That urn comic made me think that at least Lyle is upgrading his style for the "bring home a weird gross thing for Teodor to disapprove of" genre of strip. An urn is a massive step up from previous entries like Lemmy shrine, dildo, and ditch bra. Hell it even had a plinth!

As Ray pointed out, they're walls of fifty year-old sheetrock that crumble like dried sand. Probably the only reason Ray didn't instantly Shockmaster himself when he busted through the wall.

reading Onstead's blog about golf, 9 Aug 06:

"Like most golfers, my extreme emotional problems lead me to swing too hard at the ball. In my case, this leads to a strong slice (when a struck ball shoots out, then curves off to the right). At one point, perhaps around age fifteen, I'd hit a wall in working on this problem, and my dad, sick of watching me not listen to anything he was saying, decided to buy me a lesson with the "pro" one day. It should have been telling that on the clubhouse price board, a half­hour lesson was the same price as a gin & tonic."

then immediately after it is the comic where Pat comes out:

"And, from the chrysalis, emerged...the caterpillar. [SFX - the sharp, short bleat of a cornet]"

And this is what makes the return of the strip insidious! Onstad knows that in each of us is a beef who hangs on to the thing they are good at in hopes that it will overcome circumstances and broke brain poo poo and maybe one day we will be if not happy then at least able to be loved as befits our basic dignities! Or maybe you’re more of a Molly where you imagine transcending a life that was preordained through the power of love and that death itself is not enough to stop you!

And he toys with our little probably autistic hearts anyway.

And it's dark and there is nobody driving And something has got to give

I have a whole lot of thoughts about modern Beef and Molly but it all kind of boils down to "this is a real rough chuckle at best." Thanks, Onstad, for coining a phrase that often applies best to your own work.

I would've preferred any of Molly's other lines from the unused panels (it's neat that Onstad has been sharing the process like that). I'll oftentimes like a lot of the alternatives takes better. Interesting to see the process and what gets left on the cutting room floor.

Yeah, I also liked the "q-tips and toothpaste" version better, both because it's a better joke and because it would be nice to see Beef and Molly interact in a way that isn't entirely about their relationship dysfunction
