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.

I'm a lot more reassured about the Molly and Beef relationship now.

Beef has attained the perfect "I don't know" pose in panel 4. And I know he's yelling but seeing Beef talk with caps still looks weird.

This is a great one.  It's also wonderful to see Molly and Beef laughing and cutting up in bed.  Very romantic in a goofy kinda way.

This was one of the funnier bits in a while. It had to be tough not to draw Ray #####ing the Ken doll, but restraint from the crossover is only a good thing.

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," 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?

I suggest that Scrambes was actually a stuffed dog. Thus his stuffed animalness elevated him above regular dogs. 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.

I just noticed that Molly's telling all the jokes and Beef is kind of the straight man. I like a funny woman.
