Leashes

An owner pulling her dog by the leash is paralleled with a lady pulling her boyfriend by the tie.

I don't know for sure, but I strongly suspect that modern men's formalwear was invented by a woman.

    Intravenomous

    Doc 1:  Dang it!  The vampires broke in again!  Doc 2:  Maybe now would be a good time to test out my invention.  Doc 1:  Your invention?  Doc 2:  I made a mixture of stuff that's toxic to vampires - you know, garlic, hawthorn, wild rose, holy water...  Doc 1:  Yeah?  Doc 2:  I got it to look similar to real blood, so we can fill an IV pack with it and use it as a countermeasure.  Doc 1:  Wait a minute...  Doc 2:  I mean, I know doctors are supposed to do no harm, but...  Doc 1:  Hold it.  Are you saying you invented a poison IV?  Doc 2:  Erm...  Doc 1:  Is all this just so you could make a bad pun?  Doc 2:  That's not entirely true!

    Wars are won and lost in the name of a good pun.

    And yes, vampires being allergic to roses really is a thing.  I bet that could lead to a lot of interesting promotional sales at florist shops.

    Frankenstein's Comic

    What should I draw this week?  Erin flips through her list of comics ideas, and notices three in a row that strangely seems to flow together.  She slams them together into "Disco camouflage rabbit in a habit thinks WD-40 is a tax form."

    So I keep a list of all the ideas I come up with for future comics in a text document, and sometimes weird things happen.  I actually noticed this coincidence a while ago, but had to wait until I was too tired to veto this as a stupid idea.

    High School Lesson #2156

    The janitor confronts the crazy geometry teacher: I summon the forces of order and cleanliness to smite you!!!  High School Lesson #2156:  Don't make an enemy of the janitor.

    Yes, this is a continuation of last week, because I think we all knew it was coming.  The insanity plea can only pacify the janitor to a certain point when there's fry sauce on the walls.

    Scream Sundae

    Mel starts out working on her homework at the kitchen table, but as Carmine starts gathering ingredients, she gets both queasy and uncomfortable, and eventually packs up and heads out the front door.  Carmine:  Let's see...  strawberries... blood sauce... pecans... black pudding... whipped cream... giblets...  Mel (to Pearl):  She's celebrating getting a good grade on her test.  Carmine:  This ice cream sundae will be the pinnacle of modern achievement!  Pearl (entering the apartment):  Is that haggis?

    Anything theoretically edible can be used as an ice cream topping.  That doesn't mean it should be.

    Cretaceous Concert

    Student:  Here's the piece I wrote.  Do you think we can play it?  Band Director:  Let's have a look.  "Concerto for Parasaurolophus."  Interesting concept.  So how are you going to replicate dinosaur sounds?  Student:  Umm...  The director notices that the score has a part written for an actual Parasaurolophus.  Director:  I recall that the court ordered that time machine destroyed.  Student (grinning sheepishly):  Technically it's a different one.  Behind them, some other students try to lead a Parasaurolophus into the room.

    After the sheet music mix-ups, frozen French horns, jalapeƱo jam, flood, and tromboon, you'd think that high school band couldn't get much weirder.  Challenge accepted.

    At least it ought to get him extra credit in both band and science class.
