Title: ARE YOU THE THING THAT CRAPPED BY THE GAS STATION July 28th
Post by: TALKYdude on July 28, 2004, 07:02:03 pm: Oh my God this is the funniest one in ages! Cats making fun of dogs. I love you 'Stad. I'm a dog person but I like cats just fine.

Post by: TALKYdude on July 28, 2004, 07:02:33 pm: I'm a lot more reassured about the Molly and Beef relationship now.

Post by: V-Adore on July 28, 2004, 09:41:31 pm: This is a good strip; for those worried about Molly and Beef, we clearly have a return to a happier relationship model here.

Also, this seems to reinforce the strange place that dogs have in the Underground -- they're obviously not anthropomorphic, as seen here, in Pat's blog, and in other places. The only example we've ever seen of a talking dog is Scrambles, and aside from an elliptical reference to Ray winning money at poker from "that dog in a retarded sweater," (http://www.achewood.com/index.php?date=01112002) we see no other reference to dogs having civilization or interacting in the Underground.

Maybe this is just Onstad's way of making it clear that nobody in the cast is a dog?

Thus his stuffed animalness elevated him above regular dogs (http://www.achewood.com/raysplace.php?date=05112004&allnav=). Hence his command of english as opposed to the regular dog yelling language.

I suffer a sudden, chilling desire and extreme longing for a new Ray's Place.
