heh, also note:
even beef's creases are mathematical.

I don't know if that's supposed to be Pi as much as just a depiction of what the back of an actual nice shirt looks like.

Haven't you ever seen a shirt with that built-in crease thingy?

That's what I figured it for.  I also used my imagination to suppose there was the extra loop of fabric back there that in my vernacular is commonly called the 'nerd strap'.

In middle school they were called "fag tags" and forcibly removed in the hallways.

And in Heaven there is no 404 Not Found message.

In Hell you have a slow dial-up connection and you spend most of your time sitting there waiting. You do actually get to see a web page once in a while, just often enough to make you keep hoping and trying. And you almost always lose your phone connection in the middle of trying to send a long email message that you forgot to save a draft of.

That was your 404th post. This is awesome.

And from your description I was actually in hell throughout the 90's while I was using AOL v1.1–7

Ooo, how cosmic about my 404th post.

This is hardly the first strip about Roast Beef that has upset me.  So many of them are sad and awful in this way. He is just black and white lines and words on a page, for god's sake he's a cartoon cat, and yet it can make me sad.  I guess this is just something odd about the human brain and how easily manipulated we are.  Damn you, Onstad, working us all like puppets on a string.

hahah....sadly, this reminds also reminds me of myself. I don't think I've ever worn a shirt with words on it. But I have tons of them. I imagine all these exaggerated responses from people...heh...

dang, beef. dang. this morning i got up all happy, feeling good. played on my mandolin for a time, listened to some Bill Monroe, made me some eggs. Decided to see what ol' Beef was up to.
Now I'm going to stay inside the rest of the day, holding myself.

On the other hand, this post is so beautiful that now I feel all better.

If you can make distorted phone calls from Hell, it's not too surprising that you can send affectionate mail and tasteful gifts from Heaven.

Poor Beef, though.

Hmmm. Although that probably means she was trying to send him something like a new graphics card, and thusly Beef was totally right to bury the evil Klein shirt that in fact arrived.

i tend to get no response whatsoever, no matter what i wear.  i could probably walk around naked and people woudln't say a thing!

As long as they don't laugh.

well yes, most of my shirts have that.
i just thought it was... appropriate.

I like how his cat fingernails are all stubby from biting them. I think this is the first close up we have seen of beef's paws. this is a pretty great comic.

[pmcd9]

I can't believe no one has mentioned this.  We knew Beef had hella depression, but apparently he's a full blown schitzophrenic.  I am deeply concerned for our friend Beef.  This strip makes me want to cry.
