1 March 2006 - Bob Raffles was bascially the worst announcer ever

Another great strip. The feast turns out to be a tactical option. Ray goes the road less traveled, but unknowingly the one traveled by his father. Rodney proposed to (I'm assuming) Mrs. Smuckles immediately after the fight. And apparently Beef has been planning for this since he was 13.

Beef has been planning for this since he could understand the concept of the GOF (about 4 and 2 months), it just took him till 13 to get the resources together to plan properly. He formulated earlier plans but they were full of youthful naievete that fell away as he learned about the reality that is the Fight.
Damn though I really like this part of the backstory. We knew this was a big deal for Beef but it may be the biggest deal. This may be his lifelong dream coalescing around him. Which kind of makes me worry about the outcome since we know how his dreams come true generally turn out.

Yeah, looks like Ray is channeling Rodney (or something like that) pretty heavily again. Check out panel 3 - since when does Ray talk to Beef like that?

Those winning fighters' names kick all sorts of ass. Paul Judas? And some duder's name was MOTOR CITY MASSACRE!? Or maybe that's the title of that year's fight, where no one survived

The larger cat just wants the turkey.
part of the reason he wanted to be an army leader was so that he could eat the turkey and drink the brandy.
he is just justifying, you know.

he doesn't care if he knows one sentence of information. it is in his blood to be a greedy bastard who takes all the turkey.

Did anyone else's heart break just a little for Beef here?  Just me?  Okay then.


I don't think Ray even realizes what he's got in a friend like Beef, I don't know if he ever has.  If I am assuming things correctly and Beef is remembering this post Ray conversing then it's good to see him be human (feline) again for a bit, instead of STOOOONE COLD Rorschach.

I suspect a hot dog cheeser is one of those cheese filled hot dogs you can basically get at the store on the cheap.

Ray looks kinda like Yogi Bear in panel five. Amusing, since he's about to snag a picanic basket sized for 1500 cats at least.

My question is, is Ray's smartassed remark to Beef, who has kept Ray alive over the first day, part of Ray's transformation into cold blooded killer or just Ray's attempt to keep up his hardass image? You'd think that he wouldn't have to talk like that when it's just he and Beef, especially after he freaked out about going on a fugue after he ripped Travis' jaw off.

(I still think Beef comes through in the end and wins. It's time Beef had some glory for himself. He has been planning for this since he was 13 or whatever.)
