D'awwww


The flashback sequence of Beef's life, and his little smile when he remembers meeting Molly got me right here.

No words necessary. Beef's life flashed before his eyes and he saw what was most important to him. Very touching.

Also, poor Philippe...and poor Teodor too! He's having a major freakout. Guy needs to calm down some, maybe take a vacation.

Clearly Onstad is channeling Ware again, but in the best way.

Though the story had been told already to those who subscribe to the premium content, this completed it well.

It feels like a beautiful summation of all that is Roast Beef's life. Long may it last.

(PS - I hope this becomes a poster)

Wow, that was beautiful.

I went back and reread the whole arc after Harlock posted the link in another post, and it's true. It reads even better all as once.

It hit close to home at the time, because my SO and I have been seeing each other for a long time now and we're both kind of at a transitional place in our lives and now might be the time to make a decision and...

... and then I realize I'm letting a cartoon about talking cats make me think about taking one of the most life-altering steps I could take.

Could be worse, I suppose. (We're at a ball game together, she pops the question on national TV. WHAT DO YOU DO?)

Phillipe's trauma made me, ironically, piss myself.

Who are the cats in Panel 3? They appear to be Kazenzakises (Kazenzakii?) rather than Sanderses or Smuckleses.

I hope I never have to refer to a scone in spoken conversation.

Part V. Although I'm not sure who he's lighting here. Ray? Beef's nails could never look that good.

My guess would be Ray's mom.
