"STRIP CLUBS, BUT FOR DUMMIES"

Forget the fallingness of the sky around here. As long as each strip has at least one such chuckle I'll be grateful for whatever he chooses to surround it with.

Onstad's use of "permanently" over the years has always tickled me raw. "An old man who is permanently vomiting," "men in white lab coats had been paid to make sure that he permanently liked this food." And now "permanently driving a 1973 Honda Civic between Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores." Definitely not the only one of his -isms that has found its way into my idiolect.

It makes sense. Some of those original strips were neat, but not in a way that held at all a candle to the rest of the first few years.

I totally did not get until now that Ray was stoned. I thought that the things under his eyes were because he was sad about the culture we live in, which is letigious, reactionary, and fearmongering. I... guess I was projecting my own beliefs onto him.

There're more lines, but I'm pretty sure that's how Onstad draws Ray stoned. It's debatable though. Also, does anyone have any concrete ideas about what's going on in panel 7? I really can't damn tell.
