I've not quite recovered enough from a stinking cold and cough to be able to solve/parse the last clue in Cyclops 591: "Perverse alternative, sticking end of dick into leafstalk to get very erect." I've got '?o?k ?a?d'.

Reversed or - k- end of dick - in chard - rock hard?

Thanks, Ab, for your help - I'm already breathing more easily. g.i.
