The altitude to which Ray's jaw drops in Panel 6 coupled with his blank stare is priceless.

How can you tell when Ray is wearing a blank stare as opposed to, say, an interested gaze?

big ups for both the way Ray twirls his foot while thinking of a lie and also for his covering his obvious swear as him eating a hot pepper while on the phone with his mother as a dare from the 1920's.
I also love how ready his mother is to believe that he was eating a hot pepper and not saying "bastard" which he obviously was.

Voting for Coolidge? That might be the way they conduct elections in Chicago, young man, but here in Boston we have a little principle called democracy .

Notice that in panel 4 the text box goes BEHIND Ray instead of over him like in the last panel and most other strips. Zooming on Ray's face and fading out his mother's voice as dread sets in.

Todd is hell of dumb squirrel. You don't hit up a dude for 6 million, then invite over his obviously proper mother to tour a company set on marketing fake nutsacks for cell phones. This is an unwise career enrichment strategy.

I would like to get my hands on said dare book.

Gonna have to reference PG Wodehouse in lieu of Achewood yet again.
When? Hop to it!
Well... I kinda thought that last comment... was it? Am I lazy?
That is not the adjective I would use to describe you, no
Spot on, Jeeves.

It would be worth writing, though finding anyone alive who was college age in the 20's would be awfully hard, then once you got down to the ones who were tricksters in college and who still remembered any of it you would probably be down to none. I suppose the only way would be to read countless college related articles and stories from the 20's and compile a list of college dares from there. Perhaps I am over thinking this and should just do what most historians do and make it all up, then if anyone cares enough to complain, use the data in their complaint to add to the book, thank them and act like it was a mistake.
