Snark It Up, FuzzBall!

Just as we thought Wilbutt and Estelle’s Date from Hell (TM) couldn’t get any better, the real-life team of Mary Worth, Moy and Brigman, bring us the GREAT…possibly even better than Wilbutt being unable to feed himself!

Of, course, yours truly has to doodle around with near perfection, or at least get Libby into the mix:

And Lily Walsh , a member of Facebook’s Readers of the Comics Curmudgeon, really takes the mashup cake (not that nasty pink one that Mary entered in a baking contest a few years ago):

Really.

No, really.

But good for you, Moy and Giella! A great set-up, and a greater delivery!

Nah. I think whatever Estelle may be dreaming of isn’t that bad (although there were several suggestions of “Mystery Date” and “Misery Date”). Also I should’ve used Fritzie Ritz as a leg model.

Maybe Estelle is scripted to play a lonely old cat lady (aren’t all of the characters in Mary Worth caricatures?), but I like the evening is winding down….

And if people who wrote the funnies were truly diabolical and talented, maybe Estelle wouldn’t have left Wilbutt not quite so peacefully sodden:

…that Estella has the resolve to dump the chump. She might be a throw-away character who gets saddled with losers (Wilbutt isn’t the first), but I think she’s a good soul, and even good souls should have their limits.

And since Wilbutt sleeps like the veritable dead, Estelle has a whole lot of free time for herself:

…it really isn’t a nice dinner out! It doesn’t matter who pays for it.

And a single panel pretty much sums up the entire evening, possibly the entire weeks of Estelle’s sad relationship with Wilbutt:

It continues…

It always nice to have a little interlude (read, I like to screw things up!):

And then, back to the action!

(Editor’s note: (we got an editor?!??) the panel with Wilbutt wallowing in his own dinner, or possibly filth, was a Major Hit with the Reders of the CC!)

A number of readers are finding fault with Estelle, who lost $10K to an internet scam artist and will likely fall for Wilbur as well. I hardly know Estelle, but someone who adopts a one-eyed stray kitty is okay in my book. I’d rather see drunk, loud-mouthed, self-pitying Wilbur Weston as an endangered species.

Sooooo….while waiting for something to happen (Wilbutt still has to be drunk, right), I spent a little time doodling and borrowing some props from a Blondie strip:

AND THEN…it happened!!!! Sweet, glorious fed uppityness! I hate to think Estelle will regret her actions, but for now, I will just revel in them!

…by the disgustingly polluted sea. (But, oh! Those abs!)

…yeah, as if Mary doesn’t know what’s going on in Charterstone…Santa Royale…the United States….Earth….

And it’s not like Wilbur gives a damn….purple drank….
