   /// That’s when Fido lived up to his name.

   Leaping, with his teeth bared the dog came.

   Wildly, Geoff swung his stick,

   then gave Fido a kick.

   To knock him off the bridge was Geoff’s aim.

   /// Her faithful dog, kicked in the head,

   floated swiftly downstream wreathed in red.

   Perhaps Emma then fled.

   If so, Geoff never said.

   She was never found, living or dead.

   /// Emma told him, “Most certainly not!”

   Then Geoff’s courteous ways he forgot.

   Emma saw she’d been brought

   to a desolate spot.

   His hands grappled, she gave them a swat.

   /// She’d agreed to meet Geoff on a whim,

   being somewhat enamored of him.

   He was handsome, polite,

   and seemed good and upright,

   ‘til he asked if she’d care for a swim.

   /// When “goodbye,” Emma’s mother, she’d kissed,

   Emma spoke not a word of her tryst,

   lest town gossips start talking.

   With her dog, she went walking.

   Many hours passed before she was missed.

   /// Her dog, Fido, stood watch as she “dated.”

   It was clear Geoff’s a man the hound hated.

   Alone, wet and confused,

   it limped home, badly bruised.

   But returned to that bridge— where it waited.

   /// The bridge crosses a wee waterfall

   which flows fast, though the drop’s very small.

   Downstream, other falls, steep,

   drop to ponds, dark and deep,

   which nobody is likely to trawl.

   /// Geoff brought Emma to The Trysting Place,

   where a couple could court face-to-face.

   From that small wooden bridge

   on a desolate ridge,

   Emma vanished, not leaving a trace.

   /// “OK, ladies, just give it a rest.

   I’m not lopsided, as you’d suggest.

   Very few have the fortune

   of pure right-left proportion.

   Can your boobs pass the very same test?”

   Thank you, Steve. I follow a few other features here and it seems that you are not the only CREATOR who has to deal with what seem to be odd and arbitrary decisions by some of the folks at GoComics. Still, as I wrote above, these are relatively unimportant problems in the scheme of things. Heading to Broadway right now for an evening at Spamalot, so I’m glad I already have a limerick ready for Throwback Friday. ;>)

    I usually type my initial comment(s) on an old iPad under the previous day’s painting, but I don’t hit the blue Comment button. By tapping twice on the screen I can highlight a single paragraph of text to copy it for a while and then, after the new painting has been posted, paste it where it belongs, add paragraph breaks, and then hit Comment. I guess I could paste it elsewhere, but I prefer to recreate them from a photo which makes revision much easier for me. Not recommending this to anyone else, but it has been working for me.
