Beef's mom only buys her meth from the classiest of establishments. You will not find her buying meth from the greeter at Walmart.

...nor from the vending machines in the shady corners of the dumpy downtown strip mall.

. . . nor from hot dumbasses with card tables in any retail entryway.

they have meth vending machines? wtf?!

I take it you've never been to Japan.
The answer to any "they have ____ vending machines?" question is always "yes".

Soticoto, we are going through the archives in a most parallel fashion. Except that I lurk, whilst you leave a trail of "5 hours ago" comments. Fascinating!

And so Schroedinger's cat breaks the quantum uncertainty by coming out of lurk long enough to inform us of said lurking.


In any case, yes, I have been rampantly rampaging through the archives over the past few days... likely even more noisily than the first time or two put together, compensating for the year or two where I was unable to post more than one comment a day.
Coincidentally, the last strip I got up to today was most likely the one responsible for that limitation being put in place.

Yeah... But to be honest, the capital P for Punishment makes the similarities between Beef and Nice Pete even stronger. Beef's Mom Mom might not have had a weepin' eye, and his dad may have just died on the living room floor of their econo apartment instead of making Beef shoot the dog or killing him after getting pubics, but the two are definitely kindred spirits of the weirdest sort.

Ray's apology is a sign of things to come.

Incompetent male apologies set in at an early age.

Here's a six hundo.

7-11? Meth from Neiman Marcus' piano player? That is what I call circumstances.

Does 7-11 even have a phone to call? Why would anyone call there?

"Hello, I just wanted to see if you had cigarettes in stock. You do? Good. Can you hold them for me?"

you got slim jims? is your microwave working?

Yes. And no.

Hella circumstances.

Amen.

When did Beef stop wearing glasses? And pants?

And hair?

Wearin' pants at their age is like wearin' three Swatches and poppin' a boner at your grandma's house.

Not good?

I initially assumed Ray was using 7-11 to show how extremely reluctant his mom is to use the phone, and I was wondering why 7-11 of all places

It's because Beef's mom works there.

he's saying that the store hires a piano player to play inside of it. this isn't so uncommon to do in high end department stores.

A genuine "thank you" for clearing that up for me. That having been said, I kind of wish I was right.

Ohhh that is a well funny way of thinking of it.

BTO ain't got no piano player! Just some guitars, a lumberjack and a milk jug

you're thinking of Jackyl maybe...

the music's pretty dumb, but dude plays a chainsaw solo around 1:40

Roast Beef, I love your hair.

Do you also love Jeff Goldblum's hair?

Discuss?

Meth dealing piano player: One of the greatest off screen characters in anything, ever.

Ray wears his sunglasses at night.

One time I watched Robocop with my friends and I was sure someone was going to call my mom and tell her I saw the titties.

Wow. I'm a little disappointed in myself that I don't remember any titties in Robocop.
