Drunk As a Lord in Hell Monday, December 8, 2003 • read strip Viewing 59 comments:

holy crazy, was this always colored? It's been hella days since I read through the archives I guess

Some may object to your use of the word 'colored'.

I actually laughed at loud at that.

Am I going to hell, too?

Rykan

I was a socially unacceptable joke on the Internet

You laughed at me, Rykan...

i laughed at it, in my innocence...

This comic has a special place in my heart due to the Family Circus like terror, and the equally horrific wallpaper. I would hate this hotel with my whole body if forced to stay inside it.

I am curious how you would hate it with your penis

He has a furious ding dong.

R.O.B.O.T. D.I.N.G.-.D.O.N.G.?

i'd like to see just the wallpaper in color and the rest in black and white. robert johnson loses some of his mystique wearing that shit-colored suit.

Drunken cat rolling, puking on the carpet of the landing...in Hell's Hotel.

I think this is the way most Best Westerns look.

Who's drunk as a lord at 10 am in hell? NOT-ME!

top 5 strips ever

Those older coloured strips: just kind of weird
This one: perfect

hush
sum'bitch

How many of us can say that at one time in our lives it was ten AM and we were drunks as lords?

I can. :)

It's been a while since I've been, but yeah, there was a time. There was a time.

This guy

Right here

Hooray for some guy.

Also, it was necessary to show the floor below. I like that.

I like to think the hotel is just missing a wall, like some kind of creepy doll house.

That's probably not what is being conveyed here but that's okay.

Oh hell yeah, I can definitely say I was drunk as a lord at 10 am.

St. Patrick's day.

I was largely drunk because I had been drinking heavily the night before, so even though I was about 4 drinks deep I was probably actually 12 or so drinks deep.

I taught my liver who was boss that day.

That boss was me.

More importantly how many of us can say that at one time in our lives it was ten AM and we were drunk as lords, telling Robert Johnson to hush sum'bitch in Hell

the answer is zero

But wouldn't the world be a happier place if the answer was "one or more"? I think so.

It can't ever be "one or more". It will always be an imaginary number or zero, even if it really happened.
So what's the use of testifying?

Absolutely. I was 18, it was 8 AM, and it was my first time using Cal Poly San Luis Obispo's register-by-phone for classes. By 9 AM I devised a little game: one busy signal, one sip of beer. By 10 AM I was majestically dialing the phone, letting each tone ring out for a full second before proceeding to the next.

I'm not sure when I actually got through; I think it was somewhere around 10:30 or 11. I registered for my classes (thoughtfully written down before the first sip) and proudly went back to bed.

Let this be a lesson to those who do not believe that Colonel Sanders is a total badass.

My post above i realize did not post where i wanted. but yes i've done this. more than once. more than twice. i.. i had a problem.

me too

I woke up around 8, after crashing in my friend's room. I open the door and there is my friend with a glass in his hand containing breakfast. Breakfast was whiskey. Dinner had been whiskey. Good times.

yo

I'm basically an alcoholic and I can't even say that.

Really? I don't believe that. You must have!

I've been drunk before 10 AM a number of times throughout my drinking career. Some of the best times have been getting drunk ridiculously early and staying drunk all day. Once I was at my girlfriend's homecoming and we started the day with an 8 AM kegger and pancakes. Also camping; lots of crack-of-dawn drinking while camping.

Oh, I've been a little tipsy before 10. But drunk as a lord? Definitely a late afternoon thing.

In Hell, everything is in color but you

hush
sum bitch

roll

My favorite part of this is the alt text.

That is the correct part of this to have as a favorite.

You get the sense that the levels of these hallways go up and down to infinity...

Every time I see this strip I'm worried he's going to fall off that precarious walkway into the second floor. The knowledge that it is merely a cutaway view does not comfort me.

Damn it, now I can't Not see it like that.

sippin on some crispy Stella's is how I enjoy my initial inebriation

Drunk as a Lord is how I describe my being fucking shitfaced

Is anyone else reminded of adventure games set in hotels?

This reminded me of the Roger Rabbit game for original NES where you're all in building side scrolling, hating life b/c you will soon die. that game WAS hell. it was. im sure of it.

The combination of largely deserted hotel and protagonist with cool hat makes me nervous that any minute everything's going to be covered in dismembered corpses and pentagrams, and a tall, cowled figure will be in the middle of it all, pointing. And walking slowly nearer.

Michael Jackson's Moonwalker for Sega Genesis

Oh my, a little window just popped up by my mouse pointer when I left it over the strip, and it said the words 'He's cool'. Now I understand what everyone is taking about when they talk about alt text. I am both overjoyed at this discovery, and a little over-awed, as I will now have to read the previous God knows how many strips again...

And yes, I deserve your lames.

For I have been lame.

It's the opposite for me. I was raised on webcomics that had alt-text so I always expect them. When I read comics that do not have alt-text, I'll mouse over them out of habit.

The little roll makes the strip.

I wish there was a video game where you could control Ray and Robert Johnson.

I'm sorry that I read this comment as "I wish there was a video game where you could control Ray's robert johnson".

Don't be sorry. Doesn't everybody want a video game centered around the genitals of a cartoon cat?

Isn't that why people invented Newgrounds?

I eagerly await the Salad Genitals video game.

He's not cool after all.

GOD DAMN I was just about to make that comment and that would have been embarrasing as seeing that guy with the same avatar as me.
