That last panel was why I couldn't keep a girlfriend for more than a few weeks during my freshman year.

i do this sort of thing all the time. they think it's funny, cause i am a hell of humble and self-deprecatory guy otherwise.
but really when i get with a chick i feel like i should be wearing a crown. it ain't never a joke. i get all Ray on them and they think i'm just playing a character. hey, whatever works!
dougthehead » pro6 months ago
Yeah, don't dismiss Ray's advice. I've found that most girls respond to you better if you're less "thank you" and more "you're welcome." Confidence is hella sexy.
heccibiggs » pro3 months ago
Very true. I can't imagine anything worse than someone thanking me for a kiss, ugh. Stop that. go back home to your mother.
spinynorman » neu2 months ago
They could always pull a Nice Pete and draw back, look straight into your eyes, and scream in fury for like eight second straight.
I imagine that'd kill the mood.
7th_shot » neu2 months ago
Well, at least the screaming shows full-speed-ahead insanity, and then maybe the dude'll turn out to do some interesting shit. I don't think guys understand just how unappealing and pitiful it is to be thanked for basic gestures of affection.
spinynorman » neu2 months ago
Dudes got hella inadequacy. Sucks to believe you are undeserving of love or compassion.
All I want in a woman is the ability to pound a forty in under thirty seconds and then belch the words "FILL ME UP WITH YOUR LITTLE BABIES."
heccibiggs » neu2 months ago
Done and done.
spinynorman » neu2 months ago
The supreme irony, of course, is that Roast Beef, arguably the most-liked character in the strip, is exactly the kind of guy neither of you like.
iskander » pro1 months ago
Beef is an awesome character but I think he would be strident to be around in real life.
spinynorman » neu1 months ago
That sounds like something Beef would probably say. :(
Poor Beef and Beef-like gentlemen.
boopy » neu1 months ago
as a fairly beef-like gentleman, i can attest to how strident it can get.
davidbowie » neu1 years ago
Mine says this now.
zzzleepy » pro5 months ago
wow. what a moment. these two are friends.
plus a punchline. top 10, maybe 5.
this strip seems finely crafted and solidly built. doesn't it describe a lot about beef's perspective, ray's perspective, and their relationship?
overmedicated » neu1 years ago
I, too, have never frenched a girl.
overmedicated » neu1 years ago
Or a boy.
Shit.
zefiel » pro1 years ago
Aw, I too, thought I'd be accidentally shot by my best friend in a freak rollerskating incident and die before ever frenchin' a lady, but here I am, having already gotten mad rutty with a lady. What I mean to say inbetween all that bragging is, don't give up hope, man. It'll happen.
...Man, we could start a nerd support group/meeting thing.
zefiel » pro1 years ago
Yes! Yes! Nerd Dating support group! I can see it starting! The slogan: Leave the Roast Beef Behind to unleash the King of the Makeouts inside you!
overmedicated » neu11 months ago
Nerd Support Group Update:
I've had my first French!
And my second!
And third!
And fourth!
Then I got very drunk and had one with a dude.
It was my birthday, see.
And my jaw hurts.
Hooray!
zefiel » pro11 months ago
Hahah Awesome! Yeah, your jaw can get kinda sore until you get kinda used to it. Happy Belated Birthday. Were you lucid enough to remember Ray's advice and go 'You're welcome'?
overmedicated » neu11 months ago
Oh, better than that mon ami. Not only did I say "You're welcome!" to all the girls afterwards, but I have some (admittedly wobbly) video footage of me snogging my (male) best friend then yelling "KISS MY ASS BITCH, I'LL BE AT DUANE'S!" and punching him out.
I have reached the zenith of human existance, I truly have.
zefiel » pro11 months ago
Oh No way that's dope this footage MUST make it to youtube.
m1st3rbl4ck » pro11 months ago
that is the actual greatest thing i have ever heard of, ever.
lereya » neu9 months ago
Fucking ayyyyy.
blarghamagarky » neu4 months ago
seriously post or shens
latterman » neu5 months ago
What? What are you guys frenchin'? An alligator with braces?
People who french people ain't supposed to get pain in their jaws.
zefiel » neu3 months ago
You're not doing it right it seems
mattylite » pro2 months ago
Your avatar makes me think if I don't make a copy of it and give it to someone else, some girl with backwards hair is gonna crawl out of a well and then I'll be dead and the ground will be all wet.
dovey » neu1 months ago
Sometimes I get a sore jaw after I've been frenching a vagina for too long.
johnnyrocker » neu3 weeks ago
If you're drunk and frenching everyone at a party? Yes it hurts your jaw after a while.
johnnyrocker » neu3 weeks ago
Oh woops man I didn't even see this comment before.
Rock on.
charchar » pro3 months ago
You know it just turn into a giant nerd love-fest and everybody would be yelling about their rad chilies being on fire.
My first kiss: he eventually honked my boob. Like a rubber duck. GUYS THIS IS NEVER OKAY, OKAY?
kelsotimebomb » neu2 months ago
Ouch. That is a memory-killer.
I remember mine, too. I simultaneously made out with a guy and flipped off my friend who was standing behind him.
Good times.
cdtm » pro10 months ago
I'm for a support group, if it includes non nerd losers, too. And yeah, gotta keep your chin up.
lacrimus » pro9 months ago
If you don't you might end up kissing her chin.
johnnyrocker » neu3 weeks ago
Dude, overmedicated, don't worry. I didn't have my first french until I was like 17. The girl who finally took my frenchinity, it turned out, had a boyfriend who was a black belt in judo. Two years later and I have frenched 5 different girls and gotten rutty with two.
Sometimes stuff isn't exciting but then BAM all this excitement at once. The important thing is to relax.
fuckyoufriday » neu1 years ago
It's essential that you suspend all thought of what you're actually doing for a make-out session to work. Same goes for sex.

I have dated people who subscribed to this advice. There was no "Thank You" involved.
philosophe » pro4 months ago
No date, but yes.
lawdog » pro10 months ago
Ray understands. There is truly no finer warm up for "The Miracle"
lokier » neu10 months ago
Ray's "Ha Ha!" bothers me, like he doesn't have it together enough to just deliver the line.
atmus » neu7 months ago
I spend basically an hour each day trying to figure out the circumstances involved that would have me giving someone make-out advice in such away as to have them ask if they should say thank you, just so I can deliver Ray's line.
blarghamagarky » neu4 months ago
I imagine it as a triumphant and slightly aggressive "Ha Ha!"
saturnbeads » neu5 months ago
Actually, the way Ray describes frenching is pretty unappealing to me. When dudes just try to go all nuts with their tongues it presses all my buttons, just.. the wrong ones. It should be more of a massage, I think, not like a rapid twisting and flapping. >_<
Beef is so adorable.
ghede » neu4 months ago
Ze tongue, it should not thrash about in ze mouth, it should gently tease and twine.
pzukowski » pro2 months ago
It's like tongue wrestling when it's mutual. You have to overcome the horror or touching someone else's tongue with yours.
