    Ramon you look pretty convincing as a beatnik… yoko ono would be all over you back in the day

  2. Jesse Says:

    Lovely. Good to see her back.

  3. schroedingrscat Says:

    BEST SOLUTION EVER

  4. Samson Says:

    Good work conjugating french verbs correctly, you’ve done Canada proud.

  5. Fuel Says:

    The French Rob is awesome. The little mustache really does something for him

  6. CJ 'n LA Says:

    Two years, 8 months, 17 days… I’ve missed ‘Big Red”

  7. CJ 'n LA Says:

    Oh yeah, Are Rob and Ramon like “The Boys from Brazil’ or what.

  8. Mighty Max Says:

    AWESOME

  9. Roel Says:

    Nice one! :D
    The expression of the Ramon character in the last panel is most befitting!

    (however, if the waiter-like guy is talking about HER, it should be ‘ma chérie’ — ‘mon cheri’ is the masculan version, which changes the meaning of the last panel to him calling the Ramon character his sweetheart).

  10. Dax Says:

    People are dicks. Waiter-like guy? If you can’t even recognize the joke, don’t criticize the dialogue.

    The strip’s brilliant.

  11. Obinna Says:

    Okay, I’ll give you that Roel kinda missed the Rob thing, but chill out a bit, yeah? I think it’s a valid point, unless I’m also missing something vital about other meanings of “mon cheri.” It didn’t take anything away for me, but people notice these things.

    Anyhow, great stuff. I check every day, even though I know it only updates Thursdays. Must be addled…

  12. ramón Says:

    thanks for the support dax, but i don’t think roel had dick like intentions. well i hope not anyway…

    admitedly i’m suprised he did’na recognise the parisian rob, but ce la vie.

    roel, thanks for the french correction. i’ll fix it up when i get a chance.

    cheers all!

  13. Kozy Says:

    Kind of harkens back to “Bor and Nomar” from so very long ago when Rob first became catatonic. And life comes full circle yet again…

  14. Lee Says:

    quality strip :)

  15. Rick Says:

    Fan-friggin-tastic.

    Of course, it took me three reads to notice she was wearing those huge, bug-eye, “fashion” sunglasses. Yikes. Not really my thing, but I think I could probably get over it.

    :D

  16. Mondo Kane Says:

    Wahey! Sydney returns! Blessed are the Redheads, etc.

    Does this mean the Ghettoccino Parisienne has sprinkles, Ramon? Very swish! Here’s to fine cuppas the world over :)

  17. Vins Says:

    haha exellent français mon cher Ramon . better than my english I must say

  18. Effin' Bartlett Says:

    Zut alors! I waz looking for de comeek about ze fat orange chat! De won who ‘ate dee Mondayz. Sacre Bleu! Dat orange chat, he make me laugh.

  19. Usivius Says:

    Great strip. I’m just catching up now. It’s a treat to read a whole bunch all in a row.
    Rob won’t tell me the secret behind which ideas are real and which ones are made up though… (sadness)

    :)

  20. Billingsly Says:

    I like cheeses…

  21. Zolota Says:

    “Unfinished business”? Ooh…

  22. Reverend Tweek Says:

    Could it be? Is that, in fact *gasp* a ghettocino that Ramon Francois is partaking of? It’s a global phenomenon!!!

  23. Bedehem Says:

    Héhéhé … bien vu ! Rob & Ramon s’internationalisent, pour notre plus grand bonheur. Merci à tous deux !

  24. Roel Says:

    Hey Ramon, absolutely no ‘dick intentions’ here (as the first part of my message above testifies). I’ve been following the strip enthousiastically for quite some time, but I honestly had not recognized the Rob-character (perhaps I was still seeing him in catatonic modus, in my mind’s eye. Anyway, the real Rob could easily get a job here as a French waiter, that’s for sure! ;D), so the multiple joke that Dax suggests (?) was lost on me, alas!

    (@Obinna: thanks for your kind reaction, it did soften my amazement at Dax’s).

  25. Kristina Says:

    I kinda LIKE the glasses, keep on keeping on Ramon!
