I'd like to do that, but I suspect they wouldn't be my friends after I'd done so... PLUS I tend to pick my few friends based on their own capacity for violence, so chances are I wouldn't win.

I think it is pulled more from just what type of dude Ramses is and here is why. Cats in this world are obviously capable of being committed to a relationship, ie molly and beef, but Ramses has another son who rarely sees his father as well. The man is like snow in Nevada, he doesn't come around much but when he does you will remember it.

Ramses can tell a fanboy like Beef when he sees one, and fanboys be all giving you their life story the second you let their lips fly so you need to just cold hush them as soon you obtain the pertinent information you requested.

Ray always struck me as being black, anthropomorphically speaking. I'd probably go into further detail as to why that is, but I've just realised with some consternation that I don't actually know any African Americans, so the judgment on my part was pretty much entirely based on American sitcoms.

At first, all three cats seemed to be black, to me, and Teodor's desire to both out-dirty and please them seemed to be Sheltered White Kid Anxieties. Pat now seems like a cross between black 'Nam vets I've known and ridiculous Santa Cruz white kids. Roast Beef seemed pretty black until he called himself a "whigger," and what white cartoonist in the U.S. would give a black guy a backstory like that?
Then I decided: cats can have a nationality, such as Mexican, but they cannot actually have a human race . It is almost impossible for a cat to be African-American, and extraordinarily odd for a cat to meaningfully be European-American. Some cats might be ethnocentric, but they are inherently post-racist: they might identify with one human-American subculture more than another, but it's nonsense, or, at most, fashion: like the original white hippies, they can change their racial affiliation as easily as changing clothes.
Then I remembered that consistency was the enemy of comedy and vowed never to type this on Assetbar.

Beef's from a poor Greek Catholic family. I'd lay Ray's father's family down as being African-American analogued, at least in part, and his mother's French Catholic.

I've always read Ray's line's with Isaac Hayes voice, so Ramses voice has gotta be hella gravelly like Barry White or tangently, Sam Elliott circa Roadhouse. If you've ever seen the film he's basically the same character as Ramses.

Philippe, Philippe, Philippe. The saddest thing is when a son, having met his long lost father for the first time, asks for some sign of his approval, but the father ignores it, and then goes on to explain to his son that he has no choice but to beat his best friend to near death.

Nah man, you're reading this all wrong. Ramses is challenging them. He's telling them what is excepted of them and leaving the decision of how to carry it out to them. Beef kind of mentions something similar to Ray after the fight is over, but that's as much foreshadowing as I want to do here.

When Ray's long-lost father comes to visit him, approaching him specifically at a massive event - an event where Ray is at that very moment becoming a national celebrity - Ray assumes that his father will not know who he is . And immediately tries to remind him. What a tragic, tragic story. Ray sees himself as entirely insignificant and unworthy of his father's love.

If I was Ray, I'd feel pretty insignificant in Ray's position too. I mean, you consider how much of a legend his father is and how little known he is. I mean, Ray is, after all, that guy you do not want people to know beat you down (Prior to this), and a guy who's bands on his own label don't know who he is. Whereas Ramses has done an untold number of bad-ass things, the amount of which surely outweigh Ray's wacky shenanigans.
