Hard to imagine how to make this sexier.

Johnny Depp is muy sexcelente. He could do just about anything and be awesome at it.

ALSO: I don't think I've seen that painting of Kahlo before. Jesus, that painting is intense. I can't imagine the pain and suffering she must have gone through after the accident and subsequent gazillion surgeries.

That was the painting I first saw of hers.  As a Freshman in college I decided that rather than take the usual "Introduction to Western Art" type general education class that I would fulfill the requirement by taking an actual Art course (Intro to Painting).  I didn't really realize at the time that it would be like a theatre arts oriented person taking Freshman Chemistry (one of our "weeding out courses" in the science colleges).  We were expected to fill several notebooks with sketches, images, ideas, whatever - there was at least 6 solid hours of work each week outside of class, and there was 6 hours per week of studio time.  Between this class and another ill-advised theory of mine, I almost ended up on academic probation in my first year of school.
Anyway, when we got to self-portraits, Kahlo was one of the exemplar artists.  My teacher, who was a photorealist, was absolutely rhapsodic about her work - about her ability to symbolize and illustrate her internal world.  Strong praise for a surrealist.

I am proud that I realized that taking a Painting class was a horrible idea. Even though I wanted to.

A lot of kids dropped out of the art school into the general college this year. Oof.

Is this the first appearance of the Dude and Catastrophe outside of the blogs? Formerly, these had seemed to me to have been two semi-separate worlds - seperate in the sense that the subject matter of the blogs will be largely apart from the subject matter of the strip. Not entirely, but largely. Onstad seems to be bringing them together for the momentous event of Beef's engagement, between the hitherto unmentioned in strip D & C and Ray's account of Beef's dilemma in his blog.

Nice work, Onstad.

I'm sure we've seen the logo before but now that I think about it that was on a t-shirt so possibly it is.
That said there has been stuff from the blogs referenced in the comic before. I think Cornelius' trip to russia was at some point.

Indeed, his trip was mentioned. I was thinking of Pat's television dinner, which mentions Pat and Rod.
There was also the zine, which was the subject of one of Ray's blogs. But, except for this strip, zine strips were largely stand-alone and didn't tend to involve any arcs, like the Phillipe Times until quite recently.
 
But this has to be the most blog crossover for any arc. I don't believe we've ever had a blog that comments so directly on one of the topics at hand in the current arc, while introducing a prominent figure from the world of the blogs into the world of the strips.

Lyle's trip to Scotland has also been mentioned in a comic.

I do not object to ladybeards as a general rule. I only object to people who are ill-groomed. If a lady wishes to grow a goatee then I expect it to be a neatly groomed one and not a scruffy unkempt horror, which is too often what I witness on careless chins.
