Did you know...
that the best way to sound like a noob here is to ask what the Tiny Cans of Dr. Pepper are about?

Onstad is really on top of his game this week.  New Monday strip posted on Saturday night.

Woo-hoo.

Strip.

And you gotta love that Beef bought underwear to wear once and throw away (1 pair every day for a year).

Plus, he paid CASH for those 365 pair. That's perfect: he doesn't want to be user-data tracked at the underwear store.

But in panel 3 (obscured) he says he's going to go to the underground. All the receipts are from the "Hidden Hills Plaza" or some variation on the name... the underground is a mall?

Still: "I got MY way of doing thinks and MY way of lookin' so PISS OFF." Other than slamming the phone on Ray, have we ever seen Beef so demonstrative?

Well the underground is an entire hidden society for animals, so they have malls, strip clubs, restaurants, adult bookstores, liquor stores, and 7-11's I'm sure.

I like how Beef was so angry, but he still didn't change clothes.  Maybe he was actually taking his new look out for a spin.  Or maybe he just needed clean undies first.  Other funny things:

"Where it's always time for under #####"

Pumpkin pie as dessert for Teppanyaki.  Gross, yet seemingly very Roast Beef.  Ditto the black licorice.

take note of the times.  He ate, purchased underwear, and a book in 22 minutes.

This is one of the most detail-rich strips in months.  Yes, Beef is on a rampage, eating and making snap decisions in time to go home and watch "JavaWeek" on the PC Channel.

I love that the slice of pumpkin pie cost $5.99, too.  He's obviously splurging on overly-priced items, like that O'Reilly book.

I have to wonder where Beef's getting all this money. Is it a stipend for his new, happening lifestyle? Is he sponging off of Ray? Is he blowing his life savings on under##### and O'Reilly books? Is there a very special Bankruptcy Episode in our future?

Also, is Under##### Time where Ray got his thong? The world may never know.

You have to remember that Ray is a multi-billionaire (both from "Ass in your #####" as well as the oldest porno ever that he sold at auction), so I'm sure he takes good care of his li'l' buddy Roast Beef.

And of course they could have been paying him for the show, too.

I thought this was just making up for the one he missed last Friday.

Man, $9.00 bucks for a beer!  Yipes!  I can buy a case of Milwaukee's Best for less than that.

I got a gut feeling that this story arc ain't over yet.  Maybe Beef gets hit on while he's out on the town.  Maybe he lifted Ray's ATM card to get the jack to pay for his Beef time.  Maybe he won a lawsuit based on his mis-diagnosis as a female when he was a baby (kitten?).

For what it's worth, I have four kittens frolicking outside of my window.  They're like climbing up a tree lumberjack style, then one will dive bomb one of his siblings and they'll roll around for a while.  I'm gonna call one of 'em Little Nephew.  Hell, maybe I'll call ALL of 'em Little Nephew.

I'm thinking Beef's mad computer skills were used will during the tech boom. And Beef seems like he'd buy some CDs (the bank kind) and use a savings account rather than buying 42" plasma TVs and solid gold litter boxes so he probably has a decent nest egg.

[edit: Beef is still pretty angry after all that, judging by his eyebrows in the last panel.

Also, 8.25% tax? Damn. Is that normal in CA?]

Yeah, California and Texas have an 8 1/4% tax.  Ouch.

It's 7% in Philadelphia, which is pretty bad too.

Luckily, I live about ten minutes north of the Delaware border, where there's no sales tax and hooch is just hella-cheap (compared to the Pennsylvania State Store system anyway).

EDIT: I think Onstad messed up a little, though.  Surely there would be no tax on under##### even in California.

Good point there, bev.

However: also note that he had two Asahi by 9:32 a.m. And the 22 minutes thing is just between the time he settled out for his breakfast (maybe, maybe brunch) and when he paid at the bookstore.

That's one hell of a start to a "me day" - $1303.54 spent by ten in the morning.
