Cartilage Head looks sort of like Marathe's wife in Infinite Jest.

It's going to be a couple weeks before I stop relating everything to that damn book. But don't worry, I'm meeting Terry Pratchett tonight and finally starting Discworld.

If you're like most people I know you'll never fully escape the trajectory of that book.

Is this a reaction to recent (apt) criticism that achewood was getting too sitcom-ish?  Is Onstad silently keeping tabs here?

[Golfhaus]

Awesome strip. I, too, enjoy the don't-really-want-to-go-but-can't-pass-up nature of Ray's acceptance of the ticket.

[BatzRadio]

Cartilage Head looks for all the world like he belongs in a Liquid Television short.

Or maybe a Silly Symphonies reel that creeped Walt Disney the fuck out so much that he buried it in the deepest, darkest pit in Anaheim.

I approve.

Also, what on earth is Ray holding at the end there

A rolled up program?

That would make sense. I apparently fell victim to I THOUGHT THIS WAS A 7 PANEL STRIP again, so sorry that my comments made no sense.

I looked at this in class again, noticed the outright horror at the bottom, and gave a similar reaction to Ray here.

I am really quite scared. The weepings from his eyes are the thing of nightmares.

this strip makes me wonder, once again: am i the only person who can put his finger on the bridge of his nose and make a loud clicking noise by moving the cartilage back and forth?

everyone gets really grossed out when i do this, it's kind of funny.

I make a very quiet noise doing that, but if I grab the cartilage it makes lots of noice. Do you have a huge nose like I have a huge nose?

For a sold-out show the theatre seems awfully empty.

[AlohaDawg]

It never said it was sold out - just that the tickets were only available outside of the open market.

Like, it's so weird and alternative that you have to know someone.

Which it seems to be....yuck.

This is a good example of a strip that lives entirely on the drawing - I love Ray's suit and and the subtle changes of his face and body position.

grabbing the cartilage results in a small noise. i think i have a moderately sized nose. honestly, i think we might just have freak noses--i've never met anyone else who can do this, across the nose size spectrum.

i feel bad for the nosebleed guy, but i still laughed.

Hey... hey, Brits!

"It's NOT finished!"

"........It's finished!"

Huh? Huh? Who's with me.

[takethemoneyandRUN]

HAHAHA, holy crap this strip was gold.

No sir, you are not the only one.  It's not too loud, but I can definitely feel some sort of audible pressure relief when I do it.  Figured it out after sinus surgery several years back, with nothing else to do with my sweet, sweet Codeine Time.

This strip is NOT handicap accessible.  There are no invisible jokes.

[tcc]

yet another weird nose here - just a small click

good strip too

[pubdoggy]

Fancy that. I didn't even crack a hairline smile for this one. Ray's swinging arms ARE distracting, his lounge suit is nice but the drawing of cartilage head did nothing for me, you know, down there.
