Hearing Back from Leon Sumbitches Monday, March 12, 2007 • read strip Viewing 72 comments:

a spoon full of email helps the medicine go down

"What?"

the cat can't believe what he is writing

I think when he says "What?" it's referring to how obscure he's being, from talking about bringing down internet pornography, to going off on a tangent about being an amateur historian of the automobile industry. The quote marks indicate he is quoting Sumbitches, who would be reading the email, all like, "What?"

95% of American men are amateur historians of the automobile industry.

Their reasoning is they know who said "You can have any color as long as it's black."

Walter P. Chrysler?

Sir Galaxie G.T. Thunderbird III

...I always thought that was Ford Prefect.

Fun fact: The Model T was actually offered in many colours from 1908 to 1914, and again from 1926-27. All T's produced between 1915 and 1925 were black, because it is a cheap, fast drying colour.

Amateur automotive historian? FIE! I've got books and books on this shit, and a wingback chair to peruse them at my leisure.

Batman?

That's what she said.

malcolm x.

I only frequent Christian burrito cafes. As I cradle the burrito in my hand just as Abraham did for the lamb whenst Yonnie was lain at his feet, I keep The Lord and His Son in my heart as I absolutely tear into some of that rich barbacoa nonsense.

I didn't understand that. But I liked it!

...A phrase usually reserved for one's childhood discovery of masturbation...

For me it was that basucally that followed up by OH GOD I AM SO ASHAMED OF ME RIGHT NOW.

It's okay; plenty of other Catholics have learned how to cope in everyday society.

Wow.. you really rubbed me out.

proclaim on that burrito!

Holy Mole!

genius!

A handful of grated cheddar cheese and a few diced jalapenos will go far in classing up your average corn-muffin mix. Make a cinnamon/honey compound butter with a dash of cayenne pepper to spread! MMM!

cinnamon/honey butter with cayenne pepper is the best spread in the entire universe.

Why thank you.

Instachub for Cayenne Pepper : Greatest spice in the known Universe.

I am allergic to cayenne pepper. It makes me die.

Then you should not eat the butter mentioned above.

I am definitely going to make that butter and put it on toast right now. Thank you, internet.

Please accept this chubby on my behalf, Mr. hellofyellin.

Chubby for Strong Sad avatar-comment synergy

Well... tell me when your birthday is and I'll bake you a cake.

Comment/avatar synergy! You deserve Anthony Bordain.

Why don't people write stuff like this back to the scammers? How can they call bullshit on that without indirectly calling bullshit on themselves?

Oh but they do! https://www.419eater.com - they engage in bogus dialogue with scammers to waste their time and money. There's some pretty hilarious stuff on here.

Okay, that site is pretty awesome. Ray, if only you had asked you a photo: https://www.419eater.com/images/trophy_room/luthman2(t).jpg

Or one of these:

Bahaha, this is amazing. I've always wanted to do something like this.

This one is great, scroll down to the fake Bank Forms.


Chubbied for the loss of many of hours, and curse you i have work in 90 minutes!

I would eat Christian burritoes.

Are they made with real Christians?

Mmmm, Christina Ricci...

Thoughts of Christina Ricci keep me stiff all night.

B.W.,A.H.B.P.
Brian Wheat, As Has Been Proven

Oh my God, thank you. You just made the comic even better for me.

For some reason, the "B.W." makes me want to say Brian like "Bwian". And then say "pwoven" instead of "proven". What the fuck is wrong with me.

I have a vewy good fweind in Wome named Biggus Dickus.

Nice that the e-mail alert changes each time, from "morning" to "night."

I think the rating is a little low considering the awesomeness of scamming the scammer...

christ as he waited for robert?

I love how Leon Sumbitches increases the holiness of his "Yours in Christ" in an attempt to regain Ray's favor.

St Robert is the patron saint of haircuts that take too long. Can I rate this 6?

Does he bless the cutter or the cuttee. Or does he merely lend his gravitas to the act?

ray you rascal

Panel 1 could probably be a standalone.

I love the Brian Wheat As Has Been Proven acronym.

it took me until this strip to realize that ray was never singing -- that's the sound his computer makes when he gets e-mail! WHAAAT?

Krusty Brand Cornbread Mix.

I feel that there is a future in Christian burrito restaurants in Africa. NO OTHER CHAIN HAS THE CHRISTBRAND.

Onstad: BACONSPIEL 1

I really thought Ray was falling for this at first. Good to see his is smarter than the average bear (cat).

And then I read the rest of the arc.

Oh Dear, Mr. Smuckles. Oh Dear.

B.W., A.H.B.P. = Bald Wheels, Also Has Bald Pomeranian? um

?
idk but it is so true that no one on the internet spells "losing" correctly. Ever.

Brian Wheat, As Has Been Proven.

The common occurrence of "loosen" makes me want to stab people. Fo' reals. WHY WOULD IT HAVE TWO OS. THE WORD "LOSE" DOES NOT HAVE TWO OS. WHY WOULD THAT BE THE CASE FOR THE PRESENT PARTICIPLE. YOU FUCKING IDIOT.

high FIVE.

I love that the e-mail alert goes from "I smoke to joints in the morning" to "I smoke two joints in the afternoon" and so on every time he gets a new e-mail.

Ray probably dropped hell of ducats on that

two joints, even

a pool sesh with Beef and some Stellas.

come on, people. it ain't computer sci...

okay, it isn't ROCKET science.

Actually it kinda goes from "in the afternoon", to "in the night".

Large!

Panel 5: total bullshit or intense foresight?

Also hello everyone this is my first post.

I love how in this arc they are both trying to one-up each other on the christ thing.

TAP TAP TAP
TING!
