@achewood I am composing a tone poem about eagles, lawnmowers, and Ted Nugent. It is composed only of the sounds of those things.

Jamie the Science friend is a terrible TV moniker, but I suppose it beats Bill Nye the Science Guy by a few metres at least.

Also, a faux Mexican chihuahua accent is not how I want to get today's latest atom and molecule news.

Further Also, I like how in the second panel you can see Ray was attempting to figure it out on his own; the basic methods of which involved a simple flashlight and the opening of a panel.  Such is the explorations a la Ray.

Edit: Further astute commentary by yours truly, really I'm very sorry about this.

Panel four is perfect, the essence of Ray.

You're also assuming I'm not "craaaazy"

I mean.. I don't have a [Sane] stamp on my hand or anything.  I guess I'll check and see if it's written on my underwear later.

What I'm wondering is was Ray's printer jammed/broken or was he just looking inside with a flashlight because he was bored and curious?

I say the latter. Sometimes a man just needs to Investigate.

This is funny and all, but I'm not quite feeling it. Maybe once CH isn't so fresh.

Ray in the last panel was the final punchline for me, just very Ray to do the (supposed) hollywood thing of 'We love you, you should do that on tv. Now here are all the things you should change.'

So when Ray asked how it worked, and Beef started to explain how, I thought Ray was pissed because he was wondering about stuff like:  how to turn it on, how to install the drivers, how to connect it to the computer.  Stuff like that.  But he really wanted to know how it worked.  Why the fuck did he want to know that?

I originally read this as "Jaime the science FIEND" and totally think it sounds better. Some wacky latino just FIENDING for Science, baby, FIENDING!


Also: not scandinavian hip-hop, but much much better:Bollywood Meets Beatles (choreography: Luigi Galvani)

Just because? I have often wondered how a laser printer works, and now, thanks to Achewood, I know.

I have Beakman's autograph. I saw him do a show LIVE at a children's science museum. It changed my life forever (I took an introductory science course once).

Beakman is the best by far. Bill Nye was just a ripoff.
