No wonder Wilbur is startled. Mary looks like a badly disguised alien creature. June is an otherwise excellent artist, but her rendition of noses straight on is disturbing.
Wilbur feels abandoned. Does he remember abandoning Iris for his world-wide survivor tour? And how did a part time columnist for a shopper pay for that? Where exactly did Wilbur get his money from?
It’s frightening how Mary can materialize out of nowhere. I’m guessing she pushed yesterday’s decrepit couple into the pond in her meddle frenzy. I doubt Mary will suggest a solution to Wilbur in only s weekend. We’re in for a week-long platitude barrage, people. Nance May be onto something with the suggestion of St. Anne’s. Mary might feel she’s done her part by selling a few bags of muffins, giving her license to push Wilbur there. If so, poor St. Anne’s!
Meanwhile, in Beautiful Italy, Harlan has been arrested for smuggling ketchup into the country, one of his students accidentally knocked over the Arrotino, and Dawn has been swept off her feet by handsome, debonair Giovanni il Truffatore. But are we seeing any of this? Noooooooo! We're watching Wilbur wallow in self-pity again. Oh what fun.
Dawn either comes home pregnant or a pizza snob, who insists only fresh mozzarella--pronounced in a snotty Italian accent--be used. She will attempt to introduce Wilbur to the Margarita pizza, but Wilbur will be too deeply into the Tequila-based Margarita to care.
Speaking abandoned, whatever happened to Wilbur's book on survivors? Did he just spending a $100k on his travels and scamming and is not generating anything in return? Wilbur gets sued by a publisher and goes bankrupt would be an interesting story line.
YAY!!! A Mary sighting at last! Welp, since Wilbur’s pathetic ploy to get away without having to “greet” Mary back has failed completely, maybe he can hit her up for some MMMMMuffins!!! I hear she’s still got a ton of stale ones in her kitchen! Yummy-yummmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@KitKat: "a week-long platitude barrage" ... I LOVE IT!!!! I am TOTALLY up for that. Mary, BRING ON the platitudes!!! ... You can start with ones you've learned from your victims ... er, your "friends" ... like, when Wilbur says he's feeling ABANDONED, tell him to "review past interactions for possible causes"!
Don't be shy! I'd love to hear what you have to say about Mary Worth. Just keep it clean, that's all I ask. This is a FAMILY FRIENDLY blog. I don't want to moderate comments, but I will if I have to.

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled
ReplyDelete"In Which Mary Recommends Some Selfless Act Of Charity At Nearby St. Anne's, As Long As It Is By Choice, To Salve Wilbur's Soul".
Wilbur! Greeted!
Oh, Mary! Lost!
Are?
Not great. Abroad, abandoned!

ReplyDeleteAargh, please forgive the typos in my first post. Typing on a phone is a challenge at times.
ReplyDeleteI love the image of Mary circling back for a second pass at Wilbur.

ReplyDeleteWho says GREETED? Even Walmart greeters don't.
ReplyDeleteHe's lost in his thoughts? Not exactly the deep woods.
ReplyDelete"Lets go for free muffins at Aileens Grocery, Wilbur."
ReplyDeleteOh dear. That is not a flattering angle for Wilbur.
ReplyDeleteDoes he really not expect Dawn to ever leave home ever? She can't be a stunted woman-child forever.
