It looks like Beef is being shoved into the machine head first (his feet are visible above) and, after being processed by the machine, emerges as a bunch of tennis balls. Tennis balls are indeed very unfortunate beings. Roast Beef has been turned into tennis balls.

I am just now noticing how there are pointers on each side of that particular circle, and while the outer words can be seen as positive, the inner words are decidedly not. I kinda assumed it was pointing to both since the words in each pairing kinda mean the same thing, but now I can tell there is a difference. For Beef, it points to Scruff (but not Filth!) and Self-Obsessed.
This would then make Ray both Charm and Ignorant, answering my earlier question, and Nice Pete might be Sociable and Violence.
Still not touching Philippe though.

"Zounds!" is an incredibly common exclamation and you should seek professional treatment if you're not familiar with it.
I will back Octafish that while it is somewhat lesser known that it actually means "God's wounds" that was specifically mentioned on the Simpsons by Flanders in "Lisa's Wedding". At the Springfield Renaissance Faire he uses it while dueling Smithers ("Zounds, I did thee mightily smitily!")and then proceeds to instruct the crowd on it's meaning.
I may not have much in the way of moral fiber, but I do know a hell of a lot about the Simpsons, which is an adequate substitute.

Well spotted, however the artwork does make spacial sense if you assume that the geared contraption does not run parallel to the wall, but rather at a slight angle to it. Furthermore the giant karmic woodchipper has no reason to consider itself bound by the rules of perspective in any case

The thick dark line in that segment and the movement of the hand would seem to imply that "Lash of Thanatos" and "Wounded by God" are the worst possible afflictions for their respective wheels.
As many have stated already Beef cannot become any more unfortunate of a being.
I'm still not happy that this appears to have been real. I was still solidly in the camp that this was an elaborate performance and not of any actual danger to Beef in any way. The Lash itself having been an arranged and crucial part of the work itself.
It also kinda feels like Onstad is stalling with this a bit while he works out exactly where he's going to go. I noticed the last few strips have been a tad slower than necessary, not just to build anticipation, but also to seemingly buy him some time.

I think the biggest concern is that a clutch might prevent the drill from turning when it encounters significant resistance. Not to mention the problem of the nipple being able to be held firmly enough in the chuck without slipping or just getting shredded before it can actually be torn off.

I think it would largely depend on your definition of what constitutes the nipple and what it means to tear it off. If you just mean the outermost layers of skin, and you're not particularly concerned whether or not the entire areola comes with, I'd expect a decent quality drill could get it done. If you mean complete removal of the nipple such that it would not heal back into a reasonable approximation of its original state, that might take something industrial with a hell of a secure chuck.

I think the definition of what a nipple is has been pretty undisputed in most scientific circles and to challenge that would be pretty uncouth and, my guess, unappreciated by those circles, and when said nipple is torn off it leaves no one arguing over whether it's officially "torn off" or not. However, since we're all pretty familiar with nipples, I think we'd all be in agreement that if the nipple is ripped off, you can expect most of if not all of the areola to come with it.

The Amish mindset, so far as I understand, isn't that technology is evil, but that relying on your neighbors and community is important and technology should not be used that would impair that or cause one to become prideful and stand out.
Different communities have different opinions, but I'm told that cell phones have become somewhat common. In some cases having communal ones or that are kept out in a shed or such.
In a way I have mad respect for the Amish above all other religious folk. They're seriously committing to their beliefs and in doing so they're not forcing them upon or causing any trouble for anyone else. I mean, yeah, there are the inevitable problems that come from having kids, but overall they seem to be doing religion in the best way.

It's true. Almost every time I have gotten laid I had consumed cheese or, at the very least, some sort of cultured dairy product within the past hour.
I've got some four year aged cheddar in the fridge that I'm planning on breaking out tonight to induce mad kink.
Girls love it best when you eat cheese during sex.

Actually you're all making a possibly incorrect assumption that all these cogs are on the same plane of depth. Clearly perspective isn't to be trusted here, and we're looking at all of them head on anyway. It's entirely possible that the smallest cogs turn BEHIND the largest one (and the medium ones have significantly more depth than the largest one). Those gears can potentially turn, but you can't tell for sure unless you look at the thing sideways.

The first arrow points towards his good natural tendencies: Beef is virtuous. The second arrow, attached to the first, is a neutral natural tendency. Ain't no one going to hell for being scruffy. The third arrow are his bad natural tendencies: Beef spends a lot of time in his own world, and could be considered self-obsessed. The fourth arrow, attached to the fifth, is what he was cursed with from birth. The final arrow, in the center, are his Circumstances. It'll probably stop on "wounded by parent," because Beef spent a lot of time in a sandwich bread bag for clothing.

There's no Angel of mercy, and it ain't no tunnel of love your latest trick gets you into. A dive of death rather than a walk of life, you fall onto solid rock. And it never rains: you're southbound again and again, a six-blade knife awaiting while les boys die hand in hand in the Escalade, their private investigations taken down to the waterline and then some. So far away from your brothers in arms, you take your last ride across the river. So where do you think you're going? You ought to follow me home, the man ('s too strong) seems to say.
Ah damn. I really used to be a fan. Now, it makes so little sense.

The antichrist has a pretty crummy time to be honest. He spends most of his time reforming a new roman empire and building a new financial/ social system in the middle east only to see it get blown up by pesky christians. And then his ultimate reward for statebuilding and a can-do attitude is being on fire for LITERALLY FOREVER.
Seriously its not all blood orgies, "rock and or roll music" and nannies hanging themselves.

Two days!?!? Clearly you have a poor understanding of Onstad's schedule. We'll be lucky to get one more strip this week and then another one pushed back to either this weekend or early next week.
Neither will reveal much of anything.
For someone who made his mark with great dialogue he's certainly scaled back lately to doing more strips with tedious dialogue designed to move along a weak and tenuous plot or strips with long stretches of silent panels slowly showing something happening. Not just this CH arc, but even before.

I disagree. Onstad's never been short of quality. There were some great zingers in that arc, and even the art was pretty good for Achewood standards. But when every character is delivering these great zingers with no point and for ten minutes each, then it's time to rethink the whole thing and end it as painlessly as possible which, to his credit, he did. I think this arc (CH2, let's call it) is bringing him back to form, a bit sloppily (the Williams-Sonoma beginning was not my cup of tea) , but it beats Wales. Or I think.

Wales can be bested by Yorkshire. That's not saying a hell of a lot.
This arc just feels slow and with the possibility that he hasn't quite worked out his endgame yet but thinks that if he keeps it slow and vaguely atmospheric the tension will keep us coming back and thinking highly of it.
I'd rather eat McDonald's new Big Trenton.
We take premium Coney Island Whitefish, deep fry it to a golden brown and serve it on an artisan potato bun with American cheese and authentic "Jersey-sauce". We got your filet-o-fish right here!

That was basically nothing but him spinning his wheels with nothing interesting to do and then coming up with the worst and most illogical manner of resolving it that itself takes forever to get through.
That arc had a few high points, but overall it felt like a chore and an excuse for Onstad to reuse a bit that worked once two or three more times to greatly diminishing returns. I don't think there was a single event in there that took less than two strips to describe.

what a dumb bird. similar to my friend's cockatiel; once it made a little poop on my knee and laughed. he laughed . (okay, it was just squeaking to be honest, but it did it for like, ten straight minutes.)
then we attacked it with little cheese pieces, which we found it feared. hilarity ensued.

why is there a period after the label "Karma?" What the fuck is that? Isn't the period generally used in sentences? Likewise with "Lash of Thanatos." Hey Onstad, you forgot the apostrophe in "Thanatos."

Yo choco. Why do you think there should be an apostrophe in Thanatos. Because it ends in an "s"? Thanatos is a name (demon representation of death). If it were "Thanatos' Lash", well there you go. Just like "the douche of choco" would be "choco's douche". Are we clear now? Also, there are two "m"s in "grammatical". Not that Onstad needs a defender, but you're the fucking idiot.

On the "fucking idiot" scale, I think not being able to spell very well doesn't even register... You must be one of those Americans who went to an American school where memorization of spelling and times tables passes for education aka funducation. On the other hand, being unable to notice that I'm being sarcastic when I say that thanatos should have an apostrophe... that just might register on the "fucking idiot" scale, not as strongly as your avatar, but yeah, it's on there.

I guarantee you no American student has memorized the proper spelling of a word or anything resembling a multiplication table in many years. Now "education" means being diagnosed with ADD and social anxiety disorder and taking 'adaptive' tests so ridiculously easy that a decade or two ago a student five grade levels lower could have passed it without studying. Today's coddled and medicated students are congratulated for getting a C- on the same test.
Also, rote memorization of facts is generally (accurately) considered a characteristic of Asian school systems (at least in comparison to ours). If you want to criticize the American school system, go after our over-emphasis on creative thinking (without worrying about teaching children facts to think about creatively) and politically correct revisionism. Today's American students can write a poorly spelled and punctuated free-form essay about conditions in Japanese internment camps during World War II, but they can't tell you when WWII happened, why it happened, or which countries were on which side.

I didn't mean it as criticism. I consider it far superior to our own system, which seems purpose-built to ensure the world of Idiocracy is fully realized within a generation or two. I guess calling them out for too much memorization could be considered criticism from the perspective that no system is perfect, and that is the hand they were dealt.

insult me not! I am from New Zealand .
And yeah, I'm new. Been missing some sleep lately, so might be less than pleasant at times. Sorry about that, both prior occurrences and in advance.

this shitty thing needs to maintain it's own list of unread posts in a cookie which gets zapped only when the user presses a button that way if you accidentally refresh or hit back or click a link or ignore someone, your highlighting on the unread posts doesn't get blown away.

if I remember correctly, there are 11 cities or towns called Portland in various places in the United States.
it is not considered original to name your town Portland

there is basically always another town that shares the name of yours.
unless you're in England. there will be no other place called Trembly-on-Kent. what in the world, England. what. in. the. world.

Intercourse is near Blue Ball, PA. There is another nearby town called Bird-in-Hand, which doesn't sound particularly dirty at first, but if you do a good job using your imagination it can become dirty.

your entire family is crying right now
that eagle is weeping tears of joy for the sight of this wonderful contraption. as am I
'Round and 'round the wheel goes. What Beef will become, nobody knows!
Beef will come back as a drum machine that cannot be operated without the manual .
and then the strip will restart from the beginning a la "For Better Or Worse?"
FUCK THAT
Only if we are all Unfortunate Beings about to have out anger wheels cranked to the mammajamma. Set eye-lasers on Kill All Suck.
A comment left by ennuid was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by streever, fatbackbuckets, deovalente, Quiet_Drops)
But it would make sense how the wheel of anger is destructive to the whole process.
Not so much 'destructive' as 'fouling.' There are a similar set of gears at the bottom right as well, so it looks like the largest wheel was never intended to turn.
I don't expect you to turn, Mr. Gear. I expect you to die.

Goddamn assetbar and its insatiable hunger for plus signs! I should know better.
you could think that, but you'd be wrong.
daidai, a blank comment, if you please.
(i know you did it last comic, but humor a man.)
oh shit teller is doing it solo!
you tyrant.
cpnglxynchos, I'm sorry but I'm ignoring you. kinda sucks to have to do that because you're such a prolific poster and kinda cool, but your avatar is fucking annoying right now. If I wanted to watch TV, I'd own a TV.
i understand.
i will just have THIS guy as my avi.
..until i turn it back to the Beef timewarp where you can ignore me again.
we cool?
you get a chubby for this avatar
I've never been able to work out exactly what it is. Looks like [Solid] Snake on Me .
chubby for referencing my favorite video game series ever. (except i haven't played 4 yet. what, do i look like a hipster piece of shit that would own a PS3..?)
amway, from what you did with Snake's name, it seems that you actually do know, but on the off-chance you really don't (and for others playing at home,) it's the bad guy from A-Ha's video for Take On Me .
oh, yeah?
where?
Doesn't F4 turn off the animations?
maybe. I know in firefox the escape key stops the animations. but reloading the page turns them back on. it gets tedious.
I hope you can appreciate his new avatar at least
if I can't, will you beat me up with a pipe wrench?
yes
But... you're not daidai.
Unlike me.
and yet, it is you who will die, daidai.
Because I don't believe in too much of a good thing.
"Do you expect me to talk?"
"No, daidai, I expect you to die...die"

Dammit, I meant to reply to this thread here, but somehow it was posted at the end of the thread. Drat and fie!
Hey, it worked for Claris Works, why should it stop Onstad? https://bit.ly/fX2iw
In both such sets on gears at least one is not fully engaged. On the one coming off of the drive mechanism the disengaged gear is with the large wheel. This suggests a mechanism used before clutch plates is in use, wherein a pair of gears were mounted on a center pivot cantilever beam and so by pivoting that beam the gears could be alternately engaged to select forward or reverse, making the entire master wheel reversible. With anger the small gears are the ones not fully engaged, which means that when they slip they wear their own teeth, not those of the master gear, but in doing so they slow it down.
Chris Onstad: Yeah uh... what that guy said.
They could also be used for ratcheting - as long as the small gears are on a free arm they'll only block rotation in one direction.
y'all some engineers
awesome avatar/comment synergy there bro
Mostly, but he didn't insult them enough.
So anger is associated with grinding teeth?
That's about the size of it.
That's what she said!
Granularsilica, you always tell that one. There are other jokes you could be making. For example, there's the hilarious one your mother told me last night. We had a lovely evening.
Hard to resist ... running gag ... getting old, like me. Glad mom is still getting it on.
Must be weird trying to post on asset bar with your dad here.
roast beef's arrows are pointed toward END______T on the outer ring. any crossword puzzle experts want to take a stab at what that word's supposed to be?
Endearment
No, I think you're looking at it wrong. Each wheel has an arrow on it that is indicating a marker on the back thinger. On the set of outer markers that you're referring to, the wheel indicates "Virtue". The arrow that's pointing towards the unknown word is indicating "Introspective/Self-Obsessed" on the inner wheel.
...'thinger'?
what the hell are you, Winamp?

ENDOWMENT. Truly, I'm surprised you didn't get that, Dr. Manflesh.
A Freudian slip? Indicating [i]lack[/] of said "endowment"?
