Ray is spending most of his time planning strategy with Beef and about 30 people have joined his team.

All I can tell is that Black Flag-loving Leander found some like-minded friends to boost the punk demographic. I think.

So, Téodor doesn't know Beef is also in the fight? Or is he jealous of Beef being referred to as "best mate"? I can't tell if he's angry or confused in the last panel.

Téodor's got quite a tasty double flat screen setup going on.

still no luck googling for Gasps and Giggles

I think it's getting to the point where I should refresh my memory and reread the whole arc from the beginning.

"Is Téodor about to find a bunch of pillows artfully arranged beneath Beef's bedspread?"

Right. Remember, Ray didn't find out until right when they were getting there.

I thought the strip served it's purpose, answers a couple questions, shows a peak at meanwhile, on the outside and continues to advance the story line.

Teodor's response here almost seems out of character for him.  The "He Took Sipes?" line specificallly.  It doesn't feel like Teodor, but then maybe I am overanalyzing a cartoon about talking stuffed animals, in which case I am glad I'm doing it in the right place.

Will Gasps and Giggles make it as its own blog?



Aw man, I think I have mosquito bites.  Shouldn't they be dead?

How come Barry King's nom de plume is Barry Best (not much of a departure, you know)? Also, his blog reads like the Wernham Hogg News Bulletin, written and edited by David Brent:

For those of you who remember Pete Gibbons, congrats are in order.  His lovely wife Jan is pregnant again!  If the baby is anything like it's dad, it'll probably be late!
This week's competition is - guess who the father is! Ha ha, only joking Pete.

For those of you who don't remember Gibbo, he was with us from 1989 to 2000, but took voluntary redundancy to deal with troubles in his marriage.  Let's hope this baby brings them closer together.

It's possible I'm just lumping together anything even vaguely British, because his blog even reminded me of an early Benjamin Disraeli novel.

Onstad one-ups us:  Rather than TV from inside the fight or blogging from outside the fight, blogging from inside the fight.  This is why he is the Artiste and we are just the adoring masses.

It's possible neither are his real name; King is his name for the GOF, Best is for the blog. He probably just likes the name Barry. Weirdo.
Do you think all these guys are running under fake names? Or maybe just the big guys?

"He took Sipes" seems OK for Teodor to say. I think people talk differently - more manly, perhaps - when thinking about the fight. So Teodor is bucking it up a bit?
I feel like the next comic will be the dawning realization of, "Wait ... where's Beef? ::dramatic pause::"

"Ray wouldn't roll with guys like that" confused me. Doesn't Teodor realize that in the GOF, you don't really get to PICK the guys you roll with? It just happens and if you're rolling with anybody, you're lucky.

My gut feeling is that there are three ranks of fighters at the GOF:
1) Little-to-middling guys with outrageously over-the-top fake names (like The Latino Health Crisis);
2) Little-to-middling guys who already come supplied with freaky names and thus use their real one (like Leander); and
3) Big guys with relatively sedate and formulaic fake names (like Perfect Ron Sipes).

This implies that Barry King is either a bigger fighter than we've led to believe (or canny enough to take a name in the style of a bigger fighter) or using his real name, which is possible.

Out of curiosity, has Beef's nom de fight been revealed yet?

Well, Beef is setting this up of course.
