It's like the Click Five to Cartilage Head's Joy Division. I guess. I know what the alt.text said, but maybe he shouldn't let the baby write comics for at least a couple more months.

Ha ha, this made me laugh.
And then the alt-text secured the funny.

A lesser comic artist would have not noticed that for the shoes to appear correctly while running in the opposite direction, Ray must reattach them on the other side. Now that's attention to detail.

filler!


If you make a post that has no content except to call the comic filler when you don't necessarily have that opinion but are just responding to someone else's threat and are presumably posting just for the sake of posting is your post still filler?

Damn I'm a hostile young man today.

I stared at a start new thread window for fully five minutes before I realised I had nothing to say about this comic that warranted a new thread. It made me laugh but only after I spent about a minute staring at it going 'what am I missing here?'

I do like the way Ray takes off the shoes then looks up, sees the audience still there and goes back to... whatever that is.

Would have liked it better without the alt-text, just because then thread title choosing would have been hell.

EDIT: OH God, they're not real shoes, holy shit I'm an idiot. I was wondering what the hell was going on.

I assumed they were glowing shoes and had no idea WTF was happening in the fifth panel on. Now I am illuminated. Thanks, TOUAMB.

While this one isn't very funny or interesting, it's hard to fault the man for trying to do something different, because when you pull off something weird that doesn't have any dialogue, man, that's fuck*ng entertainment.

This isn't, but they can't all be gems.  I will look for my free entertainment elsewhere today, I guess.

Oh you're just a little off your game because you found out that if you and your buddy are in the presence of an agresssive homo, the homo will choose your buddy, not you.  Don't worry Doc, you're lips are dick-suckable too.

Anyway, I really liked the strip - it's the weirdness of it that I enjoy.  I like that Ray is all full of some sort of back story we don't know that involves panic - he looks so damn scared.

Didn't make me laugh, but did make me ponder.

I too thought Ray's shoes were glowing at first. I had to look at the rotating panels a couple times before I got it.

So is he on sentry duty or something?

Dude's only flauntin' his sick inkjet wingtips.  Lay off.

I enjoyed this strip immensely but it is only the latest to be categorized as It Would Be Unfortunate If This Was The First Achewood Strip A Person Saw.  (see also)

It amused me, but in a chuckle-haha way.. not a way that makes me tingly in my #####.

It's very similar to Ray's antics with the Motorcycle.

So it's satire, is it?  Well that changes everything!
