I think Onstad accidentally left off a few panels at the very end, there. Teodor's yeast infection is pretty good, though.

I think the most important point has been overlooked.


That point is EMERIL.

I think O here was going for the "everyone back together again" thing.  But there are a few notable absences I would've liked to see again.

Andy & Chucklebot:  The rest of the droid contingent showed up, what gives?
Molly: Well?
O Himself: Could've stood to see the old Neck Down again.
Spongebath's Scooter: What the hell he just sits on the ground?
and
Rodney: What the hell?  No showdown?  No Fatherly Advice?

Although the "Ray" banner is a thing of beauty.


PostScript: This grammar is so bad, I'm not even going to fix it.  How do you like THAT.

I've been dying for some Vlad. Though brief, his appearance has filled me with Great Happiness. Extra points for the Bobby D haircut.

Notice Pat standing behind Vlad.  No one even says anything to him.  He looks riled up.

Nah, no more GOF.  We got the ~Fin~

A lacklustre end to a great story arc.   Can't wait to get back to regular non sequitur strips.

The thing is, Ray doesn't actually remember Philippe.

Isn't that Todd next to Mr. Bear? He hasn't said anything either. Maybe he's in shock. I think I would be.

I think this strip captures the slightly awkward congratulatory feel that one would have.

I am soooo sleeep deprivvveeeddd ahahhahha yes that is unrelated shut up

People, people, the important point here has been over looked.  Neither is it Vlad's tribute to Travis Bickle, nor is it Teodor's yeast infection.  The important point of this comic is

Notice how Lie Bot is lurking in the background.

I guess he keeps his distance after one of the cats he shot created historical mayhem.

Hmm, very interesting today.  Interesting indeed.  Culpepper gets shot and the party strips last a week (if you consider the ***** party a party).  Three month arc, and the party is implied.  Hazing the Achewood newcomers?  Well, lipstick does corroborate the gender assessment.


I just wish that Uncle George would have shown up, holding onto Beef's waist on the back of the motorcycle.


Shots of the motorcycle driving on the open road.  Cue Smoke on the Water.

I was so happy to see Emeril that before I even read anything I made a little "EEEE" noise like some weird rodent.  I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Also, Lyle. 

This is a good wrap-up strip, a few more panels seemed necessary though.

Yeah seriously, where is george? I thought we were going to get this DONE?

I mean yeah it's a decent ending but I think we missed something here.
Besides Vlad saying 'You talking to me'
which would have been so f*cking awesome.

1 - they didn't know Beef was in the fight at all

2 - I like the idea of Beef taking over the reigns of the fight.  I don't think anyone called that one.

3 - NIGHTLIFE!

4 - They've been up for 3 days, of course they can't throw a good party or a good ~fin~ strip.
