edit:  I've just discovered that "scrotums," while acceptable, is not preferred.  The preferred plural is "scrota."  This is much, much funnier.

So that means "scrotum" is, in fact, a neuter noun?  Whatever, Latin.  Way to assign gender to your nouns.

So much of Achewood consists of cats on phones.  It doesn't really get old.

Ray is all talking deridingly at Todd, assuming that Todd is an asshole, then BAM!... talkin' to mom.  Who's the asshole now?

It is interesting to see Ray being embarassed about his own work.  Deep down, does Ray feel like he is a being a fraud?  I would not have assumed that he ever thought such a thing, but this phone call makes me question that belief.

see, the issue is this:
Scrotum, scroti, nuet. does not refer to a man-sack, just a sack, or bag. Or... something like that. I cannot find my latin dictionary at the moment.
The actual word is "testiculus". I am not sure what this is the diminuitive of, but I'm sure it's something pretty amusing.

r_g, there is one being that can put Ray off his game, and that's his mom.  But that's the whole point; you've nailed it IMO.  Ray is taken from being all large and in charge, bossing his business partner around for making a personal phone call,... to a state of confused sadness because he knows he's a fraud when he can't answer his mom's simplest question.

I imagine Mr. Onstad may face a similar situation in his enterprise... trying to answer a mom, who can't imagine her son making a living from these stylized T-shirts bearing an entirely made-up booze label.  Drawings of naked animated stuffed animals with Christmas stockings over their privates!  That's not right!

Re: this thread's title, perhaps it would have been more appropriate if Martin Luther King, Jr.'s spirit had visited R.Q. Smuckles' place of business and purchased a tiny 'sack for his ghostly cellular phone.

I do not mean this in a derogatory way.  I'm just sayin' that even departed American heroes could be in the market for ChatSacks.

He already had to deal with his grandmother's reacition to the strip.
