Denise

Denise is in hell.

Chubby for a chubby........ Denise

DENISE! ARE YOU CRAPPIN'?
That's poetry to my ears.

Beef's prodigious beer gut, male pattern baldness, and aviators are terrifying. He is obviously knocking on the cheap plywood door of a trailer bathroom.

Beef has way too many issues and circumstances to ever be normal like that.

The fundamental problem with this scenario is that in reality, Denise would not be crappin' with the door closed. Unless it was Thanksgiving.

And if it were Thanksgiving, it would be unnecessary to feed the dog, since it would eat at the table like all the other people who let their bozzack hang out all loose after overstuffing on dry 2 day old 7-11 turkey and.. well, you get the idea.

turkey from 7-11=what a fool believes.

He knows they don't have turkey, "7-11 turkey" is just a street term for when you jack the whole rotisserie spindle full of hot dogs.

Gotta be better than road-turkey though.

The fundamental problem with this scenario is that a family of cats owns a dog. This would be comparable to a family of humans owning a gorilla, an improbable situation regardless of the holiday.

Now that I think about it, there probably exists a movie in the style of Air Bud where a family mistakenly receives a gorilla for Christmas and befriends it. Humor ensues!

Why am i the only person who has chubbed you? YOU DESERVE CHUBBS FOR YOUR FINDINGS DAMNIT

... Cats own humans though. Surely that is even more improbable.

I wish Friendly's had Burger Baskets.

Friendly's is where I drink. They pour beer down me.

Yaaay!

WHAT THEY DON'T EVEN SERVE BEER EVER!

The Friendly's I know is not depicted in this strip.

wow ok yea that changes the value of some childhood memories/free birthday sundaes for me a lot

Someone said on an earlier strip that they serve ice cream out of clowns' heads, or something. Did you ever see any nightmarish, hateful shit like that going down at your so-called "Friendly's?"

um a fucking cone head sundae

A fucking cone head sundae? Like Saturday Night Live cone head? I'm so confused. And fearful.

from friendly's website, for you, rowboat.

[IMGS OFF]

They hide more reeses pieces in the bottom as a surprise for you.

Thank you, blarghamagarky. Thank you for assuaging the fevered dreams which have lived in my head for the last few weeks.

Now it's time for thoughts of me to torture this little guy, 'cause if I ever find one of these Friendly's restaurants, it's gonna be a bloodbath! A sugary, delicious bloodbath!

I used to get six kinds of crazy on them when I was little, that was like my favorite shit ever. Only it would be mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Chubbied for impeccable ice cream choice.

I loved those things as a kid. Hell, I wouldn't mind one now. Except for the fact that I would have to go to Friendly's.

I think he's developing a thing for corpulent women...

How do you know?!

A comment left by beansdooma was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by Zem, hellofditties, Ikrizzle)

I would say his throughts are like poetry, but the hams aren't some concealed weapon.

Only Beef would assume that to be his 10 year from now self.

Man I wish my vision of my future was that positive.

Denise...your hams...

I am down

The last panel became the standard way of checking if the washroom was occupied at my place.

I am giving this a chubby because I assume everyone was called Denise regardless of their name.

Just so. In fact 3/4s of us were men.

Funny. My way of checking if someone is in there usually goes along the lines of:
"... 'Ello Daaaave? ... You want to buy some clothes pegs Dave?"

That...that's great?

Not being familiar with League of Gentlemen automatically equates to not getting what I was on about in the slightest.

Evidently.

A comment left by soticoto was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by lawbot, loneal, Doc_Rostov, nathanielperson)

what are you doing???

Hah. I went back and chubbied all the League of Gentleman references. And just to be a pedant it's "You wanna buy some pegs Daaaaave". I can't imagine anyone here not liking that series.

this is why you don't quote things that aren't meaningful or interesting out of context

more people need to learn this

A comment left by soticoto was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by saddestking, Doc_Rostov, tellumo)

Um, no.
That's the way the French do.

Yes! Good ol' Gallic arrogance! Classical British are also allowed to be obscure, but they must seem vaguely embarrassed about it, and not revel in having revealed how uncultured everyone else in the conversation is (even if they do take secret pleasure in it).

Um, I've given you a chubby for that, but I'm worried I may have been rather forthright in doing so. iure perhorrui late conspicuum tollere verticem and all that. Oh dear, I suppose that's not really quite the thing to say on here, is it? I'm terribly sorry, old man, I always misjudge these things.

denise are you crappin

Who wants to know?

YOU'RE MY WIFE NOW DAVE!! papa has to be the scariest fictional character i've ever seen tbh >.< i'm terrified of someone coming to the door one day trying to sell me clothes pegs and making me their wife :(

There's that kind of Goofy/Pluto dynamic going on here with the idea of talking bipedal cats owning such as a basic dog.

Beef seems to have a habit of imagining himself married to various women.

I wonder if he and Molly will ever tie the knot.

Apparently so.

never

That was a yes.

delicious.

but i am down

As I've aged, I find that I to have developed a thing for corpulent women.

Luscious hams, so, so many luscious hams.

I used to think I was developing such a Thing. But then I realized it was only with clothes on, so it didn't really pan out. I can't say I'm heartbroken over it.

Denise

I have Beef's internal monologue twinned with Beck's "Debra".

This comment needs more chubbies.

This would be my family if the last panel would scroll down so we could confirm wether or not Beef is wearing pants (hint: i am very familiar with my dad's inner thighs)

Wait, what?

I can't decide if "I know my dad's inner thighs like the back of my hand" would have been a better or worse way to phrase that.

You can read a lot into the name Denise.

Denise is my mom's name. I'm not sure how I feel about this strip.

it feels wierd

May I feel your weird?

Talk to Eliza about it.

Denise is also my mother's name. I doubt we're related, though, unless there's something Mom isn't telling me.

Apparently, after 10 years, Beef gets punctuation.

Maybe it was Denise's luscious hams that did it.

Considering there's a KFC, a 7-11, Jazz music, a 5.99 burger basket meal, and a free car (a 1982 suburu brat, granted) this depiction of Hell doesn't seem too... hellish. However, this is my first time reading this comic, so I'm anxiously waiting to see what else Hell has in store for these two.

it wouldn't be so great for me,
i can't drive stick

don't forget Robert Johnson plays every damn evening!

See, you have to realize that Hell is eternal (unless you know about the Friendlys Menu trick, of course).

Those things are OK and maybe even kind-of-ironically fun for a weekend.

But just try 938479324749 years of them. Torture !

Any strips with characters looking ahead to their future-selves are pure class

I just know that somewhere out there in hell is a Little Chef.

surprisingly, roast beef the maybe 40-ish year old cat has a pet dog.
I AM TOO LITERAL.

Yes. "Feed the dog" could easily be a euphemism for something else.

Now, would he be talkin about the Aibo?

There's a girl who works at my Wal Mart named Denise. And every time I walk past her, I think "Those are some luscious hams... Denise "

It has become a thing that I almost said out loud before I pondered the possible sexual harassment suit.

Also, she's like 50 and not all that to look at. Her hams are not so much luscious as saggy.

And then I immediately think "DENISE ARE YOU CRAPPIN?" and laugh.

i am craaaaaaaaappin'
