Enough with the cat crothes already. And this time there was bunching and shaking that I just didn't need to see. I don't think Showbiz ever moved his right hand.

This comic is all right, it gave me a smile, but I have basically gotten the point that Showbiz is capable of producing gestures that are amusing. He fake-shoots, he cocks his fake-gun and fake-shoots, he snaps his fingers dejectedly, he does...the thing he is doing in this comic. I would not mind if we went to a different storyline for a week or so and then came back to this and then he can give a peace sign or learn sign language from Liebot. I will be ready for more gestures by then.

Yeah cat crotches aren't the best sight, but still that forth panel made me laugh hard. You just have to ask the question why is he doing this? What would posses showbiz to grab his junk and shake it? I think it makes it all the more funny.

Before Roastbeef mentioned the gum I thought Showbiz was doing a Marlon Brando impression with his face. An older Marlon Brando mind you. I think the cheeks did it.

Now when I smell something bad, I will think about what it smells like to ride the bus and wonder if riding the bus smells better, worse, or about the same as whatever I'm smelling.

I was in Manhattan last weekend and the whole of Midtown smells like hot dog carts and the steam that leaks from the ConEd manholes.  I bet riding the bus in Manhattan smells even worse than that, because it's not like the MTA has their buses all sealed up (thank god) so some of that urban aroma has got to waft its way up in there.

Cleveland also smells bad, but I think we've discussed that already.

The story is losing me here...  Like I thought I got it how Showbiz is a kind of person who comes from Circumstances and I thought that it was the saddest thing that he couldn't tell time.  But would even a dude of this nature greet his brother's girlfriend in this way?

If the funny appeared in this strip I don't know where it was. It totally walked right past me with a fake mustache on and I missed it.

That said, anytime you can relate something to the smell on a bus, you have done well.

New insult inspired from todays strip: You smell like you took the bus.

I saw it as he just happened to be doing that as they walked in. I don't know that he did it because of Molly. Like he shoots his finger thing and holds it for 5 frames. He grabed his crotch and shook it and they walked in and he forgot he was doing it.

I'd bet that the gum will be the catalyst for Beef to let loose.

Microanalysis ahead:

So, Molly starts out on Beef's right in frame 6, and then schooched behind him by frame 8? She doesn't quite have that look of disgusted horror that I'd expect, in any case, or maybe she's just trying to be polite.

I know this dude (Showbiz).  In my world he's known as Albert.

Except the alt-text makes it seem like it was especially for Molly.

How is it that Roast Beef knows Showbiz ate the entire pack of gum? I can see that he has a lot of gum in his mouth, but can Beef really tell that it's not, say, the entire pack except for one piece that was carefully saved? What I'm trying to say is that panels 5 and 6 didn't seem to fit together very smoothly.
