Ray's Mom Calls Monday, January 16, 2006 • read strip Viewing 30 comments:

Better yet is when Ray's mom wants to support his upcoming DVD project.

Alt Text: Not the kind of company where Todd is allowed to use the phone.

My favorite alt text ever.

Also: "Quentin"

that's not the alt-text anymore. It is now
(a company where Todd is allowed to use the phone)

ray's expression in the final panel really makes this one for me.

agree. "crap, how do i get out of this one?"

Can't talk now, Mom. I'm three-ballin.

I kept this strip open in a separate tab so as not to forget to give you a chubby once my chubby allotment would get renewed.

Does it work like that?

Not that I've ever noticed.

5 for the flashback

A conversation between Ray's mom and Todd would certainly be interesting.

That'd be right up there with the conversation between Vlad and Philippe's mom .

"Gosh, Mom, I... well, me n' Todd have invented a way to check cell phones for hernias. Could I get you to cough into the phone, Mom?"

I like that Ray's shirt is tucked away in his thong.

Man what is up with the contrast on panel 6. Not this nonsense again.

it's a flashback

Oh yeah, makes sense this time. I was still reeling from the other strip that was completely boned and not a flashback.

guess who's got a diiii-lllleema!

Hint: Me. It's me.

Ray is completely unprepared for this turn of events.

Most companies would not allow Todd to use the phone.

Most companies would not allow Todd.

It seems strange Ray's mom is so intrigued. He has a new company every, what, 2 months?

Can't talk now Ma, I'm three ballin'

Already done.

This is going to sound awful, but I would pay good, good money to see your avicon singing, with complete lack of emotion and thousand-yard stare, Norman Greenbaum's Spirit in the Sky. It would terrify me and I would never have to worry about sleeping ever again.

Todd has to use both arms to hold the phone

I'd be so fucking pissed if someone threw my phone at me
