Handwriting analysts will have noticed that a last minute revision was made to the punchline in the first strip. The original one was 'He let me have the video free just for pure persistence'. As you can see it was changed to something which at the time seemed far more innocuous. Now we know a bit more about Mel, and how his slightly askew worldview colours his movies, we may have been better off sticking with the original.
The last two strips begin a new storyline, very much based on the band I was in when I was at school. I say 'band'. I say 'in'. Actually it was a collection of grammar school kids with more ideas than musical ability, and access to some high-end (for the day) recording equipment. The band was called 'Gnomefumbler'. This is all you need to know for now. The story continues next week...
I never got the punchline with Mel Gibson the first time around, the original punchline seemed like it would have been funnier if more predictable.
