Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for November 09, 2021

Only on Monday. (okay, going waaaay back to 1983 Duran Duran for this one)

He had the same problem when he was dating the black hole.

Cut her some slack. She’s new.

Still, a better romance than Twilight.

Don’t make him mad. He has a dark side

Wonder just how new? Might have to go out with a pencil to find out. (You know, Carbon dating.)

The tides here were VERY high for the new moon. Beautiful!

Buncha Moonies.

If they had seen her, I’m sure they would’ve said something nasty about how many craters she has.

Maybe she’s made of dark matter

Nobody believed when Black Hole was his girlfriend either.

dark matter — the last gasp of a failed theory?

She’s just going through a dark phase….

It not always moonbeams and sunshine ya know!

Does he also have a friend named Harvey?

It won’t last. They’re out of phase.

What? no earthshine on her?

She’s on the same side as the Sun, but she’s still closer to you. She’ll come around.

What! No Uranus jokes here? Come on gang.

Now don’t go waxing gibbous on me!

No, no, you got it wrong. It was “I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon”!

I thought it was a black hole. Newmoon, that’s a good one.
