The Unsinkable Wilbur Weston!<\/strong> The role that Debbie Reynolds was born to play!<\/em><\/del><\/p>\n

There are so many folks at The Comics Curmudgeon smitten with Wilbur’s delighted response to the possibly becoming a Real Riter<\/del> Writer, that I had to include them here.\u00a0 Maybe he’s saying something (hence the caption balloon), or maybe its the gestures along…if you’ve got suggestions for the Jolly Man, I’ll post them!<\/p>\n

The man of the hour:<\/p>\n

Some GREAT<\/strong> comments:<\/em><\/p>\n

“The image of Wilbur is horrifying enough. I\u2019m just grateful that we\u2019re spared the sight of his erection.” — Gladly, the cross-eyed bear<\/p>\n

“Wilbur is so excited that he is jazz handsing.” — Liam<\/p>\n

“I hope Wilbur doesn\u2019t sprain his hands with that Jolson routine. He\u2019s going to need them to wring A WEEKLY SERIES out of one incident.” — missal<\/p>\n

“I\u2019d like panel 2 better if it just had Wilbur saying \u201cSQUEEEEE!\u201d” — Esther Blodgett (done and done)<\/p>\n

“Wilbur = Paul Lynde. Saw it right away.” — Chaze<\/p>\n

“I think the dialogue\u2019s been screwed up. Clearly, panels one and two show Wilbur falling for the old \u2018pull-my-finger\u2019 gag.” — Hibbleton<\/p>\n

“Wilbur, unhinged by his experience, now believes himself to be Moses. \u201cI shouldn\u2019t be alive, but I AM saved me! I AM sent me to spread the new commandments in my low-circulation advice column!\u201d” — This Guy<\/p>\n

“\u201cYes I Can!\u201d, Starring Sammy Davis, Jr., as Wilbur!” — Nehemiah Scudder<\/cite><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And some scenes I think we’d all like to see (within reason. or maybe not.):
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

“Given Wilb\u2019s adipose avoirdupois, I suspect he\u2019s unsinkable, short of a Harpoon.” — \u00c9cureuil \u00c9cumant<\/cite><\/p>\n

“How ironic will it be when, the same day that his first \u201cI Shouldn\u2019t Be Alive\u201d article gets printed, Wilbur chokes to death on a celebratory ham sandwich?” — KreatureFeatures<\/p>\n

“Wilbur looks like he\u2019s channeling 1970s Liza Minnelli.\u00a0 \u201cIT\u2019S WILBURRRRRR \u2014 WITH A ZZZZZZ\u201d (or a beef on weck\u2026with mayo).” — UncleJeff<\/p>\n

“What the Hell is that? Mary Worth\u2019s vibrator?” — Calico<\/p>\n

“\u201cYes I Can!\u201d, Starring Sammy Davis, Jr., as Wilbur!” — Nehemiah Scudder<\/cite><\/em><\/p>\n
