You mean Ravishing Rick RUUUDE?

[miles]

Yeah, yeah, everybody says they want a t-shirt with Education "I... AM... RUUUDE!" on it, but then make one and hardly anyone buys one.

If I had a nickel for everytime I said I'd buy a shirt with something on it, saw the shirt, and didn't buy it, I'd have like 38 cents.

[theinevitable]

mannn.
do you think he means "rude" as in "ska"? Because ska is exciting to me, at my age. It just made me laugh to hear someone at a show yesterday calling things "rude" other than titties.

[Roger]

I was a bit let down at first, but then it only makes sense: why would Ray waste some icky move, or even break a sweat, over a guy who's basically rolling on the floor?
I wish we had seen some of S+M's fighting moves though, if he had any.
But the cut from Ray's landing directly to the crane shot is great. That's rhythm, people. Onstad's all about the book he's gonna put together once this arc is done.

Perhaps it is like the Christmas Truce.

Didn't something like that also happen in 1944 during the battle of the Ardennes? Maybe it's something about the Belgian winter that brings out the best in people, right before they resume killing one another.

It's great that you mentioned it, because now I realize that pork pie hats (if that's what Ray's wearing) were also part of the Rude Boy subculture born in Jamaica in the early '60s. Where "rude" meant "cool" or "hip". So, if you think that Ray's jumping on a guy while shouting "I... AM... COOOOOOOOL!" it gets even funnier.

The point was to demonstrate that Ray has, to quote Beef "a cruel sense of humor". That is what builds a rep. Any idjit can step on the hippie, the overkill in doing an elbow drop was part of the joke at Sound And Motion's expense. The rep is that Son of Rodney is a fighter with a brutally quirky style.

Plus, I gots to dig Sound's ponytail dangling from the shovel. Man.

Hate to say it, but the last couple'a strips have been a small pinch of a letdown.

I was expecting a little more ultraviolence, given the buildup.  You know, something like you'd see in a movie with bad dubbing and a lot of Hong Kong actors kicking the crap out of each other and bad color balance and young Quentin Tarantino all young and sitting cross-legged too close to the TV and saying "ooooooh."

This isn't to say that many of the details, such as "rude" and the crane, and "doesn't like music." etc. haven't been great, but big-picture wise, where's the insane action we've been lead to expect?

This strip contains a make-out scene in the second panel, confirming that Ray wants to get it on with Beef like a million times a day.

To paraphrase Kibo -- dude, your kink is NOT OKAY.

Dammit, now that's ALL I can see when I look at the strip again.  It takes a special talent to completely and permanently warp an image, a can for you sir.

My policy for any piece of clothing is that if it is over 10 dollars and will not keep me warm during a New England winter, it is not for me. Sorry, man. Maybe if it were like a very fine fleece jacket with "Education" on the back.
But I am a woman so you never know. I might just go on some sort of buying rampage.

I, too, am disappointed about Ray only beating up two dudes and having a huge following over it. I expected FAR more owning.

Does it seem to anybody else like it would be impossible to sleep at the GOF? So by the end of the third day, all the dudes have gone insane from sleep deprivation. Maybe Son of Rodney's guys could like, stand guard while he gets a power-nap.

Look at Leander resume his familiar creepy hand-rubbing pose as soon as Ray dismounts, all enamored with Son of Rodney's execution.  For Leander, this is like some sort of fantasy camp where you pay $3000 to spend a weekend hitting softballs lobbed by 1970s Yankees, eventually coming across a passed out Reggie Jackson and turning him onto his stomach so that he doesn't choke on his own puke.

[Doc]

See I thought Leander was clapping, he is just so full of joy at watching the Son of Rodney do his thing.

[Tangle]

I definitely saw it as a hands-clasped-together thing. And in his mind he's going "yes...excellent."

I sent a baseball card to Reggie Jackson to autograph, in a SASE, mind you, and he never sent it back.  Asshole.
