Ray vs. Philippe
― n/a, Friday, 28 September 2007 14:52 (seventeen years ago) link
Probably Ray, Philippe is kind of twee but still awesome

I see so much of Roast Beef in myself I can't really side with anyone else. I suspect quite a bit of ILX is gonna have my back here, also
― DJ Mencap, Friday, 28 September 2007 14:53 (seventeen years ago) link
Roast Beef is my worst case self and Ray is my idealized self.
― Jordan, Friday, 28 September 2007 14:55 (seventeen years ago) link
I suspect that may be implicit in the strip re: Onstad
― DJ Mencap, Friday, 28 September 2007 14:57 (seventeen years ago) link
(suspicion largely unfounded, based on one or two interviews I read with him)
― DJ Mencap, Friday, 28 September 2007 14:58 (seventeen years ago) link
phillipe is a bit twee yes, but i guess kids just are, that's were twee comes from innit. roast beef is just a classic misery case comedy character, but mr smuckles kills it.
― max r, Friday, 28 September 2007 14:58 (seventeen years ago) link
You need to read more/closer if all you get out of Phillipe is 'twee'

no one "gets" phillipe ;_;

k, man i'll have to think really deeply about a stuffed toy baby otter in a web comic, maybe i'll write a thesis on it.
― max r, Friday, 28 September 2007 15:15 (seventeen years ago) link
Philippe's fucking great. Yeah, a whole comic with nothing but Philippe would be a bit much, but as one character in an ensemble piece he's a fantastic alternative viewpoint, he's twee BUT HE'S FIVE ffs. I love Philippe.

I'd have to say Lyle is my worst-case self. He looks like fun at first, but man, you don't want to be him.
Beef is... relatable, let's say.

I think (hope) I might grow up to be a little like Cornelius. Failing that, Ray. Failing that, Vlad.
― Just got offed, Friday, 28 September 2007 15:27 (seventeen years ago) link
Much as I love all the characters, I think I would get the waiting motorcycle, from the last panel of the strip in which Ray and Beef burn down the Great Outdoor Fight grounds, as a tattoo. It is a powerful symbol of hope.

A friend bought me the Ray gets stoned one linked upthread awhile back. It is framed and hung in the hallway. Most people who come by do not really understand what it is doing there.

me: Oh, I had a dream that St. Louis got nuked. So, y'know, keep an eye out. s.: Will do. me: Also a horrific dream that I met my ex in Portland, had a nice time, were going to get back together, but she decided not to, but wanted me to pretend we had, just to freak out her boyfriend. s.: Well I'm glad your dreams are being nicer to you. me: It was so bad that I realized I was dreaming but couldn't wake up, but was able to bargain with my subconscious to let me watch it take place in comic form. me: Drawn by Chris Onstad. s.: dude. that's just weird.

The other day my friend went on this insane rant about how he hates the farming industry which for all the world reminded me of Pat phoning up talk radio and shouting about how barbers should be paid less. But it would have been way too long and arcane to try and explain it so I just let him go on
