Call me a cynic, but the only reason there's even a SaniTaco in the strip is to sell t-shirts with the logo on them.

You're a cynic. Not that it's a bad thing, of course.

Quote from: "side_show"
Woah now. Lyle ain't no alpha male. It's all about Ray as far as I'm concerned. This will so totally be followed by Ray giving the smack down.

Sorry, but there is no way I can see Ray kicking Lyle's ass. Yeah, sure, Ray is now Diamond Ray Smuckles, with the Achewood police wrapped around his finger and a multiplatinum album, etc etc... but Lyle would tear him a new asshole without even breaking a sweat. And Ray knows it.

I'm going for the more primal, strongest-gets-to-reproduce angle, I guess.

Ray is so pissed that Lyle sent disparaging erotic fiction to Nugget magazine


What?!  LYLE sent in that letter?  It's not from the lady involved?  I am stunned.

a SaniTaco t-shirt would be possibly the best piece of merchandise that onstad could ever sell.



I dunno.  A SaniTaco urban sombrero might trump that.

much better than those new ray + nice pete designs grumble


Just yesterday i was thinking "For one funny dude, 'stad sure lacks hella savvy 'bout makin' shirt designs." The best one ever was a DIY design, on display here-ish. "Phillipe is standing on it." Simple. Beautiful. And a Sani Taco shirt would be rad especially if it didn't scream "Onstad-style design" and looked more like a true-life shitty corporate logo.

PS- also, this strip is funny. Lyle is the alpha male in the way that a large size grandfather is alpha male. It is just generally known that you just never fuck with him. Ray can be the "dad" figure, all trying to run the show, but of course lookin' like the fool he is most of the time anyway.

But really, I just wanted to interject "a sign that things are awesome" into the thread.  I was just thinking as I was driving to my office today that things are just so awesome.  I was in my car, thinking how weird it was that I was happy to be going into work, and liking my job.  Then I told myself "this is a sign that things are awesome," and then I got here and the strip pleased me so.  It pleased me so.


Say, are you all split on green?


This is why I love this place.

That Philippe design is not so much "good" as it is "on a girl with breasts". Don't feel bad; people make this mistake so often that our entire economy is more or less based on it.

For maximum authenticity, the Sani-Taco logo would have to be embroidered on one of those humanity-sapping knit "golf shirts" with the collar and puffy little cuffs all a different color offensive to the shirt itself (c.f. any fuck*ng chain video store). They would be a complete fuck*ng failure, selling only to the habitually slumming Hipster Elite. Then we know for whom to wait in the Parking Garage, so that we may kill them with cricket bats. IT'S WIN-WIN

no way, dogg. I don't even like BIG breasts, i see them a hella turn-off. I like the inside-joke aspect of that design much better than anything. It could be on hairy man-tits for all i care.

Now, I like to think of myself as a breast partisan. Big, small, I loves them all! Thus, it seems odd for me to see big breasts as a "hella turn-off." But I guess most people don't see assless leather chaps as a "hella turn-on," so I guess different strokes for different folks.

I think my current breast position come spartially  from A) a bad relationship with a large-breasted girl that involved lame sex and B) an awesome relationship with a small-breasted girl in which much rad sex was had.

That and big boobs are gross.

Could we stop wounding people's feelings for things about their appearance that they have no control over and get back to discussing the comic?  No, that would be stupid.  Could we get back to having the thread wander but in some less hurtful direction?  Thanks. Not that there's any reason that this should bother me, no no not at all.
