Yep.

your comment kills the strip so shut up, assface.

THE HOG SHALL LIE WITH THE PRAWN
Ah, memories! This site is so great.

It just occured to me how very unkosher that is.

Are you sure it isn't like multiplying negatives? Maybe a crossbreed of a hog and a sea creature would cancel out the un-kosher qualities of each?

The Levites would not be at all down with that.

awesome :)

wait a minute

Ray spontaneously had a 'dance like you've got ass in your pants!' moment.

The dude yelled so loud that he blew out his lights. Awesome.

no, the evil he unleashed sucked every iota of light from the room.
classic.

no, the evil he unleashed went to target, bought a clapper, installed it, then clapped the lights off then on again.

Come now, everyone knows that evil shops at Walmart.

if i was concerned with being socially responsible, id be offended at that.

AAAIIIIIGHT!?

his horns and fangs are precious

Sort of a preview of Nice Pete and Lyle's band.

he DOESNT have a clapper! what the hell people!

YES

For some reason I'd always assumed that T had straight up lied about the clapper thing, but I guess it makes more sense that Rays voice killed the lights with his furor.

This is one of my favourite strips.

I assumed that Téodor was just making up the clapper thing so that he could properly convey Ray's surprising loudness with a witticism.

alt text is priceless: "Ray thinks that forgetting to jam for forty-five seconds merits a 'whoops'"

So that's what Tekende was referencing!

i_love_kate thinks that discovering what tekende was referencing merits a "So that's what Tekende was referencing!"

The same 'whoops' that he offered when he accidentally turned Roast Beef into an icon for racism.

My favorite part is that in those forty-five seconds Ray had one single thought.

Was this the inspiration for Mister Band?

whoops!

oh wow! my feelings on this strip cannot be more pro.

Does a really loud scream set off a clapper? This comic made me think about the mechanics of a clapper for the first time. Very nice.

Today's Blogs

Ray: My date with Scarlet.

haha. "this week." as if a 5 second pause in bajo-playing will effect Teodor's week plans.

45 seconds. That's 0.000074 of a week Teodor will never get back.

Merits a "whoops" in my book.

"AAAIIIIIGHT?!" is such an evil thing to say.

I started to write a comment about how this was the only Achewood strip to make me hysterical with laughter, but I deleted it because I afraid the internet would judge me.

Wow Ray totally fugued right there in panel 7.

Fugue on a banjo? Nonsense!

oh, you've never tried it?

Reminds me of every death metal song out there.

AAAIIIIIGHT!?

ray 'corpsegrinder' smuckels has a nice ring to it.....

I love how unnaffected Teodor is by everything. Just a little eyebrow lift in reaction to Ray screaming so loud lights blinked.

T was impatient. Ray said wait a minute. (he did not actually say this.)

achewood at work is a dangerous activity to be doing, especially if work is a quiet environment.
