I’m still trying to get into the page on Gocomics. This is absurd !
Hi, Ish. I discovered that they were no longer accepting the way my previous user name and password were formatted so I had to create new ones, but my avatar is still there. My email address identified me. It took a long time and much trial and error, but I figured it out with no help from GoComics. Still much to figure out, but I can read all my selected comics easily. Commenting is now harder, and all the old ones are gone! Keep at it. Good luck.
/// The fresh air and the warm sun attract them
to a haystack (though insects attacked them).
An outdoors winter idyll
would have been suicidal,
so they put up with flies and just smacked them.
/// They just finished a roll in the hay.
Though he’s brainless, he’s more than OK.
Not a Land of Oz Straw Man,
he’s a ripped, in-the-raw man
who is once again ready to play.
/// When they rest between “rounds,” nothing’s said.
Dorette longs for a soft comfy bed
in which they could entwine,
but they’re here by design,
because each, to another, is wed.
/// She’ll find husbands are hard to deceive
when there’s evidence they can perceive.
The straw scratched her all over
and she’s sneezing, moreover,
from a hay fever none would believe.
