Shut the hell up *dick* Thursday, December 18, 2003 • read strip Viewing 51 comments:

If you have a best friend, and you have been too drunk around him, you love this strip.

I have actually been in this exact same situation. As fate would have it, I puked facing my friend's house, hanging out the passenger side window. The S-curve street was just too much.

There is a certain power to "dick" in italics

As bad as his hangover is, an italicized "dick" is a hella harsh thing to say to someone that committed suicide just to go to hell and help you out.

You got that right, dick.

This strip always reminds me of this one:

Don't thank her, thank anarchy!

aww yeah who brings the pain

That is some crazy stream of vomit there.

agreed - it's more like a vomitfall.

The vomit seems to be melting the bitumen

Chubbied for "bitumen."

we would also have chubbied macadam .

if you run a red light in hell do you go to ultra hell

You go to Incredible Hell!

The punishment for running a red light in Hell is... Incredible Hell.

which is ruled by the Super Devil.

Who is just so much more than a match for God.

One in the same.

Superhell actually. It totally sucks there

one of the most accurate portrayals of the driven-home-unimaginably-hungover state yet.

That last panel is perfect because it is universal. I've had that exact same exchange, albeit in a bathroom instead of a car.

Why would you have a red light in a bathroom.

So you know when it's safe to go, of course.

Who hasn't been on both sides of this coin? I don't want to know them!

When you are really drunk and grabbing porcelain for some reason it immediately activates the ANGRY LOBE in your brain.

*flashback to me watching my friend vomit into a trashcan in his lap, one free hand feebly holding up the finger, and him periodically shouting FUCK YOU, WHORES!*

A particularly surly friend is hugging the porcelain at a local dive bar...
Random ambitious bathroom seeker: "OH, honey is she okay?"
"Yeah, it's her birthday. She just turned 21."
"Ohmigawd! Happy birthday, hon!"
Friend barely looks up and croaks "Fuck.. yoou.."

That nosy bitch earned a legitimate "fuck you", in my opinion.

Interesting. Back when I used to drink heavily, I loved throwing up, because it meant that a) the pain would go away and b) I could drink some more!

I was once looking after a dude when he was in a most vomitous state, and I discovered he had a sinister side, both in the most classical sense and in the sense of evil. When I stood on his left side, holding him up, he would punch me, alternatively yell and whisper swears into my ear, and try an escape me so he could go vomit in the neighbor's yard again. He would act like a little vomiting angel whilst I stood on his right, however. Also, I decided that to make him get all the vomit out we had to "James Bond this shit", and I made him drink a glass of one part salt, two parts water. He heck of vomited.

OK, just so the story makes sense: were you so drunk that you thought that was a good idea, would you normally think that's a good idea, or were you trying to kill him?

I was a) fantastically hammered and b) I made sure he didn't drink it all.

you are one sick motherfucker!

My friends never had the decency to wait for a red light before puking out the window. Ray's such a nice dude for not leaving racing stripes down the side of Beef's Brat.

Ray can't even muster the strength for a capital S.

The full spectrum of types of puking: up in the hotel Ray was just like urp . Now that he's in a car he goes to the more robust HURRRGH.

Hey RAY! You threw up! How come?

YES.

Please accept this chubby which I am offering to you.

completely also deserving of a shut up.

this one's my favorite, just ordered the framed print.

There is a reference to this in Volume 3 of Scott Pilgrim , I believe. It takes place in a bathroom, but Scott calls Stephen Stills a dick while he is throwing up, or something. I forget the exact line.

I wouldn't be so certain that it is referencing this strip except that in volume 1 there is an Achewood comic on a computer monitor in one panel.

I'm gonna have to go back and read the series now, didn't even know that.

I reread the series quite often. Volume 5 was depressing but good, and now I can't wait for the final volume even though it'll probably be like two years or something.

This sums up every cab ride I have had home on a friday or satrday night ever
