Comic 1049 - Bookshelf

In my library, Atlas Shrugged’s placed
So the unwary reader is faced
With a room dank and dark
And a candlelit plaque
Telling him he has terrible taste.

Comic 1048 - Emotions

The things that distress you today
And stress you, though testing, still may
Be recalled with fond yearning
If some future turning
Point pops up and sweeps them away.

Original comic here.

Comic 1047 - Approximations

There is a girl named Goldilocks
Who always breaks in, never knocks
And if she's in the mood
She'll eat all your food
So long as it's just right (approx.)

Original comic here.

Not very good, and not very connected to the comic. Boo-urns!

Comic 1046 - Skynet

There once was a nightmare dystopia
Where conditions could not have been ropier.
The machines all awoke
And then endlessly spoke
To themselves, lost in meta myopia.

Original comic here.

Bit late, this one, but I'm not going to overanalyse it.

Comic 1045 - Constraints



When wandering vaguely up tracks
Take sumptuous, spicy spam snacks.
Rucksacks missing lunch
(If earlier, brunch)
Besmirch beefy backwoodsmen's backs.


Original comic here.

The reverse-alphabet challenge is a fun one, though I expect lots of people could come up with better limericks than mine.

Comic 1044 - Romney Quiz



There once was a poor boy named Charlie
Who barely had two grains of barley
But a sweet lucky dip
Won a factory trip
That was straight out of Salvador Dali.


Original comic here.

Comic 1043 - Ablogalypse



If you are a LiveJournal mumblr
Or a beetle-brained blogosphere bumblr
Please don't get all glum
Or run off to your mum
When your hoster gets humbled by Tumblr.


Original comic here.

Does this mean that Blogspot is not quite the thing these days? It suits me just as well as my penny farthing and plus fours do.
