This Wilber cat war (Wiletnam? Libbystan? Wee War I?) is turning out to be a better storyline than the stick coffee skankweight championship of the Dreworld.
Is there any doubt Estelle & Libby are in on this together? They'll get rid of him one way or another. And the only singing he'll be doing is in the shower.
Incidentally does anyone else find it kind of weird that Wilbur has a "favorite spot" on Estelle's couch. Like does he have a "Homer Simpson" like "groove" in it already or something.
Uh oh... What's next? A few hairballs hucked up in Wilbur's shoes? A dead mouse that she slipped into the bag of leftovers he intends to take home? Or maybe she's shredded his precious VHS boxing tapes that he left at Estelle's apartment.
Wilbur is threatening to wring her neck? That's it. Three strikes, you're out, and you're getting tossed from the game for good measure. Team Libby all the way!
What is the point of Wilbur? Seriously, what is the POINT? He's a boorish selfish clueless whining man-child who sticks his tongue out unironically at cats. Unless Moy & Brigman enjoy periodically uniting their audience in a Two Minutes Hate, why do they keep hauling this lump back to torture us?
The answer to many of the questions asked above is: Wilbur is a wealthy man, and people will put up with behavior from a wealthy person that they wouldn’t from a poor one. Spouses/partners will not leave them, jobs for which they are unqualified will be offered to them, and some disaster survivors will eagerly share their tales of woe with a wealthy person (maybe he’ll tip them!).
A cat, however, doesn’t give a flipping freak for all the cash in the world. Food and respect is what a cat is looking for!
Gee, Wilbur, I think there may be a few things going on in the world right now that might prove worthy of inclusion in your survivor column. Where, you ask? Oh, I don't know. Maybe Antarctica? Again...
My dog Paisley has left some minor scratches on furniture. But she's just a dog acting like a dog. I'm responsible for the scratches on the furniture. Libby is just a cat doing cat things. Why does KM make Wilbur such a repulsive idiot.
Picking up where @Tum left off, why has KM made Estelle so desperate for male attention that she stays with a boorish, narcissistic jerk who is now threatening to kill her cat? Wilbur was no prize when he was merely a selfish idiot, but he’s revealed himself to be the real menace in this strip.
Saturday: Wow, Wilbur looks deranged in the second panel. And he pulling the "she started it!!" claim that little kids do when they squabble. However, little kids can be expected to act immature sometimes, but he's an adult, and he's in a squabble with a cat. Plus, it was Estelle's couch that was urinated on. It got on his pants, but it's easier to clean pants than a couch.
Even if he's rich, I can't see what Estelle would see in him. She doesn't seem to benefit from his money. Maybe she needs to be more direct like Fabiana and start demanding expensive things? Or maybe she's waiting for him to kick it.
My own cats scratched the #@$! out one side of my downstairs couch. I didn't go into a rage over it because they are cats. They don't understand that couches cost money, and that humans don't like scratched up couches.
Libby will win this one. It is a battle of wits, and she obviously has the advantage. Wilbur makes it clear he has no sense. One does not argue with a cat.
Now I'm wondering: Does the author realize that having Wilbur threaten to kill his girlfriend's cat makes him look like an abusive psycho? That's not a normal reaction to a pet sitting on a chair or peeing on something.

You like apples, Wilbur? Well, how ya like them apples?
Love the look of supreme preening satisfaction on Libby's face. Good girl!You're a good girl! Yes you are!

Tomorrow: Wilbur wears Estelle’s frou-frou robe while Estelle washes his clothes. Ha ha ha ha!
If I were Estelle, I’d be more concerned with a urine-soaked couch than Wilbur’s wet pants.
It was no accident, Estelle.
Calling Jackson Galaxy! Calling Jackson Galaxy! This is definitely a My Cat from Hell episode!
Ok Libby is a better judge of men than Estelle. Libby needs to have a talk with Drew about good life choices,never mind Mary Worth.

Wilbur really needs to read "The Black Cat". Then again, maybe he shouldn't, let each step of revenge be a surprise.
"It's wet! And it's not me this time!"
Incidentally does anyone else find it kind of weird that Wilbur has a "favorite spot" on Estelle's couch. Like does he have a "Homer Simpson" like "groove" in it already or something.
There's an old horror film called The Uncanny. Cats get revenge in gruesome ways. Pure fun. Libby watched it last week while locked in the bedroom.
"Augghh! It's wet! Oh, I forgot I sat here an hour ago. And that I'm incontinent."
Uh oh... What's next? A few hairballs hucked up in Wilbur's shoes? A dead mouse that she slipped into the bag of leftovers he intends to take home? Or maybe she's shredded his precious VHS boxing tapes that he left at Estelle's apartment.

Will Wilbur get to Mary first? Or will Estelle? Can’t wait to hear each version.
ENJOY THE TASTE OF FELINE REVENGE HOOMAN!!

@Sandi Ego said it all. This isn’t funny anymore, KM, especially if Estelle doesn’t do more than tell Wilbur to watch his mouth.

Watch your mouth? That seems rather an odd thing to say. Wilbur didn't swear at Libby, Estelle, he threatened to KILL her!
"Hiss" interpreted: "Talk to the claws, Mayo Mouth; talk to the claws."

Libby thought balloon: "Go ahead. Make my day."
-- Scottie McW.
What on Earth does she see in him?
She needs to hold Libby a bit closer to his face so she can get a good swipe in before she kicks him out.
"Wilbur, I warned you not to get in a pissing contest with my cat."
How did he ever get the Wendy job, and what disaster survivor would want to tell their story to him?

Amen, meg, Amen.

Argh, @Tim. Sorry, Tim!

Apparently Doris Day never met a rat.

I think Libby's trying to decide how Wilbur would look wearing an eye patch.
