WILBUR: ORIGINS
OK, fine, it looks like this is "one of those weeks" on this blog -- you know, the kind of week where I just kind of end up talking about Mary Worth every day -- so to mix things up a bit (and set the stage for today's strip) I want to take you on a Mary Worth history deep dive, thanks to some strips posted to Twitter by the invaluable Pangent Technologies last August when I was on vacation and didn't have a chance to post them here. They're from 1993 and they cover Wilbur's arrival in the strip! Are you intrigued? Well you should be! Because before Wilbur got to Charterstone, when all anybody knew about him was that he had eliminated one of the two kitchens in his apartment (????), Toby thought that maybe ... he was hot?
Mary Worth, 4/1/93

Whoops, sorry, Toby! Turns out he's Wilbur.
