5/09/05 - the screams of melting schoolchildren
« on: May 08, 2005, 02:45:00 am »
Ok so it is a 100% party foul to be posting Monday's strip on Saturday, but it is definitely Onstad's fault.

Ray's expression in last panel = excellent.  I  can't believe Beef was able to wake up that kind of pity in the Cat of Obliviousness.

Sorry, I am so drunk right now.  But I wanted to be the first poster for at least one strip.

Apparently Beef recently watched Grave of the Fireflies. I'm a little depressed just having typed the title of that movie.

Killroy was there.

I wonder if that rant/vitriol someone posted in the previous thread inspired Onstad to make an early posting.

Well, if it did, I doubt Asherdan will find this strip any better than they've been.

Grave of the Fireflies doesn't really depress me because it's the kids' own damn fault they end up they way they do. They could have just gone back to their aunt and been slightly repressed but otherwise fine. As far as japanese movies dealing with The Bomb go, Godzilla is still the best.

Did you know that Achewood is literary.

I like all phrases that begin with "Do you think it is rad..."

I thought it was really funny, but only because I get such a kick out of Ray as Einstein.  Like it would have been as funny minus dialogue.  Plus his equations were great.

Grave of the Fireflies was hard to watch.  Maus really got me crying my eyes out, too.

I just like the contrast here between Ray's specious equations ("ma+h"), Ray's absolute conviction in his channelling Einstein, and Beef's uniquely Beef-like way of snapping him out of it. Rad.

At least it didn't bore me to fuck*ng tears and sour my whole day with spite. I can kinda grin at vaporized kiddies and imagine the little girls pigtails being the last thing to go up.

I'm a sucker for kilroy, too. I don't if it was intentional or not but in my world kilroy comes from the same WWII time frame as Nagasaki/Hiroshima and neatly links Rays doodling to Beefs later melting children statement which sets a nice theme for the whole thing and thus rates a pass for the strip from me.

YES, I LIKE TO MENTALLY MASTURBATE

this message approved by the new Asherdan who levens pure unadulterated hate with whacked out analysis.


I would recommend Fiber One or Trader Joe's high fiber cereal over more mainstream brands like All-Bran.

hee, the wig is still funny.
As is Ray's scientific disection of Einstein's post-life inability to hold a pen.
Rad is the word!
