Keith Moon's eyes have closed during shipping.

Ray is bringing no deus ex machina. Chris Onstad simply cannot control Ray's actions. This was meant to happen.

This is an unremarkable, yet quite funny and nicely put together strip.  I mean, it's basically just Continuing Action taking us to an eventual anti-climax, but damn it, it's good rising action and that should count for something.  It's not quite Hamlet waiting behind the curtain so he can overhear a salient plot point, but then again, Hamlet didn't have Airwolf, did he?

Also, I would like to mention to those that never saw Airwolf that it was a cheesy action tv show from the 1980s, akin to Knight Rider, and pretty much a ripoff of the Roy Scheider film "Blue Thunder" (Airwolf is basically the television version of Blue Thunder).

It should be noted that there was also a Blue Thunder TV series, yet another short-lived Movie-to-TV adapation.

I used to watch Airwolf all the time, back in the day. Watching Jan Michael Vincent and Borgnine flit about in their mach speed capable heli-craft, every week trying to stop plots by madmen that could jump start WWIII or help people being pursued by foreign agents or going up against other would-be suped-up aircraft, plus that theme music, what more could you want. Asides from quality that is? Ha.

I hate all 3. Well I hate baseball as a concept but I'm also firmly against team names that don't lend themselves to funny mascot suits. Explain to me how somebody dressed up as a "national" is better than say a "radioactive meatball" costume.

The Nationals' mascot is a fuzzy-headed eagle.
If it's funny mascots you want, how can you hate the Phillies or Mets?  The Phanatic and Mr. Met are among the all-time greats.

What is a Philly and/or a Met? Without ever having scene either I'm going to guess that they're just guys with baseballs for heads. LAME! Or possibly the Met is a tiny art museum that wanders around the sidelines in which case I'll allow it.

We already have the Pittsburgh Pirates, all we need now are the Ninjas. Though I'm not sure what city they would play for. Maybe they would just play for America, because wherever they go, they are the home team.


We need a team called the #####s, too.

If we're going to have a team called the *****s, you just know we're going to need a team called The Monkeys.

If only they weren't already a fake band.

As highly as I thought of Onstad, my opinion of him has just increased immeasurably because of his depiction of Keith Moon's head in a jar.  That is unquestionably what Keith Moon's head in jar would look like.  Kudos, Onstad, kudos.

Also, I am a Cardinals fan.  The Mets are pond scum.

And half of Teodor's face looking back at it.  And the idea of the video about the transfer station.  I am so in love today. *giggle*

Also: I was briefly a Mets fan as a youngster but I officially don't give a f*ck anymore, so carry on.

"I have Airwolf" almost sounds like an admission of STD. The question, though, is what kind.
