      That's what SHE said!

      (Try adding that phrase after every sentence a bug says from panels 2-4.)

    Can you pretty please publish a book with all your archives? So many non-tech-savvy people are missing out on so much hilarity!!

    That's not the smell of unhappy, it's the smell of mediocrity. Whenever I hear the term scared straight I always imagine ghosts chasing gay people. It used to be vampires but now that would be very hypocritical. Anyway great comic Adam, you're the best.

      Vampires are only considered gay now because of the recent bad literature that shall not be named…grumbles

      It’s HP Lovecraft’s poetry! “eeee villl”

      (Srsly, HPL’s poetry was really bad, if you must read 1920s pulp poetry, read Clark Ashton Smith)

    Would this apply to the gheto rat wannabes? You know.. the kids who actualy have the funding to reach their goals but instead waste it all on drugs, guns, and oversized cloths?

    You are overlooking the fact that kids would find poetry recital through a kazoo hilarious! 🙂

    I feel ridiculously bad for those kids. Nobody should have their hopes and dreams crushed like that.

    On a side note, I also feel bad for that poetry book. Nice attention to detail with the unsmiley face.

    Panels 1 and 2 had me in fits. Personally, I would find a guy reading bad poetry through a kazoo extremely entertaining, though maybe not if my head was clamped in a vice…

    The poetry panel instantly made me think of Vogon poetry torture… which is about what most staff meetings feel like… :}

      Also, most of my class in school needs this treatment. The majority of ’em are morons who care about nothing except basketball, soccer, and or fashion.
