Nice Pete?  Nightlife Mingus?

How did this situation arise? Hey Everybody, I've got an idea.  Let's all go over to Ray's (since he's not home) and play in his enormous dumbwaiter?

Strip.

Beef really needs to do drugs more often.

I am willing to bet that all of Beef's drug experiences are the result of hanging out with Ray. He probably got taken to some party where people were all doin' lines and Ray pressured him into it. Then Beef went home alone and coded while Ray hooked up with a lady so high she thought he was Sean Connery.

Also, if the police do find them they can just claim Nice Pete forced them to break in. They'll believe it. He did escape from prison and all.

I did coke once with a dude off the sink of a Greyhound bus.  It just goes to show you how you'll do anything to ease the suffering of being on a Greyhound bus.

I would think that coke would just make the Greyhound experience more intense and painful. All locked up with stinky strangers. No where to go.

Nice hair, Teodor.

Teodor's hair is astonishingly good in this strip, yeah -- and he's wearing his semi-sacred T sweater. Just how big of a party were they having?

Also, I'm a little surprised that Nightlife is still invited to these things, given his culpability in Beef's last death. I guess his ability to make life awesome means he's still getting invited.

The dumbwaiter should have shot into the basement. What's next? a symphonic orchestra? This is more like a clown car than a dumbwaiter.

Mr. Bear is sitting in Semi-darkness, yet Beef and whoever kept yelling 'kill the light' were sitting in pitch darkness. Maybe enough time has passed that the sun came up?

I'm bitching about a free comic strip.

I need help.

The dumbwaiter is filled with stuffed animals and a few cats.

How heavy could they be?

And another thing... Why can't the cops hear all this chitter chatter?  I'm seeing Nice Pete led off to the squad car in his wifebeater on COPS.

In my mind, heavy enough to bring down an absurdy large imaginary dumbwaiter in the ancestral mansion of a talking cat who wears a thong and owns heavily protected entertainment hardware.

Naturally.

Remember, this is a diary strip -- we're illustrating Mr. Bear's thoughts, perceptions, and memories, not necessarily how things actually happened/were happening. Therefore, Mr. Bear and those speaking probably weren't actually lighted, but they're illuminated here for cinematic reasons (read: it looks and plays better).

Why am I thinking about this?

Well, the last time I filled our dumbwaiter with cats and stuffed animals and then weighed it the total was-

I've said too much.

I hadn't done coke before so I wasn't sure what to expect.  Actually it was horrible.  I was on my way home from college for winter break. I'd just met the dude who had the coke and didn't realize he'd just swilled a whole bottle of Wild Turkey.  After we snorted the coke he passed out in the bathroom after I left.  I'm freaking out like he's dead in there while a blind guy and then a mother with her kid can't get into the bathroom.  Six hours later he came out totally straight.  Say no to coke kids!

I think they have adjusted to the light. Look at Beef's dilated eyes.

And the dumbwaiter doesn't seem THAT big. Like Jough said, these are cats and stuffed animals.

They could have been talking while the flashlight was on, too.
