Found it.

First thing I thought of as well. I'd actually been thinking of that suggestion for a while, especially since I've recently felt like stealing that "I will give you a sign. And that sign will be that life is awesome" line every time I smoke.

THIS IS PROOF THAT ONSTAD STILL LURKS.

One other thing: note that Onstad has made the bat translucent. Hell. Of. Awesome.

At first, I thought that Ray was coming to a Philip K Dick-esque realization about the nature of reality, all gnostic and psychotic-breaky, in the first few panels and then... I realized he was LITERALLY talking about a road that plays music.

It was not a metaphor for the way information is holographically encrypted into what we believe to be reality that Ray was musing upon, he was not grasping for framework within which to understand this construction through the eyes of a person walking the earth in these modern times.

He was LITERALLY inventing the record-road.

...and that was the moment I realized I read too much into everything.

All pulling into the EZ-Pass lane, turning off the stereo, and the strains of Iron Maiden's "Number Of the Beast" all vibrating the entire vehicle while four small children in the car ahead of you cry and their bumper sticker saying "Abortion Stops a Beating Heart" falls off and disintegrates.

Road sign all reading:

I'm watching Elvis's hair slowly float back down after Ray turns the bat up in panel 4. And Mr. Bear is still the most rational person there. I for one am not surprised.

coldfrog, I have used up all the 'all's for the next hour. This is an intervention

(damn. Hell of tryin to tell people what words they can use. Shame on me)

Now, now.  There's plenty of "alls" to go around.  But also note "hella'" makes a nice substitution.

Come on now, don't be harsh to a n00b.  gowerski makes a good point in a way, since in the strip previous to this one Ray actually describes the bad as "clear liquid-filled acrylic." RMJ12345 might have been split on the green before.  That is what I suspect.

I like the thought process that leads to any message being expressed by something that relates to music, or more specifically records, must be a satanic message, even if its purpose is public safety.

For a second there, because I'm not a smoker, I looked at the bow on Mingus' hat and tried to figure out what kind of bone it could be. Then I had an "oh." moment.

No shame 'giraffe.  I used to smoke up to excess and it wasn't until I read your post that I got the reference myself (with Urban Dictionary's help).  You're probably just getting old.

His point is legit. He was just sayin', so I was just sayin'.

I am not, nor have I ever been, split on the green.

Success! I have a crush on nightlife mingus. I demanded his return on touamb and most recently on ass bar. The story can only get better from here.
