I hope it was clear that Ray believes food delivery people get so anxious about delivering time-sensitive items like nachos and French fries that he thinks they will actually panic if delayed. I ended up using the shorter version of what you see at bottom left here (a) because it felt clunky, and (b) I sometimes like to leave a small gap between the tent posts of an idea so that ambitious readers can find greater satisfaction in the work. Personally, I can't imagine ordering a hamburger and French fries for delivery, because fries which aren't still steaming are worthless, and that burger's bottom bun is going to be a sodden travesty. I ate dinner hours ago and have zero appetite, but even now the idea of a delivery hamburger just makes me sick. Lord spare us all from delivered hamburgers.

That's it for this week. Please join me in the future, where several junior high school art-jazz bands are named Fartwad Grindleshit.

“Keno people”? Is that anything like the blue hairs yankin’ levers in Atlantic City?

Achewood

yes, the bottom of the casino food chain

Julie (HiDeeHoGal)

You *can* scream away 10-16 calories per hour by some estimates. Also Fartwad Grindleshit sounds like some Harry Potter villain satire.

Plot: The Musical

Yes, “keno people drink” is a snipe so powerful, it’s got the entire city of Reno, Nevada catching strays from thousands of miles away

DocHaus

Thanks for the behind the scenes text about the motivation behind Beef and Ray's...beef in this arc. I had a feeling it was something like that.

Ben Sunshine-Hill

When I look into your thighs all I can see is your dear departed mother

Achewood

Some of those notes in the image are for things that may yet happen in the future, but with so little certainty that they can't honestly be called Spoilers.

Achewood

That might scientifically be the biggest guaranteed turn-off line ever created!

Achewood

I mean we're talking all suburbs of Reno just leveled with that one

Leo Fontanette and the Hall of Dealerships

Jenn

The "your photo here" hit me hard

Ben Wilinofsky

Every time someone hires an app slave to deliver McDonald's to their door I privately nominate them for sterilization.

Achewood

let's see those new Patreon avatars people

I worked with a guy in the late teens who would order uber eats (or whatever service it was) for lunch every day. One time he got a "bowl" from some place a half hour away. I was like, "dude, that's a huge amount of resources and work to get you some fucking orange slices on quinoa." He was like, "Delivery was three bucks."

Ben Sunshine-Hill

Honestly this finally answers a burning question I’ve had for a good long time, namely why they couldn’t smooth things over by explaining that Beef was giving him an honest compliment. It’s not “what was in the briefcase” big, but it is “Leo Fontanette’s thighs” big.

Ben Sunshine-Hill

PROTAGONIST: I’m not the person I was… befoooore! COMIC RELIEF WITH THE BOOMING BARITONE: Fig-ur-a-tive-ly.

Achewood

Well, also, by the time the smoke cleared, Leo was already busy dying in that corn field. And to be fair, Leo might have died due to any number of trivial offenses.

Ben Sunshine-Hill

I had not considered the “anything could set him off” angle. Which makes his life up to that point a sort of cruel miracle: decades spent furiously edging coronary failure, able neither to settle in nor clock out. …Jesus, Onstad, you write ‘em dark.

Ian Stewart

Sparks blasted flat but somehow not appreciably aesthetically changed... hmm...

Achewood

Leo was a lit fuse. Ray was just the extra oxygen.

Achewood

skinheads still scuttling out from under things

Douglas Wykstra

RIP once again Leo, I assumed you would have loved today's normalization of the 7-inch inseam but now I am not so sure

Achewood

Yeah, the weird thing here is that golf courses have always been fine with dumpy 9+" inseams, yet Leo chose the Magnum PI's.

Nate

It took me a moment to figure out what kind of energy Ray was talking about, but I easily connected the dots to realize those are foods that become limp and terrible if steamed too long in the doordash bag

Nate

I tip them enough that their time is covered at the rate of my own wages. If they're out for 15 minutes, they get about 15 bucks. That being said, I am sterilized with no children so I'm curious how you feel about those who order doordash, tip appropriately, and are sterile? Lol

Ben Wilinofsky

I have no objection to the apps in general; it is specifically the ordering of fast food that rankles. The point of McDonalds is that it's shitty food but at least it's cheap and convenient! Paying double to have soggy fries delivered directly to your door 40 minutes later defeats the whole purpose.

B D

I am from, and have remained in, “what Kid Rock thinks” country and laughed out loud at the podcast line Ray in such a position would probably elect to have a little fun with it

A. Hamster

I know someone who regularly orders Panda Express for delivery. That’s like paying twice for food that no one should want to eat

Achewood

Wow. Bring the food court to you. It's a crying shame, but, you know, Let him who is without sin, etc.

Achewood

So you have heard Kid Rock's insight on things, I imagine? It's really, truly disappointing stuff. Like when the dumber people at high school got drunk for the first time and started laying into "their beliefs."

Achewood

Good, I am glad that idea came through. It's why the original panel had the "Honorable" line in it. What is the ideal food for DoorDashing? Probably that won ton soup where they give you the 211 degree broth separate from the dry dumplings.

Achewood

Is sterilized the same thing as vasectomized? Or did you get like a neutron particle ray directly at the bonch, thereby lobotomizing all sperm to stand in place and drool?

Achewood

Hands in the middle, everyone: No Fast Food Door Dash. Chinese noodles and bbq ONLY

Ben Wilinofsky

Curries and Pho are the ideal delivery foodstuffs because they are a) by nature already reheated and endlessly reheatable and b) satisfying when the weather is fluffing much hog

B D

Unfortunately, YES

b.zap

Limp like Moby's dick

Nate

I assumed that vasectomies would count in the grand scheme of reproductive sterility

Mystic Eyebrow

Brian Wilson and Leo can finally be together again (imagine me crying softly to "Smile" as I type this)
