so thoughtful, ray!
fuckyoufriday » neu 2 years ago
Ray is pretty open-minded, once you get to know him.

It'd be great if this were actually what pornography were like for same-sex couples.

ONLY...if it involved such delicious sounding drinks.

Banana compote and BAILEYS!? Sounds divine.

Man anyone who's ever high fived a dude or lady they were boning mid-bone is totally my hero.
norsef » neu 2 months ago
I did once. Though to be fair I think she had he hand out to be held or caressed or something girly like that. But a high five felt more appropriate.

Pat's male patterned baldness is nature's Rorschach test
neaner » neu 1 years ago
I was more interested in how although Pat has cat ears on top of his head, his hair seems to arc over what would be the human ear location.

Two Bruce Waynes from the animated batman series, staring up in shock at another mans ass being lowered down on them from above.

Banana compote is pretty rad.

Also, I can't wait to use the phrase "do a Bailey's" next time I'm at a party.

That phrase doesn't get any less funny no matter how many times I read it.

onstad loves the concept of romance novels. i wonder how many of them have appeared in strips.

dogg this is a straight up novel

You got no right man YOU GOT NO RIGHT

...I humbly retract.

trollcollins » neu 1 years ago
Ordinarily yes but this is at least 234 pages of single-spaced text. In terms of man-hours that is worth like 763 homemade cards.
selbencoirlo » neu 10 months ago
*sighs, sadly tips the carefully chiseled solid gold statue of overmedicated into the trash*
I guess it'll have to be a gift card this year then.

(do people chisel gold? Is that a thing that works?)
lamboyster » con 10 months ago
That is pretty much the opposite of how it works. Also, solid gold is extremely soft, a solid gold statue is not a great idea.
selbencoirlo » neu 10 months ago
*sadly tips the carefully cast gold statue of lamboyster into the trash*

Goddammit I need to stop buying so much gold. The man on the television told me it was a good investment.

I love how Ray thinks gay guys yell loudly about "getting their gay on" while preparing gourmet food. The names are also pretty gay. If you knew a guy named Thaddeus, you'd think he was gay.
straw » neu 2 years ago
I do and I do
jeofredo » neu 2 years ago
I also know a gay Thaddeus- an example of the name making the man? Or, we just know the same guy, which is also weird.
boredom_man » neu 1 years ago
In pubescence, I know a gay Thaddeus whose mom tried to beat the gay out of him. Coulda saved the world a lot of pain, had she read To Shave a Sailor before his birth.

This is not the first gay romance novel.
vreeeee » neu 2 years ago
But it's the first one that speaks to me on a personal level.
jackparsons » pro 2 years ago
Also, it mentions food. Excellent food. Bad taste in booze, but excellent food. Gays have excellent taste in clothes and food, but I have no idea how good they really are booze. I suspect they pretend to understand wines just like the rest of us do.
fuckalgebra » neu 2 years ago
Two words: Coconut rum.
cailetshadow » pro 2 years ago
I can't believe you have not been drowned in chubbies, that link is AWESOME. I wondered for a moment if Onstad had somehow created it as a hoax.

"Gaywyck, the first gay gothic romance, treads firmly in beloved territory"...if you know what i am talking about

Gaywyk!
makes you want to say it out loud but later, not at work.

It's the first one sold with the dust jacket reading How To Weep The Weepy-Weep Way.
jaldor » neu 1 years ago
One of the main characters is Donough Gaylord, Lord of Gaywyck. Thas is simultaneously the most brilliant and most retarded thing ever.
featurelessvoid » neu 2 years ago
Actually, Roast Beef and Teodor discussed it at some length in the "Pat's Dad" story arc.
littlefatdog » neu 2 years ago
true that. ray is the only one who has said anything to pat, however, i thinks.
paperboy_2000 » pro 2 years ago
Cask-strength gay. Please dilute with Elmore Leonard before consuming.

30 years later, over a cod dinner

"You mean my father Ray Smuckles was R. Dorado, the first gay romance novelist?!? I should know stuff like this! Grandma!!!"

"I never wanted you to look for that ability in yourself."

I won't have you writing gay romance novels, grandson. Men die.

Bless Ray, he tries so hard.

You nailed it. First impression of Ray might be douche in an Escalade - but when you get to know him he's the real deal - the cat's hard core upstanding.

Pat's male pattern baldness resembles a pinned-on yarmulke.
trollcollins » neu 2 years ago
In Ray's mind:

Being Gay = (gourmet foods)(yelling about being gay) / (bad taste in booze). To the power of poncey names.

RAAAAAAAAD!
riazm » neu 2 years ago
If you've noticed, Roland is actually Ray's self insertion character. Not because he's secretly gay, but just because he's so poor of a writer.
drskradley » neu 2 years ago
I love the indignation that Pat has at the fact that someone is knocking on his door, like it's extremely obtrusive. He's such an asshole.
highpitch_83 » pro 2 years ago
Anyone else notice the uniqueness of Pat's male pattern baldness?

R. Dorado.
Ray Dorado.
El Dorado.
It all makes sense now!

I pictured the "R." as standing for "Ramon"

it's Rick Dorado.

And with good cause. I completely forgot about the strip where that name was introduced.

I used to work at a used book store. People often had some pretty strange things to bring in.

Most relevant and highly notable, this book, with the tagline "Roman Officer Victor Decimus, the Vampire who loved Christ, is back. And he's bolder and sexier than ever!"

Not only gay romance, but gay... vampire... christian?... romance?
fineoakstructure » neu 1 years ago
now that's a niche market.

fineoakstructure » neu 1 years ago
Eh, not too far off: it's Paul Lynde.

On re-reading my original comment again a few weeks ago, I was surprised to see it chubbied three times, as it seemed like the kind of thing Paul would say. That is exactly what his face would like after saying it on Hollywood Squares to much canned applause.

The chubbies are my canned applause.

#90 in Books > Gay & Lesbian > Mystery & Thrillers > Gay

So gay they had to categorize it twice.

"So what makes it different than other lgbt mystery novels?" "Oh. Well, it's gay."

i like the contrast of the urban slang with the fancy-pants food(in the book). gays are quite teh complex.

I've read a lot of gay sex novels and that must be one of the rudest.
