The sudden jump to Ray pondering,"I wonder if Pat would be good at folk rock now?" and its payoff is a beautiful thing.

"In a nation of broadband apathy, the pierced avenues of your local Tower Records are something like a roll call for reform... reporting to [Ray Smuckles'] Ragtime Detention Center is like pacing steadily toward the altar of... the only modern cultural validation which can even be said to exist." Douglas Coupland NAILED it on "rear end in your Pants" for sure

I love that Onstad actually succeeded in drawing a ding dong that looked appropriately furious in the follow up comic

That dude freaking out over the mint expired tax forms going,"I'm gonna get it right this time, man" tells a whole, weird, and very hosed up story all on its own.

MisterBear posted:Nope, very much a real thing and heavily associated with GE of Jack Welch’s time as well - which is part of the joke. Strange Cares posted:I’ve read the Wikipedia page for six sigma now and reread the past two pages and I gotta say, you nailed it, good slam. "Formal Six Sigma programs adopt an elite ranking terminology similar to martial arts systems like judo to define a hierarchy (and career path) that spans business functions and levels."

Weird, I distinctly remember the Rockford Fosgate storyarc and yet I have no memory of this strip of Showbiz wanting to start a business with Roast Beef teaching people how to rob banks. Oh well, I'll count it as being new to me! The follow-up strip is a delight too. Roast Beef: He uh he is partying down in Cozumel the chicks there are uh they are just insane this time of year Ray: Huh, that's weird! I've always heard that the chicks in Cozumel are pretty conservative this time of year!

Escobarbarian posted:Pretty much just what I said. In this strip, Pat had the dong, then Onstad removed it after an initial negative reaction, then reinstated it after an even bigger negative reaction to the removal Onstad apologizing by saying,"I didn't know how much my audience loved ROCK HARD CAT COCK" always cracks me up. Napoleon Nelson posted:I think of "You can do whatever you want in life" at least once a day It is a truly, truly wonderful line, yeah

I always forget about that strip but I love it, including Molly understanding that for a little kid it can be scary to ask a question about Jesus  "I lost a bet and now he gets to act like an angry blue-collar father all day" is so great.

zetamind2000 posted:you can do whatever you want in life That will always by my favorite. Also, while it's not a line I'll probably ever get a chance to use, I do love,"My car parts are on my car, by the way" That strip also has the wonderful alt text: "Seven men pissing into empties, calling you human being. They cannot see you."
