The Solo, personally, makes me think of the "small and streamlined" trend in recent trendy items; what you're supposed to admire is the simplicity, I think. Either that, or it sends the message "I live in an economy of such affluence that I was even able to afford testicular-cancer treatment for my cellular phone."

Will the t-shirts have the balls on the chest or down by the balls?

This strip wasn't funny, but Ray's mastery of market-speak is pleasant to read.  Meanwhile several people have decried "the drama" in this thread, and moderators have imposed a strict subject format so that we may continue -- properly and directly -- our discussions of drawings of a cat attaching rubber testicles to his portable phone.  This is funny.  This is comedic gold. 

For me, Onstad's medium is not merely digital comic strips, but also their wake on this message board.

Maybe people would buy it as an ironic statement. "I'm a hipster using a cell phone which they say causes cancer. And look, my phone had to have a ball removed because it gave cancer to itself. Now if you'll excuse me I have to make a wireless post to my blog about how annoying cell phones are in restaurants."

Yes indeed. You're receiving a tiny can of Dr Pepper for that (something quite nice about having -whatevers cans of the thing and still being able to give them out freely...)

What I find personally funny is the fact that I was just looking at a piece of music equipment called the Solo.  Maybe you plug the single fake ball into the XLR connector?

There's also something really hilarious about going up to three balls and then down to one, as if going up to three is a sign of conspicuous consumption, while going up to one shows that you're rich, but at least you have good taste (in attaching rubber testicles to your phone).

I think this strip is funny. And I like to think about all the gadgets to which we can attach testicles. Isn't Karl Lagerfeld a total iPod nut? So we could have iBalls or such as BluBalls for people with those dumb phone things. Or BlackBalls (BerryBalls?).

This train is leaving the station; please get on board.

I guess it's an example of irony that Ray is making and selling things that he would otherwise order from the Home Shopping Network during a drunken stupor, and be all Daaaang why did I order some junk for my cell phone, everyone knows I hate that the next day.

Perhaps Ray is attempting to compensate for something.

I think the two are tied together.  Obviously people spend a lot of money on crap on Home Shopping Network.  Someone is making a killing off of it.  Why not the cat with a thong?
