[V-Adore]

If we are talking about The Overall Development of the Strip In McCloudian Capital Letters, I am curious:

Why all the porn-based plots in the last while, anyway? I mean, I realize that "since the Sani-Taco arc" has been a while, but it seems like a notable concentration. Lyle's gonzo porn, the porn stars moving in next door, and now so God help us a non-trivial amount of Circus c*ck content. What is up with this?

Pornography, both the product itself and the very distinct and somewhat insular community that creates / distributes it, is interesting and bizarre.

The strip's always evinced more than a passing familarity with porn - AVN jokes, the rudest titties, the high-five scare, birthday cakes - and hell, if he can make use of it in a clever way (which I think he has; compare with OMG I'M A PR0N STAR ROFLCOPTER *FRRRRRT* over at Diesel Sweeties), more power to him.

Oh, and I liked today's comic. It reminded me of when I was a kid, and my parents would try to play with me - only vaguely realizing that, thanks to comic books and cartoons, my toys had very specific and detailed worlds and rules that must be followed. The idea of the Falcon needing "Space Gas" is pretty much exactly like something my dad would have said. I get the feeling that they were just screwing around trying to entertain Philippe, whose attention, predictably, wandered to Popsicles.

EDIT: now that I think about it, Lyle was probably playing the role of Chewie, and decided to take off with the almonds. That fuck*ng guy.

i had not thought of those paticulary possibilities but now that i am presented with them i am struck by their obviousness and plausibility.

I like that Teodor is talking (yelling?) through the old-type cone megaphone for no readily apparent reason.

It's not for no reason - he's Darth Vader, and needs the cone to do the voice.

Sheesh.

I think he's Han, actually.
