Rather than taking the Lord's name in vain, Wilbur Wilson Weston, you might try thanking Him that you are freaking alive and still wearing your glasses... And you're more concerned about
companionship than
food? O, how far your character has fallen since the pleasant days when you were lovably obsessed with mayonnaise.

Wilbur seems remarkably too coherent for someone who just went through what he supposedly went through. Maybe he’s hallucinating somewhere in the ocean before breathing his last.
That shadow looks odd. If the light is shining onto Wilbur’s right side, his full shadow wouldn’t be cast to his left. This shadow looks more like some kind of demon.
I agree with KitKat that I don’t quite like the look of that shadow. Cheer up Wilbur, it looks like you will have a new friend to talk to after all. You can’t get rid of the Babadook!

We know what movie KM saw recently.
It was a three day cruise. How many islands off California would be deserted? I'm with Wanders and @HelenClark. The boardwalk is just behind Wilbur and here come the cat and dog.
Well, Wilbur, you could make yourself a sand castle and talk to it. You could tell it that this is your castle and you're king of the world. Maybe it'll work out this time.

P.S. I hate myself for not swearing off this comic forever after we've been had like this.
Scottie McW., don’t bail off MW - we need you and your spot-on and funny comments!
Like all of Wilbur's past adventures, this miraculous escape from death is obviously just making him a better person. In fact, he just keeps getting better and better. It's amazing he hasn't just straight up ascended into heaven by now.
I share your self-hatred, Scottie. I think Moy has now moved past Batiuk, Marciuliano, Jules Rivera and Bianca Xunise to cement her position as worst of the worst.
Too bad KM hasn't been watching re-runs of "Gilligan's Island". Wilbur would fit into that reference more neatly. I keep trying to imagine him as Tom Hanks, but I get stuck between the Skipper and Gilligan. And how does he know it's a "desert island"? I doubt he's taken a walk anywhere.
WILBUR IS DEAD THIS IS PURGATORY NOTHING THAT HAPPENS TO HIM FROM NOW ON IS REAL
ONE DAY HE WILL EXPIATE HIS SINS AND ENTER HEAVEN
YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST
If KM has Estelle regretting not accepting Wilbur's proposal, rather than counting her lucky stars, I will swear off this comic. Actually, that Wilbur survived is reason enough.
I want to see Iris and Zak cruise by on a sweet yacht, while they point and laugh at him.
Maybe he did die but he was rejected by the underworld. Even the devil must have some standards.
Wilbur, did you lose your wallet? You will need money for the hot dog stand on Catalina.
@KitKat, that is very kind of you to say! And I most certainly enjoy your daily commentary as well.
Alas, I probably can't quit MW. To use a Wilbur metaphor, it's like mayonnaise for the mind: bland.

I'm sure Wilbur has a few sandwiches and mayo packets stuffed in his pockets that will hold him over for a few days.
How many times is Wilbur "almost" going to die? QUIT TEASING US!
We all know this is going to end with an "insufferable Wilbur"/"early onset dementia Estelle" wedding in the Charterstone courtyard. Hopefully they will both live happily ever after and they won't appear in this comic strip EVER AGAIN!
Well, the Channel Islands are off the coast of California, but with the exception of Catalina, they require reservations and are closely monitored for invasive wildlife. Unfortunately, that means that Wilbur will be rescued quickly. His giant physique has most certainly already been recorded on dozens of screens up and down the state.
Really, the strip has got me quite depressed. I was really looking forward to Wilbur's funeral (without a body, of course). Just like in Cast Away they will put in his favorite music in the casket - karaoke something).
Totally lacking appreciation for his life might be the most loathsome thing Wilbur has done, at least in my opinion.
Wow, Tim, you are so right.
Our only hope now is that Estelle will tell him that, while she's glad he survived and everything (sort of), she does not want to see him again and that she is having his fish confiscated by the animal care and control division of the City of Santa Royale. EOS.
remember in the twilight zone when burgess meritdith glasses fell two feet and he could never read again well wilbur fell 100 feet and floated for miles and still has his glasses moy must love modern technology
He’s only been in the water for a few minutes, fergawdssake. How’d he get his clothes all ripped up and lose his shoes—but still has his glasses?
Anonymous at 7:34 pm... I do remember that episode of Twilight Zone. One of my favorites! We will have to find out where Wilbur get's his glasses. Not even a scratched lens!
In keeping with the weirdness of this plot line, I can’t wait until the 100,000 ton cruise ship literally pulls up onto the beach, lowers a gangplank and a wildly disheveled Wilbur struts right back onboard. ‘Stell will be standing at the tip of the bow in joyous ecstasy singing “There’s got to be a Morning After“ while the ship’s loudspeaker hails, Cancel Code Oscar!, Cancel Code Oscar!
