The Love Song of J. Winslow Poocock

TODAY'S STRIP

How convenient. I'm back and Stantis is gone. By "gone," of course, I mean "absolutely cuckoo." Carmen gets all Patriot-Act'y and starts snooping through Winslow's computer only to find something that so Shocks and Awes Carmen that it MUST be love poems to Shelly the Turtle.

I can only imagine what those must be like...

I rend your shell through an underside crack,
Since I don't know which is front or which is the back.
And your mouth, well, it hurts when your jaws do snap.
At least I think it's your mouth and not your ass.

or

It hurtle
my yertle
when I hump
Shelly the turtle.

or

Dearest Shelly:
your backside is smelly.
Or maybe it's my nose, it's
too close to your halitosis.

or

My love-making...it couldn't be simpler,
it ends with a bang and not with a whimper.
Shelly, please take it from the back or the front.
To me it doesn't matter if it's your mouth or your...

[At which point Carmen turns off the computer and contacts the local authorities.]

I think it's going to be a love poem to her, and will start a 4 week cycle of strips that deal with bestiality (AGAIN), the liberals' fondness for alternative (read: queer) lifestyles, and Howard Dean.

These are just modified versions of the poems CJo wrote to chicks in high school.

OK, and what was with the political cartoon in yesterday's paper? Haven't we, as the media loves to say, moved beyond Sheehan in the news cycle?

It's good to have you back CJo, if only to remind us what words rhyme with "front."
