Beef gets bent Friday, September 13, 2002 • read strip Viewing 63 comments:

isn't it though?

I have had this conversation with a pint glass many a time

The pint glass was of little solace

What's fucked up is that I am going to college right now, and i can see myself rushing unstoppably into Beef's position.

I have already finished college and entered into Beef's position. I have been living it for the past four years. There is no alcohol to seek false solace in, however.

Tell it to the pipes, pal.

Chubby for Fry.

dude, it so is

For me, the look on Beef's face in the last panel makes this a five.

That and his complete turn around from unbridled joy to uncontrollable rage.

I have to disagree with you on that. strongly. The Beef in my mind has a much nicer voice.

I've always hesitated to get in on all the "this character's voice would be...." hoopla, mainly because I'm scared to death of an animated version of this. If a comic as amazing as The Maakies can be all but ruined in that medium (as it was), I just hate thinking about what it would do to this. I know it's tempting, but some awesome things are better left alone. However, if there ever was such a thing, I don't believe that Jason Alexander would be the answer. It's just one man's opinion, but he may be the farthest thing possible from appropriate, really. If I had to pull one off the top of my head, I think I'd go with Crispin Glover. Hmm. I guess this game is kind of fun.

S'true, I was hunting for the right voice for 'Beef, and Jason Alexander fits the bill.
Still on a 'Duckman' tip, how about Gregg (Cornfed Pig) Berger, as the voice of Liebot. How could you not beleive him with a voice like that?

I would go with the dude who voiced Niko in Grand Theft Auto 4 .. but then i am an uneducated teenager, so that is to be expected.

i wouldn't try to say what his voice sounds like, but that is not it for sure.

God, I say this about 10 times a week

"All hot and crispy as the dickens ."
But the last panel gets this comic a 5/5 in Beefs unbridled rage. Makes for a great desktop or msn icon pic.

as the Dickens.

Charles Dickens was voted Hottest and Crispiest Author by Cosmopolitan magazine in 1838, 1839, and 1841.

Man, fucking computer science. Drove me to drink too, Beef.

You know a character is so perfectly developed when you hear a word and imminently associate it with that character.

Roast Beef = Depression.

When did I say you could sum up Roast Beef in one word?

Uhh hey listen, this is your concious speaking .. and uuhh.. you know that nice old lady across the street? She's planning on killing you, so we suggest you go kill her first. Aaaannd don't forget to remove the head or she might come back as a zombie.

then maybe you could learn some geometry

Yes, well, I didn't do very well in that class.

In my defense, my teacher had a disgusting mole on her forearm that was very distracting.

Calculate its radius with all that geometry
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS, DON'T YOU BOY?
*flies off*

I love geometry
It is extremely awesome

Look at how dumb you are, tekende. Just look.

rectangular rhombuses

rhombi?

the boy has had too much tequila and he is just FURIOUS

The Livid Pedro!

Yes, I am relatively sure that is the reference he was making.

this is what i meant.

Uhh, that last panel is basically what 30% of computer science graduates think.

And his alcohol tolerance is equivalent to about 90% of CS students.

Actually, I find that most compscis can drink as hard as anyone, but I am indeed a lightweight drinker.

It's amazing to me how many computer science people have revealed themselves here. Dang. Am I the only one who can hardly work this thing? I'm a Ray in a sea of Beefs.

i go to business school. serious business school.

"Comedy: Writing and Performance."
And yes, I'm aware that it's not the most useful diploma in the world.

Fuck useful. Look at where it gets these computer science kids. CRYING INTO THEIR GLASSES!

i.e. I have a Creative Writing/Literature Degree.

Theatre. Emphasis on dramaturgy. *sigh*

Why is the fake bar running a tab?

I don't believe it is a fake bar as such. Ray's Place has been refashioned to look more like a treasure.

Molly should have paid attention from heaven for this one; forget that lamp you're always forcing on him, girl, and give him a DVD of Cheers and a pepperoni pizza.

Hee.
Alt text in full english reads literally: "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that SWING DANCING FORBIDDEN."

Onstad must have watched (or perhaps remembered) Swing Kids sometime in early September 2002.

heil swing!

I agree beef. Going on the second bachelor's degree and it is all shit.

Dick Van Patten owes me an apology!

It's fuck your buddy. Cheat on your wife. Call your mother on Mother's Day. Charlie, it's all shit.
