The very idea of imaginary friends named Woman-Man and Mr. Tears, given what we know of Roast Beef's undifferentiated state at birth, is absolutely fantastic.

Nice catch, I'd forgotten the connection there. But holy crap is that ever morbid and depressing. What do they look like, I wonder?
But strip is probably some of the worst insanity on Beef's part - I mean he knows they're imaginary right? Did he forget he's introducing them to Philippe while he "learns" of the suicides?
Just amazing.

My older brother had three imaginary girlfriends when he was little. Their names were Lisa, Chisa, and Mareesa. One day he came into the house and said they had been run over by a car. He never spoke of them again.

My sister sat on mine; my imagination was vivid enough to conceputalize the gore squishing out in every direction as he was unmercilessly crushed. It was a Pikachu named John James.
Looking back now, it was pretty hilarious.

It's even stranger when you consider that these characters, with their blogs, newsletters and other unbelivably detailed aspects of their lives outside the strip, are in most senses Chris Onstads imaginary friends.

Roast Beef's surprise coupled with the surrealist elements of the comic could make me almost believe his invisible friends really are just friends that are invisible, not imaginary. I realize that it's not really the case of course.
Brilliance either way going from a cute idea to.. panel 8. Hehe and poor Beef.

SO GOOD STRIP. I just re-found this because I was having a really shit day and it totally cheered me up . I'm not sure whether that is healthy but it surely did.
Roast Beef's shaking in horror!

Are there any regular cast members who do not, on occasion, mess with the little otter's head?
I think this may be an actual depression based hallucination, rather than a prank.
Actually, I think Roast Beef is depressed enough that even his imaginary friends commit suicide.
And it's all Beef's fault. :(
And one of his surviving imaginary friends is named after (or perhaps is ) the huge cemetery in Paris.
Ah yes, the Mr. Tears Memorial Cemetery. It is so beautiful.
Indeed! The perfect place to bury Mr Mojo Risin - he was getting stretch marks and starting to tear a little around the gut area before he died in that bathtub.
Hold on ... does 'Tears' rhyme with 'stairs' or 'fears'?
Yeah
Yeah, this isn't a case of Roast Beef messing with Phillipe, but rather Roast Beef being messed up. and Mr. Bear's usually pretty straight with him.
Although Beef did not at any point tell Philippe that plants don't get pregnant when you touch them.
I don't think Roast Beef is going along with it because he thinks it's funny, more just that he's bored and lonely...
Beef just doesn't have the wherewithal to explain the situation to Philippe.
