Man, Ray must be dumber than I'd given him credit for. He's stoking the rage of an Asswhuppin' Machine, and he's cool as can be. I know he's supposed to look that way for the troops, but not even a stray bead of sweat or a misshapen eyebrow. Unless the plan is for Beef to fade back and hit the nerve center with a peashooter or something.

The Latino Health Crisis. Maybe he is the health crisis who is a Latino?

Well Rome did import the Greek deities and rename them using Latin.  I'm not entirely sure where the health crisis lies in there though.  Possibly an issue with Hermes/Mercury? 


Or maybe with Asclepius/Esculapius, the God of Healing. If he had an arch-nemesis it would probably be called Latino Health Crisis. But it was ol' Zeus himself who killed him with a thunderbolt, probably because he didn't like Asclepius walking around curing diseases, bringing the dead back to life, all that subversive stuff.

But we don't have to go all the way back to small classical times: It's happening right on your doorstep.

I kind of assumed from looking at him that the dude is simply crawling with STDs. Well, that, and like, high cholesterol.

Hmm.  Has anyone noticed a number of allusions to Ancient Greece in the --- just kidding.  I can't find any allusions to Ancient Greece in the name Latino Health Crisis.

But what are your feelings on Nate Small?

Obviously, a subversive retelling of Paradise Lost.  Jeez.

so Leander is Beef's cousin maybe?  i mean he's got a black flag tattoo that would go well with beef's old DK shirt.
Leander doesn't look totally maniacal or bloodthirsty to me, he looks like he's at the fight b/c of the crowd he hangs out with, but not especially happy to be there if it was up to him.  lea looks uncomfortable, plus he's got depression.
