Hm... I don't know about this one. (http://achewood.com/index.php?date=01212008) This could be the start of a really entertaining story arc, but I've got a nagging suspicion that Onstad just got pissed off at a guy outside the supermarket, and this is all we're gonna get before Mayor C recovers. I'm diggin' the boom mikes, though. Have we seen those before?

High pressure lemon juice would hurt like bats.

I'm hoping for a Raymo Smookels arc, myself.

Headline on my RSS feed: "There is a new Mayor"
noooooooooooooooo
-
It's OK, Carlos! There is room for more than one mayor!
-
This could lead somewhere... or not.
-
Better politician: Mayor Smuckles or President Phillipe?
-
Headline on my RSS feed: "There is a new Mayor"
noooooooooooooooo
That is the first thing I thought of, too -- that you had been deposed!
-
Legendary alt-text on this one.
-
The golf course is where the real business is conducted. Another heart attack at Ray's club brings him an unexpected adventure.
-
Love the Raymo Smookles shout-out.
-
Ray's expression in the second panel is basically treasure. Bereft of visible eyes and mouth, he nevertheless manages to project an air of "well-meaning but not completely sincere guy who's entirely out of his league and looking for an escape route." That's a lot of nuance for an Adobe Illustrator drawing.
-
It never clicked that Mayor C was an actual mayor. I thought it was just a music industry nickname.
-
Yeah, anything to combat those fuckers in front of the grocery stores. Anything.
I am actually more-or-less fine with the homeless bugging me in public places. They are homeless, that is kinda their last resort. I'm sympathetic.
But if I'm just trying to buy coffee and milk and I gotta hip-check five assholes pimpin' for and against Proposition RDRR - The Stand-Up Comic Pirate Admendment... fuck. Fuck. These people have jobs and homes and no excuse for being dicks to me other than the fact that they really really wanna feel concerned or... don't want Native Americans to get a little slice of the pie back in casinos because they're fuckin' racist or what have you.
We invented talk radio and the internet for you people, just so you could talk about these things all you wanted. Let me buy my fuckin' milk.

You drink milk? You murderer!

I'm just going to float a totally unsubstantiated bit of gossip here:
Chris Onstad is a Republican.
pass it on.
-
I sure hope nobody's mama sprays hot bloody fat on Ray.

Well, if crotchety=republican, then I'm totally with ya on that one.

Um, yeah. That would suck now, wouldn't it. (Am I missing something here?)
-

Yes. Yes you are. (http://achewood.com/index.php?date=05202004)
-
Am I the only one who always assumed that Mayor C = Chris as in Onstad?
My mind is bloooooown.
-
Ahh, ok. I really need to go through some of the older stuff again, it's been awhile. Apologies to Ruddy.
-
For a minute, I thought Ray might have to turn Cunty the sardine's pond into an apartment for oblivious posters.
-
We will watch this strip's career with great interest. It could be the start of something grand, or just another gee-shucks-Ray-was-born-with-the-Midas-touch kind of thing that dies a slow death.
-
I, for one, have yet to tire of Ray's Midas Touch.
-
I sure hope nobody's mama sprays hot bloody fat on Ray.
Canned.

Could be. Although people seem to think that Teodor is the most likely Onstad avatar and he was clearly pushing Philippe's campaign into more liberal territory.
-
I'd reckon, only from comic-strip and blog inference, that Onstad is like a lot of artistic and computer technology-y types... very liberal in theory but significantly more moderate in practice.
I don't think a deeply-conservative guy could nail what is so annoying about Pat's extreme-lefty fascism without being a dude who is basically a lefty but is schooled in the ways that being too extreme about it don't work in practice.
You sort of have to be a member of a group to understand the differenciation within a group that perfectly.
Many of my more conservative friends would quickly sketch out the picture of "The Comedy Liberal Stereotype" as a wishy-washy spacey-wacey bleeding heart who doesn't want to offend a fly, let alone harm one.
I think you have to be of the tribe to understand the supreme stodginess of the exaggerated Naderite such as Pat.
