this strip does a nice job displaying a wide range of Ray's emotions

This strip does a nice job of displaying how big ray's head is

A comment left by fielding was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by Krea, GSurge, fosters, thesyndicate88, erincandy, NDCaesar, ralgnar)

when I read that second comment I almost sprayed tea everywhere. Not that its super funny but it just sorta surprised me.

same

It did the same to me except replace "tea" with "snot."

The last time I made that replacement I got fired from Applebee's pretty hard

So you're the one...

his big head is where he keeps his wide range of emotions.

Téodor's assessment of the Chinese economy is brilliant.

That, plus the phrase "mainly eat normal stuff like burgers or cake" gets this one a five

apparently cakes and burgers are the staple of cuisine normality in achewood

The link doesn't work! The date is invalid! I want, no, need, closure!

Chubbied out of pity and to encourage the poster to get help

in my defense, i don't remember doing this. i was almost certainly super high

This was a triumph.


(No. Really.)

And apparently Phillipe is black.

So true.

Rays just telling it how it is

This strip gets a four from me just for the alt text !

I think it's cool how Ray can just totally turn around and admit the error of his ways.

do snakes even have cheeks?

Exactly what I was wondering. We should look into it. TO THE INTERNET! *SWOOSH*

*SWOOSH*

I'm back. Yes, venomous snakes do have cheeks, in which their venom sacs are stored.

I am indescribably proud of you for checking. I bet 99% of people would have just swooshed off and expected chubbies. Nice work.

I think I see a problem with the Chinese village's business model.

1. Obtain tireless bicycle
2. Ride past broken crate
3. ???
4. Profit!

Teodor seems to be of the impression that the entire Chinese economy is based inside the Chun-Li stage from Street Fighter II .

I liked Chun-Li way too much to be a pre-adolescent girl

I liked her just the right amount to be a progressively-pubescent boy.

Chun-Li is the reason why all male geeks are afraid of girls.
She had priority .

I mean she could kick Blanka even when he was doing his electric thing. She could kick Ken out of a Shoryuken... or Bison out of a Psycho-Crusher.

Chun-Li could stand on the train-tracks, face off the oncoming bullet-train and Hyakuretsukyaku the whole thing into scrap metal.

HK HK HK to victory.

man.

Chun-Li goes hard. I was always best (read: SUPER cheap) with Dhaslim though.

You better watch out if she jumps in over your Yoga Fire though. Chun-Li at point-blank range is too much kick for your Yoga Flame to handle.

Ain't no Chun Li ever break through my corona of electrical death as blanca.

(Also, if anyone in Charleston, SC wants to play straight-up classic arcade Street Fighter 2 there's a machine in the Ye Olde Fashioned on the way to Folly Beach. We can do this.)

See a few posts up.

[Translation : Yes... if done properly, Chun Li CAN kick through Blanca's electric field... as irrational as that might seem. And even if she doesn't, she can Kikouken through it, for she is a girl of many talents.]

I love you for posting this on Achewood. If you ever come out the Bay Area, I'll battle you -- Champion Edition or III or Alpha 3... bring it on!

Anyone else notice Ray went right back to being overweight after his walk back from Mexico?

He probably didn't say anything because he knew it would upset Teodor .

He got his pig-bun then and lasagne turkey then.

Ray Smuckles gets things done.

Most Chinese guys of average strength?

If the Great Outdoor Fight had been set in China, Ray would have been out in the first five minutes with Ching Chong Wing Wong carved all over his chest, neat as you please.

Man soticoto, Jackie Chan is pretty big for a Chinese guy and I ain't never seen him rip no one's face off. Now we can maybe chalk that up to a good even temperament on Jackie's part, but even so I think it argues for Ray's supremacy in the world of fuck-you-up-antics.

This reminds me of another time Ray's opinion was humbled


Discussion, ponderance, agreement, [clik].

I always suspected that Ray was black. I think this is strong evidence here where he refers to his black brothers. It helps me adjust my mental image.

If not, then Chris Onstad is being irresponsible with his only black character: Nightlife. Nightlife is basically defined by two things:

1)he smokes pot
2)he injures people

Do you think that it is rad to have racism, Chris?

Holy shit I'm talking about subtextual racism on a webcomic about cats who the fuck do I think I am?!

You, sir, deserve multiple chubbiage.

I've always thought that too.

I sort of agreed with this (based on a lot of comments in Assetbar on the subject) until I reached this strip: https://achewood.com/index.php?date=08302005 where Beef calls Ray a 'cracker'. Not conclusive, but just a piece of evidence to chalk up for the other side of the argument.

OK, so the fact that Ray's grandfather was 'a bluesman before blues...' kind of messes this up. Hm.

Ray almost always sounding like mr. T in my head makes me agree with you.

Ray learns a lesson.

ray is culturally ignorant, not culturally insensitive.

This is a facile, crass-neoclassicist, Bukharinite-revisionist, economistic analysis of the The glorious People's republic's economy.
