Fuckin'

I'd love to have an enlarged, poster-sized version of that picture to hang on the sorts of walls which need to remind people of fuckin', such as spaceships and boardrooms.

I need it

Try Santa Cruz.

I live in Santa Cruz, you won't find no sign like that. What you will find is gum disease, expensive coffee, and stink.

Since when do you get gum disease from fuckin'?

I have thought of this also and relayed the idea to my achewood reading friends (who I will live with shortly) and I'm thinking I might just have to make it happen (in our living room) by means of my own craftiness.

Or a champagne room

No matter what a sign stolen from a cartoon cat's spaceship tells you, there is NO SEX in the Champagne Room.

Fuckin' is one of the main reasons that I went from a usually-reader to an always-reader. Where is the Fuckin' merch in the store??

With hindsight we see that Pat was overcompensating for his homosexuality with this decoration.

it could be that he wasn't gay yet.

assuming he had built this rocket before he turned 26.

Good point. You better research that, then come back and tell us the results.

based on when they attended high school, i would say that beef, ray and pat are around 26-28

This comic has the year 1992 in reference to the senior pictures of a girl they knew in high school

you figure, if they were 18 when the graduated, and they graduated in '92, '93, or '94, that puts them at 28, 29, or 30 in 2002.

which means:

pat was gay

so your hypothesis is likely

You have already received a fat research chubby, so I made sure you got a Turgid Investigative Journalism Chubby%u2122.

Damn you, assetbar. That's supposed to be a (TM) in superscript, by the way.

I respect your decision to actually do this.

Based on the dates in this strip, I had put their high school graduation around 1996.

This could mean that Pat was not yet gay.

please explain further

The strip mentions Ray having mix tapes of Alanis Morissette in High School. She didn't release a well-known album until 1995, so 1996 would be a reasonable graduation year.

This means that Pat could have been as young as 24 when he built the ship and, therefore, not homosexual.

You also must consider that Onstad undoubtedly has no fucking clue what his characters are going to do in the future. At the time he created this strip he was completely unaware of the transformation that would occur to Pat.

Beef might have invented the Alanis tapes as an anachronistic example of the sort of mix tapes Ray made.

OH MY FUCK if we cannot take everything written in a dialog bubble as the ABSOLUTE LITERAL TRUTH, WHAT CAN WE TRUST?!?

(which is my way of saying yeah man, good point.)

5 months late. What.

That, and what man who is secure in his heterosexuality needs more than 500 hours of free AOL?

The kind of man who wants to use AOL to look up porn.

Gay or not, that REALLY doesn't seem like the sort of thing Pat would decorate a room with, even if that room was two hundred thousand miles away from anyone he knew.

In space, no one wants AOL. Lot like here, actually.

Pat doesn't like craisins, but will gladly eat cranberries and raisins. What's the deal?

He probably considers Craisins to be poser imitations of the real thing, and thus unworthy of his time and jaws.

Even worse are the cranberries that you get which have been artificially orange flavoured. Even thinking about them is making me angry.

Craisins are sweetened with refined sugar. No vegan would eat them.

Vegans don't eat refined sugar? Where's the animal-oppressing system involved in that?

I mean, I know vegans who don't eat sugar (or wheat, or soy, or fucking anything), but I thought they were unusual even for veguloids.

Hell, I was raised vegetarian, but I find veganism weird. Cheese is one of life's great pleasures, along with Fuckin'.

The sugar refining process involves some bones, or something like that. I heard that.

In space, no one can hear you scream. Except AOL.

It would seem more likely Pat would display a poster of two persons engaging in intercourse with a line through it.

Aren't craisins the same thing as dried cranberries?

Perhaps the curse hasn't kicked in yet.

See above!

man i need that for my house, hang it in my bathroom freak out my friends.

I find the 'fuckin' picture suspicious

Nobody wants hateful, useless, pernicious free AOL. Free AOL is like free wedgies.

Oh boy! Free wedgies!?

The Fuckin' poster could also double as a mudflap.

BEEP

What the hell? This space ship is like the dang TARDIS.

"I don't dig on craisins."
Then why the fuck are they in his spaceship?!? The mind reels!

He probably read an article where Bono was talking about how much he loved Craisins.

No matter where you are, or how far you run, they are always there first. They will ALWAYS find you. And they will give you a CD you will not use.

The things I would do for a "Fuckin'" poster.

Man they should use aol as some form of corporal punishment, judge hands down the decree of six years of aol. Harsh man, harsh.

The footprints seem to indicate that during all this time on the moon Roast Beef has only ventured outside once.

Don't blame him, really. What's there to see? It's THE MOON. Once you get past the awesomeness of low gravity and the fact that you can do Shoryukens , all you have left is the moon. And that ain't much.

The drawing and script on the Fuckin' poster remind me of the Perry Bible Fellowship.

It looks remarkably like the PBF strip Eden , in line and such.

I've had astronaut ice cream; it was like compressed Nesquik that dissolved into goo. Good times in Atlanta.

The whole time he was on the moon he only wrote 'java'?

last two panels are priceless.

lame punchline but the Fuckin' picture warrants a 4

Fived for "Fukin'"

Somehow the style of the "F" in "Fuckin'" makes the fact that the "Fuckin'" poster makes this strip funny.
