ALSO:  hello everyone!  i have not been here in 3 years.

If I had not posted in 3 years, this is probably the strip that would have brought me back, as well.

Drew - drop $20 in the tip jar and I'll make your custom title anything you damn want.

Beatrice - welcome back, dear.  I will expect more from you, because quite frankly thus far you have not lived up to your potential.

Wombat - Damn right that was the most appropriate title.

Everyone who mentioned it - I didn't even notice the double equals sign, but that is yet another nice detail of this strip.

There is much goodness just PACKED into this one.  Just about every panel has something funny in it.

I don't know if Onstad's hitting the sauce heavier or laying off of it so his baby doesn't have to cry, but whatever he's doing I hope nothing happens to break this run of quality free entertainment.  That's how we like our entertainment around here.

New bet on end of storyline: Beef comes along and ends up somehow inadvertently winning the GOF.

I'd be more willing to believe Beef gets killed in the GOF. Perhaps this leads into him finding out the story of Molly Sanders.

But oddly enough, the part that really makes this one for me is the double-equals in "Rodney Leonard Stubbs == Ramses Luther Smuckles". Because a single-equals is assignment, and that'd be a bug!

One of the rare treasures of this strip.

I don't want to have to go research about Hugenots and what not, but if the Smuckles are of French descent, isn't "Luther" a bit of an inappropriate name?

His mom is probably the one with Frog blood in her.

I'd bet Dad is Cockney. Or Irish.

"Attention Workers, it has been 127.." is clearly my favorite.  Notice he doesn't say "Attention Shoppers we have a deal on utter stupidity in aisle 9."  No, it's some generic "Worker" at a plant concerned with OSHA.

Perhaps he has been influenced by Philippe's recent adoption of "communism."

I don't want to get into a whole thing about it, but that is clearly not an assignment. == is a test for equality, and after that operation returned true, Beef realized.

I don't know of any language that uses == for assignment, and I think Onstad probably knows what's up.

I'm sorry, I'm trying to use all my CS abilities before they leave my head upon graduation.

Oh, is it a computer thing? Now it makes sense AND makes me laugh.

The alt text says Carl was disqualified.  Was this for not having most of a head?

I thought "DQ" stood for "Dairy Queen."  "Disqualified" is probably better.

It would be worse if his family was Catholic, like most of the French population.  At least Luther and Huguenots have Protestantism in common.

This strip is one hell of a case study for anyone out there who's still crusading for the Power of the E-Comic, or somesuch whatnot. For at a first glimpse, today's strip promised yet another serving of Ray 'n' Beef banter, but a quick roll of the scrollbar was all that separated me from that glorious display of BLOOD AND GORE.

If I was reading that on a newspaper or magazine my eyes would be immediately drawn toward the butchery.

Speaking of it, is this the first occurrence of The Old Ultraviolence in Achewood?

Well Ray ripped his own head off but that was clearly more "cartoony." In terms of realism or being slightly disturbing I'd say the closest we've seen was Cartilage Head.

"red nickname"... a nickname that carries with it the stigma (pun not intended) of blood...

I think the depiction of Ray's junk in the John and Deanster April Fools strip was as gritty and real as Achewood gets, like an episode of NYPD Blue.

As an aside, does the junk break down solely into the pepper and rad chilies or does it also account for the surrounding pubics?  I really need to know, I'm studying for a test!

An awesome strip and I can't say much about it except that the dude's name is Carl Veldt, not Carl Veidt like in the topic.
