Is Teodor falling asleep or trying to pretend that Ray does not exist?

Lots of angry faces in this one.
And, as usual, Ray just not realising how other people are feeling.

As for Teodor, I think he is just kind of embarassed by the whole situation, but feels like he can't say anything, given that Ray is the one giving them the ride and all, though recall he doesn't actually want to be there to begin wtih.

Is it just me or is this like a little episode of The Office with anthropomorphic cats and alive stuffed animals? For someone who is always emphasizing his writing prowess over his artistic abilities, Onstad sure does do a lot with facial expressions in this one.

Wow, now there's a joke that died on the vine immediately. The angry faces are excellent, yeah -- and my best guess on Teodor is that he's feigning sleep to attempt to not bear any further responsibility for this atrocity.

Yeah, this is excellent. Teodor pretending to sleep, then accidentally opening his eyes and meeting Ray's, followed by quickly closing one eye again... I laughed rather loudly at this strip, which prompted my roommate to ask what was so funny. I showed him the strip. Not surprisingly, he didn't get it. Ah well. I try to spread the Achelove where I can.

Ray really sucks ass at telling jokes.

But he's not as bad as David Brent.

I love how the third and last panels are nearly identical.  Ctrl+C and then Ctrl+V.  Molly's sexy when she's pissed.

Happy Valentine's Day!  Mwah!  (It's supposed to be a kiss.)

Edit:  Yikes!  And I really suck ass at onomatopoeia!

Yes. David Brent if I ever saw it. And this is a perfect example (non-facetious) of how awesome this will be in print, with the timing.

New favorite detail about the strip: Ray talking about how he's "pretty open-minded once you get to know me" while in the car with three people who know him pretty well. (Even Molly rather has to at this point, and hell, he and Beef go way back.) Who is he trying to fool?

God, I love this comic, and the new format is doing a lot for me. Smaller panels with different shots really helps establish the mood here.

I'm waiting for Molly to just leap forward and stab Ray in the neck. It doesn't matter that she doesn't have a knife. She's so pissed one will just materialize in her hand formed of pure emotion.

doods i don't think teodore was looking asleep.  just doing whatever he can to hold it together and make it through the ray experience.   maybe praying that the next thing ray says won't be 100% retarded and heartless, but knowing that you're hoping against hope.  close your eyes and bear through it.  (grin and bear it?)

"grin and bear it" is a delightful pun.
Delightful.
