I really like a lot of the poem but agree with Subo about that couplet, it always makes my stomach turn just when i’m getting all bombastic. Its not romantic, its wrong headed and dangerous to live like that couplet suggests. cf “I am a Rock” by Simon and Garfunkel.

Subo @29 yep.

Problem is, if you looked like that girlie, you would NOT be popular!

’subo… give’im a break… he’s a romantic!’, if you say I have too, it’s tough though when you find “loving friends (and family) can hurt you,”, i guess thats why i find Isaiah 53 so mindblowing.

2-6The servant grew up before God—a scrawny seedling,
a scrubby plant in a parched field.
There was nothing attractive about him,
nothing to cause us to take a second look.
He was looked down on and passed over,
a man who suffered, who knew pain firsthand.

25. Actually depending on the culture, maybe one could leave the soul patch on.

If….
it’s all rubbish isn’t it?
It isn’t.
And we usually don’t.

Great cartoon (as always) Jon… but can’t help thinking if you really did look like the third box you might have to change your name… things might get confusing otherwise… and you’d def. have to shave off the “soul patch”

See you at Greenbelt mate!

AnneDroid (10): I’ve believed it for years, but I find I’m not very good at it a lot of the time! On the other hand, I’m infinitely better at being me than anyone else would be …
