Right, well this strip certainly exposes my lack of knowledge regarding the song 'Jack and Diane'. Furthermore, Teodor's handclaps are pretty ambiguous. Basically, I do not know what's going on. I'm sure someone will explain.

Other than that, there's something very creepy about cats being given human body parts. I am talking about Molly's breasts.

Thankyou! The penny's dropped.

hm. yeah, I will watch this video in the morning. I am tired.

The artist wanted to draw a comic strip about cat nipples and did so.

The bear in the box is a nice touch.

Wow, I am not going to lie.  I watched that video, saw the clapping, then was watching longer to see the jack and diane costumes.  Anyhow, then I saw that sweet (I do not know how to describe it so I used sarcasm, you would have understood if I was talking to you.) Mellencamp screen and forgot about jack and diane until 2 minutes in.


I guess those dickbag Chevy commercials are not out of character.  Fuck Chevy (this went the wrong way) and Mellencamp.  I wonder if Onstad watches any sports, and if this is the reason for a Mellencamp strip (arc?).  They have been playing that Our Country Mellencamp commercial about 15 times a day during the MLB playoffs and the NFL games.

If you do not know the commercial (I don't watch that much tv outside of sports, and it seems like a sports type commercial) I think it is pretty offensive to the civil rights movement, Hurricane Katrina victims, and every other person/thing/event that they put in this commercial. 

Here it is:

This cleared things up a bit, but still an odd strip. How did Teodor get stuck with the box job? What kind of box is it?

[jough]

Teodor didn't get "stuck" with the box job - he wanted that job.

Does anyone else feel like Beef needs to put on some #####?

Molly's 'chests' and Beef's shirt-with-no-trousers serve to move the characters onto the upper slopes of The Uncanny Valley.

Oh you kids, all not knowin' Jack & Diane.

Suckin' on chili dogs, outside the Tastee Freez.

More cat boobies!

This brings up something I've half-wondered about for a while: it is a fact that we are not offended by the sight of Beef's lower half. There is nothing offensive. Despite this, there'd be no way in Brixton that Onstad would draw us Molly's lower half without some handy trousers/stockings/etc., despite it being probably about as offensive as Beef's would be.

Also: If Pat's Mexican Magic photo and Ray's infamous bulge are anything to go by, Beef is very understaffed in regards to the Trouser Department.

Edit: After writing this, I realise that I could have just replaced all this with IT'S A GODDAMN COMIC STRIP AND AS SUCH DOES NOT RUN FREELY WITHIN CONVENTIONAL OR LOGICAL BOUNDS. CERTAIN UNORTHODOX OR INCONSISTENT ASPECTS OF THE CHARACTERS ARE USED TO CREATE HUMOUR. Basically, as Evan far more succinctly states below, I looked far too much into this. Apologies.

I think you're probably putting more thought into the character designs than Chris Onstad ever has. The reason Molly has breasts and wears a skirt is because otherwise you wouldn't be able to tell she was supposed to be female.
