Moy's lingering on ground she already covered and said fine, whatever, I'll just repurpose yesterday's art. In any case, I'm disappointed, especially after last week's kick-butt pacing. Meanwhile, off camera, Zak can't get over the fact that Iris once dated this toad and consequently dumps her.
The big question is when Wilbur wakes up, what will he regret more? How he treated Estelle or how he looked in front of Iris? I'm betting on the latter. Can't wait for Mary's muffins and platitudes on this one.
How did Estelle get Wilbur out of her Volvo and into his apartment? Did Mr. Allora use his hand truck?
BTW, I’ve been out of the loop the past few days as Mr. KitKat, our two cats, and I downsized and moved. (Fellow northeast Ohioans, we crossed the great divide, moving from an eastern suburb to a western suburb, just as the anniversary of the dismantling of the Berlin Wall was happening, ha ha.) The last time we moved was over 31 years ago - egad.
@KitKat: Best of luck to you and Mr. KitKat on your new home. I'll be having the downsizing dilemma sooner than later and I'm dreading it because I have a husband that yells "we need to downsize" and when I try to, he says "Let's keep this!"
My question to Wilbur being drunk and passed out on the couch is "Where's Dawn and why hasn't she come out to investigate. @KitKat, I too am curious how she got Wilbur in his apartment. I'm thinking a wheelbarrow.
Seeing Wilbur passed out in a drunken stupor for some reason makes me hate him even more. I thought his grandiose plan was to show Iris that he had upgraded and he wasn't missing her. (Wanders, "Missing You" mght be a good tune for the Charterstone Jukebox.) Instead, he gets pie eyed and shows what a loathsome human being he is.
And as for you, Estelle, give up your woman card STAT. You are either a masochist or just plain stupid. I would call Wilbur in the morning just to break up with him. But then maybe poor dead Jimmy was probably a conceited, disgusting drunk like Wilbur, so you're use to it. Honey, give up Silverdaters and get another cat. Then, maybe not because your life skills leave much to be desired.
If this was me, I'd get a mop bucket, put some warm water in it and then stick Wilbur's hand in it.
Wouldn't it be great if this episode ended with Mary's muffin advice being used to bolster Estelle's self esteem instead of rescuing Wilbore? I know....I know....but we can dream, can't we.
I really, really, really, really hope Esther dumps Wilbur tomorrow. I kind of don't think she will, but I can hope.
Wanders, I love today's secret message! Along those lines, I wonder if the evening at My Thai ended up in the parking lot with Wilbur saying to Zak: "MY name is Wilbur. You stole my girlfriend. Prepare to bleaaarrghh."
Meg, Chin Napkin and I thank you for your support in yesterday's post. Since Uncle Joe was so unceremoniously replaced, times have been tough for Chin Napkin as his role has been virtually eliminated. Unfortunately this has has taken quite a toll on our favorite serviette and I fear for his health.

Secret Message of the Year!
If Wilbur is choking on vomit, will Mary's tummy brain bother to wake her up?

The new Thai place, may get a bad Yelp review by Wilbur, after this.
If I were putting someone to bed in that state, I'd take their glasses off and put them where they could find them quickly.
Time for Estelle to meet Doctor Jeff!
Please! Please! Please!
Can't help noticing that stubble on Zak looks sexy but the same on Wilbur just looks unkempt. Another Goofus vs. Gallant analogy?

RogerBW - I agree that Estelle should remove Wilbur's glasses. And then grind them into the carpet with her stiletto heels!

Mary told Estelle that Wilbur is an earnest guy with endearing quirks. HA HA HA HA HA!!! Actually he's earnest about drinking purple courage/scotch.
I really, really, really, really hope Esther dumps Wilbur tomorrow. I kind of don't think she will, but I can hope.

Estelle's vengeance will be visited upon Wilbur the moment he comes to and is forced to blurrily confront that disorienting fabric patter on the sofa.
