still called it

Yeah, still I guess you're not reading the arc, because you didn't call it at all.  Ray and Beef aren't sharing victory in the Fight - they're taking down the Fight.  There will be no winner because there will be no one left to proclaim a winner.  Ray and Beef will deny themselves victory by eliminating the competition in its entirety, already in progress.

I am loving the drawings of the Jeeps. I've always liked how the painstakingly detailed, vectorised drawings of cars in Achewood completely clash with the characters. It's excellent.

The GOF would translate perfectly to cinema. Reading it is like watching a pretty fun action movie in snippets.

Ray is going to have to fight and possibly kill his dad

You KNOW an arc is good when I actually look forward to going to work in the morning because I can't wait to see what happens next.

Ray is All Business. But now that Beef has snapped out of it, I smell victory close at hand.

Also, the plushie theory seems more true than ever. I guess the driver simply panicked at the flame burst, and shoved the accelerator? Don't know how else he could've wheelied like that. Maybe the oxygen rushing by fueled the flames to get as big as they did.

Something is missing from this first post. SHAME.

Also: Steak Diane recipe

We got everything covered here.

it took Beef getting behind the wheel of something to snap out of his "Afraid of Jeeps" paralysis. There's symbolism here, I'm sure of it.

I know this is blasphemy, but I'm about ready for the GOF to be over.

[jough]

I think he'll need another week to wrap up the Ramifications and Circumstances, but yeah, it's about over now, I think.

WE RETURN FRIDAY

What would make the best background music for this stretch of the story, starting with the gates opening and the Jeeps roaring in.

I thinking either spaghetti western theme music, something heavy on the wailing trumpet and strumming of Spanish guitar, or guitar rock. And not any guitar rock...I'm thinking maybe Davie Allan.

Oh hell no, this scene is totally set to heavy metal.

"I love the smell of Christian Brothers in the morning!"

[V-Adore]

"Smells like victory!"

The copy-pasting of the CRAKCRAKCRAKCRAK panel is classic, and Q makes a good point about the overall eloquence of the sound effects this arc. I mean, Onstad's still no Don Martin, but who is these days?

Maybe it's due to my first impression of Ted Cobb as Sex Machine of "From Dusk Till Dawn", but I keep listening to Tito and Tarantula all the way. Psychomariachibillyboogie or whatever you wanna call it.

I'm hearing the chorus of "O Fortuna" from Orffs Carmina Burana here.

You all have heard it but I can't describe it and hardly anyone knows it by name.  But it's awesome.
