Title: Apr.16.2007 - Chapter One.
Post by: robot_god on April 16, 2007, 04:38:20 am: Strip (http://www.achewood.com/index.php?date=04162007)

Is there is a more appropriate title? Too many things in the book to single out one.

Post by: littlefallsmets on April 16, 2007, 04:41:48 am: My choice for title would be "nice, not my type"... but I'm weird, we've established this.

Man, what a quality twist on the Mad Libs riff from small times.

A+++ strip, fast delivery, expert packaging, would read again.

Post by: Enkidu on April 16, 2007, 04:44:31 am: I'd have put "depression played across his handsome features".

It was a good strip. "nothing to write home about" chest . . . heh.

The only time I've noticed my cats' lips is when they look up at me and their pouty lower kittylip is visible. It gives me a cute-attack every time.

Post by: Charles Nelson Mandela on April 16, 2007, 06:10:48 am: I would have gone for "depression played across his handsome features" as well.

All in all though, seems like we've been here before.

Just to add to the "Ray has latent tendencies" meme: Notice Ray had no problem writing an entire gay romance novel for Pat, but had to farm out the hetero gig.

Post by: V-Adore on April 16, 2007, 06:46:12 am: "Raunchy little tamale" is also pretty great.

I would imagine this is more for Beef's sake, not wanting him to think he'd been considering his lady in inappropriate ways (cf "Nice, not my type").

Dogs don't have lips, only mouth edges (http://achewood.com/index.php?date=10202006). As a result, dogs can't drink from straws. Cats can (http://achewood.com/index.php?date=03252004) drink from straws, therefore cats have lips.

Post by: Drygioni on April 16, 2007, 11:48:00 am: Haha, this is class. Even something as small as imagining Ray's finished submission form including phrases such as "The (insert location) my pool house" is a chuckle.

Post by: RMJ12345 on April 17, 2007, 12:05:52 am: What I love is the bluntness that Ray imparts on this little form. "Nice, not my type". He's clearly oblivious to eroticism, as evidence by:

http://achewood.com/index.php?date=07292002

Basically, the most eloquent eroticism Ray can come up with is "BONE!" Or "Happy Birthday."

What is with the sudden fascination with romance novels? Is he jealous of Cornelius?

THAT'S A GOOD ONE.

Seeing that in retrospect, it's kind of weird to think of Ray not talking about anything he does.

Post by: oball on April 17, 2007, 05:05:44 am: He did make a lot of videos he wasn't too proud of. (http://achewood.com/index.php?date=02032004)

Post by: rabidambulance on April 17, 2007, 08:09:07 pm: I go with "Molly, nice, not my type". I don't think Ray was trying to spare anyone. I think he's that oblivious.
