Divine Friday

Mary Worth, 7/26/24

Oh, man, sorry I thought this was going to be something "normal" like Wilbur deciding to murder his fish for attention, when in fact he's going to dream/fantasize about merging with his dead fish as some kind of nearsighted human/fish hybrid. A dead one, too! Remember how he was speculating yesterday about fish heaven? Well, in his imagining, this is fish heaven, when a fish transcends its fishy form and becomes merged with Wilbur. Imagine the sick sort of God who would consider such a nightmare to be a reward for a life well lived: this is the deity that Wilbur worships.
