23 July 2007 - YES, I WILL HAS UR BABEY, RONALDO

Kind of a filler strip, to be honest, but there is something that caught my attention. What happened to all of Ray's money? Why should Beef be concerned about a little ol' wedding tab? And isn't $25,000 a drop in the bucket compared to all that piano money he made way back when?

Please don't let Ray become the next MC Hammer.

I have to presume that Ray's spent a lot of his money on trivial things, like Airwolf, but that he's still got enough bank to keep his lifestyle rolling a while longer. Still, when you have an opportunity like LOVE IN THE TIME OF PLEASE, DO NOT MENTION THAT HERE, a dude just has to take it, you know? It is timely.

I wondered about this too.

The morning-after pill for the bridesmaids, the alt-text, and Kristi the series development manager push this strip over into awesome category in my book.

no matter how rich I am, I would still take the 25,000$.

I mean... 250 pages? 100 dollars per additional page? I know that maybe in Real Life 100$ is not that much, but... it is.

I mean, that's just...all-inclusive, you know? From the Save The Date cards to the bridesmaids' Plan B, that is just hella thoughtful of Ray. I really liked this strip, and the morning-after pills for the bridesmaids just had me dying with laughter. I love it.

No, Ray can't be broke.  A, he's had money from the start, his family is rich.  B, he made millions in his deal with the devil/hit song.  C, sold some antique porn for hundres of millions.  D, everything he touches turns to gold.

I don't know why he's writing a harlequin romance either.  I don't know why Beef would ask him how he was going to pay for a wedding that is obviously petty cash to a dude like Ray.

Maybe it has to do with Beef's being convinced that weddings are the most ridiculously expensive ripoff in history? Even though he presumably knows intellectually that Ray has the money -- indeed, that Ray has probably been ripped off playing pool with Cornelius for more money than Beef's wedding will cost -- it still feels so massive to him that he has to ask how Ray will cover it.

This kind of speculation is like asking why someone goes "Who's There?" in a knock-knock joke rather than just opening the door and seeing for himself.



It is the setup for the punchline and should be duly overlooked.

The punchline itself is pure comedy iron pyrite.

It's not for the money, obviously, it's because it's an idea of such genius that it would be wrong to deprive the world of it.

Unless, of course, he steps on it.

Now Ray is totally taking over Mr. Bear's thing. If Ray starts writing closed captioning for Spice then he and Cornelius are going to have to throw down.

Didn't Ray write a Gay Romance Novel for Pat?

Let's see, there was Danger At 2 1/2 Feet which actually seems to be a good deal less bad than To Shave a Sailor.

When someone says "Knock Knock" you ask "Who's there?" for safety!

I read the thread title before the strip itself. Speculation abound on various famous footballers appearing in Achewood after Onstad's heathen lack of appreciation of Assoc(cer)iation football.

It was a nice birthday strip, though. I'm pretty sure we'd all love that Harlequin Romance job.
