Sarah Kelly says that Rays dad is still alive! and you believe her? The woman lives in a dumpster and refuses to move into a normal home thats paid for! Look who's talking' and international spy spending the day as my coffee mug. actually Im a "Liquid chip" in the coffee itself! drop the mic!
I don’t agree that the strip has jumped the shark but I’m getting a bit tired of the ancillary “Ray’s background” arc. Ray’s rehabilitation has been interesting and I think he’s a good addition to the strip. But, by diving this deeply into his background, the core elements of the strip have suffered. Is Ray’s dad alive? Is he Crunchy’s nephew by marriage? Is Ray’s mother crazy? Will we ever see Carla’s face? Frankly, I don’t care. I will come back when it’s time for Joe to bathe the kids or Sunny berates her lazy friend or Olivet sleeps in her uncle’s enormous hands.
