Will Write For Chocolate has been updated. The particular strip above refers to a recent plot development in Parry and Carney; Parry and Carney is a niche comic strip by a paleobiologist who also runs The Dinosauricon (http://dino.lm.com). Carney eats everything, true to his nature. In fact, he ate Parry in the first strip. :-D

I rarely understand Mike Keesey's blog posts, though I love some of his blog titles, like "In the Mesozoic, No One Can Hear You Scream". Despite my ignorance of paleobiology, however, I've gotten hooked on his comic. :-) I especially love the two most recent creatures he's introduced, Ferd and Dan. Deep down, I know Ferd's and Dan's days are numbered, but I can't help but nurture a feeble hope that they may be spared Parry's fate.

In honour of Parry and Carney's one year anniversary, I posted the following in Mike's comment board:


A SONG FOR CARNEY
In honour of the one-year anniversary of Parry & Carney
By Debbie Ridpath Ohi

Carney, here's a song for you
And though it has no chorus
or music, hey, it's hard to find
a rhyme for carnotaurus.

As for parasaurolophus,
a rhyme's out of the question,
Besides, Carney bit off Parry's head
without trace of indigestion!

THE END

In response, Mike has challenged readers of his comic to come up with a rhyme for "parasaurolophus." No one has so far (well, except for him :-). If you think of one, I urge you to go over to this comments board and post!

Speaking of songs, thanks to Peter Alway for posting his lyrics about mergansers in response to my post about the merganser ducklings. You can hear the lovely tune here and see the lyrics here.
