I want to be buried in my pyjamas. I want to be comfy.

I want to be buried in the skins of my enemies.

this is a great guest strip what are you talking about

Sounds like a personal problem to me.

What about the one with Vlad and E-bay!

"Buyer tries to stab me. Signs me up for so much spam"

Lames: 1293

Slowwave is so great.

All right, let's do this.

I had never seen Slow Wave before this. Absolutely outstanding idea for a comic, and an amazing strip.

I had no idea Slow Wave was a webcomic! It's a regular in Connecticuts "New Haven Advocate", a free community paper.

A guy I know from high school is the synth player in a trancefusion band called Slowwwave.

I wonder what Reklaw's real last name is.

(Walker?)

Why were they burying Ray in a flanno?

May be an expensive plaid shirt.

It was his dad's. Ramses.

Definitely one of the better guest strips. I love how Ray's relatively normal narrative parallels with his wicked sack lingo. That and Phillipe's "shriek" make this is gold.

he doesnt even sign his name.

The only guest strip I've ever fived. For Jesse Reklaw's perfectly realized vision of Ray -- attired in wide-brimmed, feathered pimp hat and ermine-trimmed cape, saying "all right, let's do this," AT HIS OWN FUNERAL -- I can do no less.

It's a Medieval Goodwill funeral getup.

The first panel is just beautiful. Beyond that...it's alright.

Seeing it again much later, I realize that it's all good except for the punchline. Whoever this guy is doesn't really understand Ray. It's like he read five or six strips and was, like, "Oh, I get it."

He didn't get it.

Liebot. You put on a tie! They ALL put on ties!

shriek!

Lyle even took off his beater and donned a button-down. He is givin' Ray some wicked respect.

Ray! Don't wear a cape!

obviously a pimp coat, fool.

A guest artist who understands Achewood.

Ray looks like Bootsy Collins.

This one is fun, but the narration doesn't feel like Ray's voice at all.
