I don't mind when people discuss revolting matters with me, but I don't understand their mindset in doing it.

Beef's reaction is entirely proper.

And so is Ray's.

Isn't it usually proper to not title the thread with the alt-text? Can we call it "wet pile of pink marshmallows" instead?

Ray on the computer usually equals dialogue that doesn't make a whole lot of sense

omgggggggggggg In this strip, Ray was probably the Ray-i-est of all time.  I liked it alot.

Except I don't like that panel where Beef is rolling his eyes.

But then again, I just remembered.

Man, nevermind.

Posting here since this was posted first.  Some people should check before double posting I suspect. 

And alt text is fine for a title, even if wet pile of pink marshmallows is good imagery.

I found this one to be exactly in Ray and Beef's particular idiom so to speak, but strangely don't have much to say about it other than that.  So I guess that's good that they are how I would expect them?  I do not know.

So it's satire, is it?  Well that changes everything!

I have a guy at work who likes visiting all these "funny video" web sites. He used to send links around to such clips as "Car Sliding Backwards Downhill Thanks To Faulty Brakes" and "Four Black Men Wailing On An Asian". It's not like I started actively disliking the guy just on the basis of videos, but these things pile up.

This is the correct thread title.  Even though I never read the Da Vinci code, so I don't know if it makes any particular sense.

That is all kinds of sinister, yeah, as is the "something's happening here" of the last panel. Beef's silent reactions and eventual departure are the best, though. He knows full well that Ray won't take no for an answer, so why bother?

(You know Ray is one of those guys who says things like "hey, I think this milk went bad! Taste it for me, would you?")

I see what you are saying V-Adizzle but I'm not sure the milk analogy really works, on account of Ray genuinely thinks this picture is cool. No one thinks bad milk is cool. He likes/is intrigued by this picture and wants his friend to share the experience of viewing, to the point that he even offers to just describe it (we all know he is too clueless to realize that Beef just doesn't care; he just thinks Beef is too busy to come see, and so wants to do him a favor). What I'm saying is that this strip is about friendship. I like looking at friendship, in a comic!

Yes, this sort of thing happens all too often in my house. I like how Beef is just sitting there reading a book. He's not sharing his book with anyone.

I think the "something's happening here" is Ray realizing he's having a sudden surge of inspiration. There are times when you just can't control the flow of creativity, you know, unless you are wearing one of those crude, embarrassing undergarments.
