I dunno it just seems like Ray's spinning Achilles-punch in frame five is pretty much the best thing ever. I mean with the gut and the thong and all it jus... I mean whoa.

I think panel four suggests much more fluid motion. Onstad seems to have a little trouble with odd perspectives (especially since he uses only one line width, even for contours and motion). It's obviously flawed, but I like to see him trying new stuff like this.

I'm pretty sure you were just saying it was cool, though, which it is.

You are probably right but all I can think of when I see his legs like that is 'damn, his legs look exactly like his arms do when he is walking.'

You need more chubbies. I'm proud that I was your first.

Face palm . It is because he is a cat that his "legs" and "arms" look so similar.

I wish I could chubby this more than once

and the hiss dismount takes the cake.

Abso-lutely!

This is pretty much the only instance Ray ever acts like a real cat.

There was also that time he was all "What the hell don't pick me up" way back when

There was the matter of whether or not he's neutered.

His arm seems to be coming out of his belly.

I was looking at that too. Rather unsettling.

This is the first strip in a long time where I remembered that Ray is actually a cat.

but what a cat!

A comment left by delzhand was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by Unfun, kledermans, stoned_lightning)

it gets sort of tucked in I think

He tucks it in and around the front to make his junk look hella big. That's what I would do if I were thong wearing bipedle cat.

I see you've given this some thought.

I enjoy your avatar-comment synergy.

panel 3?

Oh man, when I saw your avatar I thought for a second that poing had made a relevant comment.

Ray's always been capable of moves your average cat can only dream about. Even with the almost-diabetes

Diabetes, you see, was not invited to the Great Outdoor Fight.

Diabetes was actually killed in the 2005 Fight.

At least, according to the GOF wiki-place.

The last panel with the hat. Awesome. Ray and Pat should have some sort of old fashioned hat off!

Big D's been around less and less since Ray kicked it out of his pizza party. Feels stone cold rejected.

It's all about panel 6.

HISSSSS!

note how he grabs hold of Ron's sweatpants in order to swing himself around

Hmmm. I think they're jeans. Check panels 3 and 8.



You're both right!


H E L L U V A move

The crane perfected this strip.

It's like The Scoops in "Soylent Green". Roses are red, violets are blue, fighters that lose are made into glue.

The hiss is amazing. Makes it look to the troops like he just stung him with the Buddhist Palm or something.

I'm gonna hafta watch Kung Fu Hustle again tonight JUST for that.

sheesh!

I thought I was a BAMF because I walked on the grass. Then I read this comic.

I think Moore's law applies to Achwood, except in awesomeness rather than speed. And it started out good.

That is some gut-swingin' bona fide badass right there
At least Ron may not have to deal with bad wife too much anymore

Considering the second to last panel, I wonder if they just throw a few bulldozers in near the main entrance after a few hours. I'd just let the dead or dying rise up into a huge, bloody heap, like a giant broken finger pointing to the heavens as if to say 'you all try to top this.'

HISSSSSS

Oh shit, right, Ray's a cat.

I hate to say it, but when I saw panels 4 and 5, my immediate reaction was "Wow, Ray's activities are so poorly conveyed."

Interestingly enough Shaolin KungFu has a movement very similar to what Ray just did

Much love to Onstad. However, the second row of panels is one of the worst things in Achewood.
