What you LIKE is that you're holding something the police will wrestle you for.

I know I'm opening a can of worms like that scene where Homer is asked if he's ever seen a man yell at shoes before, or most of the PBF threads, but I never quite got the meaning of that, do they mean that the police want the Gusano Rojo so bad they'll wrestle you for it? Or that fighting the police is always the end result of imbibing Gusano Rojo?

You are always publicly intoxicated and belligerent when you’re drinking Gusano Rojo and the cops are trying to take it away.

I take it to mean that imbibing Gusano Rojo will certainly lead to getting in trouble with the police, and during that conflict, you will certainly refuse to comply with their orders, such that they'll be forced to wrestle the booze away from you.

While we're making confessions...I never quite understood Ray's joke about Cornelius "leaving the toilet seat at a 45-degree angle". From context, (a) it's clearly meant to somehow refer to Cornelius potentially suffering from dementia; and (b) it seems like Téodor takes a few seconds to get the joke, but once he does, he's offended or disgusted by it somehow. I just can't piece together what Ray is implying about Cornelius with this statement.

By "leaving the toilet seat" I think he means he gets up from the toilet seat bent over at a 45 degree angle implying he spent a long difficult time on the toilet due to being old.

See I read this as Ray testing if Teodor is paying attention or not since you can't leave a toilet seat balanced at 45 degrees.

I don't grab him by the dick but what I've found is that my big Maine Coon mix seems to be entirely chill with me gathering great double-handfuls of his belly fur in my hands and then gently lifting him up.

I haven't tried holding him aloft for extended periods but it's already baffling that he's just so okay with it.

Maine Coons are basically dogs in cat shape. They are gentle giants who just want to cuddle and play.

yah I had some breed of large housecat that was very quiet, super sweet, big ol lap plopper

now I live with a flamepoint siamese and he is delightful and extremely verbal, way more communicative with meows and body language, and very smart- he understands like twelve phrases and it rules - otoh he never settles down really, likes to scream at outdoor cats and do parkour off the glass door, and is very smart- any attempt to keep him out of places he's not sposed to be is a constant arms race

Chris was working on the first volume of an annotated compendium with the comics and blogs and everything, officially announced and up for pre-orders (around $35 I think?). Release date was supposed to be in September I think. Then at some point the Amazon listing at least changed to next year so who knows but it is a real thing with a publisher involved.

I read it as Teodor being the one who was leaving the toilet seat forty-five degrees up, and Ray knows it, and now he's being smug about letting him know he knows it.

edit: also obviously the toilet seat is old, so its hinges are a little stiff, so it actually can stay that way

Wouldn't be surprised to learn the resolution of those images he drew in 2001 or whatever aren't up to the minimum requirements of teepublic so doing shirts would mean new art.

He used to, actually! For a few years (starting when the strip began creeping out of hiatus, and ending seemingly last winter when the "Holiday Art Shop" opened up) there was a shop with print-on-demand shirts, prints, mousepads, mugs, etc.

He was posting about working on it pretty frequently and with the new art he was doing seemed as engaged with it as he'd ever been during a hiatus or whatever you call this. With a real publisher I think worst-case scenario for the book is it happens but maybe late for understandable reasons or it just isn't as annotated as it was conceived as being?
