@achewood Irish Nachos are a charming take on the original, but I wonder what Uighur Nachos would be like. A mutton leg on a crisped pita?

I'm suprised no one has commented on the obvious skill required by Beef to run the cat down so exactly. That's some skill there.
He fights like he does everything else, with anal retentive exactitude.

Great comic, I think you guys have juts about covered it all. Well, except for the "pouf" sound effect when Beef's foot hits the grass. That's Bakersfield grass for you. Dry as the dickens. Just hell of poufs when you step on it.

I think one thing everyone missed is that Beef doesn't need a laptop to BREAK A MAN DOWN INTO HIS COMPONENT PIECES.

I think I'm gonna have to start calling Beef "The Scalpel", cause he cuts cats down; with exactitude!

*Had* to pop in to comment on Bozack's Beef/Rorschach association. Here it goes:

Oh shiiiiiiit!

Beef is basically one of those dudes who is quiet and unassuming at all times until one day a friend says "oh man, if only we could get to New York this weekend... seeing that concert would be *killer*" and then all of a sudden he'll be all "I've got a car, and a zip-lock full of grey-market trucker speed, there's a buddy of mine in Queens with a couple of couches and and an old favor I can call in.  If you need a change of clothes, we'll find a Goodwill on the way, let's go."

This arc is so intense I had to actually register an account here.

Ray will die.  Beef will win.  But more characters will be in as well.  Don't forget: Teodore and Ray's mom both know that Ray is trying this crazy stunt.  The GOF seems ideal for Lyle or Nice Pete.  Will Tod show up wielding a tiny steel scrotum?

I have to wonder what the rules are for bringing items into the fight.  We already know that sunglasses and a bottle of beer are kosher, what else can one bring into the acres?

also... to be nerdy:

Has anyone read Locke or Hobbes or studied social contract theory?  The G.O.F. is a perfect thought experiment for that kind of thing.

Man.. what is it with all the homoerotic Batman avatars lately?


I guess the real question is what is it with Batman and homoeroticism?

Anyone else think that this is going to end like one of Ray's dates and Nice Pete will win everything and/or otherwise have heavy involvement?

Beef knows brand building alright. You run a guy down and get off your bike and casually ask your sidecar passenger if he wants something from the concession stand, people are going to be more impressed than if you ran the guy down and started bellowing and bragging and yelling I BRING THE PAIN, SEE WHAT IS IN STORE FOR YOU so all nearby can hear you.

Exactly. You got to be cold and ruthless. Like you cripple other guys on your way to doing important shit all the time.

I think one thing everyone missed is that Beef doesn't need a laptop to BREAK A MAN DOWN INTO HIS COMPONENT PIECES.

Interestingly, M.quizzle has subconsciously identified the only flaw in this strip: Onstad should have written, "bust a man down into his component pieces," rather than, "bust a man down ON into his component pieces." That is just clunky and, in terms of my personal reading experience, threw off the timing of that particular line.

Other than that, this strip is like Onstad is just giving us all hugs, one after another. I once heard that it is impossible to please everyone, but with this arc Onstad is basically rewriting the basic laws of the Universe. This is goodness on a molecular level.
