Comics Do Shakespeare: The Sonnets, Verse 3: A pretty racy punchline for Jay Ward

Sonnet 18:

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:
     So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
     So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.



from Mr. Peabody and Sherman (2013 series) #4 (IDW, January 2014), script by Sholly Fisch, pencils and inks by Jorge Monlongo, colors by Jeremy Colwell, letters by Tom B. Long
