It is a good thing for Beef to be happy.

A cat owning a robot dog? MADNESS!

Haha! I wanted to give this a chubby, but the ol' rating system is disabled.

I wanted to lame this, but then I saw that this comment was made a year ago. Things were different then, I think. It was probably considered funny back then.

You are a good man.

I think it's funny now and want to Chubby it. I want to Chubby the hell out of that comment.

Mickey Mouse owns Pluto but is good friends with Goofy.

That's pretty screwed up if you think about it.

...holy shit.

That is not the saddest thing.

I love taking my dog to check the pee-mail.

DANG I JUST GOT THAT IT'S A GENIUS CONCEPT

i was all thinking it was an AIBO thing but it's a general dog thing, checkin' pee places for updates and such! i never got that bit until now DAMNNNNNN.

okay i'm calm.

Wonderful last panel

Beef hasn't been this happy since Ray made Cheers

Such a good call!

Totally good call. Looking back, this Aibo gives him a much mellower happy-buzz then the Cheers bar, though. Like the wine to its tequila, say.

When his eyes went pie-shaped he looked like a meth or speed freak. It was slightly scary to see such a transformation.

"Oh hee hee hee!"

beef only wants the best for weldon

If only real AIBOs were half this charming.

As a Breast Man you are able to purchase the "Really Charming AIBO".

Sony gives you the real AIBO only if you create a piano album that outsells Dark Side of the Moon.

I tried to check my pee-mail but then The Man told me me to be nicer to my postal delivery service.

Oh god it is so depressing to see the ironically sad yet hopeful happiness of such as a lonely AIBO enthusiast would enjoy.

He loves the little AIBO Weldon.

not as depressing as

I cannot stop looking at this site. I'm going to have nightmares.

The alt text to this one, "Roast Beef is going around and he is pretty happy and the dog is well taken care of" made this into a five for me. So much joy in Beef's transformation into a reasonably well adjusted cat-person.

This is basically what puppies are for. There is no more efficient way to make someone happy; even an ugly dog will please a dour woman or man, not giving a damn whether or not the fellow wishes to be pleased.

They run around and have just the happiest old time. That is their agenda and they'll do it whatever you have to say. You learn to roll with it, and everything they do is adorable. Between that and their surprising ability to like you no matter how shitty you are, it is pretty hard to be too sad around a dog.

Incidentally, the font on Beef's shirt is older than the micro or minicomputer. It is called Westminster and is almost as old as my parents. Hell of a thing.

I feel mostly angry around dogs. I do not like to be needed or wanted by an animal in any particular way. Cats make me feel relaxed. Some crave passive attention, some crave active attention. This is the difference between a cat person and a dog person.

As I was reading caseyb3 comment, I felt an increasing urge to answer, cat-person-wise. Then I scrolled down and I saw your comment. And I no longer need to write anything. Chubby.

The difference between cat persons and dog persons is that cat persons like to spend money on something that hates them.

Dog persons are just more likely to have kids to fill this role.

Dogs are for aggressive people, cats are for passive ones.

Cats is all "hey buddy, fuck you and feed me"

Dogs is all "HOLY SHIT IT'S YOU I CAN'T FUCKING BELIEVE IT"

So, cats are for pussies.

Got it.

Cats are for people who'd be mildly offended that you think "pussy" is an insult.

To rephrase: people who don't think gentleness and considerateness are bad qualities.

Don't read too much into my comment above.

But, that being said, if you're into gentleness and considerateness, why would you be into cats? All the cats I've known seem to care only about themselves and thoroughly enjoy clawing things (e.g. my thighs).

Yeah, one thing about dogs is that they emote. They have a big flag on their ass that lets you know how they feel, 24/7. Also, they've been bred through the generations to seek out human company and look to humans for support and help, and to supply the same in the reverse.

Cats are... wild. They say that a dog is only a few generations away from a wolf, but I've never lost the feeling that when a cat looks at me with those alien gemstone eyes, it's thinking of itself, ten times larger, chasing me through dry scrub and smelling blood.

Man, that is exactly the opposite of my experience with cats. Most of the cats I've known have been affectionate, loving creatures. My elderly kitty Natasha is sleeping on my shoulder right now. Most of the dogs I've known are frankly too stinky and ungainly to cuddle with.

Man, it looks like "fakead" and "glorify" really like cats and hate the idea of people poking a little fun at cats.

People get real touchy on the subject. I am a cat dude and I felt the urge to lame all the anti-cat comments but I am also a reasonable dude so I did not do that.
