Ron is clearly a douche for not participating much.

I mean, it's his job.

[Victoria Waterfield]

I don't know, a DVD from more than 15 years before they were invented would interest me just a bit, I think.

[MattFish]

I love the little UNRELEASED label. That cracks me the hell up.

[littlefallsmets]

The plot is advancing. With a comic that makes me laugh 75-80% of the time, I will definitely take a strip that isn't big on the laughs but moves the plot toward bigger laughs. I will take it happily.

The covers of the fake DVDs are... interesting if not exactly funny.

The alt-text gave me a decent chuckle.

Considering it was free, a decent chuckle is pretty good.

Totally agree about the alt-text. Before I read I kind of noticed that Ron's name seemed a little smaller but it didn't totally register.

Why is Pat being so agreeable? Maybe next strip he'll start being anal and try to take over.

Edit: Also, I like the picture of Whimsington.

[V-Adore]

Funniest detail about this strip for me: the fact that the porn actors are identified only by exceedingly common first name, as if all gay porn aficionados were just on a casual, first-name basis with these guys.

[littlefallsmets]

Pat is agreeable because he smells money.

Also, because he will be flush in jack-off films as a side effect of the money.

Everyone wins. Pat's greedy side AND his gay side.

[Limmo]

Some old British lady's going to rent these and have a heart attack when she pops them in the DVD player. 

[RMJ12345]

Yeah, if someone slapped down a DVD with what looks like Walt Whitman's doppleganger on the cover, my interest would be peaked, AND I would probably think it was gay porn. 18th

I mean, I wonder if Ray discovered WW was gay, and went back in time to create fake covers for Leaves of Grass?



I mean, that just screams "Dang, I never thought it would be like this! A guy is rocking my can!" 
Ray needs to cover for those confused or ashamed 18th century Pats.

[chuanoplast]

What would a fake cover for Leaves of Grass even look like? A book with no title and a lithograph of a square inside a circle?

[AugustWest]

I have no idea whether this strip is funny or not (which would tend to indicate that it isn't...)  but DANG, Onstad may be on to a good business plan here. 

Also, it makes me wonder about all those movies I can't imagine anybody renting at the Video Vault.

[coldfrog]

I don't know about "getting" the strip, but the humor I find comes from the arbitrariness of the labels and titles on these things.  It seems very Python-esque.  Just select something that seems obscurely respectable and stick a little gay porn inside, and voila!  Instant nonsense!

However, if he IS specifically trying to make fun of something, my guess is the way that a lot of popular movies these days like to add to their labels things like "Unrated Version" and "1100 never before seen special features and commentary with the head gaffer" and such things as if to suggest that these things actually make the movie better, let alone worth paying anything to watch.

Pat is agreeable because he smells money.

Pat is agreeable because he is still embarrassed by his gayness and somewhat timid therefore.
