You also need to educate yourself more about caring for houseplants.
Okay, while I was busy with the opening of our play (thanks everyone for your enthusiastic support), we learned that Terry Bryson is coming back. It isn't that I couldn't post this week, its just that Terry Bryson is coming back. I know, you all think of Terry Bryson as the on-again-off-again-on-again girlfriend (and now WIFE? Did I not get invited to the wedding??) of Adam Miller who took her for hot air balloon and roller coaster rides, but I can never forget that our first encounter with Terry Bryson inspired this post and almost ended this blog in September 2008.

Welcome back, Wanders!
If Estelle neglected Libby as much as she did that unfortunate plant, Libby would not repeatedly exclaim “MEOW,” to put it mildly. She’s be very, very quiet.
Maybe Terry Bryson is NOT married to Adam Miller - things could have cooled after the Boardwalk Episode. And, it’s possible the tech company is Zakis Enterprises....
Argh, make that “she’d,” not “she’s.”
If that’s what the houseplant looks like, I don’t even want to imagine Libby’s litter box.
What happened to all those folks who were commenting back in the day? Did Moy drive them away?
@fauxprof
That is hilarious! Maybe Libby's looking for a nail gun.
Good to have you back, Wanders. We were running out of steam.

I don't think that's supposed to be a house plant. Isn't it the bouquet of roses that Arthur sent?
That bouquet/houseplant is a metaphor for the failed hopes and dreams of Miss Haversham, er Estelle. I'm just annoyed that it took ALL week for Estelle to mourn the loss of her Beautiful Man, so long, the petals are falling on the floor in an unsightly mess. Another metaphor for the tedium that has wracked us readers during this ho-hum-get-to-the-point week.
So, in real life, Libby the cat would be eating those fallen flower petals and then hurking them up all over Estelle's floor.
Just sayin'
I love that, 10 years ago, a Wanders post about the latest Mary Worth (ahem) "story line" got a comparison in the comments to Rex Morgan. Which, if you are keeping score at home (and I am, so pity me), made/makes dirty dishwater seem sparkling. And yet, here we are, 10+ years later. Being bored to death sure takes a while.
SUNDAY
I guess the tuna didn't help.
The fact that Estelle is sad instead of angry is a good indication of her level of ditziness.
But not to worry, Terry Bryson, who's in Building B but who is not in law enforcement, is on her way. Better straighten up that apartment, Queen.

Welcome back Wanders. So glad you didn't desert us. As you can see Estelle has spent that last week kvetching to Mary. I think Libby should buy a nail gun too, only to shoot it at Estelle for being a complete dummy.
Sunday: So we get a rehash of what these two have been saying all week: Estelle can't believe what a creep Arthur/er turned out to be and Mary telling her to talk to Terry Bryson (Make sure to repeat BUILDING B because Estelle is such o noodnik.)
As Louise F. said previously, I concur the dead plant/Arthur/er's flowers are a metaphor for all of Estelle's hopes and dreams: Dead.
Who even says something like "he became abusive in his language?" The right thing to say is that "he cursed me out". Get out there KM and see how real people talk.
I also like the quote by Bob Marley on the throwaway panel. (Thanks Washington Post!) There are days I wonder if KM is smoking some of what Bob Marley use to.

I also notice that Estelle has some photos next to the flowers of broken dreams. Is the one of her "beautiful man" still there?"
Yes! This strip is more suffocating and deadening with every story arc. But I so love this little community that’s built around it. I feel for you Wanders, bearing the responsibility for breathing comedic life into this limp squid on a daily basis!

Monday
Why can’t Estelle contact Terry Bryson herself? (A rhetorical question, I realize. We all know the Meddler in Chief has to run the show.)
If Estelle can be convinced to send money to Arthur due to "overseas regulations", then maybe she just needs to stay off the internet and get out more and experience life. Oh wait, maybe KM needs to do that.
