Be clear it’s . . . not a date
Despite the romantic bistro, it’s not a date
I’m not pursuing courtship, just working my plan
No matter who the fans ship, I’m not meant for one man
So Tip, it’s . . . not a date
Not even if we find new ways our lusts to sate
Our mojos mesh, as does our flesh
But you’re prey, and I’m bait
That’s why it’s . . . not a date
Way down in the sewers that run beneath town,
Carnivorous zombies are dragging us down!
Affecting our mission, this isn’t a plus!
Carnivorous zombies that prey upon us!
The Brain-O-Mat’s helping the undead to thrive,
But feral-type zombies prefer their prey live!
And Prop 39, we must help it to pass …
Go talk to the press now, and lie out your @$$!
Now disinformation, we must spread, and soon!
Say swamp gas was fighting a weather balloon!
But Artie and Tip, in a cozy cafe,
Are certainly not on a date here today!
Methinks that that Doc Lee’s style of lying will be something like this:
“No I absolutely did not see a renegade zombie devour someone! Oh wait, you didn’t even ask that? Well, um, I definitely didn’t see it, just so you know. By the way, did I mention that the brain-o-mat has a puree setting?”

Bwahahah, that last pannel. Artie makes this comic much better, reminds me of when I read Narbonic in a week!
Asking Virginia to lie? This plan can’t possibly go wrong!
Or she’ll go the literal route, and do the flop.
Nicely done today’s filkers.

Well, at least everyone is going with their strengths . . . ,
If you count “random technobabble” as equivalent to “lying”. Same deception, different style
