25 January 2005 - The Great Outdoor Fight

Not the direction I would have thought this thread was going...

Cool to see that Ray gets "rudest" from his mom.

Also, how long will it take before someone here registers www.greatoutdoorfight.com ?

I, too, am a lonely soul traversing the inter nets at three in the morning, clicking refresh on a web site which i have already visited five times in the last two hours...

IRT comic:
It seems that Ray is not as smooth as he pretends to be.  The anticipatory quivering exhibited throughout the strip is a dead giveaway.

This is starting to turn into one of the longest or at least twistiest stories in achewood. Shame on all those who boo'd down chatsack.

So Ray's pop was a real tomcat.  Hmmm.  Mrs. Smuckles seems to have lived wealthily for her entire life.  So perhaps she was a rich cat who just got knocked up.  It seems odd she would have a relationship with a man who wanted to spend an evening at a mean old dive.  But perhaps she just has a thing for a real man's... cat.  Anyway, this disclosure is confusing.

Then again, I guess it isn't clear weather or not Ray was born into money to begin with.  I mean, he did have his startups, so one might assume he is self-made, but that part of his character seems to have been abandoned in the story.

Ok, so Ethelia Smuckles, from a rich household, while in heat, is impregnated by a tomcat, and Ray, being born into extravagance but without a father figure, probably runs away and ends up becoming a show cat (or perhaps he is given away by his mother's human.)  Hmmm, no, they had to have been rich and together until at least Ray was in his little league years.  I suppose in his later teenage years he became the show cat, and after abandoning that life, decided to start from scratch to make himself a success.

Hmmm, but Mrs. S. certainly spent some time with this guy, they went out to bars MAN FUCK THIS IM GOING TO BED this will only make sense if Mrs. Smuckles is never seen again.

Maybe he was killed in a fight when Ray was a kitten.  MAYBE HE'S STILL ALIVE.

Man, seriously? This is where this story is going? Because it's great. The chatsack storyline was fairly standard stuff, but I love that it's managed to go off in such a crazy direction.

This is awesome. My favorite little detail is definitely how Mrs. Smuckles is not consuming the Chablis and the glass is full by the end of the strip.

wow. THE GREAT OUTDOOR FIGHT

'Stad is always at his best when his storylines bleed into each other.  Anyway, this is completely left field as far as I'm concerned but what I love most is the ridiculously machismo image on the website as Ray stares at it; contemplating.

Also Ramses Luther?  Strange mix of names that one.

they will go to the fight.
Ray's dad will be there, and he will still win the fight.
he will be one tough cat.
ray will not win the fight.

or: he will win, but not because of skill.

Or maybe he'll get in he fight, and will face an opponent who turns out to be his father, and things will get real Freudian.

Anyway, Ramses Luther is a frikkin awesome name. Sounds like Ray's father's of egyptian-protestant descent.

This took me right the hell out of nowhere.
  I want him to go and fight, only to find out that a certain Mr. Roast Beef has been secretly fighting and winning for the past several years. Then a faceoff between friends, at which point Beef will look at the ground and kick a rock and mumble something like
    "Damn  dogg I thought you were scared of the fight, I thought your Aveda consultant told you to take better care of you skin."

"Beef! I want you to do me a favour!"
"what is it dogg"
"I want you to hit me as hard as you can."

This storyline is excellent, but I hope it doesn't peter out before we actually get to the Great Outdoor Fight.

I would have liked it if Mrs. Smuckles met Nice Pete. 

Or Vlad.  Though I'm positive I'm not ready to see Mrs. Smuckles so nude.
