Bad Machinery by John Allison for October 18, 2019

The mystery boys debating one of life’s great mysteries.

“Pwoing!”

Weddings will do that!

Now I actually want to see them test that top hat theory…

If the only way you can think of to find out what girls want is to ask some teenage boys, I’m afraid you are doomed to live in ignorance….

“Wommen desiren to have sovereynetee

As wel over hir housbond as hir love,

And for to been in maistrie hym above."

-The Wife of Bath, Canterbury Tales.

Linton, you ought to ask Claire whether she’d like to go to the movies with you instead of burning down another barn.

Even Freud couldn’t answer that, Linton.

- Girls -

Girls, they make their lips all red and kissable,

But kissing them is not permissible.

Girls, they diet till they are svelte and curvy,

But if you ogle, think you are nervy.

Girls, while walking they swing and sway in way improper,

But when you follow they call a copper.

Girls, you fall for them,

And then they fell you!

I think pwoing would have worked in the 7th panel better.
