Dec. 3, 2007: Oooh la LAAA! La LA LA LA LA!
« on: December 03, 2007, 06:44:40 am »
"In fact ... would you upgrade it ... forty-seven times?"

I love how (until the next-to-last last panel) Lyle has the stone-set, nonjudgmental, pragmatic expression of a veteran sex-shop clerk here. He's pure unadulterated business.

As for that next-to-last panel, I can't tell if he's appalled or just had a "eureka" moment.

Odd how no matter what the venture Lyle still attracts the same customers.
Or there again maybe not.

It's nice that Nolan got a name though.

How is Lyle suprised by the idea of putting it IN the cup though? Is this a bridge too far even for him? In your answer please show all working and reconcile the fact that this is a guy who was last seen licking a cokehead's bra.

It's all eureka moment. Every tiny little atom of it is comprised of eureka.

In theory, yes, of course Lyle would think of putting it in the cup.

But he is very drunk most of the time and hence rarely looks beyond the first or second step of any plan.

I wonder if it isn't just Lyle's reaction to the extra fifty bucks being offered.  The dude's clearly desperate for his dildoed coffee fix, and Lyle's not even sure he's got that extra three dollars on him in panel seven, but suddenly he's forced to reevalutate the situation.

The fact that Onstad came right out and said Nolan looked like Edgar Allan Poe last time does make this kind of weird, though.  Is this some sort of commentary on Poe himself?  Or did he just happen to be an already-drawn character who looked sufficiently creepy to follow up Garfield's apperance last week?

when I get really turned on by something, I say OOH la la!
I am glad this is finally represented in a comic strip.

Melack, sometimes we meet as one mind, but sometimes we are as beings totally alien to one another. This is one of those times. I want the Perky Pervert to spin off to it's own damn strip at this point.

I always assumed from the first that he was putting the dildo in the coffee.  What does that say about me?

I think what gets Lyle is Nolan's complete desperation, yeah, and the realization of just how much people are willing to pay for this service. I mean, fifty bucks more for a trivial amount more effort?

It seems that the alt-text indicates that he's appalled. Duncan stands outside of his "it takes all kinds" tolerance. He seems to get over it pretty quickly, though.

It says that you and I think alike.  Also, am I the only one who wants to quibble about whether this is a dildo or a vibrator?  Two different things, people.  A dildo does not have batteries.

When I first saw the subject line on this thread, I assumed it would be ol' whats-his-name, Arrrrrrrrnold.

I was going to bring this up a couple of strips ago but decided to let it slide.
