A long weekend

Hello, readers.

I am going away to spend a few days visiting my old friend the man from the Wick (who said "tick a tick, tick a tick"). That means that the next post or two will come late, but be assured that normal service will be resumed soon.

Comic 864 - Flying Cars

OK, we're not living on Mars
And we don't zip round in flying cars
But at least now we know
Calls without video
Mean that girls are just wearing their bras.

Original comic here.

Comic 863 - Major in the Universe

To see how the cosmos conspires
And interacts - this he desires
As his major; I think
He just wants to drink
And sit round reading Blink and Outliers.

Comic 862 - Let Go

These websites I used to endorse
Have got worse than charlie or horse.
That's enough. I've a view ta
Turn off my computer
And simply rely on the Force.

Classic Comic 807 - Connected

The least common ground seems gigantic
When lovers are young, free and frantic
But I'm old and jaded,
The lustre has faded
And none of it seems that romantic.

A rather despondent limerick for a rather desolate comic, mercifully withheld until a little while after St Valentine's Day.

Comic 861 - Wisdom Teeth

A bored convalescent from Baden
Rang his gamer friend up and sought pardon
But, feeling quite woozy
(The anaesthetic's a doozy)
He played Minecraft like a Zen garden.

Original comic here.

Comic 860 - Never Do This

A fun, pocket-sized microscope
Makes pencils and quarters look dope
But look under your nails
And the fun quickly fails -
You'll want to abandon all hope.
