if he ever malfunctions and tries to destroy earth, simply clap loudly twice and he turns off.

"And once every two years or so, you'll need to de-frag his lungs."

Has Beef crashed yet? This ought to come up sometime.

Wait for it, gents, we still have a whole weddingful of disasters ahead of us.

SPOILER COMING NEXT!

Remember how far ahead of time Ray's decrepeit phone was set up? Well, I imagine that this is the setup of all setups.

Theodor's death being called years in advance was a pretty great setup.

yeah I am SO waiting for this to happen

Man Beef and Click Bot are basically like cousins now

click robot ain't my cousin dogg its not like we are calling each other up at such as christmas

But what's really important: is Beef's cardiopulmonary system bluetooth?

Roast Beef is a cyborg.

Roast Beef is a transhuman. Or... Trans-feline.

Does this mean Beef might bring about a technological Singularity in a possible apocalypse scenario?

Well, if infinitely increasing intelligence is gonna start somewhere, might as well be a god damn depressed cat.

I hope Beef doesn't crash at his own wedding.

WEDING CRAHSERS LOL!!!!1

The irony that the suicidal one is projected to live the longest by far is tangible.

Unfortunately the doc ain't exactly right

Hmm... I don't know how I feel about this comment. I would usually chubby for observational skills, but pointing out how short Beef will live always makes me sad.

Yeah... I like to think that that particular comic is outside of Achewood canon, or that Onstad will conveniently ignore continuity, or SOMETHING, ANYTHING, that will let Beef live.

I love that cat, man... I identify with him as if he were such as my pixel-based brother.

Why? Just because he dies doesn't mean he stays dead. How many Achewood people have died and stayed dead? None that we know of, and even the ones we suspect are gone for good could be viewed as just having not come back yet.

Hmmm... I suppose you're right about that. The unpleasant finality of it sort of made me overlook that.

What's it matter? He wasn't projected to have died until like 2052. That means even if he did die then, we would have still gotten to hang with him for something like 42 years.

Yeah we'd probably get sick of him after this amount of time anyways, right guys?

Just kidding.

It'd actually be kind of interesting to see Beef become a singer and watch the trip that comes from it.

Who can say it is his death? The white X with a black background may only be... divorce?

Damn, I'd completely forgotten how Beef was revived. I already made my Apple joke on the [https://m.assetbar.com/achewood/uua97HWqc#comment_10]Click Robot[/url] strip.

God damn it anyway

Is he suffering? Does Dr. Andretti need to finish the job?

The title of this strip indicates that Ray's AIBO sacrifice was about a six hundo. That is class money .

You know, I also hope Beef doesn't crash at his own wedding. If that day ever comes.

yeah....this was already posted...kinda lame there.

two months before even.

There is never any future mention about his cardiopulmonary system

I want that small hole in my chest. Do you think it works for hangovers? Mabe Ray should get one too...

Man what the dogg the strip where he tells Ray he needs the AIBO lung and Ray has to pick an AIBO to kill is missing from the archives.

Nope, it's just further back than you expected probably. https://m.assetbar.com/achewood/uuabpbWkQ
