I think he means it's mysterious, unexplained, weird. Dying in the cornfield of a super-heart attack.

"Stone" as in "way," "mega," "cold," "hell(a/ of)," or just "extremely seriously, " but also as in "-Henge."

-henge, and also the people of Easter Island are stone-face statues. Haven't moved in a million years. Grim.

You don't get it either? Wow, I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't always get Achewood.

Maybe he means hell of terrible like Druid

He has it capitalized, so it's prolly a reference to a proper noun.

you frequently use every phrase in every strip.

Time does not apply to assetbar.
That thing is of the past.
Let it rest.

Did you just contradict yourself by replying to a year old comment?

"So between you and me we basically played this dude into his grave like a couple of guys on the same side of an air hockey table" There are no similes like Achewood similes.

When you and a friend have cold played a dude to his grave together you know you're hella tight.

By accident, no less.

i tell people about scared heart syndrome, and finish by saying, 'trust me, i'm a doctor'.

i'm actually just premed but they believe me...

Alt Text: This is how dudes mourn you if there are no women involved.

So true.

I sure as hell would not go to that asshole's funeral.

but then again, it is their fault he died...

I would. It's a golf game! I think more funerals should include golf games

NOOOOOOOOOOO

Great golf-funeral concept, dougthehead.
The deceased in a casket held above the grave by a forklift with a sensor bullseye on the side. Mourners take turns chipping golf balls at the bullseye to lower the casket into the hole.

This could be a Thing.

I would totally attend. Even if I didn't know the deceased or thought he was a dick.

I'm pretty sure "spikes" is in reference to cleats. Not a thousand percent, though.

A comment left by thesyndicate88 was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by mjfitzge, Deusoma, cpnglxynchos, usversusthem)

no, spikes is definitely referring to golf shoes here.

And collars as in shirt collars.

Huh. I imagined it as animal collars. Silly me.

"Wear a Collar: Spikes Okay." Could be the invitation to a goth party.

Golf= so not goth.

I don't know. In a lot of situations, the fact that the cast of Achewood are stuffed animals and cats has basically become an afterthought, maintained only for continuity. The concept of the Achewood underground has all but disappeared, for instance, and there's many times where the characters interact (although usually indirectly) with "our" world.

I think as far as the strip is concerned these days, Ray, Beef and the others are just people who look like cats.

sorry to put this debate to rest, but i feel like as a golfer it is kind of my duty to explain. many golf clubs do not allow spikes (cleats) on their courses becasue it damages the grass, but some do. it is a pretty common golf phrase to ask "are spikes ok?" and the answer would often be "spikes ok" as part of the golf uniform (which usually includes a collar as well since many clubs require a collar). recently the spikes question doesnt come up as much with the advent and growth in popularity of removable "turf" spikes.

sorry.

Personally, I'm starting to think it's both. Onstad is the kind of classy bastard who would make such a line a double entendre.

I was tempted to lame you for a second, but my better nature took over.

Do not ever apologize for having terminally pertinent knowledge, I would count it as a favor.

Yes. You do not wear a Tee on that golf course. You hit your ball off a Tee.

could it be a joke based on two possible meanings?

to elaborate: It is definitely an excellent joke based on the fact that spikes could refer to their collars or their golf shoes. I will hear no more about it!

Holy crap, Druids did Easter Island!

apparently, Ray's gym is so badass you gotta kill a guy just to get "made" there...

You kill a member, you become a member. Is like Presidency!

Ya, just like when Booth was president.

Booth's foreign policy decisions are often underrated in our present society, I find. His economic policy wasn't quite so good, but overall Booth was one of our finer presidents.

Is this the only instance where Ray isn't wearing his "Talking on the Phone" jacket?

He's always talking on the phone when he wears it, but he doesn't always wear it when he's talking on the phone. One example is here .

WHO ELSE LOVES VENN DIAGRAMS

"There will probably be Instances -Roast Beef Kazenzakis, cat

Ray has serious news and he looks Roast Beef in the eye when he gives it to him. Over the phone. Well, he looks the phone in the eye while he talks to Roast Beef.

scared heart syndrome
this strip is so A .
an overlooked gem!

'It's a stone blow, man. This shit is Druid. This shit is Easter Islands. This shit is Druid people at Easter Island man.'

This actually made me laugh.

I am in love with the term "the main sentence of this"

i know!

God dammit.

Scared Heart Syndrome?!! I love it.

This strip really should be rated way higher, if just for Ray in panel 5

The dramatic irony contained in panel eight is just delicious.

I keep transposing letters in peoples' comments, and read "Sacred Heart Syndrome."

A crown of thorns, and hell of heartburn.

[IMGS OFF]

There must be something wrong with that heart, there is a brown lowercase T coming out of a ventricle or something.

why is Ray wearing a t-shirt in the comfort of his own home? this does not seem like a thing he would do


Ray using his phone in the most annoying and inconsiderate way possible: the walkie-talkie feature. If there were a vuvuzela function he would probably use it occasionally.
