@achewood The bus is crossing Klickitat St., home of Ramona Quimby. It's pretty swank these days. No sign of Nosmo King.

I believe this is the first time we see Beef take the form of an actual cat.

Beep beep indeed.  Boris is going to get sacked for sure.

Wombat, because I am very very tired after staying up all night typing (well, typing, and watching the making-of stuff on the Terminator 3 DVD) I will give you very gentle noogies.

But next time, expect hair to fall out.

I like how he was drawn on the top of the cube. Onstead could have changed Beef's proportions, but no. His hind legs are still too long for a cat.

But the scale is interesting--he's human-sized up there and in front of the monitor, but very cat-sized zipping out the door. If Boris & co. hadn't drawn attention to the fact Beef is a cat, I would never have thought of it.

I almost posted a question yesterday as to whether he was infiltrating Yahoo! Underground, or if he was actually going to encounter humans at our Yahoo!, but I thought the question was silly.  I guess this was actually our Yahoo!.

It's still up for debate. Jough found out human Yahoo won't accept a picture of Ray. And the Boris of U-Yahoo could have simply been remarking that the cracker in question was a cat as opposed to a stuffed bear or something.

It weird to think of Yahoo! taking adult personal ads for animals.

Yahoo! in the strip reminds me of the company my wife works for.  Russia exports more programmers than Ireland exports Guinness.

Seems to keep a fair few for itself too, from what I've seen.
Although notably the last year the majority of those I've met have been Scandinavian. Not cats though.

Beef as a "real" cat in the first panel = priceless.

I think this is supposed to be our Yahoo!, given that Boris points out that an "animal" changed his password again. Of course, this makes Beef's whole scheme to sneak in as a pizza delivery guy even weirder, since what, they wouldn't recognize that their pizza was delivered by a talking cat? Wild.

And again, why the port scans and DOS attack if he was just going to misdirect them and physically hijack an unattended workstation?

"Aagh! Animal changes my password! Why this always happens to ME?"

Priceless.

I've been thinking about that since last night, and now my answer would be:
Because he can.
And...
It's fun.

no to be a spoilsport guys, i would suggest that the question of which yahoo is involved is secondary to beef's intense hacking master-skills.

True, except I would say this is more a case of cracking than hacking since it involved breaking into a system.
