Snowy! Have you thought about psittacosis?

I'm saying it's not very good drama, either. It's just in poor taste.

Unless Onstad figures out a really clever way to redeem it, which I consider quite possible because he's a very clever man, I'm inclined to agree. Téodor should not have to get terror-laid for drama.
ETA: I mean, maybe he's not intending it to come off as terror-laid, but that's how it's reading to me, and apparently to quite a few of us. It reads like he feels coerced and intimidated, not like he's voluntarily experimenting.

The only character that has seemed to get away with telling Nice Pete no was Pat in strips where they lived together and frequently argued,

Maybe Pat can rescue Téodor.

real gay porn has two chiseled Adonises jackhammering in the jacuzzi, hard hats and steel-toes arranged tastefully nearby. The Hot Tub Brawls series is the Double Deuce to real gay porn's Rick's Café Américain.

I always had the impression that it wasn't even intended as porn, that it was more like 'Bum Fights.'
Which... also sounds like gay porn, now that I think about it.

OH the wonderful relief of suddenly feeling that SOMEHOW things are going to be okay!
Maybe not for Lurquilla's chinchillas, because they're all soggy.

I think I can only count this adventure as a complete success if the chinchillas get a blow-dry and a dust-bath and a cup of hot cocoa :ohdear:

Wow, now I'm imagining Ray as Bertie Wooster and Cornelius as Jeeves.

"If I may say, sir, the effect of that medallion with your thong-wear is a trifle... disconcerting."
Well, I bristled a bit at that. If the ladies didn't want to be getting mad rutty with a cat cold rocking a Speedo, then that was their bally loss. "Dash it, Cornelius, this is what I shall wear!"
"Very good, sir."

I think Ray is often supposed to evoke Bertie... just in a more modern and Californian way. He appears to believe in a certain Code of the Smuckleses. I don't think he'd ever be friends with a loser like Gussie Fink-Nottle, though.

Good luck. The latest Dark Horse compilation has been pushed back at least four times this year.

I feel really sad about the way everything Achewood seems to keep receding towards the horizon.

This is still, in my opinion, the most awful heartwrenching strip:

Why does it wrench your heart that Ray pays attention and takes care of his people?

I would also like to ask: Nice Pete's fried chicken recipe specifies 'Deep cast iron pot, at least 6 quarts in capacity.' I have a pot of that capacity, but it is wrought of aluminium (with a non-stick coating). Do you think I could still successfully make the recipe using such a vessel, or is it doomed before I begin?

I don't think you'd want to deep fat fry in a non-stick pan. It requires enough heat that you're likely to gently caress up the coating and/or get teflon in your food.

Thank you!

'Neck-breathing earth gypsy' is an insult bordering on the Captain Haddock level of virtuosity. I enjoyed it a lot.

Haha wow, I just sort of said it out loud along with a "blistering barnacles!" and had a pretty good laugh. Ray and the Captain would get along pretty well, I'd imagine.

Then the unwanted shirts will keep getting shoved farther down the clothing food chain, until some kid in Uganda is running around wearing a "Keep staring, I might do a trick" shirt.

I hope it's one of these kids:

because they look like they could make good on it.
Also, they look like they've been knuckleheads since small times. I agree, I would love to see a childhood strip that includes Pat. The existing childhood strips show that Ray and Beef's personalities have been pretty much the same all their lives. It would be interesting to see if the same is true for Pat, or if his dickishness evolved gradually.

I just finished a full rewatch of Twin Peaks so I kind of want David Lynch to get on with my imaginary fanfic movie where Harry and Audrey rescue Cooper from the Black Lodge and nearly get their asses kicked but everyone is rescued at the last minute by Diane (Gillian Anderson)... but this will suffice.

For some reason I was under the impression that he hired one dude, which was a step up from the operation being him and his wife. Don't know where I heard that though, if I did at all.

I wonder if they could sort things out by getting Topatoco to do it.

I dunno man, she keeps just coming back with a big grin on her face calling him "sweetie". It seems like the snapshots we're getting of the sad cat is when he's his saddest.

Molly is an enormously good and patient woman.

I'm just as happy to assume that High School is over, Téodor didn't have to suck anything, and Lurquilla and Nice Pete between them became David Lynch's new muse.
Oh, and all the little chinchillas got dried off and warm and lived happily ever after.

To be fair, "lying on the floor being depressed" is basically Beef's hobby.

The first time I saw him doing that I thought 'whoa he's in a bad way.'
Then I thought wait, he's a cat. My cats aren't depressed and they do that all the time.

I enjoyed 'starboard nut' a great deal, and am willing to cut this comic some slack on the grounds that he must be rusty. I look forward to seeing what comes next!

I still want my second cookbook, especially if it has Lunatic Noodles. Since I'm having brain problems myself at the moment, I guess I can sympathise...

I'm another disappointed Cookbook 2 order-er, and I just want him to get his act together on that. Call it a parting gift.
