Some of Wilbur's greatest hits from the last couple of years, I may be omitting details because this is all from recollection: He has a nice age appropriate girlfriend who he dumps when a spicy Latina dancer cons him into thinking he would actually want to touch his nebbish rear end He develops depression and to cope he begins loudly singing in the shower and drinking. He has a breakdown when his little shower radio breaks When he sees his ex girlfriend moving on he begins dating Estelle just to make her jealous. He gets drunk and makes a fool of himself on a double date with what's her face and her new beau and Estelle in such a way that the only reason Estelle would stay with him is because she is a deeply dumb, deeply broken person I'm sure I'm missing many wonderful details but I feel like these are the highlights

This whole arc started with him screaming at a cat and locking her in a room for daring to meow while he was singing instead of sitting in enraptured silence

Calaveron posted:Some of Wilbur's greatest hits from the last couple of years, I may be omitting details because this is all from recollection: Estelle started dating Wilbur because she tried online dating and ended up getting scammed by a guy who looked like Danny Devito so Mary suggested she date Wilbur instead. Also, I hope Wilbur stays dead.

If Wilbur has to come back, I'm hoping first a big funeral with the works, then desert island arc where a Wilbur with hobo beard and maybe memory loss survives for months (without losing weight, somehow) before a glorious return to Worthopolis.

If I remember the story right, they found the will and everything was left to a third, previously unknown sibling, so they faked fighting and burnt the house down so they could destroy it and split what was left instead of not getting anything at all.

He will come back convinced that he is Tom Hanks' character in Castaway. Or maybe that he is Tom Hanks himself. Winstons 1 through 8 will have been violently deflated for not being affectionate enough.

In today's Blueberry: Kivas are an incredibly old Native American construction, as in pre-European-contact old. What their original purpose is... well, it's hard to say - but it does seem to be true that they were considered holy sites from the people who re-discovered them later, or Luckner has the ghost cornered..., or... DOES HE?!

JethroMcB posted:It's been sitting in front of us this whole time, brilliant. That's exactly why this story, if played honestly, would give a lot of opportunity for good drama. All the major characters involved have significant conflicts to deal with from Wilbur's death. Estelle and Iris, though both fully justified in their rejections of Wilbur, are still going to have survivor's grief and the question of whether they could have done things differently. And I think Moy has been hinting for some time that Mary's meddling is not as awesome as Mary thinks it is and this would be a good opportunity for Mary to confront her overconfidence. There could be an additional layer of drama from the fact that Wilbur's situation would probably not be absolutely clear to the other characters so they'd have uncertainty to deal with as well. Plus the underlying situation - an unnecessary death of somebody with character flaws but not deserving of capital punishment - is a real and meaningful issue most of us have to deal with at some point in our lives. There's a lot of opportunity for good stories here. On the flip side, if this is a dream sequence or Wilbur gets some miraculous rescue, Mary Worth becomes a joke strip (much as the "it was all a dream" destroyed Dallas) and I think Moy knows that too.
