Hey, I like the underground/overground concept. It is responsible for Beef calling Ray a "cracker" that time. Remember that? That shit was good.

No, they are cool. They add some sort of colour to it all.

:D
You say that one word in such a way that it makes me want to make deep love to your rectum. Deep!

Woah. Woah.

Woah.

...

I wish I could say I don't agree.

But where does Lie Bot live?

With Teodor I would assume from the early strips.

In the Onstad's garage, with his banjo.

This is a really decent map of Palo Alto, CA

It looks like Ray lives up in the big ol' mansion part of Palo Alto, while Beef lives over in the extremely poor ghetto of East Palo Alto.

The fictional Onstads & co live over where a lot of Stanford University people do. And everybody else seems to be in the middle-class suburb parts (ok, not any more, housing is $$$$$ now).

And Todd lives on the golf course.

dexter = stanford .. you can see the oval and everything
the grid area between achewood heights and achewood estates is the palo alto downtown area, which houses at least half a dozen high end carpet shops
and east palo alto, aka EPA is the rough part of town where you would expect roast beef's shanty to be

It's also where IKEA is!

Man I live right next to Palo Alto! That'd be great to see those dudes walking around.

where is the dump that phillipe runs away to when he tries to resque the couch?

It's presumably the PA muni dump which on this map would be just east by northeast of the Seven Pines golf course. Which in Palo Alto is municipal. There's also an airport out there, some baylands, and the occasional teenage makeout couple/guy smoking crack in his truck.

I hope Chris Onstad actually lives there as that would make him my freaking neighbor. Not next-door, but damn close.

I know where you live!

Huh. I wonder if the Teodor/Onstad residence is actually where Chris lives in Palo Alto?
California-area stalkers, take note.

Yeah, if the Onstads really live at 4, then I'm probably a 5 minute walk from them. Maybe he wants to go to my house warming?

I remember I posted on TOUAMB about this, since I figured the vaguely dinosaur-shaped University was a direct allusion to "Denver, The Last Dinosaur", which it was not. Then Onstad called me a dick.

Denver was a great show with some of the best theme music we will ever hear. Do not give up the faith.

I'm not a fan of solicitors of any kind and am an atheist, but Pat was a huge dick to them even by my standards. Also I love that he was thinking about taking out his doorbell.

So Teodor, Phillipe et al live in a house with a human, and Ray lives in his own Mansion? Of course he does.

Why, WHY, do you have that stupid Damien Hirst skull thing as your avatar?

Okay, okay, I'm sorry. I'm not going to judge someone by their avatar. But I will judge them by their taste in art.

Are you kidding me? The absolute arrogance and decadence that takes to stick an assload of diamonds on a perfectly good skull is such a perfect representative of the world we now find our selves living in.

But as you have wounded me deeply madam, you get Kill-Bot 9000


Thank you. Okay, I accept your views and interpretation. It just made me angry every time I saw it anywhere on Assetbar.

I like that Ray has his own entrance to the underground. Cat got style.

I like that you told me specifically, rather than commenting on the strip in general. It feels like we were standing next to each other in a bar, having no reason to talk or acknowledge each other, perhaps not even looking in each other's direction, perhaps I'm already involved in a conversation with someone else (mulisha7), and then out of the blue you nudged me and got my attention and gave me your opinion.

Thanks. It's nice to feel special.

You do that a lot, don't you?
... Get angry at seeing stuff on Assetbar.

...... Maybe you should work on chilling... y'know.

Nah, it's the internet.

I ain't seen hecci anywhere else on the Internet, but I suppose you might be right. Could be that she has a hair-trigger temper all across the Interwebs.

I'd expect nothing less from someone with Philippe as an avatar.

"F-f-f-f-f-f-fuckin' FORE!!!"

To me, this type of strip represents the author's dedication to the concept. It doesn't matter whether it's funny, or even interesting. How many webcartoonists would even think of something like this, much less put the time into it?
