Tsk, I say. Given the giddily horrifying setup of this arc, this seems a weak and obvious punchline. And just so not realistic. No ice cream, secret or otherwise, for the regularly updated free comic strip on this fine day.

Oh, man, Philippe's vision of God is great. He gives out toothbrushes!

I think we all have to admit that he's totally adorable here. I mean, seriously.

I fuck*ng don't have to admit that.

I can't help but to be really really amused at how this storyline started off in ultra-weird mode, and now not only are we getting a Friday strip chock-full of simple silliness but it's also almost a complete non-cliffhanger. Something tells me Onstad got kinda sick of this storyline, or at least its more dramatic parts (what happened to Cory and Zell?), and decided to remind us that indeed, Ray is Loaded.

Well, think about it. Airwolf is a fictional heelacopter, so how could the super-rich talking cat in the shades possibly buy the 'real' Airwolf from eBay?

Be realistic.

yeah, you're right. prop-a-copters would totally have missile guidance systems and mach 1 speed and grappling hooks and stuff.

You guys don't think this storyline ends here, right? We're still gonna see some crazy action as Téodor tries to haul the couch with Airwolf. Or you think Philippe will let him just fly them back home without BROWN COUCH! BROWN COUCH!

Hey there, little dude. Mean Gene said you had something to tell me. What's this all about, brotha? (god rips off his shirt, flexes his leathery orange skin, and plays air-guitar with a weigh-belt while hiding his bald-spot with a bandana)

Gentlemen, please!

The heelacopter doesn't go all that fast, but Ray figures it does.  He can't judge how fast it actually goes.

The copter has a grappling hook because they needed it for the show.

The copter can recognize an otter because the show's producers wanted the cool heads-up display, and otter recognition was in the same options package, and it was more expensive to take it out so they left it in.

The capital "C" in Consult, that's the icing on the cake for me today.

Also, D engine- brings back memories of experimenting with rockets not sold at any store, but in the mind of a kid who lived in a house full of rocket-shaped things. You could tape those suckers onto ANYTHING.

This strip wins.

I too had an estes Comanche, and it took a D engine.

There's a funny story about when I went to a model rocketry CLASS in a summer Program some years back, and we basically were good enough at ROCKETING that we were allowed to just design whatever shit we wanted out of a bunch of spare estes parts. It was badass, but there was a pompous ass script-kiddie nerdball who acted all uppity because I wasn't writing Instant Messenger Hack Toolz with my spare time. My rockets flew beautifully and exhibited new concepts of model rocket flying ability. His malfunctioned due to overengineering and just-plain-suckage-execution, and there was much wailing from the surrounding crowds and buildings as his rockets flew exactly sideways and crashed into those respective parties.

Childhood rant over.

Anyway, I still love the word "cods", and I love the way Onstad drew Philippe's vision of God. There is much to like.

I too want this comic about a cat and a stuffed bear using a helicopter purchased off eBay and used to find a stuffed otter sleeping in a cooler floating in the ocean to make more sense in the argument of "Helicopter/Prop?"
