2-1-05: Go into the garage and smell metal stuff. Instead.

Subject is my favorite part of the comic, the fullstops putting an awkward kind of pause in there that I found intriguing.

Why am I always up around the time these get posted?

Ker-PLUNK.  That's the sound of the joke hitting the pavement like a lead elephant.

I am intrigued by the continuing tiny windows, though.

I laughed at "L@@K INTO YOUR PAST." But it was only a chortle.

The format is really very nice, though. Also, I'm confused by what the bottom of the strip is supposed to represent -- Ray writing his name on the film of your mind, perhaps?

Lawnmowers do smell good.  Too bad I don't have one.  Tomorrow, my goal is to smell a lawnmower.

The "L@@K INTO YOUR PAST" was a nice touch.  It's what everyone mentions when making fun of eBay, but with a nice spin.

I was also confused by the big bottom panel.  I couldn't even come up with that much.  Also, when he is spreading his arms and squeaking, shouldn't the grid he's up against be erased?  Unless, that is, we can't see the part of the grid he's in contact with...you know...down there...

Agreed. The cat is high for an implausible amount of time. We may be whimsical, but it is tempered by sensibility.

SENSIBLE WHIMSY.

Maybe Ray is doing more hits off camera.  Either that or he's smoking God's Own Pot.

He's breaking the 4th wall, writing directly on the back of your monitor.

I have a lawn mower.  You are welcome to come over and smell it.

Wrong comic, but I just read this one yesterday, so it's a perfect fit.

I agree with Jough's opinion basically 100%, which makes me sad and scared.

I very strongly disagree. I don't know why y'all aren't into this thing.
He's only been high for three strips and they really are classic: Pans, driftwood, 45 degree angles and smelling things that are metal.
I don't expect it will go beyond today, but these are delicious strips.

Ray's writing his name on your monitor like kids do in the dirt on your car to say "wash me".

I like that the clock only goes to three o'clock and then time ceases to exist. These strips really are great I mean Ray is doing things that he finds so profound and mind-blowing but they are just odd. "Camping is the ultimate expression of habitation." "What?"... seriously that's gold!
Achewood is the ultimate expression of a cat getting high and blowing my mind.
