“I ultimately FORGAVE Wilbur after the cruise ship fiasco, even though we were ALL devastated by his near-death. Of course, I realize that VERY FEW people can achieve my exalted capabilities and aspire to my ability to forgive. It appears that I was MORE devastated than YOU, Stell. And by the way, I’m sick of calling you by that silly nickname.”
Oh, Mary, please don’t be confused by my so-called nickname! Don’t you know that June Brigham, who does the lettering for this strip, is PAID by the letter? That`s why there are so many three-letter names here- Ted, Ned, Ed, Ted again, Ken, Zak, Cal…When Karen Moy realized that Estelle had so many letters… and the shortening program continues. As I told Wil the other day, pretty soon Pierre and Libby will be known as P-Lib. Ian should be fine, but Toby is going down to just To. And Saul will be Sol…
NEVER MIND THEM! WHAT ABOUT ME, THE TITULAR CHARACTER HERE??
Oh, Mar, you poor sweet fool…This strip, beginning on Su Bo Sun, will be known as MW and Frenz. Sorry to break it to you.
(And the strangled sounds of apoplexy (apo) echo through MW’s apt.)

It's about waking up and seeing Wilbur asleep, and knowing that's the best the day is going to be.
Lucky Pierre, "You gonna eat that muffin, or keep talking to it?"

Haltingly, or maybe not so haltingly, Estelle has taken a step toward telling Mary to buzz off.
When did mary get up and get the pillows at the second round of muffins ?
The paper is still on the muffins, get it together, Mary.
I've got nothing today. Too busy basking in HelenClark's compliment from yesterday.
"Mary, the key here is to forgive AND FORGET! So will you please stop mentioning that repulsive tub of goo? You're putting me off my kale muffin."
