Barry's a Complainer Thursday, January 22, 2004 • read strip Viewing 36 comments:

I'm sayin' issues, man. Beef is from circumstances, though. He's got pride on the line to hold his shit down. Ain't no complainer gonna rain down on Beef's rained out parade. I'm sayin'.

Which is why a dude holds down the complaints. The stranger you talk to may have his own Circumstances and not care for yours.

it is something i say:

'be careful what you say. everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about'

The cat initially listens to the fish because the fish also seems to be from circumstances. This proves to be false.

I resent the implication that only idiots get deported unintentionally. It happens to felons too.

A comment left by molesticide was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by trisha, _cheesekayke, deovalente)

how dare you say you like something. People will lame you for that

Ive met guys like Barry - you've gotta be firm from the get go

Usually that involves telling them firmly to go away.

Another Beef realization. Like the bead shop. "Oh my God, this is a Boring Place!"

Damn you for posting what I was thinking

Stop stealing my brain thoughts

Fish drink Fish Tale beer.

Nice try with the html.

I love the absolute contempt implied by your avatar.

Barry's entire body is about the same size as the beer he is drinking. Also, I fucking hate that guy.

I have met such men as Barry. They are always tiresome, and they search for passive, quiet men (like Beef) to inflict themselves upon.

All this is true, but I must say that there's something about a conversation in which I'm not expected to reciprocate that is undeniably alluring to me. I don't seek out such exchanges, but I know how to deal with them when they find me. This is valuable.

5 for the alt text.

Absolutely. That's what the INS should be all about. Deporting complaining,carping.....dicks.

Barry Bass stuffs your ears with his thick bass steaks

I want to punch Barry Bass. He is a complainer.

It'd be pretty great if Barry was eaten.

and every time you took a bite, someone shot a dove.

they need to arrange that shit. cats like fish, right?

I know how you feel Beef, I know how you feel

I love the juxtaposition between the alt text in this comic and the previous one. "BARRY BASS is a bass worthy of your attention" followed immediately by "Barry Bass is such an idiot that he accidentally got deported"

That slow realization as to the character of your new friend... oh what a familiar feeling.

Oh my god
Eric's a laugher
Maybe I could make his death look like an accident

I laughed at Barry Bass working in a purse factory, because a purse is the egg sac of a shark or stingray. I have to wonder if this was an intentional marine biology joke?

I like watching Hobbes ponder this

I enjoy Keyboard-head Strong Bad's enthusiasm about it.

yes, all over this vicinity.

i love how, in the browser history this is titled as "CHINA ... NEEEEDS .. COUCHES" but that doesnrt have anything to do with the strip at all .. unless China had a couch shortage in January 2004

Were you recently looking at that strip where the couch goes to China?

Nope.. not that i recall. In fact i think it was months ago when i read that strip..

Barry is what Anton LaVey would have called a "psychic vampire." That was my favorite chapter in the Satanic Bible.
