Man, Teodor in Panel 4 cuts Ray down at levels where a man should not be cut. Filmed properly, Ray would take two steps, then fountains of arterial spray as an orchestra plays a minor progression.

I dunno, I think it's about time Teodor or Beef took Ray down a peg while he was pulling that Layoff routine he keeps doing to them.

aaron_haynes is right--we are talking about a dude who fired a guy without even making him a proper mix tape . That is low.

and immediately after he marches over to the country club and cuts Ray down a few times, he proceeds to play a game of golf. Classic.

By the way, is he using Ray's clubs, or did he bring them with him so he could insult Ray and then play the back nine?

This comment is one of the best things I've ever read.

the loafer is offended to hear Sharper Image when he is being talked about...Sharper Image is for geeks of the pocket-protecting kind.

Note: Teodor busts out an interrobang

Nah, an interrobang is a question mark and exclamation mark combined into one punctuation mark. Téodor just uses one after the other.

H...how?

Like so:

Awesome.

I thought an Interrobang was a sexy new way of questioning a suspect :(

You are interrogating a suspect through rape. She does a :(
Response: Yeah, you can pretty much just ignore this one, you're already a rapist.

Curse you, double post. Curse your black heart.

Curse you, epilepsy. Curse your rapidly flashing heart.

hilarious alt text: "These are some important fucking shoes!"

I wonder why the ultra conservative shoe is the left shoe?

Cos the shoe is on the other foot now.

Wait just a-- a shank goes off to the right!

Yes, that was definitely a hook, no doubt about it

Out of curiosity, o these terms reverse when golfing left-handed?

Yes, I believe they are

It's more of an inside outside thing

Besides which, an actual shank is when you hit the ball with the end of the shaft of the club, rather than the actual face of the club. It can go in either direction.

It's when you hit the ball with the hosel.

If you hit right-handed and shank left, you are a witch.

Teodor is not very good at golf, but he is good at listening.

Epic speech talking shoe = good

Not my favorite strip, but "does sharper image still comp your rides to the mall?" is a GREAT line.

I wish there was a strip intervening this one to the previous one in which Ray and Teodor both look up, and realize they are both at the same golf course on the phone, pretending to be somewhere else not golfing.

Is anybody else thrilled by how Ray goes into that epic declaration pose when Lazarus announces himself?

[[raises hand]]

I love that while reading achewood we are not struck by the sheer ridiculousness of two enemy-twin-brother-talking-tassled-loafers

As a wise man once said, "It is always better to be too ridiculous than not ridiculous enough."

Who said this

I believe it was Voltaire.

It was in fact Tom Green, former shock comic.

Am I the only one who sees a face in the bushes on the left on the last three panels ? creepy face.

I was going to say something. It looks like some kind of eerie sheep-duck with a Norwegian troll face. The body is the sheep-duck.

How did the shoes escape from Lucien in the Dreaming? More important, did Morpheus ever find out that when Lucien took the census, he "forgot" to list his own sons?

Most of that was about the wrong comic.

Whoopsie!

Ah yes, the beginning of one of the best arcs in the series.

that facey looking bush is creeping me out.

...and, that's what I get for trying to figure out how to make it display images in the comments so I don't keep seeing that (IMGS OFF) thing. Way to make a first post, Sharktastic.
