29 April 2008 - That part of the painting where God's finger touches Adam's

I'm not sure dude-to-dude cards are really that viable as a marketing idea, for reasons Beef kind of articulates himself in the last panel.  Of course, Ray's mind apparently processes dude-to-dude sentiments in card-speak anyway, so I guess it's not too surprising that he'd suggest this.

Edit: After reading it again I realized he's probably using "sick as Hell" in the positive sense.  Also, I might actually buy the Chorizo ones myself.  I still don't know how likely I'd be to use them.

Rays desire to send cards to his dudes is sufficient to sustain an entire dude to dude greeting card cottage industry.

Sick as Hell.

Definite echoes of Ray's apology letter...

Dude cards are definitely about one dude razzing another dude, in a friend-like manner.

That is as close as we can get to affection without fearing that you're about to unlock the other guy's gay vault, way in the back of his head.

Dude2Dude card concept:

"Hey, you live long enough together it's bound to happen."

(inside) "But I'm still sorry I saw your junk."

Except that I'm a lady, and there are so many Dude2Lady cards on the market that they've been rendered completely meaningless. 

Thanks for the thought, though.
