I'm totally picturing a repeat of this incident, but with Beef instead.

Aside from the subject title and Beef's worry that he might get his ass beat down, I didn't really think that today's was that funny.

It's a scene-setter.

I'm just pleased that "Strip returns Thursday" didn't actually play out. Unless this means no strip tomorrow.

Are you kidding me.

- Roast Beef talking in a fake accent

- Continually breaking into his own act with commentary

- Ray's somewhat hurried-sounding dismissals

Basically panels 4-6 are chuckleworthy all on their own

Unfortunately, there are other panels that follow and preceed.

Normally it's all about the eyebrows. And while I'm not denying the awesomeness of Beef's eyebrows in his accent panels today it's also about Ray's outfit.

For me it is all about Ray's headphones being nowhere near his ears. And "Maybe ju an' me are amigos!". And "I don't have time to debate what makes a friendship meaningful".

Muy Muy bueno.

I have not much to say about this strip, except I am wondering why Beef thinks the tagline implies that Latinos will think he's making fun of them via meaningless friendship conduits?  I would be more worried about just offending them with the REeeeedeeeculos accent!

But I suppose this is a cat who imagines titty-buxx falling on him and thus it is his triumph and it is his tragedy.

Also, doesn't Ray look like every studio record producer in such as a movie or tv show that you have ever gazed upon and had it gaze back and then maybe a guy in a sports car learns something of the value of life.

Woah.. I went all.. tangential.

I just like the tiny pig that's inexplicably on the Jaime the Science Friend set. I mean, what?

Well clearly that is the Science pig, he is used for most excellent science....

either that or it's the bank, in which RBK has hidden various dirty pennies....

sorry folks, just thinking out loud here.

I'm banking (ha!) on the latter.

It's good to see that Yo Reado Dos Math Books! is finally (sort of, not really) paying off for Beef. I really like the dialogue in this one, and the fake moustache certainly is...moustachudinous?

Boy, when Beef wears a mustache you can really see the resemblance between him and Showbiz.

this is the best strip ever since the last best strip ever and sure to reign supremely until the next best strip ever.

i can't think of a single thing i don't like about this strip, and i'm the person who says "yes, it is a pretty day, but it's days like this you get hit by a meteor.".

I would like to think that Ray wrote the script, completely neglecting Beef's science-saying skills.

"I get this penny and it was muy brown!"

Must be Ray.
