The Aibo has given Roast Beef balls.

First a lung, now balls; this is the natural order of Things You Get From Aibos.

his whole cardio-pulmonary system, actually.

Perhaps the fact that Beef is in fact part AIBO helps strengthen his bond with Weldon.

My boss is named Mr. Weldon pass it on

No.

Lets just skip to the end of this game:
I could only save Mr.Wadaan, a Pashtun.

I guess Beef has a deep connection with Aibos after all, he is part one.

I don't know why, but I think my favorite thing about Roast Beef is that he owns an Enos Slaughter rookie card.

The thought of Grimace as a rapist beats 'em all. Pure, unleaded nightmare fuel.

He's only a grapist

He only rapes grapes?

That would explain why he's purple.

It really wouldn't, you know.

grapist --> gray rapist I assume. Gray rape = taking sexual advantage of someone under uncertain conditions (gray as in not black and white).

He's Grape colored

Huhhuuhhuhuhuhuhuuhuhuuhhuhhuhuhuhuhuuhuhhhuuhuhuhuh

And he's a rapist. I swear.

Kids these days.

More like Occam's razor, motherfucks.

You are not a kid, but an Occam's razor.

Admitting that I might have misunderstood, that doesn't sound like a step up.

I would have thought he forced grapes into the orifices of other unwilling beings.

Oh wow it's like I was drunk or exhausted. This comment is so e-tarded.

Youtube "the grapist" and watch the first video there. Classic.

Why thank you.

Hedonism-bot is heavily underrated anyway; keep representin'.

I found some of those oldies in the street when I was a kid. Slaughter, the Waners, Wagner, Cobb.

My mom gave away all my cards to a kid down the street.

The Sadness of life.

I'm sure I would have frittered them away in equally pathetic fashion if I'd had the chance.

A cookie for who can tell me other comics in which Roast Beef busts out the period at the end of his sentences.

the previous one. ha!

Beaten like carpaccio.

Well done sir.

You don't know, do you?

That's because there are none.

That's because there are one

Fixed. Just saying a period is six kinds of serious with Beef, is all I'm saying.

I don't know why this has received four lames; it must be because it is so bang on the money .

That is another thing we all should say.

So, is he yelling at the closed door, or what?

Yeah Beef! stick it to the Hag. I also like how Beef announces the news to Ray.

Ray is naked in panel six.

That is some sweet beans professorhazard

Another thing you'll notice is that everyone can see Beef's changed, somehow. Ray's expression shows it, and Ray's grandmother definitely saw something new, or she wouldn't have gotten to the bedroom door in time to slam it shut. He's just become more assertive, I guess.

Beef's grandmother?

And you're right. Confidence, maybe? God knows it'd be one of the first times Beef's been able to feel it, poor guy.

Enos Slaughter could not have a better name.

What about "Urban Shocker"?

TAKE IT SLEAZY!

Word, definitely the best part.

creeks DESERVE exclamation points

Panel 3 is the winner in this comic.

I brought you this casserole, neighbor.

Didn't this happen in The Fresh Prince of Bel Air? Man, Achewood makes the Fresh Prince look like Bill Cosby.

The fact that Gramma K instilled a fear of creeks into Beef makes me incredibly sad, as they were clearly a source of comfort to the dude.

At least he seems to have overcome that particular hurtle, recently .

More than that people should just plain not be afraid of creeks. Creeks are not a thing to be afraid of. They are a source of joy and exploration for children. A place teenagers engage in awkward make-outs and later, perhaps, awkward sexing of various types and flavors. They flood slightly and mean you need to go down and get the pumpkins now or they'll be totally ruined. They are a sign of the times as all know when the creek is rising it is a portent of trouble. They are one of the primary features of Hazzard County.

Creeks = Awesome

You got a chubby for creeks (from me and for them).

Oh, that whole sentence just doesn't pan out...

I was being, perhaps, a bit disingenuous as although I enjoyed creeks in my childhood I would now want nothing at all to do with a creek. Creeks are emblematic of rural places and rural places are, by definition, terrible places.

Still, I can acknowledge the importance of creeks otherwise. They are definitely not to be feared.

funny how weldon never shows up again

Onstad: Truffles

Man I hope I'm soon friends with someone with a poolshed so's I can use that line

I've done that taking food from strangers. "Hi. My name's charchar and we are friends." *Grabs handful of fries*

Twice as funny is you imagine charchar then escaping with a hasty Funny Walk.

I read this post yesterday and waited to resond until after trying it out.

I tripped.

You are a bad influence.

Chubby for making some angsty teenagers laugh.

Dude, no-one can effectively emulate the Funny Walk! Is this not something that every budding young Monty Python fan learns early on?

I dared to dream.

I am so glad that the alt-text explained the fear or creeks.

As does this blog entry by Molly:

Enos Slaughter is maybe most remembered for his "mad dash" from first to home in the 1946 series:

Maybe it is, like, a metaphor or something.

SCREW YOU, BBCODE! FUCK YOU!
[IMGS OFF]

It would be so awesome to hit the road with a kit like that.

I was taking a drink just as I read the last panel.
There is pepsi all over my monitor.

Is it just me, or does anyone else crack up whenever they see "Soon." printed on that big black header?

Perhaps it is the tone of voice I imagine it being said in, one full of otherworldly portentousness and a distinctly sinister air.

I like to pretend Ray and Roast Beef don't know each other just to make this comic funnier.

Sweet sweet catharsis

If you took out every single comic referencing Beef and Ray knowing each other this would be as good an introduction as any.

I wish someone would knock on my door and say "I live in your poolshed now. Hi."

Because it would mean you had a poolshed, or because you are dangerously lonely?

Both!
