Hahah, gross. More than anyone wanted to know.
Guess the movie poster behind his TV! Unlike Casa Blanca I’ve actually seen this movie. It’s one of my favorites! Here’s a hint: It’s so long it has an intermission.
Also, re: porn. It seems the weirdest, most disturbing porn is always in black cases with no cover pictures. True story! I was at the porn store casually browsing one day and I found a totally black case, and all it said on the front in fancy Ye Olde English fonte was ‘NAZI TORTURE CASTLE’. So curious! But, also, so not! D:
Damn, that’s a long movie, I want to know what it is now.
It’s Dr. Zhivago. It’s a wonderful movie. It’s not that long, I guess, but three and a half hours was quite long for the 1960s.
Thanks, I should try and see it, I love older films.
*SNRK* Oh, Dr. Schtein. That somehow doesn’t surprise me. XD
Dr Zhivago?
Yay, correct!
CHICKS YELLING AT YOU is the best name for a porn series ever.
Lol, that small peek of what’s inside the closet makes me hope it’s full of lab coats, tons of lab coats. Hrmmm, I wanna say the posters from Dr. Zhivago, but not totally sure. ^ ^;
It is, yeah! I had to simplify it a lot, but yeah.
Oh, there’s probably a few labcoats in there, but he probably keeps most of those at the lab. The only coat inside I bothered to give any detail to is a blazer with eblow patches. Because elbow patches are hilarious.
I love the gloomy coloring in this… and the backgrounds are so nice and detailed. I feel like I’d be giving spoilers if I even mentioned what I see back there ;)
Also……. kitty carrier?? :D
*Gasp* is it Gone With the Wind!? Oh right, Dr Zhivago?…Never heard of it! Actually, it does ring a bell…
Go on Osgood. Play the tapes so we gets to see the yellings =D
Oh yeah. Do I spy a ‘Happy Birthday Dad’ Birthday card…? o_O
This is what got my attention. It looks like it has yet to be sent, though, since the letter isn’t opened as letters normally are (torn at the top with a letter opener). Is it from the cat? We know the good Doctor’s father is deceased.
It’s not impossible to open an envelope without tearing it. It’s not from Marcus. He can’t read. ;)
Is that a cat carrier in the fourth panel? Also, that birthday card in the first panel depresses the shit out of me… ):
Alright, it looks like that cat in the picture has tiny kitty breasts >_> /immature
I am excited for her to find Marcus! That little pet carrier fills my heart with hope :D
Also, Schtein must not be used to having people over if he just leaves his porn out on the shelf. At least tuck it away in a drawer, man :T
I can’t imagine he entertains much, no.
‘NAZI TORTURE CASTLE’ is actually pretty good!
I think the “Chick Yelling At You!” tape is just exactly about what the title says, not a porn movie. I think it’s like the tape in that one comic, where a guy rents a videotape titled “A Japanese Woman Cooks an egg and asks about how your day went”, and the video was about a japanese woman who fried an egg and asked how your day went.
I imagine that there’s different women yelling at you at different parts of the series. Just yelling things like “YOU NEVER PLAY WITH OUR KIDS! WHY DON’T YOU EVER HELP ME CLEAN THIS HOUSE! WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU COOKED? DON’T YOU DARE TO SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT! AND WHAT IS THAT!? ARE YOU DRINKING ALCOHOL? THAT’S IT MISTER! GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE HOUSE!”.
It’s fun to imagine that when Schtein returns back to his room after a extremely stressful day, he takes out his drinks and “special candy”, and pops in the dvd and just listens to the women yell at him while eating pills and drinking alcohol. He does it because he wants to make himself more stressed and miserable to give himself a reason to drink himself drunk, thinking “I have to work so hard, and these women still yell at me. Ungrateful bitches…”. And when he’s drunk, he starts to yell at the women, like “FUCK YOU! GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN, BITCHES! I WORK MY ASS OFF HERE AND YOU JUST STAND THERE AND WHINE!”.
Sorry, this was a extremely weird post.
I believe that was from “pictures for sad children”, but I can’t find which strip it was.
You win the Elicited The Most Love of the Week Award. Which is quite a feat, since this week I’ve been looking at lovable dogs for adoption.
Hahahaha, vol. IV.
I wonder where Maurice is…
Marcus*
I was thinking about the wrong cat XDD
still a talking cat though right?
He only got Vol.4, because after that he discovered the “HOT BABES LOOKING DISAPPOINTED NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY” series.
XDDDDDD YOU WIN SECOND PLACE!
Haha I love all the little details, ohmyGOD. The teddy bear and the birthday card are getting me hard somehow, I know this is like stupid for me to find it so funny but at one point Schtein was holding those to put them out on his table and that image alone is slaying me.
Also a cat picture on his wall, I love you Schtein. You’re both fluffy and gross at the same time!!
CHICKS YELLING AT YOU!
ohmygod…what are you talking about Delia. You’re so lucky to have found a man who LIKES being yelled at.
Yay! I’m still hoping she takes Schtein’s cat out of there, poor little mutated cat.
I have missed the intricate backgrounds! It is good to see them again.
Casablanca and Dr Zhivago? Schtein has a thing for romances with crappy ending? Where’s his Gone with the Wind poster?
Marcus! Does that cute talking cat have a clue for Osgood?
Crappy ending? That was a great ending! Lots of love stories back than never had happy endings. I’m sad I’m from the late 80’s. Means I’m stuck with the pieces of crap we call “romance movies”. I’m not old fashion, I just know life is never fair.
Exactly life ain’t fair, so what’s wrong with the fictional happy ending? Not to say those movies weren’t great but maybe I want that happily ever after. That’s just me.
You’re totally right on these new ‘romance movies’. Do they even try anymore?
Keep in mind that Gone with the Wind and Dr Zhivago are movie adaptations of famous books. Not like you can just change the plot.
Some people think they can. :(
No, they don’t. Which is why I enjoy the old ones with sad endings. I’m 22! Its new to me. My babba, who grew up with those films never liked them for the same reasons you do ;p So your not alone at all~
Guess they finally caught on… they just need to tone it down, or make better movies >.>
I like movies and books and things with more realistic endings, I guess. I definitely have a depression limit, though, and won’t be watching Reqium For A Dream again anytime soon.
But then again… I’d totally watch Grave of The Fireflies again, no problem. Now THAT’s a sad ending.
I guess it depends on the movie.
There’s nothing wrong with a fictional happy ending, but the fact it happens in like 98% of modern romance stories is ridiculous. Even non-romance movies, there’s a man in the plot and a woman in the plot and at the end they wind up together. We need more movies that end realistically, and more movies that aren’t necessarily realistic but at least don’t do that cliche, predictable boy-gets-girl ending.
I wouldn’t have noticed it if you hadn’t mentioned it before… but the ear ring disappeared again.
I never, ever want to know what Chicks Yelling at You is about.
Also, these pages just keep getting prettier and prettier.
“True story! I was at the porn store casually browsing one day …”
…
Has no one else wondered what the creator was doing casually browsing in a porn store? XD
Look at porn? Giggling at dildos? That sort of thing. Also filling out applications.
Nothing adds character depth like a sexual fetish.
It really suits him, though. It’s not something I would’ve guessed, but it makes sense based on what we’ve seen of him so far. Especially that line of his in chapter 1 that it would be “so hot” if Delia were smarter than him.
The fetish porn will be sent to his estate along with the drugs.
I love that guy in the round picture frame in the first panel. Love him. I must know who he is. Please tell me.
By the way, I found this the other day.
