There's really only two ways this can end, Wilbur. You either successfully extract yourself from the Worthiverse and Iris never sees you again, or the Syndicate discovers your plot and you end up in the "Dip."

Look at that bracelet. Could Iris actually be Wonder Woman in disguise?
ReplyDeleteHera, give me strength! You may just be right, fauxprof! Hope this crossover is not as cheesy as the Phantom episode, which I vow never to recall again.
ReplyDeleteWow - "The Dip" - How on earth do you find (remember?) these things, Wanders? Amazing. Anyway, I checked out the link to "The Dip" and it looks to me like it would be something Tommy might consider cooking and selling.
ReplyDeleteIs that what happened to Nola, dear old Shelly, Elinor Kinney, and the others? Shudder... Please tell me it's Mary who administers the Dip.
ReplyDeleteGive me a break! Dad, you're getting exactly what you want! Give it a rest! You obviously want to break up with Iris. Why are you pretending that you want to be together? Who leaves his girlfriend for *A YEAR!!!* and then still wants to be together? Obviously, Wilbur ... er, Dad ... you only want to have a girlfriend on paper, not in real life. ... Hey, that's kind of like Dr. Cory and Mrs. Worth, isn't it? ... Plus, you haven't even said "hello, I'm back" to Dawn, and you're already on your way out the door ... and the front gate of the gated community that is Charterstone. ... See ya!
ReplyDeleteHey, Worthy fans, I noticed that the other soap opera strips (Rex Morgan, Judge Parker) advanced the plot in meaningful ways today or (Mark Trail) offered us something completely different. Mary Worth just served us up the same stale tripe we had to deal with all week! Waiter! I'd like to order a big plate of DAWN with a side dish of TOMMY!
All I could think of when I saw this panel was the line from Animal House "Do you mind if we dance with your dates?" and the guy's REALLY HUGE hand takes the girl's tiny one. That's one huge paw Wilbur has. No one can ever accuse Wilbur of being a "short fingered vulgarian" (like President-elect Trump). (Maybe a "vulgarian, but never "short fingered".
ReplyDeleteMONDAY
ReplyDeleteAnd now for two weeks of Wilbur explaining to Dawn. Perhaps she'll take him up on an offer to go along. We all know what a charming traveling companion she can be. Guys, don't forget to clean out the refrigerator and turn off the water. (There's no bolding in the speech balloons today. Roy taking the day off?)
Hmmm... Maybe I missed something, but I thought Iris always WAS Wilbur's ex-girlfriend. Does this breakup mean they are broken up to the 2nd power?... Maybe it just takes more to break up comic book characters than it does in the real world. Plus, I love how once you break up with someone in the Worthiverse, you have to loosen your necktie..
ReplyDeleteNothing in bold type. Does that mean Wilbur and Dawn are having a "serious" talk?
ReplyDeleteRoy used all the ink on those objects in Dawn's cookie. What appeared to be chocolate chips are much odder when you zoom in on them. One looks like an apostrophe. Whatever they are, they're making Dawn's nose disappear (just like Iris's did).
ReplyDeleteI believe I remember that Iris did break up with Wilbur. But then they got back together. I guess they have an on-and-off relationship, in which case, Wilbur leaving for a year fits right in.
ReplyDeleteI've dutifully marked my calendar for November 13, 2017. See you all then.
ReplyDeleteOMG! I can't BELIEVE it! There isn't any BOLDFACE type in TODAY'S strip! I LIKE disheveled Wilbur! There's an EDGE to him. I don't want to zoom in on the chocolate chips in Dawn's cookie, though. I'm afraid I might find something with six legs! (It's not Mary Worth's kitchen, you know!)
