0077 — Pt. 8, Penultimate arc strip
🕑 Added 2024-08-09 17:00:10 +0000 UTCAs always, experimental but ultimately unused panels, as well as other pieces of my artboard lagan, will post at noon Pacific today in the Author's and In-Universe Tiers.
My fiancée was recently away for a weekend bachelorette party, and I remained happily at home, where I would quickly dissipate into sublime bachelorhood. I had planned to have honorable intentions: I would treat myself to pasta at a fine local restaurant, I would knock out a week's pre-wedding home improvements, I would run a great distance, and I would get my art studio set up again. What did I actually do? "Cook" nachos (twice), eat nachos at a restaurant (once, to see), and wore the same socks (twice). Oh, and I wrote this strip, minus the last panel. Which, in my world, is like taking the trash all the way to the curb, only to turn right back around and return it to the place behind the garage.

NP hiding anywhere is always deeply unsettling.

Dude how did you manage to summarize the underlying theme of EVERY PRIMUS SONG EVER?!

I want to know the thought process pete went through to plan this seamlessly

I relate to panel 2 Beef in a way my cardiologist keeps wishing I would pay attention to.

Sometimes the right person in the right place at the right time is all you need.

Roast beef is elemental blues, the issue is inertia. The same blues paradox Rustmouth has been confounded by is that a blues musician has to be sad as hell but still motivated, and motivation tends to come from joy. Rustmouth gets imposter syndrome from it.

I was thinking they'd have to find a Friendly's

More sweet delight for Pete!

Imagine if the reason Ray has always been independently and unexplainably wealthy being time traveling his Gramps to turn a sex measuring device into generational wealth.

I do enjoy the sort of saloon door approach to samsara that we get with these guys

I was wondering if we were going to see that sex-measuring thing again, or if this would be a ChatSack Triple-Play situation.

Beef is way cool with this afterworld stuff. After all, he had to die to get a girlfriend!
Matt Mitchell
Nachos are amazing though. I had nachos twice in a week a few weekends ago

Rockin'!

I feel like Rustmouth has only been to the highest quality restaurants. He tried to dine only at low-end dumps, but they always closed down and the new fancy place that took over was too genial to cancel his reservation

When blues meets Beef the rubber hits the road. It is just past noon and I have written the previous sentence

Man, Beef would be straight-up dead if Molly hadn't taken pity on that poor depressed man.
Bungus Bronbo
Yup, no questions here, all of this makes immediate sense to me

Nice Pete's skill as a Lurker is unmatched.

What goes around ends well or some damn thing, I don't know
