Pretty good, mostly thanks to the alt-text.  I do like the hat though.

I really liked this one. Lots more good stuff flying, and something about the feel of the conversation I really liked.
I only didn't start a thread for this 'cause I couldn't decide what I was going to call it.

He is right though. I've know two different IT guys at two different companies I temped for who would wear hats like that and trench coats &c to try and look suave in a 40's kind of way. It didn't work.

It doesn't work without a three piece pin striped suit; and sleeve garters, wether anyone sees them or not.

That's madness. Ray is not convincing Téodor with the Bogart reference, so he goes to Dan Rather? I am liking how Ray's eyebrow is up the whole time, still working it, and Téodor's got that squint going, like he's really considering if the look works, instead of just dismissing Ray out of hand. And then Ray just folds.

Yeah, the Dan Rather thing threw me for a loop. Does Ray actually think Dan Rather is cool? If so, why?

Because Dan Rather fits all Ray's criteria for cool:

* Probably rides around in a limo
* Is on TV
* Is rich
* Is powerful

I would have thought if any Achewood character would be a fan of Dan Rather, it would be Lie-Bot.

Well, you would know. I always am surprised by that aspect of Ray, because he comes off as pretty blasé to me, or maybe jaded. It's fun when he can be that into something. My real feeling of dissociation (or whatever it would be) was that he went from Bogart to Rather. If Bogart isn't making it, just lose the hat. But Bogart must be pretty distant for him.

Also, let me point out that I very much enjoyed today's strip.

And I know it is just a cartoon cat.

I used to have a hat like that. I'm closer to a SysAdmin than to Bogart as well. Nice strip.

And not to question the free market, but who the @#$% pays $350 for a 5x7 painting of an ALIVE STUFFED ANIMAL?

I wish I had this kind of discretionary income, but I suspect my wife would have a little problem with it. If it was 5' x 7', however, I'd say consequence be damned!
