This sequence of strips could be called "What Are You Irrationally Afraid of?"
Ray is afraid of not being successful at everything. Phillipe is afraid of not understanding the adult world. Tedor is afraid of coming off as gay. Beef is afraid of everything. Pat is afraid of being discovered as a living being with a living being's needs, whether straight or gay or whatever.
And Rod is afraid of Al-Queda, for some reason.
If entire movies, such as "Blades of Glory", can be about the fear of coming off as gay then... it is good to know what kind of pointless fear rules the mind of a gay pornography star. Arab terrorism choosing to strike a cheap hotel somewhere in suburban Northern California, it seems.
Let alone the implications of there existing a talking-cat version of Al-Queda.
Trying to reconcile that with any radical militant interpretation of Islam scares me.
What would The Prophet say about a parallel world of talking cats?
