"Artists need to make money to eat and to continue to make art. Artists used to rely on middlemen to collect their money on their behalf, thereby rendering themselves innocent of cash-handling in the public eye. Artists will now be coming straight to you (yes YOU, you who want their music, their films, their books) for their paychecks. Please welcome them. Please help them. Please do not make them feel badly about asking you directly for money.” -Amanda Palmer

man can i say i am enjoying this storyline far more than most of the recent ones.  good to see achewood getting back to this offbeat, creepy humor that is the heart of the series.  i almost think i want to see some other characters other than ray interact with ch but on the other hand i'd like to see where this goes first.

The wine distribution panels are absolutely lovely to behold.
Great, great artwork.
Other thoughts, what is leaking from Cartilage Head's eyes?
Is that even wine in the glass?
Has Onstad recently watched The nightmare before christmas?

The cat has felt himself obliged to accept an ever-escalating series of tickets and offers pertinent to the deformed stage actor's reinterpretation of the vaudevillian freak-performer schema and lifestyle as persistent and audience-participatory surrealist art.

Not to mention that despite the fact that the deformed actor's manner is as polite and amiable as is possible despite his lack of eyelids and speech, and though a devoted fan would be immensely pleased for such an opportunity as to partake of a meal in his company, the cat's unpleasant reaction to the show continues to keep him on edge and make this a particularly harrowing experience.

Was that an audition to write the alt text?

So, today we find out that Cartilage Head is just some sort of wacky magician.

I think Ray is wondering the same thing.

I agree that this series has shown nice forays into some new artwork in achewood...Cartilage Head, his surroundings, and accouterments are all new territory, as are many new reactions and poses by Ray.

Truly, this arc has been beautiful.  Lovely, lovely artwork, and the alt-text is the best one-character summation of this craziness I could imagine.  The eagerness with which Ray hands over his wine glass ("Fuck yes, I'll have some wine...this is too creepy to deal with sober!") makes his trepidation in the last panel absolute comic gold.

Yes, I love the contrast between Ray's speed in handing over the wine glass ("holy shit, get some liquor in me, CH!") and his trepidation about the wine afterwards. I also love the wine dispensing device, which appears to work on magic. Absolutely beautiful.

Have I mentioned I love this arc?

My SO fails to be in the slightest way creeped out by CH. She, as of yet, doesn't get it.

Me, on the other hand... I want a CH wallpaper. If Trouble Man and No-No can have one, certainly Mr. Head, on stage, performing, can be rendered in big-screen.

Yeah, I love the dialogue-less strips.  The wine dispensery is wonderful.  I hope that Ray can chill out, be his usual Ray self, and enjoy CH's company, get to know what makes the man tick, etc.

But how come in the previous strip the glass already has wine in it, and in this one it is on the other side of the table, and empty?  Did Ray already drink the first bit?

I actually kinda don't. I think I'll like Ray more knowing that there are some times, some situations, where he can't do The Ray Thing.
