Title: Asian Lamb - 19th September 2005
Post by: cellardoor on September 19, 2005, 09:20:55 am

I feel bad for starting the topic as I have nothing to say about this strip.
Well, nothing nice anyway.
Problem with being surreal is that you're forever standing on the edge of lapsing into self-parody.
Oh, look how weird this strip is. Ha...ha?
I just want Ray to say "hella" or for Beef to be unhappy.
Sigh.

Edit: Actually, that second panel is kinda lush. There you go, it's not all bad.

What's going on in this strip?

Yeah, panel 2 rocks. Transcendant wine was never better realized in art form.

This arc is getting sadder and sadder for me. Cartilage Head is so nice and yet SO CREEPY so he gets no recognition for being the former. Poor Ray. Poor CH. Poor everybody. Dammit.

Coffee, Strawberries, Banana, Grape, Cinnamon.

German red wine? It's conceivable, but only just.

Two things:

I love the look on Ray's face when an unseen hand "KLANK"s the food down in front of him.

I also love the fact that CH plays an instrument very analagous to himself (in both tone and appearance nonetheless, now THAT is a class act).

The only thing I'm wondering, is why after a cornucopia, so to speak, appears in panel 2, does the vino go all kinds of clear on dang ol' Ray?

So was the click the door being locked or just the server leaving the room?

Did I hallucinate last week someone saying CH should play the singing saw?  I swear I saw that somewhere but now I can't find it AND IT'S TRUE.

See, I interpreted this as CH's singing saw playing somehow making the food materialize, much like he previously dispensed wine. Even if it is just an unseen server, it's transcendently creepy.

I love this arc more than I can properly convey in words.

I took the click as the door locking. Ray kind of looks startled.

Ray's weeping again.

Ray weeping is sort of creepy because, as far as I know, we've never seen Ray cry for any genuine reason before -- typically it's because of blatantly (http://www.achewood.com/index.php?date=03162004) supernatural (http://www.achewood.com/index.php?date=05162005) causes, and while CH is pretty supernatural himself, I don't think he's exactly forcing Ray to cry. It's interesting to watch Ray really, truly have an unnerved reaction to something.

If you mean this one, (http://www.achewood.com/index.php?date=03162004) it was my first link. Or was there another A BLOO BLA BLOO BLOO BLOOOOO strip that I'm forgetting now?
