   Such sheer gall is more like it. But I had fun.

   You’d think there’d be nothing to see here in regard to the original art. But you’d be wrong.
   
   I’ve included an extra panel from the original comic so that you can see how these roses were used as the lead-in for a crucial scene in the story.
   
   Here’s the link.

   better to fart
   and bear the smell
   than hold that gas
   and hurt like hell

   Fun to write. I’m willing to enact, though…for the right price.

    No, that’s ok – I’m sure you can pull your own finger.

    Way different.; like accordion music with a rock band, it’s good for one or two songs. I hope tomorrow we’ll be back to seeing the hot chicks.

    This reminds me of an old Mad magazine VALENTINE’S card.
    Roses are read
    Violets are black.
    You’d look better
    With a knife in your back.

    @J. Short
    That’s all the verse I’ve got in me right now. But I do enjoy coming up with a bit of rhyme—-sometimes deliberately hokey verse—-from time to time. I’ve even snuck a bit of rhyme into my comics for Disney every few years.
