"Artists need to make money to eat and to continue to make art. Artists used to rely on middlemen to collect their money on their behalf, thereby rendering themselves innocent of cash-handling in the public eye. Artists will now be coming straight to you (yes YOU, you who want their music, their films, their books) for their paychecks. Please welcome them. Please help them. Please do not make them feel badly about asking you directly for money.” -Amanda Palmer

Ms. Smuckles has little vibration lines around her now, the same as all the people that have been talking to her for the last three strips.

The tiny picture of the super-macho cats with their steroidific torsos, adorable little ears, and extremely phallic tail(s) is one of the most awesome things I've ever seen.

Similarly, the idea of 3,000 tomcats in a big ol' field, just tearing into each other, is one of the most awesome things I've ever seen in my head.

Or maybe he'll get in he fight, and will face an opponent who turns out to be his father, and things will get real Freudian.


Someone else needs to figure out how make an elaborate and amusing joke about Darth Smuckles here.  I can't, I'm too tired to think and there's too much to do at work.  My life is interfering with my being clever on the Internet, dammit.

I'm hoping that Ray enters the fight, and he ends up facing off against the only cat low and mean enough to best his father.

That cat?  Mrs. Smuckles.  All camo face paint, all "Soldier of Fortune" tattoed across her back.


Aside:  I liked how Ray was able to sneak "bad-ass" into conversation without his mother reprimanding him.  Maybe it was because, truthfully, his father was a bad-ass.

Man, the tiny-macho-tomcat art is by far the best part of this strip. It looks disturbingly like some of the stuff from the COCKRUB WARRIORS FROM MARS page, truth be told.

I am extremely hopeful that this arc will bring out Ray's secret killer instinct. All reaving through men, all yelling hell of battle cries, all soaking his International Male caftan (gift from C.P.) with the blood of his foes, all hearing the lamentations of their women... rad.

We kind of had previous hints that Ray might have more physical skills than you'd expect from a dude of gravity.

I know how it ends.  Now someone needs to fill out the middle and beginning stuff.

Ray cannot fight. I can't think of a strip where Ray was a coward, but he's accustomed lifestyle that does not include putting your dukes up. He's too lucky in other areas to be a talented gladiator. What I can see is some funky suit of armor or something... or Ray just managing to avoid harm long enough to see the end. But if Ray can take out those lumberjack cats with claw and fist, I will eat so many words that I will explode.

Ray cannot fight.

But Ray wants to fight.  You can't deny that he is a cat that gets the job done.

I hope he wins.

Ray will get his ass handed to him. Then he'll find a promising fighter and pay for his training throughout the year who will go back next year and win the whole thing for Ray.

Ray will then be sued by "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase for stealing his gimmick.

I didn't read this until late last night.  My next action was to visit greatoutdoorfight.com, and I was disappointed to see it hadn't been done up yet.

the aeneid is about the great outdoor fight? Or, at least, something which references Aeneas. I am too lazy to start translating (especially when I'm avoiding doing my actual latin homework. which is: translation of some lines from the aeneid).

Some of the sentences seem far too short to be vergil's work. hmm.
