This is what we call a "floating head sandwich," which is perfect for Jerry's sandwich shop. And the job as described sounds perfect for Tommy! It has to take at least 10 hours a week. And maybe, one day, after he's done scrubbing a urinal, someone will ask him to help make your sandwich.
Suddenly Wilbur has an idea, "Hire extra help? Here's an idea. Why don't you just switch your sandwich shop from table service to counter service. You could cut half your staff and make twice as much money. Problem solved."
"Yes, Wilbur is such a wonderful customer. Each of the partially eaten hamburgers on my shirt is a tribute to him. I don't know how I can keep up with his appetite, seeing as how I am so understaffed!"
"It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like 'What about lunch?'" -- A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh
Wilbur Weston, a floating head so big he can't be contained in one thought cloud.
So, in other words, we are EXACTLY where we started. I'm so glad because this story is AWESOME! I hope Wilbur and Iris will get in some sort of disagreement over what's best for Tommy and break up for several weeks. Then Mary can help them get back together so that Iris and Wilbur can help Tommy get a job.
Come on now Iris. Be nice. Sarcasm does not suit you. Because who could ever hope for a love greater than Wilbur's obsession for you and maple frosted cupcakes?
I'm sorry, did that sound sarcastic?
I've been fascinated by that picture behind the couch. Its abstract shapes and starbursts have finally coalesced into an ocean seascape. Tomorrow a little flappy fish will climb onto the shore. I feel like I'm watching the entire creation of the world occur over eons of time. Eons.
As dear reader Birdie pointed out in yesterday's comments, Sunday's throwaway panel was a warning to us all.
Thankfully, today, Mary is ready to save us from perpetual ennui.
Who's up for a little action Mary Worth style?
Maybe he is spending all of his time reading this blog! Horrors! Or, perhaps in the true spirit of Easter, he is watching this YouTube video:
