Too hot
Once again it is way too hot. Very hot! SOOOO instead of drawing a comic i copy-pasted. Can you find in the archives all the source panels? They only go back to around number 168 or so. Fun fact: we're almost at number 300. Fun fact 2: the site had its second birthday earlier this month.
Rabid wrote the book out of the goodness of his heart but it was already too late for that.
This comic is in the following storylines:
- Variations
A long-running series, maybe the crux of the site. Reader submits a suggestion, and I draw three comics based on that suggestion. Originally all three had to start the same, but it evolved. - Summer of Keith
Good old Keith! I used his suggestions, and only his suggestions, for comics all summer long. It was a pretty nice summer.
This comic includes the contribution:
- Keith Prestwich suggested: A bakery becomes a backdrop for seduction
Text transcript
Rabid: Co-worker Rabish! I bought you some beautiful flowers!! Rabish: So you just felt like giving me another bouquet out of love just... just like that? Again? I'm running out of space... Rabid: FOR YOU!! Rabid: This entire book of wonderful poems is dedicated to you! Some of them are limericks. I spent a very long time on it. Rabish: There once was a boyfriend who wrote it so badly that he was demoted! He used to get smooches but now he's so louche his creations'll never be quoted! Rabid: There once was a girlfriend so cynical her critical gaze was the pinnacle of unjust derision--which led to rescission of boyfriends who found her inimical. Rabid: I don't get it! I'm just trying to be nice to you! With wonderful gifts always!! Rabish: Thanks to you I actually have TOO MANY candies! Stop BRIBING ME! <<gesture!>> Rabid: I guess the secret love perfume and food additive that Dr Quickly gave me didn't end up working after all... I should have just relied on my natural charm!! Instead putting my faith in that quack and his quackeries. A lesson to be learned to be sure. The next sweet dame who comes along I'll just sweep her off her feet with my winning grin and sly moves! That'll be grand. Grand indeed! It's bound to work. Rabish: SOMETHING IS HORRIBLY WRONG AND I FEEL SICK ALL THE TIME AND THE BOY I MET AT WORK TURNED OUT A CREEP AND I AM FREAKING OUT!! Dr Quickly: Well it certainly isn't withdrawal and also isn't my fault. Rabish: I... what?
