One was published at the height of western genre's popularity and one was written by a man who spent his childhood & early adulthood during that era.

I don't generally order more than one or two kinds anyway as a side, so. Gotta do something with the ginger.

I haven't had a sushi roll that wasn't infinitely enhanced by topping with ginger, wasabi and a drop of soy sauce.

It's an incredible piece y'all. An excerpt to wet the whistle.

quote:

Wilbur is a comic strip character, a supporting player in the long-running soap opera strip Mary Worth, but his brush with mortality was no less perilous for being fictional. Wilbur, it must be said, is not a sympathetic figure: a bespectacled, middle-aged, pear-shaped advice columnist with a combover and a facial expression that alternates between hapless ignorance and befuddled malice, his personality resembles nothing so much as a comic strip George Costanza. His storylines, for some time prior to this episode, had revolved around his nebbishy torment of his on-again-off-again girlfriend Estelle.

Both the article's author and Moy compare Wilbur to George Costanza, but that's so far off the mark. To start with, George Costanza is funny.

Thinking that anyone irl would give a gently caress about who originated doggo drawings doesn't reach the delusional self-wankery of Cancerbean, but it's getting there.

Yeah, that's key. Wilbur also has his pimp Mary downplaying his awful nature as amusing and cute.

The article also mentions how the writer couldn't get in touch with Olivia Jaimes. One of these days we're going to find out the secrecy's because they're a major celebrity or European royalty or something, practicing their secret hobby.
