I like how Ray explains to Teodore that Robert Smith is The Cure's "main singer". Like this is something Robert Smith would actually say to people on the phone (I don't actually know for certain that he doesn't, btw, so if Robert is reading this then I'm sorry for misrepresenting your phone-habits).

Of course, before each session of tail-getting there will be at least ten minutes of semi-coherent, drunken explanation about exactly what the fuck that is on my arm. I have zero doubt that in combination with Onstad's artistry, my blatant awesomeness in willing to get a tattoo, and the considerable charm exhibited in my lengthy explanation, the woman in question will actually catch fire from sheer arousal.

That always throws me. I want to imagine Ray is doing a particularly good impression of Robert Smith's voice every time I read this strip, but that is clearly not the case and I can't imagine what Ray doing a bad impression of Robert Smith would be.
Not that I know what Ray is supposed to sound like normally, but I have settled on a voice for it, at least.

Yesterday, Robert Smith turned 50.
It is said that Robert Smith celebrates his birthday by hiring a homeless man to play 'Pictures of You' on a rusting musical saw. He sits at the head of a long table set with service for twelve, each plate containing a sole piece of driftwood draped in a wilted daffodil. Eleven seats are empty.
He does not smile, and he does not cry; he slowly spills the contents of a rare bottle of pinot noir onto a crisp white tablecloth. The stain spells:
'N O T Y E T ,
A N O T H E R Y E A R'.
