MAYBE YOU'RE A LITTLE STUPID WITH YOUR MONEY RAY - 12 May 2006

Holy Cow

That head does look rather smug.

Alternate title: WELL YOU AND I SHOULD PROBABLY LOSE SOME WEIGHT.

Or:  YOU EVER SHOOT A PERCH?

Whichever suits your fancy.


I particularly liked that the whole exchange was conducted in capital letters.  No typesetting technique better displays emotion, I think.

There has been better emotion through typesetting, but not often.

I love this strip. It's like when you get in a fight with a friend and you're mad but you're totally unprepared for an actual argument so you just say the first thing that comes to mind and hope that it makes sense.

What a let down! No mass murderings. Which is a surprise, because Keith Moon's head was certainly foaming at the mouth. Not that you can tell, him being in water and all.

An elegant ending to this strip could have been Ray's sassy face in the second to last panel, surrounded by a circle and written around the circle is RAYMOND QUENTIN SMUCKLES.

Well, I didn't see this happening.  Hopefully Ray won't lose weight.

dude, no.
you fail.

all of you fail.

Shoot it! Shoot it Ray!
I know, man! I know what you mean!

he doesn't do it. but he tells him that he understands what he means.
this is Ray. the idea of shooting Keith Moon is more important than actually doing it.

Heh, Inevitable is right, that's the strip's highlight.
Also that Ray is shouting it from a safe distance.

I understand that you are wanting to shoot the head.  I get this.  Together, we understand that you mean that you want me to shoot the head.

No, you are all still wrong.  The correct title was "YOU ARE A LOT OF THINGS, BUT YOU ARE NOT A GUY WHO SHOOTS A HEAD!"  As if there is a particular subset of people/talking cats/alive stuffed animals that fits this definition, the Guys Who Shoot Heads.  I mean, really, now.

To be fair, theinevitable's suggestion is runner-up.  It is also pretty good stuff.

Other delightful bits: Ray's eyebrows in the penultimate panel, and "SLERP!"

Clearly it's "YOU ARE A LOT OF THINGS, BUT YOU ARE NOT A GUY WHO SHOOTS A HEAD!"

I love that the entire strip is in CAPS-O-VISION!

Further, I was going to say that Ray was a little harsh to T, but then he included himself so... I don't even know.  I feel like T does in that 4th to last panel. All..  "uh.. um... oh..."

The most beautiful thing is how the head returns to a delighted expression when ray goes to take it and leave.  Is the head happy that he has cause turmoil? Was the only point of anger for the head the idea that they would drink his head booze?

Just to state it again, I am enjoying this storyline so much.  It is great.

This is the correct thread title.  Because really, that is the fundamental problem here.  (It would be better if all the words were spelled right, though.)

The severed head of the rock drummer does not want to see the stuffed animal and the cat fight.
