Kind of touching, really.
Also: how does a stuffed bear get a tattoo? It seems to me it would need only to be silkscreened, not sewn.

Oh. This is not funny. This is awful. Poor Bear.
-
Oh my, we've never seen Cornelius so vulnerable... I thought nothing terrible could happen to him, that he would always just be there y'know.
I'm sorry... I need a moment.
-
Teodor is way too happy about this. I can only hope it is a joke.
-
Weird seeing Cornealius' spine... he's not a stuffed animal at all in this strip, is he.

This is just sad.
-
I was actually hoping that the title of this thread would be RATZ ZRAW. There, I said it.
-
This is a fabulous strip. I laughed, I cried...
-
The sad thing is, I know a lot of people who whom that would be the proudest moment of their lives. Waking up and realizing that they finally had the balls to get that Star Wars tattoo and mentally high-fiving their drunk self for days afterwards.
Enjoying the Star Wars films is fine, of course, I quite like some of them.
But... yeah, my reaction would be the same as The Bear's.

Oh good lord I have twice in my life nearly woken up with a tattoo. Certain people - vagrants mostly - think it's totally fine and hilarious to give someone a stick-and-poke tattoo to a totally passed out person. These tattoos are usually poorly written things like "cops suck," incorrectly drawn Black Flag or Crass logos or some retarded and misspelled inside joke.
Thankfully very good friends who weren't as sadly far gone as myself stopped the precedings.
Also: SoCo and lemonade, is that good?

What's the exact opposite of mentally high-fiving your drunken self? Because that's what I was doing the morning after my company's Holiday Party last week.

I do happen to know someone who willingly had the Star Wars logo tattooed on their back.
Very willingly. But then he does collect replica swords and owns a Boba Fett bust, or helmet, or whatever in a display case.

Does he have any other geeky tattoos? Does he want to be in Wired (http://slumbering.lunggiraffe.com/?p=516)?

Damn, I didn't think that such an Unfortunate Event would move a badly-hungover Connie to weeping like a small child whose dog just died.
I hope it's just a temporary for his sake.
-
Man, what if I did that. What if I woke up with a tattoo. I would probably get something pretty meaningless.
...or the K Records symbol. That is my fantasy tattoo, even though I do not listen to K Records bands that much. I just like the symbol. Also, an artist I admire had that tattoo, and I like that.
I will probably not get a tattoo though.
All I can think is, aren't they all scabbed over and shit the day after? Am I wrong about this?
-
I am against this strip on so many levels. With the accumulated tragedies that Mr. Bear has endured - the death of his wife decades ago, a stint in prison - this should end up being a pretty minor setback. Also, the idea that Connie could be taken to this level of drunken excess by the younguns' - meh.
I'm all bummed out now. Three people I never want to see cry - my dad, the quarterback of the Redskins, and Mr. Bear.
-
No way Golf, see through all that Cornelius still had his dignity but now it is gone and nothing can bring it back.
-

No, not really. Plus you keep them bandaged and moisturized with antibacterial cream for a few days.
-
Yeah, like... Terrible Things happen to everyone, basically.
Loss and failure, these are things that will just have to get you if you hang around the Earth long enough... C-Bear understands this and has rolled with many many punches.
But it is completely the opposite of Corny to be really into Star Wars. He probably liked Star Wars, mildly, when it was in the theatres but... he would've enjoyed it as a Saturday matinee diversion and nothing more.
It is not the opposite of everything he believes in to come face to face with grief and suffering.
But to suggest that he has made a science-fiction crowdpleaser film a cornerstone of his life...
That's an indignity he never counted on. And therein lies the difference.
