            Yes, but the delivery as quoted in the post is identical to the line from Roger Rabbit. I don’t believe there is a similar line in Harvey itself.

          I think of Jason’s “friends” as basically the dudes who only hang out with jason despite the fact that they all think he’s kind of a dry bone. But on the plus side he always tags along with this one dude whose just a cut up. Like literally the whole room just erupts with a good belly laugh every time he tells a joke. Think of it as the Andy Richter/ Conan O’Brien kind of duo.

      My original guess was Baily’s but that much baily’s would put you in either a diabetic or alcoholic coma, so I’m going to punt and say “Mudslide”.

          It’s not impossible that it’s beer, but the dark colour of the beverage combined with the fact that it appears to be served in a highball glass is understandably making us think mixed drink. I doubt it’s pure Bailey’s, but I don’t think a Mudslide is out of the question.

            I’m of the opinion that it is just a drawing of a pint glass and she is drinking some sort of a darker beer — like maybe New Belgium’s “Fat Tire Ale”…. especially because in the first panel of yesterday’s strip the curly-haired guy in the bluish-colored shirt behind Sal was holding practically the same thing.

              In addition, since ice is cheaper than liquor, most bars will serve a mixed drink with a shitload of ice in the glass and a swizzle stick.

                  I’m trying to pry the Belgian brew out of long term memory that was brewed so that monks could stay true to their vows of not eating during Lent, but still get a fair amount of nutrition. It had the nickname of “liquid bread”. Such is the “joy” of brain damage and age, you remember that you know something, but you can’t remember what it was. I even remember drinking a glass, about 8 ounces worth (250 ml?) and it was a great beer with a very heavy mouth feel and a very yeasty finish, slightly sweet.

                  That’s the general legendry behind the various Trappist ales, at least. I don’t know of any one specifically associated with that, though.

                  If you’re looking for Trappist, though, Chimay is the place to start. It’s very good and easy to find.

              Maybe it’s just the shitty sample of bars I’ve been to, but it seems like light beers are generally more abundant than dark. It’s basically Sophie’s choice between light pisswater and Guiness.

              nb4 it’s improbably chocolate milk, like other people have suggested.

                If you’re going by types of beer, there are a lot more darker beers than there are lighter beers.

                If you’re going by sheer volume, the fact that the major mass-market beers are ‘Pale Lagers’ means that if you’re seeing a beer commercial you’re seeing something bright yellow.

                In any case, if you go back to the previous strip, every glass is filled with the same color substance, and I doubt everyone there is drinking mudslides 😉
