Considering Beef's mood I thought he'd go for Kafka.

I used to have a T-shirt with Kafka's face on it.

Quote from: "pierced lemur"
So what's with "What it is"?


I think shouting "what it is" is a California thing.  My friends and I used to greet each other with the salutation "what it is, dog" frequently.  Phone call.  "What it is?"  Buzzer into the apartment.  "What it is!"  At the bar. "What it is" accompanied by hand slap/grip combo.

If I may echo the usual bleating of a few of you sycophants, but I find the humor in this strip to be quite refreshing.   Shines through.  I love this stuff.  Starts with "what it is" and ends with ol' depresso having a freaking Aibo reading him Dickens.   I mean, come on.   There's awesome in this strip.

"What it is" is more of a 70's black sitcom/blacksploitation thing. Often accompanied by its good friend, "jive turkey."

The full greeting was "What is is!" followed by the response "What is was!"
and then the 4 part handshake accompanied by a unison "And what is SHALL BE, brother"!

Picture John Kerry sharing this greeting with Barack Obama in the vein of that odd exchange the two shared during the campaign...kind of a funny and pathetic picture.

I picked up "What it is" from the movie "Hollywood Shuffle."  "What it is, bro.  I ain't afraid a' you.  What is up with you and your cool vibes."
