Notice, please, the name on the boss’s shirt. Edgar Al Land Pro. Then, you realize that the instructions he gives the assistant have the same meter as a certain poem. Hint: the assistant should reply “Nevermore”!
Should’ve been “All Land”. I find it weird that I spent too much time at 1:30 am last night reading about Poe & his family, etc on Wikipedia, then this comic shows up in the morning!
I know the anonymous toaster always left roses and the bottle of unfinished cognac at Poe’s original grave, but I never understood the reason for cognac. Poe was an alcoholic, of course, but I don’t believe I’ve ever read that he had a preference for cognac.
Yeah, absinthe more likely than cognac. And there ought to have been poppies instead of tulips. Maybe they are poppies? Quoth the lawnman, “Never Mower.”
