I saved this for the weekend so I could savor it more. When I was a kid, we had 2 whole sections of funnies in the WaPo on Sunday and my dad and I would read them and then swap. One section was mostly bullshit like Mary Worth, Girls in apt 3G, Prince Valiant, etc., but they'd throw in a couple good ones. My dad's policy (which he only enforced for himself, but I chose to adopt) was that you had to read *all* the strips. Like eating your veggies before you get dessert.
I was surprised reading this that I was a little triggered when I saw the MW Sunday strip. It used to piss me off so bad when most of the Sunday strip was a recap of the previous week, with one panel of new content. I was like MOVE THIS FUCKING PLOT ALONG I HATE THIS STRIP BUT I HAVE A WEIRD OBLIGATION TO READ EVERY WORD OF IT.
I seriously doubt passengers would be allowed on the forecastle while underway. Also, the bow is visible from the bridge so someone should have seen Wilbur. Some suspect storytelling here.
The window eels stuck with Wilbur to the end. "Wilbur,' they hissed, "get down from there!" But Wilbur doesn't really like or pay attention to animals, so...
This article speaks right to my heart! I have been ranting about Wilbur for months verbally, not online-then I found this! Spot on and so funny in a scary kind of way.. I never knew there were so many kindred spirits. Please please do a follow up on this. The story, of course, drags its way along and I would love to read your take on it!

Anyway, I loled a lot reading this.

Please update the article with how you feel about that sniveling little worm still being alive.
