Attention all lovers of lore and laughter, your comic conquest now commences!
From a cardboard box in a dino’s talon,
Does anyone live their days like Calvin?
Hobbes did your homework (it’s all wrong)
Built a headless snowman? Come along!
Stupendous man reads codes of cypher,
Schrödinger’s cat? No, it’s Watterson’s tiger.
Is that too much energy for you? That’s fine.
Say hello to Garfield, the lazy feline.
Lasagna’s my favorite, the kitchen’s my world,
See the pink cat? Yeah, that’s ma’ girl.
Coffee’s the best, on Mondays we get crabby,
We all love this fat, cynical, orange tabby!
Let’s go visit the village of magical mishaps,
Romans go BONG, this place is a deathtrap!
Extraterrestrial alien in light of a yellow sun?
Nah! Around here, we just fall into a potion.
You can put on your armor. Make it brass,
Asterix and Obelix are kicking your… butt!
Get back to today, we all know Peanuts,
Charlie and Lucy and Snoopy and Linus,
It’s a comic strip about little kids-
Baseball, Beethoven, and wisdom that hits.
Adult-like kids, it’s a classic comic paradigm,
Oop, can’t talk, it’s my bedtime!
Billions of blistering blue barnacles,
Let’s go investigate those big tentacles,
Thomson and Thomson – they share a brain cell,
Prof. Calculus has too many, oh well.
Snowy’s found old bones in the dustbin,
Get ready for The Adventures of Tintin!
So if you like your comics, assemble your clans,
Mark your calendars, and all cancel other plans,
