Espionage (theme)

This theme parodies the James Bond books and films, and as the Dr No. series was the first to be made, with "From Russia with Love" as the current series (started on strip #1830). The strips follow the plot of the films almost to the letter, with the comedy being generated entirely from the situation and analysis of Stud's (Bond's) flaws and actions.

The protagonist, James Stud, is supposed to be an inversion of Bond. Where Bond is assured and collected, Stud is incompetent. Where Bond is suave, Stud is--despite his nickname--utterly lacking in charisma. Stud's advances Sylvia are universally rebuffed.
