Please be so Promethean - 12 Aug 2010

I like how the Brisket36 Initiative involves the need for wisdom Known only to Mr. Bear. Perhaps this will shape up to be one of those "bring all the players together" arcs, despite my being just on the verge of losing hope (FOREVER)  prior to Roast Beef's arrival.

Having Emeril's face appear suddenly above the word "help" would give me the chest-grabs as well. And yes, this arc is finally looking up.

My thoughts exactly.

Took me a while to figure out what's in the following panel--knives stuck in the wall?  I suppose they are T's skinny boots.

I'm actually a little sad that the trash-spotting crew isn't going to manage this in-house. It seems like Ray (or if Ray's in trouble, Beef) saving the day is the conventional ending for the character(s)-in-danger arcs.

Ray and Spongebath can put together the clues (like when Philippe was missing in the dump) but Ray is A Cat of Action.

That debt really should be owed to Roast Beef.

The debt should also be owed to Teodor but I think Pete has sensed that he was not a main guy of that decision.

The word "help" is written there exactly as it is on the wall in my brother's basement.  (It's been a nightmarish puzzler there since he moved in.)

Of course it is. Wouldn't you want to be able to summon Ray if you were in trouble? It is the sensible thing to do.

I feel like...

If this arc were coming out in some kind of every-other-day or twice-weekly fashion, I would have a lot more patience for the fact that it is just vectoring back toward interesting.

During this arc, I have bottomed out to the point where I was only reading was to keep up in conversation with y'all.

I realize "artist's rights" and "it is free, asshole" and all that but holy shit, dude is undermining the hell out of himself creatively by moving so slowly with this particular story.

The weird sidebars into bad hick dialect would be so much less annoying if they were sitting on that page for two days instead of a week and a half at a clip.

Emeril looks really weird in the darkness like that.  It's really just Nice Pete in disguise, by the end of the arc Nice Pete slaughters every character except for Todd and Pat, then Achewood ends.
