Lads, a day is poorly wasted parsing the Pokey the Penguin (http://www.yellow5.com/pokey/archive/) archive. Still, I felt inclined to pass on the torture.

For those who will say it's not the pinnacle of Western culture but rather child's play and sloppy at that, #78 What You Can Find In A Book (http://www.yellow5.com/pokey/archive/index78.html) is fairly sophisticated. (Often you must read the word balloons in reverse to make sense of the strip's flow.)

#159 The Hands Are Not Clean!! (http://www.yellow5.com/pokey/archive/index159.html)--featuring the obsessive-compulsive choose-your-own-adventure book!

#198 Poor Skeptopotamus (http://www.yellow5.com/pokey/archive/index198.html) had me laughing for five minutes straight. I am ashamed.

Here's one (http://www.yellow5.com/pokey/archive/index337.html) starring our friend John Locke.

Unfortunately new Pokeys are not being made. Ration what's extant!

Thanks to Pokey my great-great-great-great grandpa can breath again.

And utter some advice we can all use. (http://www.yellow5.com/pokey/archive/index338.html)
