I actually didn't think these were a real-life product type thing; I figured Onstad had made it up, like Fiesta Max. And when I saw them in a freezer case, I immediately had to send a picture to a few people: "Welcome to Hell, Mr. Smuckles. Here's your 1982 Subaru Brat."

There are a few "Beef is uncomfortable with Molly's Lady Things" strips that even at the time read kind of harsh and disdainful. Unfortunately, some of them are also funny. (The Bead Store is extremely funny and also extremely a strip about "women be makin' you go shopping for her boring stupid lady stuff," for example)

(Fun Fact! This strip was released around the time that Southland Tales was in production, meaning Wallace Shawn may very well have been ears-deep in Bai Ling's cleavage.)

Both the AirB&B and the actual B&B ones contain no incidence of Molly actually wanting anything, too. He's just inventing lady things to be mad at. Same with the one where he has to buy shampoo for her. Sometimes it seems like the only difference between Pete and Beef is the courage of the former's convictions.

Yeah, it really struck me how literally the only thing Molly even does in the B&B strip is ask Beef if he wants to do something special for his birthday, and then he's off to the races about BAD WOMAN IDEAS and DOING ANYTHING YOUR WIFE WANTS IS EMASCULATING. She doesn't even express an opinion!

The generous explanation is that the joke is supposed to be at Beef's expense, because he has incredibly debilitating depression and anxiety, but it's also funny to imagine Molly asking that and Beef stares into the ceiling for a solid ten seconds.

beef has thoughtful moments around molly but they’re mostly in the blogs, and also probably get badly outnumbered by his faults as the relationship goes on

Last panel reminds me of the old Dark Horse books, that was the name for the last collection. Man, I really wanted those to continue or for the big All-in-One volume to come out

Honestly Onstad could probably do pretty well if he found one of those small indie publishers and had them do a Kickstarter to do the Achewood collection rather than trying to do it as a mass market release

There's not been a lot of doubt about Onstad and Achewood being FUCKIN' BACK BABY, but if anyone is doubting please read the new strip. It's great. It's all been great.

He's not in a good mood, he's just faking the mannerisms of someone that is so that Ray will respond to his emotions whining with more than a grunt and newspaper rustle.

it is well established that roast beef will conclude that anything even slightly unusual means that he's dying, for example that he didn't notice the mailman came, or that he's craving chinese food
