Rod Huggins has just terrible eyesight.

i don't think so, but nice observation

Nice is not the word I would use to describe this phenomenon.

i would say he is clearly not and that it is just the break in the wall.

All in all it's just another break in the wall

... I can't hate you for quoting the Floyd.

The 6 people who have lamed your observation are not the sort of people with whom I would like to associate.

Seriously. All the rock hard cat cock in this thing and a bit of terror-scat sours them? These are people who, at the very least, could not watch more than two episodes of Metalocalypse under optimal conditions.

I know that's kind of lame in and of itself, but God damn do I love me some Dethklok.

How closely do you have to look at his ass to see this? I do not wish to attempt this.

In the case of emergency, scream "AL QAEDA" and run like hell through the nearest wall

It's the thing to do.

Doing the Kool-Aid Man's "OH YEAH!" yell right after that is purely optional.

Ooo, epic reading through the thread fail.

It's hilarious how you get lamed for offering insightful, constructive criticism. Here's a chubby.

Am I the only one who can hear Ray shouting "OH YEAH!!" in the kool-aid man voice in this strip?

To me, he's screaming HIKEEBA. Damn MST3K riffs nobody remembers anymore.

Mitchell!

McCloud!

Skinner!

Don't forget the accompanying "GYMKATA!"

And why no ads for "SPACOM"?

You, sir, are a nerd. Well-played! " HE TRIED TO KILL ME WITH A FORKLIFT!! "

Dude, not just this strip. As far as I'm concerned, Kool-Aid man needs to play the voice of Ray in the upcoming animated movie Achewood: Ultra Peanut's Secret-Sauce .

i love this one because it's like one of those scenes in "snatch" or "lock stock and two smoking barrels" where all these things start happening at the same time

Chubby for winning film-references.

I was really disappointed in the next strip to realize pat wasn't touching himself to Brave Heart. Now I'm still the only one :*(

Previous moments of this story arc can be interpreted to indicate that Ray is also in your camp. Don't lose hope.

I would assume someone leaping through my wall into the bathroom is Al-qaeda too.

Man, I picture Andrew Sullivan doing this every day.

This is the funniest couple of strips. I don't understand why more people don't enjoy this as much as I do.

The fact that people did not rate this strip five, it... I don't know. It makes me very angry. Like they think I am of low mind.

That is because they are of low mind.
I have voted it 5 though, so worry not.

I really wish I hadn't known about Achewood until the day this was posted, just so it could be the first strip I ever saw.

The alt-text makes it for me: "Meanwhile, at a series of lectures in a nearby town"

Read it in the voice of the narrator from Super Friends.

oh my. alqaida!?

How did Rod break through to Pat's room if he rented the rooms on both sides?

You have ruined this for me. I hope you're pleased with yourself.

Any given non-corner motel room actually borders three rooms. There is a room on each side, and also a room opposite the entrance. Usually the bathrooms of these motel rooms are bordering as that would have been the cheapest way to construct the motel.

This Yahoo! Answer might help, if I was unclear.

The only problem is that according to the last comic Ray and Rod are in a corner room filming this. Meaning if they broke in through the wall facing the entrance then Pat would have to be in a corner room which we have established he can't be. The only way it would work would be if Rod broke through in a diagonal direction.

he was so fucking scared he charged through 2 walls! it is reasonable that this is a metaphor for the average american's xenophobia.
actually, that's not reasonable at all.

he's rich, and rich people can do anything.

Here's my theory: Pat was trying to cover his tracks by renting the rooms under an alias. He was going there to watch gay porn, one of his favorite gay porn stars was Rod Huggins, 'nuff said.

Then either Rod himself or one of the other guys did the same when they went to shoot the movie. The understandably confused clerk handed over the keys to one of Pat's three rooms, and the rest is history.

I like the cut of your jib, sir.

Pat masturbates with both hands? Since when?

man, he's totally playin' with his..putter.......


....waaaaaaaiiit......

Totally thought Ray was going to bust in on Pat J'in' off; that last strip hell of foreshadowed me into a false assumption

Rod's fear of Al-Qaeda makes me wonder if he is a republican. For some reason this idea is very funny to me.

Is the reason... because he is a gay person, and republicans tend to hate gay people? That would make sense as a reason.

Also, he is a porn star.

First panel is wonderful.

On this particular trip through the archives, when I went to this page, I thought the comic title was "Un birthing Rod", which would have been a very different thing indeed.
