I have no idea whether this strip is funny or not

Any strip that leads to discussing fake pornographic covers of Leaves of Grass has my Ok...

But what I wanted to say is... my God Onstad is a visual genius (I'm not fandrooling here [I just made that up], this is a distanced and reasoned evaluation) Last strip, when they show the first DVD cover with the dog, I couldn't... I mean I really couldn't even stare too long at it to try and get the joke, it was so painstakingly lame... the dog with that vague 70's cartoony feeling, that was a masterstroke, I was already in the "no-care" zone right there. Ve-ry good...

[wombat]

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

Oooh, good point.

Some old British lady's Cornelius is going to rent these and have a heart attack when she be slightly bewildered and amused when he pops them in the DVD player. 

[Doc Benway]

I suspect Cornelius would have to fight against the urge to close caption it

[Drastic Action]

But it's already double subtitled.

I originally mis-read the note on the DVD label as: "WARNING: STEVE, ANDY, Ron"

It made me wonder if they weren't part of some obscure pr0n rating system.

If I had little trophies to spare and could send them out to the internet, you would win the little trophy for Scariest User Icon, hammish. Welcome aboard. This talent is not unappreciated.

If we ever have a 2006 Touambies, he'd win the 2007 ones.

[Drastic Action]

Indeed, that is frightening.

Also, what is with that HOT PICK thing -- is it a tag sticking up off the top?  I have never seen a tape with something like that.

Canned by proxy for LFM

[jaydub]

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.

Let alone, buy again after having dropped a chunk of change 4 years previously on the same title.  They should consider upgrade fees somehow.  And not going in and having Greedo fire first, hence changing the essential personality of a central character. [/bitter]

Hey, it actually works!  At least, in the sense that I accidentally read "Whimsington Stroke" for "Whimsington Storke." 

The alt text and the last panel made me crack up.  I wonder if Belforan Mews comes in a box-set (also, what's actually inside it?  Guy-on-hoss?  Guy-on-hoss-on-busboy?  Guy-on-hoss in the sense of a dude just riding around on a hoss, having a grand old time?).

[Arachno-capitalist]

Under the right conditions, Id watch a movie about whimsical storkes.

If we ever have a 2006 Touambies, he'd win the 2007 ones.

Many thanks. Long-time reader / first-time poster etc... Were I to win such an award, I'd blush profusely and donate all proceeds to PAWS (from Anon Y. Mous, in thanks to STEVE, ANDY (ron)).

It was my understanding that the 2006 Touambies were cancelled in the aftermath of the Great Outdoor Fight, like the 1946 World Cup.  Or perhaps John T. Brush raised objections about the way nominations were handled the year before.  We could have a ceremony this summer, like the Intercalated Olympics, assuming people are bored enough.
