Did my abscessed tooth pain wake me up at 4:00 just so I could be the first to comment on this awesome strip?  Favorite part, Beef has fired up the Weber to grill a solitary wiener.

From the very top drawer. Beef is having Ray's life at the moment - which has to be a good thing. Ray's contortions are beautifully visualised - that is EXACTLY the face I'd make if my secret Barbie Porn stash was rumbled.

Very very agreed.  In a world where mouths are intermittent, this is a fine one indeed.

Absolutely. The best. Just him, a grill and a weiner.

But you know what adds even more to that? The fact that he's grilling in his shirt and tie.

Sometimes I wish that I could be Roast Beef. Minus getting shot all the damn time.

That last panel is just priceless.  That look on Ray's face.  Beautiful.  Today will be a good day after all.

Sounds like Ray needs a little help from his friend.

"I...I had to look a lotta stuff up for my advice column!"

And, man, isn't that just the classic excuse for naughtiness on the computer.  Umm, I was doing research, I swear!  My uncle told me once he needs to know what is out there so he can know what to protect his kids from.  Ha!

I've actually gotten a similar excuse from a friend before.  Kind of a weird guy to start with, but it gets deeper when you hear him say, "I need it for research for my book.  My anime book."

"Would that be your blue-haired teenager with boobs the size of kick-balls in horrible bondage being sexually assaulted by an octopus creature  anime book?"

I love how this is a near-total inversion of the Porno strip. It's a sign that Ray and Beef's relationship is changing, to Beef's benefit.

And that is rad, yo.

Is Beef retaliating against Ray for shaming him earlier, even though it was only in Beef's dreams that he was called out by Ray?

Also, I was unable to locate any cake-smashing porn with a quick Google search this morning.  I'll have to try again sometime, because that sounds incredibly hot.  Maybe I could ask Ray to send me a link...

Thanks for posting that link.  That strip is so beautiful!  Roast Beef!  That lady don't have no under##### on!

Is Ray getting dumber?  Or am I getting wiser to his dumbness?  If you remember the Simpsons from the first season and before, Homer wasn't that dumb of a guy.  He got dumber as the years passed, and some fans saw it as pandering to a dumber and younger audience.  Sometimes it seems to me that Ray gets dumber with each strip.  Not in a bad way, mind you, it's kind of a cute dumb.

I think Beef has just put up with Ray's crazy antics for too long, so he is beginning to get snappy with him.  I think he'll get over it soon.  It happens with a couple of my friends all the time.  I'll think I've had enough of their dumbass ways, but then I just get over it.  And I'm sure they are that way with me too.

I love how I am analyzing Beef as if he isn't a cartoon character.  I do the same thing with the Simpsons.

How many other people here have had to do exactly what Beef is doing? I can't make it through a workday without at least one, "sigh, I'll be over in a minute."

But at least Ray is smart enough to know that he has spyware, which is more than I can say for most of my coworkers. Hell, I'm impressed he knows the term.

My coworkers here are mostly computer literate, though there was one woman who would always forward bogus virus warnings to the entire department.  She's a manager now.  

I did spend about a year and a half doing tech support for an ISP in Arkansas.  I'd guess the #2 most frequently asked question was "How do I erase my browser's history?"

In 2004, I have no sympathy for anyone who surfs where they shouldn't surf while at work.
