Post by: cellardoor on March 03, 2005, 11:47:56 am: Look at Phillipe go!
That's awesome.
Looks like that banjo is the devil's own. Or at least in the ownership of one of the lesser evils.
RooooxANNNNE!!

Post by: MSC on March 03, 2005, 01:19:12 pm: The banjo indeed appears to be the transmitter of demonism, but I think the t-shirt is the receiver. Ray should lose the shirt.

The Banjo and T-Shirt of Evil Something or Another.

The banjo makes everyone happy. Look at Beef. I like the second to last panel, with Teodor just looking on approvingly. I bet his hands are behind his back.

*Not being mean - that just seems like a nickname Chris would tack onto Bobby.

We don't need no steenkin' Chicken Recipe. The recipe for TOMORROW CHICKEN IS HERE: TODAY!

We have outgrown our gods and are ready for subjects of our own.

Steve Martin had a bit about this. Something about how the president could cushion bad news by playing the banjo at the same time.

I like how Ray's demonic stylings tend to match whoever's playing, all small and such when Beef takes over, for instance. Almost like the inner darkness of whoever's playing is being channeled into Ray. Keep that thing away from Lyle and Nice Pete.

I feel so worthless.

Post by: V-Adore on March 03, 2005, 05:02:26 pm: I'm not sure there's enough panels to do a proper Philippe Dance anim, but that doesn't keep me from wanting one. Also, mad props for the first Achewood in a while where Ray suffers because of others' joy and not vice versa.

Wasn't this an episode of TNG? Soon Ray will start getting all old and gray. Teodor will start calling him Great Uncle Ray or something.

Actually, who knows what would happen with Nice Pete, since he wears his inner darkness on his sleeve. Maybe his inner good would shine through instead.

Frankly I don't think anybody who says "here's a bag of their hands" has inner good.

Post by: EgoSumNoah on March 03, 2005, 07:25:00 pm: It would be sweet if Ray started rapping about Eustace K. Dobbs.

Every time something weird happens to Ray I wonder if it has to do with his deal with the devil or the little bird he ate. Prolly not.

Post by: sasquatch feeder on March 03, 2005, 07:57:48 pm: Onstad keeps the great storylines rolling. This is excellent.

I agree with MSC that the demon receiver is the t-shirt. Note the difference between Ray's lyrical stylings with ("AIIIIGHT!") and without ("Friendship Lane").

Nice touches: Phillipe's happy eyebrows while he's dancing and the way the room goes dark when Satan speaks through Ray. Also Beef's Ken Burns joke.

And who can't love Philippe's dance!

He will take you/If you run, he will chase you/Cause he is the Lord

Meanwhile, plucka plucka pluck.
