No one's posted about this yet? Okay.
The subtitle joke seems oddly superfluous and I don't think he really needed to waste two panels setting it up. The parkour stuff kind of made up for it.
-
This is just... weird. Weird in an interesting way, but weird. I'm curious what was going through Onstad's head on this one. On the other hand, the utterly gratuitous leaping was a plus.
Upon a second read, my guess on the subtitles thing is that it's a cover for Onstad not finding anywhere he wanted to put the word balloons in this one. Clever, though.
-
I've seen those Parkour guys.. they're nuts.
Anyway, for a dude of some gravity Raymond Smuckles certainly knows how to punish a young dude with flair.
You go Mr. Raymond Smuckles; I salute you.

Ladies and Gents, Tim Simmons (http://www.achewood.com/index.php?date=02042004) is back in town!

If there ever was an acrobatic dis attack, this is it. Dude has got blah blah etc.
I like to call Parkour "Freestyle Running" and say me and my buddies came up with it. Why on earth hadn't I heard it had been invented before?

That is a view of Ray's thong I could've done without.
-
There is only one word to describe this strip: WTF.
Did anyone really want to see Ray's taint? Why would Onstad think we would want to see Ray's taint. The man has been obsessed lately with showing everyone cat genitals.

Favorite detail? The obvious equipment bulge we see in the 2nd to last panel. WTF? I thought the equipment for a cat was all on the inside? I guess I understand why Ray needs a thong now. The dude needs it.
-
I enjoy the alt-text on this one. The philosophy section of the Parkour website is pretty insufferable.
-
My favorite detail is Teador as a dot in the background of panel 3.
-
God, this is brilliant!
Great spot there August, I missed that.
This is all the sweeter to those who've previously been exposed to the dire "street art" of Parkour.
Further proof that even when just wandering about the French are still pretentious and annoying. Hoo ha!

Li'L' NEPHEW JUST GOT SERVED!

I'm a fan of the subtitles' apparent need to explain, in panel three, that Ray is (standing).

well, if you were blind, a text to speech generator could clue you in.
-
True enough. Good to know that Achewood remains all about handicapped accessibility.

He just got f'd in the a.

I don't really think that Onstad understands the concept of Closed Captioning. (http://achewood.com/index.php?date=12152004)

I tried to educate him on the matter, but it fell on deaf ears.
-
This strip has totally invaded my mind and all I can think about is parkour.
Have you seen the picture where the dude is jumping over the gap in the roof of the stadium!? THE DUDE HAS GOT NO MERCY!
I think parkour may be the awesomest thing to happen to my life.
Thank you Achewood for educating me.
-
My favourite detail here has to be that Teodor is actually facing the box that holds Ray's head (and Ray is facing him) in panel 8.

I can't decide whether I should mock the people who do this or take it up myself.
-
Combine parkour with infiltration (http://www.infiltration.org/) and you've got yourself a sport. They could call it Infiltour, and only the most merciless dudes could compete.
Today I am a genius.
-
Good lord people will latch on to anything, won't they? Remember "flash mobs" and "culture jamming"? No? That's because they were dumb as hell.
-
Hey ... hey, wait just a moment, how are we hearing the UNPH in the last panel?!
So much Ray again.
I love panel 8 to death too.

We can hear Teodor panting as well. Apparently on the vocal mics were malfunctioning.
-
Yeah, the unph and the pant pant pant are just the Foley guy screwing around.
-
So, if Ray was not able to piece together what Lil' Nephew was doing before, why did he tear the car apart? Was he just that mad that LN was in a lame (but sensible) car?
-
I'd heard of parkour before. I think it sounds cool.

I think what you meant to say is it sounds assinine. I'm ashamed of Teodor a little bit actually.

My cousin used to (when he was like 16 or younger) do this thing called--and I don't know if it was actually called this, it just makes sense to--freestyle walking. I think his shoes had little plastic thingies on the soles, and he would slide down rails and do all sorts of crazy shit. The kind of things kids do with skateboards, you know. I thought it was the dumbest thing ever, but he loved it. This seems a lot like that...? Also something you'd expect from teenagers. So yes, shame on you, Teodor.
fuck*ng teenagers.
-
I can see Teodor getting into something trendy, just not something like Parkour.
-
Yeah, well, back in the day my friends and I used to dose and then we'd walk around and find stuff and climb on it and jump around and do weird crap. But we didn't have a special name for it.
Wait, we did. We called it tripping.
But you didn't have to wear special shoes. Although you could if you wanted to.
-
i once ran to an object, climbed over it, and then ran away.
i also once fell into a bush, screaming, in order to disconcert high school students touring a college campus.
apparently i should start a cult, i could make millions.
-
Dudes!
Parkour is asinine but so what!?
Rather than walking around trying to avoid people's gazes, a parkour dude is looking at shit that he can do flips on!
It is more than your dad's jogging. It is EXTREME jogging. Jogging where at any moment you could make a mistake that breaks you femur! That is so fuck*ng cool. Plus have you seen the picture where parkour man is jumping over a stadium? A STADIUM?!

I think Téodor is onto something here. I back that dude up.
-
A lot of those things are impressive athletic achievments. However, to pawn a style of running off as a philosophy is ridiculous. Did you read the philosophy section? "Parkour is similar to the yin and the yang in that it contains two basic selections (fluid vs. hard movements)" or whatever it says...that's an ultra-pretentious way of saying that Parkour requires strength, agility, and finesse. The reason it's stated the first way and not the latter is that virtually all sports require strength, agility, and finesse.

Hey now! I met my wife at a flash mob! We put up wedding invitations around town, which read: "Our wedding has a posse."
-
I think parkour/free running/whatever you call it sounds like a pretty awesome hobby to have even if the philosophy is bull. It will be especially useful in case of zombie apocalypse.
-
I think I would have had a lot of fun doing the flash mob thing... but by the time I'd heard of them, they'd already stopped doing them.
Plus, I live in southeast Virginia, which as has been noted, isn't the epicenter of the nation's social activity.
-

also because it's probably not a sport, since it would be basically impossible to compete at running around like a god-damn fool.
