True, but any "bloo bloo bloo" is only secondary to that panel where he's got the "jelly feeling". That makes me giggle like a five year old on coke.

Well, Phillipe's "coke binge" was him stealing one of Teodor's cokes to write his article, with hillarious results. I'm opting for that one, as opposed to a depressing one.
Also, you have an amazing avatar. If only there were a way to depict him eating a scotch egg.

The "real" answer to Ray's question is that circles can't fall through their own diagonal, whereas a square or a triangle can- a square manhole has a diagonal greater than a square manhole cover's side.
It is often claimed that circles are the only such shape, but this claim is false- Reuleaux triangles , for example, have the same property, and this is claimed as a real-world example, although it looks all the world like a rounded off triangle to me.
Incidentally, Reuleaux triangles have the property that they can be used to drill square holes; go to www.howround.com and click on "Applications of non-roundedness".
The Real reason for primarily round manholes is still disputed.

If the covers are round, there is no way they could fall through the hole, no matter how they are placed, as the radius of the cover will never be able to slip through the hole, thus stopping the horrible deaths of many a municipal city worker and giant mutant sewer rat.

I like that the tears are just constantly pouring down Ray's face, like an anime character who's crying but not really upset, like they just got turned down by a hot girl or punched in the face or something. In Achewood, it really gets across the senseless depression of the Volvo of Despair.
