It is difficult to sneak 70 bucks with very little noise unless the wallet is lying open on the table and the bills aren't very crisp.

I'm kind of surprised that Showbiz would use soap.

Hey, soap is a rare thing to come across. When the opportunity arises to seize that mutha.

$13?! It's amazing the things that some people would rather have than money.

The note is almost haha, but it's more like ha ... ha? I don't like Molly at all here. Oooh, a hair. Whatever!

And the ALT text totally splits an infinitive!

Yeah, I think we've established in numerous threads that Molly is a fuck*ng bee-yotch.

Every page of the Rockford Fosgate catalogue dog-eared is lovely, though.

Would you use a bar of soap after Showbiz used it?

I like the image of a fully dog-eared catalogue as well. And I like how the note is written in all caps for no reason. But is Molly really a "bee-yotch" for not wanting some dude who has clearly been living as a homeless man (in both English- and Spanish-speaking countries?) to rub her bar of soap all over his body? Personally, I am a man who is not anal about germs and also who tries to give to charity and be kind to everyone. But if a homeless man rubbed my soap on his body; I would not use this soap anymore.

I have this thing about hairs on soaps. Erggghh. And her first image of the dude was him grabbing his testicles. I can see where she's coming from.
Dog-earing every page in the catalogue is hilarious, as is "sometimes he spells it with the L and no U but yeah generally."

Answering the question way more specifically than the asker actually wanted is classic Beef.

Hmm. Isn't soap inherently clean? A hair from a man (or a cat) wouldn't perturb me, no ma'am.

A friend of mine once tried to drag me into an Aveda so I could help him find the $20 shampoo he was looking for, but I figured I was just a few shades too dark to be welcomed inside there. Also, no one needs $20 shampoo. Aveda is ridiculous.

It's good that Onstad is ending this storyline. Showbiz's antics were pretty funny for a while, but yesterday's strip kind of indicated that he had run out of things for the cat to do.

That's right, get with it! Out of all things used by Showbiz, soap is pretty OK.

as to hairs on soap.
There are some things which, although they may be fine when thought about logically, are simply too much for the human (or feline) psyche to bear. Even if soap is theoretically the most clean thing, hair is dirty. especially other people's hair.

Also: the way soap works is the most gross. If you can get past the inherent grossness of soap, you should probably be able to get past any hair.

Personally, reading this, I assumed that she was attempting to imply that the hair was a pubic hair. But I suppose cats don't have these? When someone else's hair is on my soap, it always seems to be of the pubic variety.

What shade is too dark for the Aveda store?

I would like Beef's stationery for myself.

Just run the soap under water for a few seconds, and the part that a person had on their body is down the drain.  Life continues.

At least it wasn't a relatively large amount of skin.  A sheet of skin would make me throw the soap away.
