@achewood I once had the idea that, if only for a moment each night, everyone in the world was asleep at the same time. It made the world manageable.

No one's posted about this yet? Okay.

The subtitle joke seems oddly superfluous and I don't think he really needed to waste two panels setting it up. The parkour stuff kind of made up for it.

This is just... weird. Weird in an interesting way, but weird. I'm curious what was going through Onstad's head on this one. On the other hand, the utterly gratuitous leaping was a plus.

Upon a second read, my guess on the subtitles thing is that it's a cover for Onstad not finding anywhere he wanted to put the word balloons in this one. Clever, though.

I've seen those Parkour guys.. they're nuts.  

Anyway, for a dude of some gravity Raymond Smuckles certainly knows how to punish a young dude with flair.

You go Mr. Raymond Smuckles; I salute you.

If there ever was an acrobatic dis attack, this is it. Dude has got blah blah etc.

I like to call Parkour "Freestyle Running" and say me and my buddies came up with it. Why on earth hadn't I heard it had been invented before?

That is a view of Ray's thong I could've done without.

There is only one word to describe this strip: WTF.

Did anyone really want to see Ray's taint?  Why would Onstad think we would want to see Ray's taint.  The man has been obsessed lately with showing everyone cat genitals.

Favorite detail? The obvious equipment bulge we see in the 2nd to last panel.  WTF?  I thought the equipment for a cat was all on the inside?  I guess I understand why Ray needs a thong now.  The dude needs it.

I enjoy the alt-text on this one. The philosophy section of the Parkour website is pretty insufferable.

My favorite detail is Teador as a dot in the background of panel 3.

God, this is brilliant!
Great spot there August, I missed that.
This is all the sweeter to those who've previously been exposed to the dire "street art" of Parkour.
Further proof that even when just wandering about the French are still pretentious and annoying. Hoo ha!

I'm a fan of the subtitles' apparent need to explain, in panel three, that Ray is (standing).
