Time for a double date at My Thai! Nan will get drunk and confess she’s loved Zak since he was in third grade; Zak will get drunk and confess Iris is merely his beard; Wilbur will get drunk and perform Mary Worth got Run Over by a Reindeer; Iris will get a clue and an Uber.
Ah, the truth emerges. Mary maintains her so-called friendship with Wilbur just so she can cite his endless mistakes. It’s her go-to response: “Oh [fill in the blank], don’t make the same mistakes Wilbur did.” So much for Wilbur’s “endearing quirks.” It makes no difference that Wilbur’s bad behaviors have nothing to do with others’ situations, or that Wilbur was drunk for many of them. (Does Mary know about Fabiana and Pedro?)
Mary’s won the Charterstone Ugliest Christmas Tree contest so many times, the condo board has retired the trophy.
Mary's comment has just about nothing to do with Iris's last statement, because nothing Iris has said, done, or felt is comparable to Wilbur's antics. But let's unpack it: Wilbur's self-sabotage didn't lead to embarrassing incidents; the embarrassing incidents were what constituted the self-sabotage. Come on, Mary, at least try to have your non sequiturs make sense on their own.
Perfectly stated, Yahoonski. I spent most of the morning trying to figure out how Mary's analogy worked and couldn't do it. I think Iris really needed a "WTH are you talking about old woman?" thought balloon.

Don't make the same mistakes Wilbur did. Are you going to finish that mayonnaisewich?
Like Moy, I got nothing today. But I just want to let Ian Cameron, PhD, know that I loved his comment yesterday.
Dr. C., you consistently crack me up!

I like Mary's bush.
Ouch. Comparing someone to Wilbur is the worst thing you can do in this strip.
Iris wasn't even the one acting like a freak at dinner. Zak was the one doing weird age-play things with his "former" babysitter.
Iris needs to move to a new city and start over with completely new friends.
I want to know how Mary got those marbles to stick to her tree.
