0099 — Roast Beef, Couples Therapy
Added 2024-12-06 18:00:14 +0000 UTCExtras from this strip post at noon in tiers 2 & 3!
In panel four, Roast Beef is referring to the popular copulatory position you may know as "missionary." Why is it called missionary? When I was a very young boy, this term led me to assume it was the position in which priests had sex, because it was more "godly." I had no mental inventory of any other types of sexual position, so I'm not sure what I meant by this, other than that the priest got to be the boss because he was on top — like when a wrestler won — which imputed that he was also successfully spreading the word of Christ.
The only other thing I will add is that in the final panel, I visualize the men on the hillside as bearded, and kind of sleepy.
Thank you for reading this small essay.

2024-12-09 10:14:26 +0000 UTCit's about 20 years too late for that. Perhaps something to dissolve the callouses? Some sort of positivity pumice, perhap.

2024-12-07 13:13:07 +0000 UTCroast beef needs some golden tabloid before his negativity hardens on his skin, forming a sticky exoskeleton of synonyms for everything he doesn't like about himself

2024-12-07 04:48:47 +0000 UTCWhile I love Beef once again proving himself the Poet Laurate of circumstances, what I appreciate most here is the glimmer of hope Onstad gives us for Beef & Molly. Every update to this point had painted a grim picture.

2024-12-07 01:19:59 +0000 UTCI have excluded Pat in this overview, because there's no way Cornelius tolerates Pat. Pat is the one guy who would absolutely think he was on Cornelius's level, and Cornelius would have to school that fool very firmly

2024-12-06 20:38:41 +0000 UTCGo-to bed moves need shuffling. It is known. And it's not fair for women to own the 'crazy is hot' trope. Beef go on with yourself, mind your hygiene, and all will be well.

2024-12-06 18:27:29 +0000 UTCI'd be curious to know whether Molly has ever been tempted by attraction to another man. And if not, then, like... why.

2024-12-06 18:25:56 +0000 UTCSometimes I wonder why Connie tolerates these lunatics. But I'm glad he does.

2024-12-06 18:17:07 +0000 UTC"Missionary position" allegedly comes from the locals being scandalized upon finding out that it was the only way missionary couples did it. It can't have been a great incentive to sign up, really.
