Weird to see, even two years into the strip, that humans still have influence or direct control over the animals' lives.
Like the stuff about Ray's owner and his show-cat past, the 'lost cat' poster offering a reward for him and, of course, the fact that Ray got his bozack flayed, apparently against his will.
The other changes and evolutions in the setting and characters are easy to take in stride, but I find these references curiously jarring.
It's bittersweet.

All playing an old Sinatra 45 the dude was conceived to.
The bed was built in 1936 by the sweat of his grandfather's brow.

My parents' house has a harpsichord that was built by my grandfather and great-grandfather, from boards they made from a cherry tree they chopped down.
We're very traditional in our family.

Flaws? Carl wanted a family. He wanted to be a dad. Why use an effective condom when you want to have kids?

I love how this looks like one of the 'funny pathos' achewood strips, but then Ray's "what?" just makes it collapse into absurdity...is Onstad subverting his own conventions here?

I was at the WWII museum in new orleans and one of the exhibits was a pack of condoms
they used them to prevent dirt and water from getting into their barrels
