Heh. Awesome. Second day in a row to start the new thread on today's strip.

It appears that the glasses frames have split, and the nosepiece has been driven into Ray's frontal lobes.

OK, it's really gross, but the blood shooting out of Ray's ears is at the same time utterly hilarious.

And in just days.... the stoned lightning t-shirt is here.

Where is nightlife?

(In the vein of personal stories- Once in a rugby game a friend's thumb bone literally broke off and poked outside of his skin. "Dude you need to like go to the hospital... now.     "Nah its cool i just need to get the bone back inside where it belongs and tape it over. Im cool. Im cool.")

Guy at my watering hole: "Acap, why do you keep coming to Jack's?They just serve shitty burgers and happen to have beers on tap."
Acap: I was thirsty one day and I sat down. A year later, Jack's was built around me and thirst is a recurring thing.

Ah, college. I still recall the time a friend of mine sliced his palm open with a boxcutter, slapped an old dining-hall paper napkin on there, wrapped his hand in duct tape to secure the napkin, and called it good. (The same guy managed to catch mono, have his spleen rupture, and have his corneas detach in one semester, although I don't think that's related to the boxcutter injury.)

Best part: Mr. Bear calls for "TAAAAAPE!" which is then used to fix Ray's glasses. Achewood logic at its purest.

Just like in Looney Tunes, when the medics rush in and put the crashed car on a stretcher, then run right over the dude on the way back.  This is a subtler take on that theme, but no less classic.

It appears that the glasses frames have split, and the nosepiece has been driven into Ray's frontal lobes.

I'd make a Phineas Gage reference, but somebody already did that during Nice Pete's encounter with the iKill.

Is Ray about to become the brain-addled bus guy?  This raises a few issues.  If he dies of his injury instead, precedent suggests that he'll likely just go to Hell for a while and return after having some wacky adventures.  But what effects would brain damage have?  Death itself is apparently not a traumatic enough experience in Achewood to alter one's personality, but then Pat can fry his ding-dong and turn a complete 180.  Where does sustaining a frontal lobe injury fall on that continuum?

This really is a good follow through. I didn't want another emergency room scene. At least not right away.

If this is so, then he has simply become a Persian.

He gets with the ladies, but in the end they do not like him.

Color me underwhelmed by the new t-shirt. It looked so promising small and in black-and-white, but the 'sploded bird ain't as rounded/smooth as I'd like it to be, and the color is just wrong.
