I am with you, Beef. These are low narrations and untrue.

They are a dog's narrations.

Those narrations are worst song, played on ugliest guitar

I got to admit, seeing Bowie's narration would be interesting yet scary.

"aaaht-aht-aht-ah!"

I had Bowie's version when I was a kid, the only part he narrates is the beginning where he explains what instrument represents each character. Personally, I want Keith Richards to narrate. I would buy that in a fucking heartbeat.

if those ones don't take your fancy, you could always try the Sean Connery (1971) or Patrick Stewart (1994) version

only through the anonymity of internet can I admit that I had this:

I'm sold, given all of the characters are represented by a voice going "na na na na naaaa" and the wolf meets Peter by coming through the window on a ladder.

HI SAM! (Bwannawahh)

Hahahaha thank you for perfectly representing Sam's arrival riff.

I've made it my mission in life to make that riff next time I 'arrive' inside a woman.

I do what I can! :-D

Watching that show kinda screwed up my reality for me when I was a kid. I mean there I sat, a boy of whatever age I was at the time, named Sam, thinking one day I could just climb up a ladder into a hot chick's window.

WRONG. THANKS A LOT NICKELODEON. NOW I CAN'T DRIVE A CAR.

Ben Affleck.

I have always been strangely attracted to her.

Ain't nothin' strange about it.

So have I, but I'm a woman.

Go on...

HOLY MOTHER OF PUSSY DO I WANT THAT

*twitch*

I think her face tells the true story of why she did that CD.

I'm thinking hostages.

her face says to me, "I am a gormless fucktard! haaaaaaaaaa"

i am full of gorm. gormful, even.
i am the gormster.

Oh my god, Prokofiev's corpse is probably still spinning at several thousand rpm just from having his name on the top of that.

The rotation is used to generate current. For several decades Prokofiev's corpse has been an important source of renewable energy in Russia.

Nooooooooo, by mistake I lamed your reply instead of chubbying it :<... I will now cry myself to sleep!

That wolf is slobbering all over Melissa's boobs. As we all would in that situation.

I love the way pre-teenish idols' of my adolescence tits look in denim overalls.

She didn't have any then.

... Which leads me to investigate as to whether she has any now... which would make of her a world of sex.

[Addendum]

I found this:

It distracts me quite nicely from the other picture of her with a dog... and her kid.
My childhood has been ruined by a dog and a kid.

she looks a little downsy these days.

I'd still hit it.

AGREED

SECONDED

THIRDED

The motion carries.

That's what she said.

Hmm.
I've been going through the archive with the "random comic" and this is the second time I've found you've made that exact post.

HOW MANY MORE ARE THERE

WHY FIND OUT

FOURTHED

I would hit that like the fist of an angry GOD, I would hit that. I had such a huge crush on Clarissa

is that Clarissa Explains It All, Clarissa? god i loved her

No mention of Sabrina yet? What the hell, everyone?

Ah Clarissa, is there anything you can't explain to us?

The Patrick Stewart one is the best one.

holy mother of pussy!?
Yes!

I cannot relate to this particular instance but my inner dialogue with the internet has adopted the same tone on many occasions.

So has Teodor, I guess (cf: Meg White Naked)

Fuck smellers. Great insult.

I say this all the time now.

This strip is exactly what happened to Onstad one night, chanelled through the personage of a depressive cat.

Who has this NOT happened to? The Internets KILL you sometimes.

for me, i like watching Roast Beef freak out, and i think the alt-text was a reference to the film Falling Down, where Michael Douglas starts freaking out and killing people because he is having kind of a shitty day.

Because of the people who like Music.

.....I want the Weird Al version.

The Weird Al version is amazing. And the second half of the CD / side B of the cassette is "Carnival of the Animals: Part 2" in homage to Camille Saint Sa�ns.

Bonus points to Mr Al for adding the "Bob the Janitor" character to the story, which the original was sorely lacking.

Sadly, the above is actually true and not just your usual zany madcap Achewood messageboard-style japery.

I'd rather the Bowie version.
I feel a dose of hate for Beef for dissing Bowie.

and so vehemently. Beef's lip even curls a little at that one.

No one should diss the Bowie *sad eyes*.

Oh you can go sit on a fat one.

I probably still have a cassette tape of the Weird Al version. I have no regrets.

I go through this every year with A Christmas Carol.

PROKOFIEV, you fuck smellers!

I share Beef's feelings on this subject.

5th Symphony rocks. That's all, I'm a complete dork.

I just love how worked up he gets. In the fourth panel he's not even saying or thinking anything, just thrashing about in utter frustration. Every now and again I find myself pissed off enough that I'm just waving my fists around without even conciously considering why.

i think he's hitting himself in the head.

that's something i do when i'm frustrated.

In my mind he's pounding his fist on the desk.

I do this now whenever my computer does something I don't like.

I have a shitty particle-board desk with a fist-sized hole in the top because of this strip.

Dogg, the David Bowie narration is GOLDEN.

Yeah that statement is extra true

Bobby McFerrin is an American treasure. And while his Peter and the wolf doesn't consitute canonical, I'm sure it's an interesting interpretation of Prokofiev.

Holy MOTHER OF PUSSY... thank you Roast Beef...

Nobody disses Ziggy Stardust and gets away wtih it. Okay, except for Beef. He's fictional so I don't see how i can punish him.

Honestly in panel 7 I always see the "clak" as the sound of beefs brain snapping at the thought of Peter and the Wolf via Yankovic.

fuck smellers.

What's worse is Jack Nicholson narrating Just So Stories. That is astoundingly distressing.

When I was about 9, I went round to my (now) best friend Ben's house for the first time. After the usual childhood games and bashfully meeting his parents (constantly thanking them for any displays of moderate kindness) we went off to bed at about 11. At roughly 2.30 in the morning his dad, blind drunk, stumbled into the room, and said to me "Matthew! Shhh! Listen to this, it's so important!" and proceeded to yank me out of bed, sit me down next to a record player and he gave me an enormous set of headphones. Ben was still asleep at this point. What bellowed forth from those headphones was an entire performance of Peter and the Wolf, narrated by Christopher Lee. Throughout the performance, Ben's dad waited expectantly, eyes twinkling, watching my reaction (which rarely changed from positively befuddled). Once it was over, he ushered me back to bed and that was that.

Neither of us have mentioned it once since then, and Ben is still unaware that it ever happened. Just thought I'd share that with you.
