Comic 1128 - 50 Shades

Whether living in mansion or hovel
You're probably reading this novel
About a hot chick
Who clicks with a dick
Cause she digs the way he makes her grovel.

Original comic here.

Synecdoche!

Comic 1097 - A Hypochondriac's Nightmare

While being sucked into the jet
Yvette became struck with regret.
All that stress and alarm
For a rash on her arm
Which was hardly a comparable threat.

Original comic here.

Comic 1086 - Eyelash Wish Log

One starts dabbling with recursive wishes
And the meta-ness seems quite delicious
But that old jobsworth djinn
Just will not let you win
And you'll wish you'd not been so ambitious.

That's for the main theme of the comic, but the line about banishing TV show bores into their own obsessions ought not to be overlooked:

The next time an eyelash slides out
I shall wish for the magical clout
To banish those bros
Who go on about shows
To the shows that they go on about.

Original comic here.

Comic 1058 - Old-Timers

I was looking for b00bs on YouTube
When I got called a n00b by some rube.
Well, those parents of mine
Conceived me online
So my view is that Y0U are the n00b.

Original comic here.

Still catching up, still somehow four behind. If only we were on that eccentric time system that is coming up in three comics' time, perhaps I would fare better.

Comic 1050 - Forgot Algebra

Play the sax, make flapjacks, or speak Spanish:
All these talents can happily vanish.
So why make maths the most-
Chosen talent to boast
That, post-school, you've decided to banish?

Original comic here.

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 1027 - Pickup Artist



This kid's trick to pick a fit chick up
Hit into something of a hiccup.
The girl he was negging
Negged back, over-egging
It so much she shrivelled his dick up.


Original comic here.

Based on the one magazine article I read about these "pickup artists" a few years ago, I shan't be adding the "romance" tag to this post.

Comic 1018 - Good Cop, Dadaist Cop



The standard's one calm cop, one harder;
I'd rather switch harder for dada.
The punk fugs, befuddled
As fuzz-buzz turns muddled
And answers, alarmed, sans palaver.


Original comic here.

Comic 996 - Making Things Difficult



Take my top off? Do you mind?
Good doctor, I'm hardly that kind.
A real lady needs
To receive some cheap beads
Before showing her breasts or behind.


Original comic here.

Still catching up after Christmas. Two more to go. If only I had my own team of elves.

Comic 964 - Dorm Poster



Dark Side of the Moon is the norm
To adorn the raw walls in your dorm.
Relate the straight version
To this great inversion
And neatly subvert that worn form.


Original comic here.

Classic comic 162 - Angular Momentum



There once was a girl from Marbella
Who spun like a Spitfire propeller.
The more the girl whirled
The slower th' world twirled
And the more secs she had with her fella.


Original comic here.

Comic 890 - Etymology



A long time ago (so they say)
In a galaxy far, far away
They somehow used words
(To bemusement of nerds)
That referred to the birds of today.


Original comic here.

Classic comic 503 - Terminology



The West's in the west, you suggest?
Your conjecture is sketchy at best.
And the East in the east?
No, not in the least -
It's east of the West, in the west.


Original comic here.

Classic comic 149 - Sandwich



To subdue any dude to your mood-oh
Less crude than to bruise him with judo
When you've planned your demand
Is to land this command:
All bow to the power of SUDO.
