I was about to put this on hold until…an idea finally struck me! Begin resurrection!
June, 1969…(B.O.B. didn't arrive yet.)
Dr. Cockroach was about to take a bite out of a piece of stained papers. Stapled or glued together, the papers compiled into a calendar. Before the first of a series of nibbles could begin, the calendar was ripped out of his hands. The scientist blew tenderly onto the fresh paper cuts.
"What a waste!" The Invisible Man cried sarcastically. "Look, look!" The seemingly levitated pages flipped over to May. None of the dates had been marked out with an X. He continued to search through the pages backwards.
Through December, he hummed and sang, "Mm-hm-hm-hm-mhm-kh-hm, We wish you a merry Christmas, la da de da dum de…" Pausing at October, he looked at the painting of a jack o' lantern. "Heck, every day's Halloween here." July—"O-oh, say can you seeeee,". He stopped immediately at June.
"Why'd ya stop?" Link asked.
"Well, macho bunny," The Invisible Man began as he sat down in one of the metal chairs and kicked his legs up on the table. "June's a VIM—very important month—for me.
One—it was my birth month. Yessiree, the eighth of June.
Two—I got married that month. The eighth as well. Every guy should get married on his birthday."
"What was her name?" Doc asked monotonously, focused more on his lunch than his inmate's drabbles.
"She, buggo, was named Misty." The Invisible Man sighed. "Ah...sweet little Misty. The apple of my eye, Mon notre dame chere." He growled flirtatiously with a French air. "Outta this world alright."
Dr. Cockroach and Link looked at each other and shrugged, knowing each other had at least some mutual thoughts on the world of love lives.
When he was still human, Dr. Cockroach was engaged for a short while to some girl, Ilene, her name was. They met each other years ago at primary school and never saw each other again until he was working on his doctorate in the late 50s at college. The last time he saw her was only fifteen minutes before his freak accident.
Link had an interest as well. Before being frozen in ice, he mated with a pale yet gorgeous creature of his kind named Nerilla. Life was peaceful and almost perfect until the Ice Age set in. The harsh cold forces, both on land and in water, shook their world and separated them. He never saw her again and was a few days later frozen.
"Hang on, I thought Valentine's Day was in June." Link said, half sarcastically.
"Well, look who knows so much." The Invisible Man snapped back. "Y'all's may have had a sweetheart at some time in your past, but none compares to my love life. Watch. How 'bout this?" Link and Dr. Cockroach face palmed.
"Don't beat yourself up in such a manner, mon chere." The Invisible Man cooed, kneeling in front of Dr. Cockroach. "Sweetest Doctor Buggo Cockyson, will you…" Dr. Cockroach could feel his hands being grasped and caressed in the once-human monster's hand.
Oh, heavens, please. He thought. Not this.
"…will you have the privilege…"
Anything but this.
o-of tying my shoelaces?"
Dr. Cockroach scoffed. "I should say not!" He angrily withdrew his hands and stuffed them in his pockets.
"C'mon, Doc," Link grumbled. "Let's just get the heck out of here."
The fish-ape and the cockroach man walked off to their cells.
"Don't fret, buggo! You'll make the little loopies and I'll tie the knot!"
