Mary Worth 2738

I can't tell you how relieved I am to learn this morning that Zak and Iris really are just drinking coffee. Extra-marital relations are the domain of characters like Charley Smith, Nola Wolvenson, and Entertainer Esme. It's how we know they're bad.

Sometimes a cup of coffee really is just a cup of coffee.

Just coffee, huh? I wonder if Iris is as disappointed as I am. Well, now that the excitement is over here, can we get back to Wilbur and Fabiana?

Iris should be concerned that a 20-something video game developer owns a coffee set, complete with sugar and creamer. Not to mention purple drapes....

Zak (or his decorator) has a thing for retro. We had those curtains back in the early 60s, only in orange and in the living room. (I was not making decisions back then.) To follow the theme, Iris is pretty retro, too.

So .....
We're not going to see more of Wilbur romping around with his sexy Latina beauty? Ay carumba, Senora Moy. What a disappointment

I had those very same drapes in my classroom for decades. They were heavy gauge vinyl.

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled "Coffee And Company: The New Tea And Sympathy".

Coffee?
Great...company.
More.

I was hoping she'd say, "Here's looking at you, kid."

Is that a percolator? Is that hip with the kids now?

It looks like Zak has a diner in his apartment.

After coffee (or "coffee"), I think it's high time for some matching tattoos. I mean, they've reconnected and "explored" now for what, a day and a half? I think it's going rather well!

It's not retro; it's Now-tro (to plagarize 'A Mighty Wind')..

Wanders: Neither Zak nor Iris are married, are they? So there's no extra-marital dimension here. Not even an extra-Wilburtal dimension, as he's already abandoned her, she's already broken up with him, and he's redundantly broken up with her. I think you're all being too hard on Iris. I say go for it, Iris. Just please don't make us watch any more of "The Courtship of Tommy's Step-Father."

I thought this place was brand new. What guy goes out and gets a coffee set with sugar and creamer for his new place? None that I know.

Nevermind the curtains, I think I recognize the orange formica counter tops I had installed in a house I bought in 1968.

@Carlye--He probably stole it from the lobby during Complimentary Coffee Hours. Or, perhaps, from Diner.
