This is going to go one of two ways:

1. Wilbur lives...somehow...and Estelle feels like she has to take care of him so she agrees to marry him.
2. Wilbur doesn't live, and for reasons unknown Estelle feels a sense of obligation because they were fighting before he took a drunken leap.

Look at it this way, if Estelle feels guilty, it's something Mary can meddle in.

Hey, Linda. You know that totem you keep around that represents your husband's CTE and gradual descent into early-onset dementia? The one that you project all your grief onto?
Yeah, possibly even the one he wore when he intentionally drove off the road?
Can we borrow that for a gag?

...oh, you know I'm going to stand in the background of the final panel and look smug about it, no worries there! Yeah, while she's wearing your dead husband's gear. It's a pretty good joke, I'm satisfied with this.

Uh-huh...you still think you got shortchanged by the suicide arc ending over a month before its announced length so we could do another couple months of Lisa misery strips? I...uhh, your signal's cutting out, I think I'm losing you, bye.

Standard dunking on Dustin aside, the art is pretty good today. Also that’s an unusually good joke to the point where I thought it was an edit at first.

Wilbur dies and Estelle writes a book about him and eventually testifies before Congress about cruise ship safety.

The oldest one we know if is from the 10c AD Exeter Book, an Anglo-Saxon book of poetry and riddles:


quote:

A curiosity hangs by the thigh of a man, under its master’s cloak. It is pierced through in the front; it is stiff and hard and it has a good standing-place. When the man pulls up his own robe above his knee, he means to poke with the head of his hanging thing that familiar hole of matching length which he has often filled before.

The answer is a key, you perverts.

I was thinking the same. Rusty's dog Sassy used to be, well, a dog. Not an especially attractive dog, but a dog all the same. (Anybody still have that panel of Sassy and it just says "SASSY!" at the bottom? It was beautiful.)

Famously archaeologists thought Pompeii was full of brothels and places where you could buy sex because that's what they classified every single building that had graffiti of a dick on it as.

I mean.... men worked all over as farmers and traders. Got a better place to set up shop than the local big city? Seem like cities have always focused on things men want to separate them from their money.

They mean that penis graffiti was extremely common and found on buildings that we've since found weren't brothels

I mean, it's been proven that a lot of the buildings we originally thought were brothels, actually weren't precisely because people have always loved obscene graffiti. It had a regular number of brothels, it wasn't full of whorehouses like we used to think

lol at everyone who tried to kick the football thinking "surely this time Lucy won't pull it away!"

So now we're right on track for Wilbur and Estelle to be reunited at some point in the future and for her to apologize profusely for what happened to him, because she thinks it's all her fault for rejecting him.
