That was just a vasectomy.

The title of Ray's response claims it was only a vasectomy, but Ray's "owners" think otherwise: http://www.achewood.com/index.php?date=01212002

I had the exact reaction as Ray when I read the "Rubber from WWII" line.  What?  That makes this the funniest strip of the year.

JL was probably one of those modern virgins, if you know what I mean.

Yeah, JL, when you wore white on your wedding day, did you do so with a touch of irony?

Of course.  I always eat my leafy greens, I had plenty of iron.  Why, what were you implying?

I can't find the Achewood with Ray talking about his previous owner, about how he was a show cat and stuff.

I've always wondered what happened with Ray's show-cat status. How did he go from being a Grand Champion American Curl, and thus presumably pretty good stud material, to a neutered suburban housecat worth $50 and not much more? What did Ray to do to fall from grace?

My guess is: too many totalled hotel rooms.

What is the significance of cats being neutered against there will in Achewood?  This implies owners -- i.e. a human presence in the Acheworld.

Is this consistent?  Should it be?  Am I being haunted by the hobgoblin of small minds?

Yikes.

Well, This strip mentioned upthread posits that Ray has definite human owners. Overall, though, Achewood has moved from an "anthropomorphic critters functioning at the fringes of human society" model to a "anthro animals with their own fully-functional pseudo-society" model. Probably best not to think too much about it... at least, not right now.

Yes, and he's usually wearing snazzy wingtips.

I think it was just a shift in tone. At first it was like sneaky around having fun while the humans were at work, not it's more along the lines that the humans are so oblivious we don't even notice because we don't think there's anything to notice.

I'm going to say that the Underground is actually just surrounded by a massive Not My Problem field
