Lyle/Ray interaction is in some ways my favorite. They seem to understand each other on a base level. When they talk, so much goes unsaid.

Lyle likes alcohol. Ray has alcohol. It's not a complex interaction...

Reminds me of a girlfriend I once had actually..

Was she the one who had alcohol, or the one who liked it?

Yes.

your avatar really complements this

I had these two friends who were basically Lyle and Ray. Hadn't met each other, did so through me, kinda had a bit of awkward conversation at a party. The Ray ended up making out with the Lyles girlfriend and the Lyle ended up getting so drunk he puked in a hat.

The moral of this story is don't make out with other peoples girlfriends or vomit into hats, especially if it's my god damned hat

A baseball cap can hold the average puke

Spike was a man who lived in hard times. I have a lot of respect for that dude.

he came from Circumstances

He also had questionable relations with cacti.

And some mixed feelings concering the post office considering the ALT text

Panel 2 is what I would say if you asked me about Sangria, but I know it is wrong.

Is that right.

Actually I'm pretty sure he's right.

God that is sad.

I thought that it was Spanish, not Mexican, though.

It is Spanish, not Mexican, and I'm not sure it was so much religious fervor as "man, this shit is so tasty we're naming it after JESUS!" but I weren't there

everything is spain is religious.

ray in a sombrero is an image which needs to be used more often.

Ray knows a gentleman serves Mexican wine with a sombrero, French wine with a beret, and German wine with a single bullet.

tequila is mexican wine?

The word "Sangr�a" litterally means "a bleeding," so one would suspect that Ray is right.

Of course he is, haven't you ever seen that Sanford & Son boxset commercial?

Dude, Spike was Snoopy's brother, not just some cousin.

Yeah, I forgot about spike until now. TO MY ARCHIVES!

the ENTIRE joke here is in the alt text: Spike was on government disability, when he worked at the post office some dude threw a rock real hard at his legs

Careful. If they figure out that's a Family Guy reference, you're in for it.

as long as there are people with lolcats for avatars, and no concept of irony, i feel fine.

Was there ever any investigation into the rock-throwing being a hate crime against hispanics/ postal workers/beagles? A great injustice may have been wrought.

More to the point, where was Pat that day?

I bet Pat hates postal workers.

Haha, I think the alt text should have been worked into the comic somehow.

Isn't it? Worked in, I mean?

It's worked in good and tight.

That's what she said.

Almost sounds like they're not even talking about the same person. Have you ever had one of those conversations?

That, and they obviously know nothing about the character. They're just making up complete bullshit.

Drinkn' sombrero

Charles Schulz couldn't write Minorities very well

Pat brings over some sangria almost four years before the Gladdington Castle thing. Sounds like it was gonna happen, curse or no

That... quickly went a place I did not expect.
