Wilbur breaks his own snark record by lobbing a pejorative at Iris within 17 seconds of beginning to talk. Attaboy, Wilbur, you’re as much of a jerk as you’ve always been.
Meanwhile, Iris looks catatonic as she stares past Wilbur. It looks like she’s been sampling some of the pharmacy products behind the pharmacist’s back.
Me personally, I always go to Bright Aide Pharmacy. I thought at first they were in Falgreens.
Oh Wilbur, you charmer you. Thank you for reminding us why we hate you so much.
Is Wilbur going to say next "My love life with Estelle is so busy that I have to buy herbal supplements to keep up. You look like you could use some supplements yourself. I'd advise some Estroven. It's in the next aisle. Trying to keep up with that boy toy has you looking ragged." That's when Iris opens a can of whoopass on him. Better still, "boy toy" Zak hears it and says "You got a problem with me, baldy?" as he pulls Wilbur's combover out of his head.
C'mon, Iris. Unlike those of us in the real world, you've got until tomorrow to come up with a scathing comeback. Don't be going "George Costanza" on us; or as Hugo would say, "L'esprit de l'escalier."
Wanders, re: your secret message? Correction: YOU are more creative; KM not so much.
I think the only two appropriate responses here are a swift slap to his pudgy face or turning away without a word. Useless dweeb that Wilbur is, I don't think we've ever heard him say something so mean-spirited. And after she just paid him a compliment, too! Unless, by calling his column amazing, she meant it was amazing that it got published.
Oh geez Wilbur, and you write an advice column? Better pick up some more soap while you are in the pharmacy, I have a feeling you are going to be singing more of those lost love country songs in the shower pretty soon.
Iris's right eyebrow in panel two seems to be presaging a good ego-crushing retort for foolhardy Wilbur. But I'm sure KM won't fail to disappoint on the morrow with something lame.
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.
Palgreens? Was CSV already taken?

CSV is comma separated values - data files most everyone just saves as Excel.
ReplyDeleteMoy likes making Wilbur as horrible as possible then pretending he isn't. It's not really a fun game to watch.
Today's Boldface Haiku is titled

Hey, Wilbur! Amazing! Are?
Iris! You! Well...
Recently! You? Boy Toy?

What's with the blue void behind Iris in the second panel?
