There are TWO identical hats and TWO identical pairs of sunglasses. Therefore, the hat's not magic, folks.

Are you implying that there's an economy of hats?  There's no such thing as more than one magical hat?

I'm not saying I believe the hat is magic, but hell if 1, then possibly 2.  It is a logical conclusion.

Ray & Beef: *gasp!*
Ramses: The hell you think I left you and the woman. You are the son of a whiskey truck driver.

dude, no.

onstad took pains to make them look alike.

and i don't think mrs smuckles would cheat.  she seems like a good lady.

The title ruined it for me because I wasn't expecting a strip to be posted at 7pm or whatever.

Same here.
But it's AAAIIIGHT, Evan. The goodness of the strip more than made up for it.
And I think the rest of you pretty much exhausted all the other title possibilities. But I still think the Liv Tyler option would be the best.
By the way, I can't remember in which strip Beef said she looked "basically like an angel" or something.

Also, "If this were any more right you would be Liv Tyler"
How could this not have been the thread title.

Glad someone knows what's what.

I don't know about the rest, but Rodney is the Soul of the Fight. He's going to make them get busy. I'm less confident than I have been that Ray is going to win, but there is going to be some fighting. Rodney will be hugely impatient with all of this crap. He will want to see this Finished. He will be amazed and sickened that his son won't Do the Job.

Or he will have had a Realization in the years between and counsel them to just walk out and let the whole thing go, thereby turning the whole arc into a tubful of lukewarm, stringy crap.

I have... no idea what is going to happen.

This is an awesome damn plot twist.

Maybe Rodney is the dude who's been working the crane?  Maybe they're just hallucinating from the whiskey?

Either way, I want one of those hats...

The title did ruin it for me but all the same this is an interesting (if slightly cliched development).
I honestly can't see a good way for this to end, in my mind:
Ramses beats the crap out of those damn fools (after leaping over the fence of course)
OR
He is also Beef's Father! (which gives me this weird Abraham, Ishmael and Isaac vibe for some reason)
OR
He tells them no one should beat the crap out of a friend from small times just to win the Fight (kind of weak but with the right language it would work well)
OR
he tells them it's man time and they better come real (Is perhaps most basic idea).


All my versions end with him disappearing into the sunset, Ray and Beef unable to follow from inside the Fight.

So, I'm all kinds of pissed off right now - not about the strip, that's awesome.  More about the fact that I came to Europe in hopes that I would be able to make an original comment within the first few posts of the strip (I haven't really been commenting on this arc because by the time I get to it, everything's been said), seeing as how when I wake up here, it's about midnight PST, which is when Onstad usually posts the strips.  I wake up, have a little breakfast, turn on the computer, and A-HA!  new Achewood.  I come to the board, and....WHAT THE HELL!?  There's already 3 pages of posts.  Screw you, Onstad, for posting at 8PM when I came to Europe specifically to be able to comment on this arc.

So, this strip is good things, like fuzzy duckies in a sun-dappled pond.  No, wait, it's not as lame as that.  It's more like....treasure.

My first response to this was suspecting that Rodney was some kind of ghost. I'm not entirely sure that it isn't the case, but it seems kind of unlikely.

Instead of a g-host, Rodney is probably just Beef and Ray being exhausted and drunk off of Christian Brothers Brandy. All seeing shit or something? Wait no, probably not. Because Rodney is old looking. He has white hair, a white goatee, and white bushier eyebrows. Wow, that's some attention to detail right there.
