Lots of plot detail.  It'll take me a minute to sort it out.

Still Lovin' it...

While I think the remainder of the arc would have been a lot of fun with Envelope doing color, I love the manner that the plastic surgery gag was worked back in...

I was just waiting for someone else to start it, didn't want to blow my load all over the place.  Thank you paul!  A can for you.


Okay, so what I'm most intrigued by is the items on the board.  Is a Wringer something to do with onion rings?  And a Turkey what?   A TURKEY WHAT DAMN YOU?!

Stad also likes the SKRITCH a lot, I have seen that sound effect several times here.

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

So, Ray "ate part of [Envelope's] face."
"The other dude? ...nice guy. He's good people."

Interesting strategy, Mr. Roast Beef.

Anybody else guilty of refreshing way too often in suspense, by the way?

Yeah, I'm not sure why he's so intent on building advance word of mouth for The Man With Blood On His Hands Part II: This Time It's Personal when he's laying his own ass on the line too.

But there's no getting around the fact you'd have to be the baddest dude in the tri-state area to ride in a fuck*ng sidecar to the Great Outdoor Fight.

OH yes! I love this story more and more each day! I love the way Beef is operating. He's a smooth kind of guy and he knows how to play the pieces. Very slick indeed Mr. Beef.  So at this point it's obvious that Beef is taking control from the passenger seat. I'm guessing he's going to pump up Ray as he becomes the right hand man. I'm a little worried about Ray though. There is a high probability of him fuck*ng it up.

The clerk is also amazing. Pit stains (thanks mrchee), a mullet/skullet, aviators, he's perfect! And his expressions, he is damn worried about Ray. Gotta love it. Anyone else notice his arms are really short?

I love how the whole arc seems to be trapped in the 70's. Mustaches, hairdos, Aviators, sidecars, sideburns, I even think I saw that menuboard every single place when I was a kid.

Also digging on how snack guy mindlessly repeats Beef's phrase with the mnemonic aid of a two-buck tip.

*Straight from Cola to Whiskey.

*The expression of dawning realization

*Beef making "keep the change, you're good people" sound like a threat

*pitstains

Name four good parts of today's strip.

Well, his reasons for building Ray's reputation are pretty clear. He knows it will help Ray win the fight if people see him as a leader going in, and based on a combination of friendship and respect for the fight and Ray's lineage he has decided to help Ray win. What's less clear is why he's building a rep for himself as a nice guy ("good people"); how is that going to help the two of them in the fight? Perhaps someone on this board is really good at strategy (people will not even play chess with you anymore; you have never lost at Battleship) and can tell us what's what.

I like this strip!

Honorable mention has to go to the Ray using the phrase "hot dog chef" referring to the concession stand clerk...

Good cop bad cop.

The intent: Beef the Baptist, he is the gateway to get others to follow Ray.
The outcome:  People will ally with Ray out of fear, but once Ray is in a position to assume supremacy, people will go for Beef as an alternative.
