Beef is my mental health mascot.

I'm afraid to eat toast now lest I find myself in this same situation.

i would be more afraid of having no one to take the toast out of my mouth.

Yea, turns out it eventually dissolves.

Hooray for saliva.

Saliva: Liquid Magic.

I got my first kiss using a similar fallacy.

Molly, he is in his bad place. You are kind to help him, though.

Molly is demonstrating true love right there.

this is all i look for in a woman.

Saint-like patience to deal with your crippling depression?

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up, sure.

And I FOUND one!

And, goddamn it, I plan to marry the SHIT out of that girl!

And ruin that nice white dress?

Not only is it a Philippe I crocheted myself, I may (if Onstad ever returns my email re: copyright and me infringing it) be making quite a few more and selling them. Also to be considered for making/selling: an additional bee costume and/or armpit bowtie.

We are waiting on the Master's approval here.

There are a few minor things I'd change to the final product, like the issues with the left eye, the arms being a little too long, and the feet being a smidge too big. All in all, I'm pleased with how he's turned out, considering.

WELL YOU CERTAINLY SHOULDN'T SELL ANY WITHOUT THE AUTHOR'S EXPRESSED WRITTEN CONSENT. THAT'S RIGHT - I GOT YOUR BACK, ONSTAD.

Psst....c'mere Just between you and me, I'd be willing to buy one while you're waiting to hear back from him. If he asks about it next time he's over I'll just say I found it under a rickshaw in Chittagong.

Also, it seems like an optional Walk-Around Butt (tm) attachment would make this already awesome product approximately ten (10) times awesomer.

For some reason that comment makes me feel like I should go to jail.

that and good tits

This strip really shows the strength of their relationship, I think. Familiarity and understanding all in one.

Molly is a damn good woman. Props.

Beef communicating with his closed eyes is priceless.

Yep. This is really what it's like

What does the S.O. part of S.O.-S.A.D. stand for?

Seasonal Onset for the actual lamps, it may mean something else in Achewood.

I've always figured Sudden Onset Seasonal Affective Disorder.

Seasonal Orientation-Sadness Affective Disorder.

It's like psychiatrists are making fun of depressed people! Hilarious!

There are a lot of strips worth rating a 5 on this scale, but if everyone were allowed exactly one 6 rating, this would be mine.

I am constantly frustrated with the world that I can't quote this strip meaningfully. Of course, no one would understand me if I asked them this question, but I wish it SO HARD.

I can just imagine you wishing SO HARD, all fists clenched and stuff.

all furrowed brow and several beads of sweat forming

It's a side-effect to my ride-effect!

Beef's got cute lil' fangs.

This is why he should marry her, stone cold.

Poor cat's even thwarted by his own lower canines. SO S.A.D. indeed.

S.O.-S.A.D = Sudden Onset Seasonal Affected Discorder.

Worst mental illness. Ever. I was once too depressed to cook for myself for a month straight, my roommate had to do it.

he wanted to have sex with you. it was a gesture.

This arc is awesome for character development, actually. It helps make Beef's emergence in the GOF and his move to the moon match up more, as they happened in different moments in his depression cycle. Great stuff.

This is my new bestest ever strip from ever. Ever ever. My wife wrecked my car today. Any toast that was pulled out of my mouth right now would come away without bitemarks.

CAT TEETH CAT TEETH BEEFY BEEFY CAT TEETH

I could not possibly agree more with the alt text.

I need to find my own Molly:The Human Edition

Dogg better remember this next time he gets dragged to the bead shop.

I've had days like that. Waking up and not having the energy to do anything is terrible. The feeling that nothing matters, that you can't do anything right. The worst part is the sort of positive feedback loop it sets up. You feel down and like you can't do anything, so you have trouble doing things and then you feel worse.

Just nasty, man. Confidence feedback loops are much better. "You see, when you know you're sexy you'll feel sexy, and when you feel sexy you'll look sexy, and when you look sexy you'll know you're sexy. It's a very sexy cycle."
