        I used to get emails like that all the time too… then I emailed them back, asking if they were into the same weird fetishes that I am. Funny how many people have blocked my email address lately…

        I mean, it’s not like [CENSORED BY MODERATORS] with a pair of [CENSORED BY THE MODERATORS] and a chocolate-covered [CENSORED BY THE MODERATORS] is THAT kinky, now is it?

        (Yes, that whole second paragraph is just me joking around. Unless Shaenon and/or Jeff decide to use it in a later strip, in which case, I want credit! And a strawberry-filled [CENSORED BY THE MODERATORS]. -_^)

          No, it’s not that kinky. Remember, kinky sex involves leather. Perverted sex involves the whole cow.

    (TUNE: “See Me, Feel Me”, The Who)

    See you!
    Write you!
    Scare you,
    Fright you!
     [repeat 4x]

    Writing to you, I send a message!
    Paper and ink, I send a text!
    Looking at you, I sense your fear now,
    You’re looking panicked and perplexed!

    You go and turn … all of the lights on!
    You’re not … sure what to do!
    This book … silently writes on!
    It scares … $#!+ out of you!

    Oh, Sweetheart, if we occupied the same universe, I’d be there for you.

    Sweetheart’s expression in panel 4 is a superb mix of unhappy human and unhappy dog… Also, what with the all-one-case/ no punctuation / use of the word “dog,” maybe she’s just stumbled across an “Achewood” script?

    JEFFREY! JOO GOT SOME ‘SPLAINING TO DO-OO!

    My bigscreen TV is overrun with My Little Pony, I’m even perv-ier than ever, my kids are addicts and somehow IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT!

    When you were stalking my life for script ideas (I still haven’t forgotten about Wrenchie; he is a loyal and trusted tool), you somehow put MLP in my Netflix que, didn’t you?

    Yesterday my son saw it on the way to his morning dose of OddParents and innocently asked to see it. I figured he’d get bored with it instantly, as he does with almost all cartoon fare that doesn’t have weird machines and dinosaurs and explosions all over the place.

    OMGWTFBBQSAUCE.

    He’s got his little sister watching it, and both of them hold me down on the couch so I can’t escape and now I have a toon-crush on AppleJack cuz she reminds me of the little red-haired girl next door and…

    Now, I have to eat you. In self-defense. Nothing personal, you understand. I just cannot allow you to infect any more innocent sapients. Or televisions.

      Don’t blame Jeff, blame Hasbro. They’ve ruined everything from boy’s childhood to Dungeons and Dragons. 4th Edition reads like bad MMORPG game.

        4th ed. would actually make a pretty good MMO. For table top gaming, OTOH… Let’s just say I prefered 3.5 ^_^

          That’s because D&D 4th edition is really the second edition of D&D Miniatures, which uses MMO-style devices to simplify the game back down into the tabletop war miniatures game that it originally split off from decades ago.

    But I.C.S.Y.D is not a very clever acronym… Although if you reverse it you can get Die, You St. Charlie Inbreed.

    What’s the previous page say; the one wear all the lines end with “you”.

      Thought it would be an entire page of:

      YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU

        Ah, I thought it’d be line after line of “I CAN SEE YOU” and then that make the other page “I CAN SEE YOU DOG” give it an extra punch.

        Ya know, though, without the comma though it seems to mean that dog must be a verb. But is it a a) a sentient self-writing book b) a pre-existing written book predicting a one and only one time interaction[*] or c) something else?

        [*]Please don’t make me quote the most probably well-known example of that! Everyone quotes from that one episode *waaaaay* too much as it is! Let me instead ask you when you were a kid didn’t you used to fantasize that the was a record that when you played it would have a conversation with you meaning the person who recorded it had to have been able to known your responses ahead of time? I thought about that all the time. Didn’t you?

          In such a situation, I intend for my first question to be “what are the next three questions I am going to ask you”.

            I which case the record or the book would say “I don’t know. I can’t predict the future.”

    Who would have imagined a city that Frankenstein would feel comfortable in would have scary elements?
