@achewood I once had the idea that, if only for a moment each night, everyone in the world was asleep at the same time. It made the world manageable.

This was okay. Several other good titles here, I think. I'm glad that little arc is over, too.

I am soooooooooo happy right now.  It is like early achewood is back.

Without Todd of course, but still improvement.


These overhead shots of late have been pretty cool as well.

Not too shabby for a one sided talking head strip. A change of pace from the surreal fare of late but still good. 'He said faggot the way old telegrams said STOP' makes me smile.

I get this weird feeling this is inspired by something that has happened to our friendly neighbourhood author, it seems to personal to just come up with spontaneously.

For that matter, what the hell kind of street does Ray live in when he's in that giant house and his neighbour is selling car parts out of his driveway? Are his neighbours just douche bags or did he build the biggest damn house in the ghetto?

Merged! With Doc's now-incoherent double-post preserved for posterity. But yeah, agreed; this is a good one-off, and it describes something amusing. I'm satisfied.

Must you taunt me so V? I keep forgetting you mods can merge posts and such now.
Every typo I managed to cram into those three measly paragraphs is just *staring* at me.

I don't have too much to add here.  It was enjoyable enough.  Sometimes I can't even tell if *I* have a haircut or not.

I think I am officially at the point where I don't really have a haircut.

but I am not a dirtbag.

I would not buy car parts from ray, or call anyone a Faggot. "Fag" is so much shorter. But, despite being one of the better curses in the English language, I have never had the occaision to use it without feeling bad. And I suppose that never will come.

Selling car parts out of your driveway is not classy; Ray knows this, and is fixin' to put a stop to it.

I agree with Tangle; the leaning-with-concerned-eyebrows in panel four is pretty great. 

This is the correct thread title; runner-up: "I couldn't tell if he had a haircut or not."

Is this a problem?  I have been noticing that the teenage boy version of These Kids Today seems to favor a haircut that says 'I can't afford a haircut.'  But perhaps now you are too old for this.

Quite the opposite.  Now that he is a college boy, he is allowed not to have a haircut.  Any style that cannot be achieved with kitchen scissors is Too Complicated.

Remember Envelópe Martinez? I bet that's him, dude. I bet that he's selling car parts out of his driveway.

These are pretty much the exact same poses as the Prank Calling strips.



I swear I've seen that overhead shot before as well.
