TODAY'S NEWS: It's perfectly normal to be frightened and confused by the strange and unusual. I mention this in case you were thinking "Hey, today's comic is strange and unusual! I am confused and frightened!" (Although probably weren't thinking that, as my Readers are a resilient lot).

In case you didn't catch it, Kimono's Townhouse offered a challenge to produce a comic in the form of a sonnet, and I accepted that challenge. How many webcomics do you know that can claim that?

And fear not: we'll resume our normal prose style on Wednesday.
