The Ray Card Wednesday, July 6, 2005 • read strip Viewing 46 comments:

The Ray Card is both self-contradictory in date and awesome.

I think he means it expires in 2099...
It would be great to have my own credit card...

Man you know he just typed in 99 'cause that's the biggest number that will fit there.

it was also his jersey number in little league

I want to chubby you but that would ruin your perfect 99.

The temptation was too much, I suppose.

The phrase "non-trivial" portion of my assets has entered my vocabulary due to this. I also like how that is Ray's only reason not to have the teller.

Man understands himself and his weaknesses. "If there's a hottie there, I'm gonna hit on her." His trouble avoidance is to be admired.

It does not occur to him to hire a male teller.

But someday he might be tempted to look at that as a challenge

A comment left by petitegitan was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by _cheesekayke, rachel, goodgravy)

whoops! my bad!
I've got to use that phrase a lot lately...I'll even screw something up just to use it.

As soon as I find a place that makes me bumper stickers, I will hook you up.

a non-trivial portion of my assets would be the contents of my fridge.

three beers (two of them unopened), a couple store-brand 'kraft' singles, and a bottle of mustard?
that would be mine
and yes, the beers are about the only thing that would be considered a nontrivial portion of my assets

Why do you store opened beer in your fridge? I mean, once you've opened that sucker you pretty much have to finish in that sitting. It's like vodka; it goes bad once it's opened.

If you put wine in the fridge, does it stop it from turning alcoholic?

Well, it only turns into alcohol if you let it sit.

I am telling you from now, one year in the future, that storing bottled wine will not keep it from being alcoholic. The ethanol is already in the bottle, and cooling it will not make the alcohol disappear.
However, in the process of winemaking, yeast activity is retarded by cooler temperatures. I can see how there may be some confusion. I'm not sure which you were referring to in your comment, either.

I am pretty sure this comment is totally pointless and basically helps none. This is fine by me.

Sorry, like I said: Arrested Development reference .

I love Arrested Development, and I understood your reference.

Odei, on the other hand, seemed fairly genuine in his question.

what the hell are you talking about, are you trying to be helpful or sarcastic?

It's an Arrested Development reference .

A statue of Krishna and Radha from Bangladesh, and a mostly-empty bottle of CVS "Spectravite" brand multivitamins.

Q?

A!

Quentin

Or maybe Quintin.

Every time.

That picture is the perfect summary of Ray's financial success.

Hey Beef, I just started a new business venture, completely on accident!

I wonder why Ray needed a stunt man for his "The Rock Star Died at 27" party .

Beef's nails are always chewed down to the bottom.

Astute!

"Every time." brings all the laughs to the yard.

Roast Beef imagines Ray would apologize while slipping on a pile of his own money.

I love the double meaning that this strip pulls off with that line. Is beef talking about the picture on the card, or Ray's situation in life?

I love Ray's picture on the credit card. He is totally livin the life.

His picture proves that he falls ass0end into money. Figurativly AND literally.

"Life is freedom. Try it out."

What a great philosophy!

Ass in your pants has really made life freedom for Ray.

One of the comics that makes me laught out loud.
Because of the "The Ray Card. For Ray, By Ray. Every time" & "Whoops! My bad!"

Today's Blogs

Mr. Bear: Au revoir to the spring lamb.

Surely this is the next thing in credit card marketing.

Ray thinks slipping on money merits a "whoops"

So no one else thought the idea here was that Ray was so tacky and shameless that he made a credit card that speaks when held the right way? Because that is the thing that I thought.

I thought it was Roast Beef speaking in place of the picture of ray on the card, as evident by the smaller font size.
