Title: It ain't even a real LLLLLIMO! (19 Feb 2004)
Post by: jay-ell on February 20, 2004, 07:16:47 am: Woot! First post!

This one, I don't know. Beef seems uncharactaristically mean here. I mean, why not help a brotha out, 'stead a' leavin' him to watch Spongebob in his under-drawer? It's Sex Limo, after all.

Sex Limo sounds like what you get when you cross Strong Bad with Billy Idol.

Post by: jough on February 20, 2004, 07:20:07 am: The top half is Thursday's Strip and the bottom half is Friday's.

Since Monday was a re-run, that's only three strips this week.

IS ONSTAD PREPARING FOR THE SUMMER OLYMPIC U.S. DRINKING TEAM AGAIN?

Post by: V-Adore on February 20, 2004, 08:05:56 am: I can understand Beef getting irritated -- it's Sex Limo, for god's sake, and it starts in six minutes!

Also, the thought that this is all okay because it's just a Sex Towncar instead of a Sex Limmo makes me strangely happy. It's perfect Ray logic.

Post by: beetle on February 20, 2004, 10:14:11 am: I'm having a hard time figuring the last panel out. Is ray muttering to himself, trying to figure the show out? Or is he conversing with the theme song? His posture makes him look like he's thinking hard.

And that his parental controls are still stuck on TV-G

I'm thinking, Ray looks so pensive, paw to chin. And he says it so matter-of-fact. "That is Spongebob's house".
I think Ray knows Spongebob. Maybe he'll tell a story about Spongebob!

A Sex Limmo is always better than a Sex Towncar.

I disagree. It was kind of ambiguous before and now it's pretty clear that he's drunk but jovial. Before he seemed a little angry.

Post by: Nabubrush on February 21, 2004, 02:57:53 am: I think I liked the other one better - I liked the idea of Ray really thinking about SBob, as opposed to just being hammered. Although the new one is pretty funny, too.

I am shocked - shocked! - that the Bob is here.

Beef is acting mean because Ray shamed him into burying his new shirt in the yard.

Post by: V-Adore on February 21, 2004, 05:05:10 am: Yeah, I much prefer the original panel. It was a much subtler, more interesting gag -- and I liked the image of Ray just sitting there, grooving on the fact that the pineapple was SpongeBob's house.

(A drunk friend of mine almost got killed for singing the SpongeBob theme loudly in traffic. I have always associated it with amiable drunks.)

HE'S GOT A GUT, MAN.

Post by: G3K on February 21, 2004, 07:25:54 am: That's nothing. I had a COTA bus (public transportation in Columbus, medium-shit) driver who sang the entire thing to me one morning. It was surreal.

Post by: clintd on February 21, 2004, 03:12:53 pm: OH GOD SO MANY CHANGES
WHY DO YOU CHANGE YET AGAIN A THIRD TIME.
at least its better than the second.
but due to my lack of any form of memory, i dont know if its the same as the first?
oh god.
Title: It ain't even a real LLLLLIMO! (19 Feb 2004)
Post by: V-Adore on February 21, 2004, 07:14:54 pm: It appears to be a variation on the first -- sort of a mid-way point between the two. Not quite as good as the first, though.

Post by: G3K on February 21, 2004, 07:22:18 pm: Does he read this board, or is he just really that insecure? à la Beef?
Title: It ain't even a real LLLLLIMO! (19 Feb 2004)
Post by: jough on February 21, 2004, 07:53:08 pm: Probably a bit of both.

The first one was great - very matter-of-fact Ray. "That is Spongebob's Home".

I liked the second version where he was singing the song along (like every child does) "SPONGE BOB SQUARE #####"

The third one is kinda melancholy - which may have been what the 'stad had been going for all along.

So whatever.

Post by: Flenker on February 21, 2004, 08:13:50 pm: what did the second one say??? I missed it, but I really liked the first one.

Post by: jay-ell on February 21, 2004, 08:21:38 pm: I may be in the minority here, but I like the third ending best. Really, it's the best of both worlds.

Post by: wombat on February 22, 2004, 01:07:01 am: OK, fess up - which of us made the suicide threats to get the first version restored?
Title: It ain't even a real LLLLLIMO! (19 Feb 2004)
Post by: jough on February 22, 2004, 01:36:43 am: Eh, he's just fuck*ng around, now.

And I believe this is #4, not #1, as the first I think said "That pineapple is Sponge Bob's House" - but I could be wrong.

Anyway, it's the best so far.

And why shouldn't he change it if he's not happy with it? It'll be in the archives/books for posterity, but in our memories only for a weekend.

THANK YOU.

Title: It ain't even a real LLLLLIMO! (19 Feb 2004)
Post by: Choop on February 22, 2004, 06:50:40 am: This is the same exact line as the original ending; however, the original had Ray's right paw to his chin, in a contemplative manner.

I hope this settles any further continuity issues.
Title: It ain't even a real LLLLLIMO! (19 Feb 2004)
Post by: slink on February 22, 2004, 07:24:13 am: I quite liked the contemplative mood of the original ending.
The second was just lame!
This one i'm happy with, but it's partially the sight of Ray with Martini's (probably).

Post by: V-Adore on February 22, 2004, 05:57:06 pm: Oh, come on! Ray is clearly not wishing rage on Spongebob. Clearly he is in contemplation of his zen -- that, yes, the pineapple is Spongebob's house.
Title: It ain't even a real LLLLLIMO! (19 Feb 2004)
Post by: sailor on February 22, 2004, 08:03:03 pm: sorry, kids, but "Spongebob does" was the best ending, because it shows Ray's terrible drunken ennui.
Ray is drunk and sad, and is watching spongebob when he is drunk and sad, just like many of us have watched maybe what, Stargate SG-1 late at nite after getting home from being alone at the bar.

and that's what makes it funny!

As a courtesy to the actual artist, I would consider taking Onstad's name off the ripoff of his work. Just a thought.
