Wilbur is confused because he thought she said she loves catfishers. Which she did.

This story is starting to remind me of something...

Mary Worth 3122

Wow, what happened? Estelle went from a complete idiot in love to the most self-confident, mature person I've ever met. Except for my wife. I can't tell you how many times she's said to me, "I can't send you any more money. Call me after you've calmed down."

Mary Worth 3121

That's some pretty colorful profanity, Arthur Z.

Mary Worth 3120

I feel like that dog is up to something. Maybe pulling some sort of con on Libby the One-Eyed Cat because, you know, she only has one eye.

Mary Worth 3119

And now the sad truth is finally revealed: Arthur Z is a Dog Person! I'm not so sure their love can endure that!

Mary Worth 3118

That's twice you've told Estelle that she's selfish. Maybe you ought to say it once more because, you know, three times a charm.

Mary Worth 3117

Don't sound so desperate, Arthur Z. It's not very attractive.

Mary Worth 3112

I admire Arthur Z's commitment to the long con. It's always a risk to hit your mark twice. She might start to think something's up. Or worse, Toby might start to think. Period.

Mary Worth 3111

I admire Arthur Z for playing this through the endgame. Unfortunately for him, Detective Toby Cameron, P.I., is on the case now, and this gives her one more opportunity to do Research.

For a moment, I worried that Arthur would have another woman in his hotel room. That would have really devastated Estelle.

Also, he can't access more photos of himself, Skype, or Facetime because of overseas bureaucracy and gullibility.

Mary Worth 3094

"Ten thousand dollars? You don't have ten thousand dollars? I'm sorry Arthur Z., but you aren't the man I thought you were. Maybe you should try Aluminum-Daters instead of Silver-Daters."

Mary Worth 3093

A better question might be, "I hope you are insured!"

Mary Worth 3091

Isn't it sweet that Arthur Z (if that is your real name!) holds his cell phone just like Estelle? It's both dainty AND dangerous! They're a perfect match.

I think we're getting set up for another Terry Bryson to the Rescue story.

Mary Worth 3087

Question 1: What is your date of birth?

Question 2: In what city were you born?

Question 3: What is your Social Security Number?

Question 4: What is your favorite credit card, its number, and the last three digits on the back?

Question 5: What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?

Thank you for filling out this questionnaire. I love you.

Mary Worth 3085

"And spend the rest of my life cracking my knuckles, picking my nose, and passing gas. That's love."

Mary Worth 3084

At first I didn't recognize this as e e cummings because of the All-Caps convention of the comic strip. So my question is, does Arthur Z want us to believe he wrote this himself? Or does Karen Moy?

Mary Worth 3083

It's been a long, tantalizing weekend of getting to know each other. It appears Estelle has learned from her mistakes. If only she'd spent this much time getting to know this guy:

But I am a little confused by this exchange yesterday:

He moved to Santa Royale three months ago, but hasn't returned to the United States? How does that work? I smell a catfish. I don't think Estelle and I can handle another disappointment!!

Also, Captain Marvel was amazing. My daughter introduced me to the comic book a couple of years ago. The movie was nearly perfect!
