Meet our latest Curmudgeon Mug, Wilbur. Wilbur has spent most of his 51 years squinting at the world through a lens of suspicion, his thick eyebrows perpetually locked in a lopsided duel—one arched high with permanent doubt, the other almost stubbornly straight, as if too tired to care. A retired railway inspector from a tiny rustbelt town, Wilbur developed his skepticism from decades of catching what others missed—cracked rails, forged manifests, and lies hidden behind too-easy smiles and decaf in the coffee pot first thing on a Monday morning. His mustache, bushy and immovable like a walrus in winter, only adds to his gruff demeanor. He trusts little, talks less, and never buys into anything that promises to be "better with soy milk." People say he can smell a con from three counties over, but Wilbur prefers the smell of his pre-ground Folgers scooped out of the rusty Yuban tin he inherited from his father.
Wilbur holds around 20 ounces, stand about 5 to 5½ inches tall, and is microwave and dishwasher safe. However, he prefers a warm bubble bath and hand washing in the sink, which will keep him looking his best for the long haul.
