I agree with you in that this is a comic about the ideal vs. the reality, although the undead version of Benedicta calling herself trash always seemed a little harsh (but it did grab my attention).

On a related note, Cake Wrecks has a special post about undead wedding cakes. http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/2009/03/romance-is-dead.html

Well the two most genuine things about this poem are
1) that everyone falls for the ideal, and,
2) that unless you say “Enough of this” you are stuck with reality. Well, not stuck–you CHOOSE that reality, like our large-nosed hero here whose is now “stuck”…..metaphorically….

I like the metaphor of someones true colors coming out being compared to their first impression self being dead–cause you’ll never get that person back.

This poem reminds me of teen angst.
…and early 20s angst.
…and mid-20′s angst.
…and late 20′s angst.
…man am I glad I’m married to a wonderful, graveyard dancing corpse bride!

Excellent choice of a poem, Ryan.
Well done.
