It's alright. Ray seemed a bit more accepting of his victory this time around.

 You've made your bed, now severely beat your friends in it! isn't the topic. How come.

 I can't see this ending very funny. I'm expecting a strip with no dialogue and bloody fists. The violence and creeping darkness of this arc is going to have some serious (though probably reversible, still sad) backlash for the main characters.

Or we end with the tower in flames...

Ray and Beef striding away from the 3 Acres, their faces set in grim expressions, faces streaked with soot..

Their former allies rush up to ask what happened but upon seeing the look in their eyes give them some space as they stride away to the motorcycle and drive off without a word...

And then next Monday, Teodor will have humorous exchange with Lyle over a current TV series, or Mr. Bear will find himself typing away at what he considers genre hackwork for income and the strip goes on.

And so we come to a crossroads.  Of course, I think we all saw it coming (I didn't think that Beef would just lay down [I mean, he would, but that it wouldn't actually happen]), so now Ray might actually have to beat him.  On the other hand, I'm not sure if he can do it.  I could probably see Ray starting to beat him, Beef trying to defend, until after about 5 minutes they're all A BLOO BLOO BLOO and in come the Jeeps.

Or Ray calls the mayor and has the tower judges arrested.  I could see that too.

Anyway, since I'm probably not right on either count, I can't wait for Monday!

I love how the jeeps bring some unspecified horror.  It's scarier because you can imagine that they're full of whatever is the most frightening thing to you.

My jeeps would be driven by Bob Saget and Carrot Top, and the passengers would be clowns that move and sound like the Velociraptors in Jurassic Park.

Panel 6 is all how'd-we-do awestruck attention. The penultimate panel is all naked fear. Beef emotes terror so well. He knows, he knows.

Well, at this point, it seems clear that neither of them is willing to fight the other.  And that dialouge from Rodney?  Totally sets them up as a team.

So the conflict has moved from Beef vs Ray to Beef and Ray vs. The Man.

The Man with the Jeeps, signified by the Rodney/Ramses.

As you may have noticed, I am beating you with your own goggles.

I am sorry about this Beef.

The arc is getting old for me. I'd totally like to see the next strip with Ray and Beef both in Heaven, drinking some crispy Stellas, talking about how badass it was that they both killed each other simultaneous-like, and then Blister walks in with some hot women and a bong or something. Hilarity ensues.

Still room for a Beef victory.  I'm sure he knows the simple move that will take down Ray with one blow.

If no one would respect Ray for winning a fight with only three victories (thus necessitating Beef's ruse), then no one would respect Beef for winning with one victory. We TALKED about this.

Unlike most I'm not going to talk about what is coming up next, I'm sticking to the current strip. I thought it was pretty funny and that's always good for, you know, a comic. Mr. Smuckles provides the badassery (bad-ass-ery) and the funny! Plus I thought the Alt Text was hilarious. I may have LOL'd I'm not sure.

"Roast Beef do I need to hush him?"
"Hush Ray"
*Rays face at this point is priceless!*

And the Jeeps, one can only imagine. This is a run down of my brain thinking about the jeeps first that the jeeps may just merely run them down, or maybe there are blades sticking out on the jeeps and they just did a run by. A drive by with guns? Oh shit like a WW2 jeep all anti tank gun on top? But who drives it? Shit maybe THAT'S the scariest part. Who is driving? Oh my god BEAR IS DRIVING? How could this be (at this point I start think about Clerks and just leave the computer. I came back to finish the strip)"
