Dr. Frankenstein was trained in anatomy - 17th March

...

I mean, I laughed, but I am also somewhat confused. It seemed to feel like about three strips in one. Which I guess is a good thing, I just wasn't prepared.
Oh hell I have to go to sleep now.

I think Ray and Beef are only different breeds to make it easier to tell them appart in silhouette.

It's also weird that Ray uses a "diary" while Beef has a "journal." I would've thought Ray would be bothered by the girlie connotations.

I would like to know about what constitutes a "good chat" with Todd.

I think it would be difficult to have a conversation with Todd which was good on an absolute level, but he may also mean good relative to other chats with Todd. Or maybe it's just Beef's low standards again.

I rather like how Ray writes like Beef talks, while Beef himself has a much more civilized writing style.

This week is off to a far better start than should be allowed by law.*

Although, I must admit to feeling guilty about seeing the humor in Beef's hella depression.  But who else would find a discussion of Frankestien to be a reminder of their own mortaility?


* I have just jinxed the rest of the week, of course.  You're welcome

I just realized:
I'm friends with this dude, and my older brother is friends with this dude's sister. I was hanging out with my brother and the dude's sister, just havin' all sorts of fun, and she did an imitation of her brother, which was so spot on and perfect.
Not until I read today's strip did I realize that her impression of her brother was exactly like my mental impression of Beef.

Protracted sentence award of the week!

Took me a good few to fully get to grips with.
I can even see from the quote how it sounds Beeflike. But then I seem to hear everything as Beef right now. I think I may be about to turn into him overnight.

m3 2!!!1!!

Beef's style is not only civilized, but he uses intensely correct punctuation and rather complex sentences. I bet he touch-types as well, and never has to backspace--hence, his ability to type in the dark, his native catty eyesight notwithstanding.

Also, I like how Ray dons a shirt and tie when he sits down to the computer.  Can't tell from the masthead for Ray's Place whether he does this while dispensing advice, though.

Paisley, I understand why you thought that, as I did as well; however, closer inspection reveals it's just his medallion hanging in front of his chest.

Sorry to burst your bubble, kid.

I've taken the liberty of zooming and colorizing the image in question.



You can see that the medallion hangs front and center, and the left arm is crossed in front of Ray.

Awesome. I'm comparing the two images and ... I guess I need new glasses. I'm still seeing a collar and tie in the native version on my monitor's resolution, but then, I still think there was more than one shooter in the Zapruder film. Whatever. Gov. Connelly still has JFK's blood on his hands, and Ray is still a dork.
