Relationshapes!

As the seasons change back and forth, and the world spins in crazy new directions, one thing remains constant: Relationshapes. Kick off your shoes, pour some lotion on your crow’s feet . . . and relax!

At first I thought I hadn’t received any new voicemail messages at Relationshapes HQ.  Then I realized my answering machines had broken due to overwhelming call volume! Here’s yet another message:

“Hallo, thees a message for Relationshapes! It’s-a me, Silvio Berlusconi, famous prime minister of-a Italy! I’m-a beeg man with a lotta money, you see. I have many sex-castles where I make-a love weeth young ladies! Do you a-like makin’ a-love weeth young ladies? Then we can be friends, you an’ me! Do me favor: Make-a me special Relationshapes weeth only young shapes, so so young, and I will-a pay you so many money! Call me on-a my phone, it’s in Italy.”

David Rees is a former political cartoonist. Now he is an artisanal pencil sharpener.

I'll admit I didn't get these comics for the first few installments, but I've grown to enjoy them.

What I'm trying to say is, my husband won't let me throw away his ugly goblets, and I can relate.

I'd better not hear about anyone not getting any of this today, because things are reeeaaaaal slow at my job and I've been listening to Carly Simon all morning and I am ready to THROW DOWN.

I'm ready to punch my coworker in this face, where is the Relationshape for that?!? Or a relevant Carly song!

Wait, the "I don't get it" people aren't David Reese sockpuppets??

You, hold my earrings while I fight this puppet.

I can't believe I spelled Rees wrong. Rees Rees Rees.

I have a feeling that #youllnevergetmygoblet is going to start getting plenty of use around here. And I love that feeling.

I have a feeling that by the end of the year we are going to read a news headline that a major terrorist organization has been covertly sending messages to its cells via relationshapes.

I pretty much live for these.

I can't tell if I'm in love with David Rees or in love with an abstract shape I imagine represents David Rees.

Alissa (#2,825)

I think you and I should become the official Groupies of Relationshapes. I want to caress David Rees' obtuse angles so hard.

carogriffin (#3,488)

Dear Alissa, my new best internet friend. How I love you.

You work the obtuses, I'll take the acutes.

Can't it be both?

It's like a Cathy for our generation! I love you, Relationshapes.

Dragon goblets, Ack.

Please tell me there is a Relationshapes facebook page. I need to broadcast my love for this TO THE WORLD.

Best edition ever

Peteykins (#4,497)

I came for the shapes, and stayed for all the feelings!

ShamelaAndrews (#3,581)

I feel dumb because I read these everytime and I never get them? Is it hipster humor? Am I too mainstream? Do I not get the references? I have relationships! I thought I met the criteria for a target audience!

if you don't get it, you're thinking too hard! just pour a glass of wine and enjoy the pink angles.
