What's the point of a Wikipedia entry for a nude model without a photograph?

Also: Correct thread title. I would also have accepted "We all from decades, you know."

I was going to suggest that was the correct one, but I didn't want to be wrong. I'm going to try to use that today.

I think the thread title is a better thread title, but the other is a phrase that the world definitely needed.

I like how Ray is both delighted by the computer getting eaten and the dog being shot for doing so.

I think the long delays are hurting the continuity. First, Teodor's teeth marks were on a burger he never ate. Now Ray has no knowledge of this Known Breakfast Drink that is apparently legendary in its ability to wake him.

I'm sorry, you're all wrong. The correct thread title is "Fix-a-Flat for the hard charging man-about-town."

The dialog is old-school 'stad style in this strip, but I think what really took him forever was the sheer length of the strip. This is a week's worth of updates right here -- 21 panels in 6 rows! I would be thrilled with once-a-week updates if they were as meaty as this one.

"We all from decades" is indeed awesome. Also, the Clue-style "[hot chick] in the [room] with the [sensual object]" method of problem-solving.

How sad that a one strip a week schedule seems like an impossible dream at this point.

Not to be all No-Prizey but Ray is severely chemically-altered man of leisure which might lend itself to lost time/memories especially in a state of significant hangover.

Like a computer restarting in safe mode, without access to everything, because it understands Something Is Fucked.
