March 27, 2007 - "I Need To See This As A Challenge"

At least Pat was only half-lying. He is, after all, in a nearby town.

At first I thought Pat actually had a physical person named Steve in the room with him, then I got the joke.

I'm the new guy. Been reading Achewood for two years now. I didn't try to post first, it just sort of fell into my lap. God bless the baby angel in charge of days like today.

Ok, Onstad, seriously bro, are you out there? This has gone on too long. Ray can not be gay. He is a homeboy.

Alternate title: When Pat Lays Down The Law

Hey, you won by a second.


Yeah, please don't let Ray be gay, not that there is anything wrong with that.

Just noticed: Onstad loves his logos (Super 8 Motel).

Also, this is kind of a character study; look at Pat and Ray in their infinite dichotomy: Pat at a cheap motel, having lied to his business partner's face, renting the rooms on both sides to avoid being overheard. And Ray, proudly ready to get off to "Braveheart" in the comfort and familiarity of his own home, and when he finds that it's actually gay porn, he just rolls with it. The two cats are polar opposites.

I was really hoping the title would be "Alright Steve, let's party."

I've long thought that Ray's exhibited a few, ahh, shall we say, "latent tendencies" on occasion. There was one strip in particular that had my Raygaydar going off on three or four separate points in just a few panels. I just need to remember which one...

Ray doesn't have anything against gays, in fact, he's pretty open minded, once you get to know him.

That said, I think three hundred dollars is worth more to me than strangers knowing I masturbate, even if I were masturbating to a DVD for which I bought a bottle of rum.

In a nearby town.

This one, perchance?
I am not paying for the serializer strips just so I can link to the one with Ray in roller skates.


 EDIT: ...or this, even?  This goes back some way... knuckleheads since small times, indeed.

No, it wasn't those ... I think it might have been the recent gay romance novel strip. Lemme go look at it again...

EDIT: Hmm, that one's not hitting me the same way now. I'll have to dig around some more...

Braveheart is basically Ray's go-to film. Given how new he is at the entire breast man thing, he might have recognized the rudeness of Mel Gibson's man-titties - which spend most of the movie on display - and made a logical leap too far.

As for him being determined to get off to Steve's Party to the point of regarding it as a challenge? It has nothing to do with gay or straight. Ray Smuckles: He gets things done. Getting things done is not always a blessing.
