Hee, Ray punching himself is awesome.

The last sequence of panels played out with that piece of music from 'The Piano'. Hella serious.

I would like this a lot more without the obviously jokey alt-text, but ah well. It's nice to see Onstad working primarily with darkness again -- this strip is just a joy to look at, even if it's also painful to read (in a good way).

I, too, enjoy these comics immensely. I wonder if jumping the bridge and floating down the river is something Beef does a lot... maybe it's his therapy, like Phillipe splashing the water in the toilet.

Damn, that really is Circumstances.

Is this where young Beef goes to think or is he doing a 'just going to drift down the river and away from all this forever' kind of thing.

I think Ray reacts about as appropriately as one can in that situation, I think just randomly panicing and trying to do anything to distract the person is about right.

EDIT: Golfhaus, I always saw the Phillipe toilet therapy as more an obssessive compulsive thing, not a calming activity, interesting take.

Also, I have doubted Rays friendship and motives sometimes but doubt I'll make that mistake anymore.[/size]


I am a bit surprised at this.  I have never doubted Ray's friendship.  He may be an oblivious moron at times, but he really cares about his people.

I enjoy that panel because Ray's tail is visible. We too rarely see the cats' tails.

Doubtful. He's afraid of creeks.
