Now that Beef is involved, things will get done for real.

I would've gone with the title "wet, cheap anus"... but that's neither here nor there.

The idea of Beef being Ray's secret weapon is one of the Great Things about this strip.

The two of them are a beautiful dicotomy.

Ray has the resources to buy cities whole but is too distractable and too much a dabbler to know how to use them.  Beef has the knowledge to cripple a nation but unless his anxieties (or Ray or Molly) are pushing him around, he's gonna sit around playing nerd games in his head.

But together. Together, Two Dudes From Small Times can accomplish a lot.

I felt like this whole strip was building up for an awesome punchline at the end - something that did not occur. Instead we get dreaded continuity! But I can live with that. Beef should definitely take this arc into an interesting direction.

I love Beef and his ability to decode anagrams from things that disgust him.

I wonder why he's wearing a button down shirt? Did he and Molly just get back from a wedding and to recuperate he has to spend some time in a darkened room by himself? Maybe Beef's a highly sensitive person and therefore needs some time to calm his shattered nerves. I know I do.

Beef's lookin' pretty svelte these days. I guess he's on the S.O.-S.A.D. Dammit Eat Some Peanut Butter Or Something Diet.

Wet cheap anus is even worse than regular cheap anus

Ray doesn't know what the hell he's getting himself into.  Dudes get murdered over spam these days.  Gang warfare erupts over control of botnets.  The hottest spammers are also not in Africa but in Russia, where serious men eat snow and throw cats at walls.  I fear for their safety.

Either that, or Little Nephew is in for a hell of a grounding.  Either or.

How odd that Roast Beef can use his wireless connection to mess up Monsieur Sumbitches, but has to physically infiltrate Yahoo headquarters to delete a personals add.  Continuity works in mysterious ways.  I like the skinnier Beef, though.  He reminds me of the original Dirtiest Dudes strips back when the cats still looked like actual cats standing on their hind legs.

Definitely, if only so we could amuse ourselves by looking at the board activity page and seeing how many disappointed Guests were looking at it.

For me, it is Morgan Freeman that narrates the fine posts of littlefallsmets, and this is something I greatly enjoy.

I am very disappointed that it took this many posts to get to the list of anagrams.

I think Beef sometimes codes on a consultant basis. He must be wearing the shirt because he had to visit a client on-site today.
