You are astonishingly mistaken.
The depressed cat dies many times.

What does a shirt that says "lifestyle" represent?

It's probably a plug for that band Lifestyle which is in the Radio Achewood section.

I was hoping that Teador was actually promoting the concept of having a lifestyle. It would be a Positive Thing.

Gotta start trying harder.

IS HE DEFINITELY GOING TO DIE?

DEFINITELY OR ONLY MAYBE?

wait...

what did you just say? i can't even comprehend it.

and of course, by "just" i meant three months ago.

Is it me, or does Ray sound like Arthur from support group in this one?

Alt text: www.lifestyleland.com - like duran duran but without the limos

thier shimmery gloomy dance-y "emotions"-rock is rather pleasant to listen to.

This is Major Beef to Ground Control: I'm stepping through the door

and uh i'm floating in the most dang peculiar way

Your avatar really sells that comment.

planet earth is blue and there's nothing i can do, such as help

I love how much old-school Ray waved his arms around. I miss that.

I also like Ray's elbows . . . very knobby!

Nothing like projecting, eh ray?

The way Ray explains it to Teodor makes it sound like they all expected this to be the logical progression - when Roast Beef cannot take it anymore, he will eventually fly into outer space. Like it isn't so much the reaction that surprised them, as how soon it came.

The stupid thing is it was more Ray's fault than Pat's fault.

I do love the "For shame pat!" line though.

"LIFESTYLE"

hey guys I am also a fan of the classical music such as the likes of adagios and nocturnes

Arguing what a minuet was when in private from teachers? I still posit that it is a fake concept.

Beef is hella nervous in panel 1 and it only gets worse as he hits what little atmosphere the moon has in panel 2....

Help a brother out Pat!

he's so nervous he's making the chair and the console shake.

Panel 2 reminds me of Contact.

I'M OK TO GO

Beef uses punctuation when nervous.

Or maybe so his words won't float out into space. Which is why I always prefer it.

Ray has temporarily adopted the persona of a finger-pointing angel of recrimination, such as one might find standing on a bluff over-looking the sea in a Victorian novel.

Shame! Shame on you, and your children, and your children's children, Pat!

Man, panel 5 Teodor looks like he is totally preparing to remove his head, and it's sort of freaking me out.

a chubby for truth.

I find Teodor and Ray's interactions hilarious in ths strip.

I love how Ray thinks Beef is depressed basically just because Pat is sort of an asshole at this point.

I love Ray with my entire heart.
