I started here half an hour ago, and just finished reading a biography of Dorothy Parker.
I think it went russian reversal -> Yakoff Smirnoff -> antimetabole -> "Too fucking busy, and vice versa" -> Dorothy Parker, but there were numerous side-tangents as well.
You have enlightened me, sir.

Also, I like the use of hair in Achewood; Beef has long, scraggly Jello-Biafra hair in his youth, but inexplicabley looks like a regular cat in his middle-age, and then has facial hair when he's older.

My remaining puzzlement is why we can't hear Yakov in the final panel on the left. Is it because Beef has the sound down? Does Beef not have his hearing aid in? Is it representative of the fact that this future will not actually occur? Or is Yakov revealing some information about the future that we aren't capable of processing? (Would the population of the 50s been ready for Bea Arthur?)
