To me the best part of this strip is the "guaranteed." It's just exactly the kind of thing Ray would say, and I can see him dropping it nonchalantly as he walks away from the register, looking over at his companion for emphasis.

It seems a little harsh that both Hell's inhabitants and their victims wind up there. Perhaps those flowers are printed from their victim's pain, which when they forget, sinks through their shoes, into the ground and drips directly into Hell's Printing Press.

That makes more sense. Otherwise, folks (and puppies!) are ending up in Hell just because a stranger was a dick to them.
That ain't right. We'd all end up there.

something about our obsession with Beef's complicated structural choices has resulted in you saying "all hella haunted" and I like it. There's a line in the Beck song "Dark Star" (Off The Information, which was bad), "listen to the noise on the battery tape deck" and the sound of his consonants clicking into place do wonders for me every time, despite the presence of the hulking beast of depression that roamed that album's countryside...

Ditto. Slightly monotonous tone, but with a forlorn echo behind it that just sticks in your ears and follows you until you hear that echo behind every sound; and like the tick of a clock, the more you pay attention the louder it gets until you can't STOP STOP HEARING IT NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY.

Hell is so terrible, it knows all the sins you've done even you haven't done them yet.
That's why most people never try to get out. Don't want to add to the pile.

Dude, if you voluntarily take part in the Great Outdoor Fight, then anything that you do - and anything that is done to you - is automatically on your own head. You cannot incur karmic backlash for doing what you're supposed to be doing in the GOF.

Jesus Hotcakes Christ I love vanilla vodka and orange soda. I used to drink it in my first studio apartment before I had glasses, so I would drink half of a can of generic orange soda and then fill the rest up with vodka. One night me and my so-gay-he-flies buddy got so fucked up on fifty-fifties he peed in the sink and started singing the national anthem in hopes I wouldn't hear him do so. But he forgot the words to the national anthem, so he just screamed "NATIONAL ANTHEM" over and over while he defiled my toothbrush.

Am I the only one that notices that, not only does ray not have an actual man thong (more of a speedo) but that his but cheeks begin above his tail?
I mean tails just don't work like that, sure it makes him more humiliated to have his crack a showin' and he is a cat that walks in his back legs, but it just don't seem right, that it is not a real thong, feels so wrong, though it would would feel pretty wrong to see Ray ass just starin' me in the face, but I think that would feel less wrong.
