Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
I know you were hoping to save up for a house, but letâs be honest, whatâs more important? A place to live or a ring that will serve as an eternal symbol of your love for me?
âNow, Milady â you grasp your opponentâs wrist thus, then with your other hand, you seize the seat of his pants, thus, and â Allez oop ! â you launch him unceremoniously into a heap. Itâs an Eastern art called Jujitsu, I believeâŚ.
For some years now I have frequently home absurdly affluent Orlando suburb where Lambos abound. German cars are the rule rule, and the impoverished drive LexibusOr whatever the plural of Lexus is. Rolls Royce or not uncommon. Herewith,âBaldwin Parkâ:
âMotherâŚ.Please keep your comments to yourself. I want nothing but the very best, and the only thing that will do is a Jane Seymour Open Heart Ring! I want our wedding day to be perfect!â
M. LeFraud, the jeweler, was delighted that these two vain and stupid people and their equally arrogant chaperone, couldnât tell a genuine diamond from a zircon or 18K gold from plate.
âDonât worry, dear. The pawn shop owner will take good care of you until Iâm in a position to buy you back. And donât worry about me â your sister here will take very good care of me until then.â
âMadame, I clearly saw you shoplifting through the one-way mirror in the corner behind us. Now open your palm and let me see what youâve taken, or we will have to have our in-house duenna here strip search you.â
I have added a comment there (awaiting Mr. Melcherâs approval) pointing to the artist info I used to point to here. So far 3 works, by this artist, have been used here.Â
I canât put this thought into a limerick. Those clothes were beautiful but I prefer my jeans, turtleneck shirt and sweater. Much more freedom of movement.

/// There are questions, when Choosing the Ring,
to consider besides âIs it bling?â
Is it beautifully made?
Worth as much as they paid?
Will her finger turn green from the thing?

/// In this shop, everything is high priced.
Babette flirted; the clerk was enticed.
Jean-Claude feigned jealous rage
and this ruse set the stage
for Maman then to pull off the heist.

To a girl with a shred of sense
Who arouses desires intense
Your shrift will be short
In todayâs âsupremeâ Court
So youâd better learn unarmed defense

Itâs the age of the Roberta Court
Where two predators daily disport
Themselves, making decisions
After âbiblical visionsâ -
So ABSTAIN- lest you have to abortâŚ

In Baldwin park the Audiâs cruise /through seas of BMWâs
/and now and then the random Rolls/
a skinny blonde at the controls/
swans grandly past in silent splendor/
With Bentley itâs a top contender ..
But who. Pray, is that sad old man
Proceeding in his aging van ?
Youâll never ask -Iâll never tell..
Although of course you know him well
Tis shabby âCall me Ishmael ââŚ.

/// Sheâd said, âYes!â and he couldnât be prouder.
Theyâd be wed, (if her father allowed her).
When he sold everything
just to purchase her ring,
his betrothed, like her wig, took a powder.
