I kind of want to punch Altimeter Tim in the face? Am I wrong in this?

Also, doesn't Beef have a car? Or access to Ray's car? Other than the 1978 Volvo 244GLE of Despair?

No.

The title escapes me for the moment, but I was reading my daughter a story set in the early 1900's.  There were two kids, a brother and sister who were driving themselves to school; the boy worked the floor pedals at the direction of his older sister who managed the steering and shifting and so forth.  The prose was very descriptive of the whole process, and it was unbelievably complicated to drive that car, what with a manual spark advance; separate levers and clutches for going in reverse, etc.

Ray is pleased by the idea of giving the world an orgasm.  The concept also pleases me.

doesn't Beef have a car?

Furthermore, why isn't Cornelius driving his own car?

[jaydub]

"fluid on the knee", i.e. arthritis-associated swelling which makes it difficult to bend the leg.  No doubt a hindrance when you're driving a stick.

[pmcd9]

Ah. I glossed over that part.

[jaydub]

Wow.  Check out the description of the driving process here.



Probably knowing how to drive a modern car would be a major disadvantage in learning to drive one of those.

That is straight up orgasms - steak present.

There was an item recently about a baseball broadcaster who had some sort of brain problem during a game and talked about "fifth base" and other weirdness. This strip reminds me of that.

I've got early onset wrecked attention.

He doesn't have a lot of lines here, but I still don't know if Onstad has got Mr. Bear's "voice" back yet.  He's got Beef down, though.  I found myself looking up "muttershanks" to see if it was a real thing, and then wishing it were.

Altimeter Tim actually reminds me a lot of Ray in a "being in trouble is a fake idea" kind of way.  Is this conversation really happening, or is Ray still partying, in a medical sense?  I guess it says something about Ray's character that you can't really tell if he's back to normal.

Also, it's good to see FLUT make another appearance.  It's been a while.  PHAP! is great too, and apparently new.

Give the world an orgasm? Okay.

I'd rather really bum the world out in a manner that makes them empathetic to the hell that is being one of the unlucky people but... his is probably a valid approach too.

Not a valid approach for ME but you know for SOME.

Remember Ray, just because the world orgasms, doesn't necessarily mean it was consensual.

I seem to remember this in a Roald Dahl book. Or maybe I'm remembering his descriptions of how he learned to drive when he was a wee laddie in his autobiography, Boy.
