We screwed up.  We skipped a comic.  We skipped the prologue to Act 1, no less.  As far as mission-critical comics to skip, we picked the one that concludes Act 1 and sets the table for Act 2.  That’s something that good webcomics are not supposed to do.

Fortunately for everyone involved, we never claimed to be a good webcomic.

Come Monday, we’ll remove comic 63 and put in 61, which is supposed to be next.  (#62 gets skipped because it is technically the cover for Act 2.)

I’ll make a similar post on Monday, but some things will be out of order for a week.

This is over a year old, so I’m guessing everyone has seen this.  But I just found it, and it’s the funniest(scariest) thing I’ve seen in a long time.

Hey hey,

I’m sure all y’all read Menage a 3. If you don’t, there is a char named Yuki. Whenever  she sees a naked, man she loses her mind and screams “Tentacllllles!” There’s more to it then that, so I recommend you go read their back archive and get caught up.

I was reading yesterday’s strip when I thought how funny it would be if Tress got her hands on Yuki. So here you go:

I recently received an email from an old high school acquaintance. I hadn’t seen him since graduation, and even then, we weren’t particularly close. I responded to him and we spoke a few more times via text message.

I don’t normally text message much; most of my communiqués go out via email for various delivery reasons. However, my friend Rob uses text messages almost exclusively. As we corresponded, I noticed his poetry, despite the limitations of the text message format. I’ve included some of Rob’s poetry, so I can share it.

hey babe wassup u? i jus wntd 2 say U look gud L O L

I often drift away from the spoken word as an art form, and every once in a while, poetry drags me back. It is one thing to work with a brush or charcoal; it is another to work within language. There is beauty in the limitations of the spoken word, and I love that Rob can share such intimacy in his haiku, which I broke down into its more familiar western layout.

hey babe wassup u?

i jus wntd 2 say U

look gud L O L

Rob’s poem is masterful in both its simplicity and its complexity. Here is one who truly challenges me to interpret the meaning of his cipher. I struggled with his piece for a while before finally responding and asking for a hint.

what u mean u no get?????? liked u in HS but 2 shy u still hot like day we met want 2

give dat ass a try  

Again, here’s his response poem, in a more conventional format

what u mean u no get??????

liked u in HS but 2 shy

u still hot like day we met

wnt 2 give dat ass a try  

Here Rob goes for a more retro approach by an exchanging rhyme couplet. After struggling with the allegory of his poem, I replied to Rob once again. I’ve tried to understand the layout of the one below, but I haven’t been able to figure it out. Rob hasn’t responded to me in a couple of days, so if you can help, let me know!

poem??? wtf dis isnt dat hard i want to hav sex wit u

Oh jeez.

The only thing modest about the pin-up is that it is “modestly inappropriate for work.”  You can get the original link here.

It’s probably not something you want your boss or Gramma to see, but it isn’t explicit, either.  Tress is holding out until that big Playboy offer.
