Nah, top quality bullshit soap opera writing would maintain the illusion that he's dead for six months or so, then have him reappear at the most awkward time possible. But at this point I have no evidence that Moy can write any characters who aren't Wilbur, so I guess that may not be an option.

If Wilbur must survive, it should be at the end of a years-long Robinsonade from which he returns a completely different person from the pathetic worm that washed ashore. Only to return and find that Estelle has married a ripped, handsome silverfox billionaire and has forgotten even his name.

ok in my head canon now Wilbur ends up doing the Robinson Crusoe thing, except its reversed in that he gets his life saved by a black family and he's decides that he needs to play the Friday role, but it's as if Mr. Bean were trying to be the faithful servant and the entire time the black family is just "dude this is weird, you can go home this isn't a remote island it's just Florida."

Mr. Squishy posted:In a year, the strip will be called Mary Worth and Wilbur. Like Blondie, it'll be 95% about Wilbur eating sandwiches. I remember cutting my great grandma's grass growing up, and afterward I'd go sit with her. She always had me a diet sprite and we always watched Days of our Lives together, to the point that I scheduled my entire day around finishing up the grass around the time Days came on. She would sit and endlessly complain about how stupid the characters and the stories were, but she also spent the commercials filling me in on what I'd missed since the last time I was over. Anyway, when I woke up this morning I was prepared to support a thread death penalty for Mary Worth for bringing this stupid into my life, but ... upon reflection I guess being mad about it is at least half the fun.

goatface posted:I hope he gets found by a hideous old crone who locks him in her seaside hut and holds him there until he agrees to marry her so she can get a visa. After he is released from captivity and returns home, he finds a stack of suitors waiting for Estelle, so he defeats them all in competition by being the only one who can pierce an entire stack of sandwiches with one of those sandwich spike... things, I don't know what they're called but you know what I mean, the little spears that hold a sandwich together, and upon reflection, this whole Odysseus thing isn't as funny as it was in my head so I'm dropping it here and oh hey look out behind you here come some single-panel comics Bizarro  The Family Circus  In this work, the artist challenges our expectations by re-creating a classic Art Frahm scene, but he deliberately omits the defining element of Frahmianist art. It's a provocative piece, even though the entire image is thoroughly mundane, and the off-color imagery exists only in the viewer's mind. Keane is truly the Warhol of our age.  (For those who don't recognize the name, Art Frahm was a pin-up artist who, decades after his death, gained a bit of Internet fame for his slightly odd fetish. Namely, his favorite subject was a woman carrying grocery bags exactly like Daddy is here, so she don't have a free hand to pull up her underwear which has somehow fallen to her ankles. As far as I know, this link is what first brought Frahm to the Internet's attention -- it's very tame stuff by modern standards but I'm going to tag it  just to be safe: https://www.lileks.com/institute/frahm/index.html)
