I think that gun-skill just came to Beef on the spot. The Beef who not comprehend going against the GOF has swiftly faded away in awe of Ray's defiance, and the raw hardcore Beef that carried Ray to day 3 makes its return.

Not noticing it is a testament to how well he does it, I think. It's seamless. I often don't notice them... I just hear the onomatopoeia in my mind, and it isn't obtrusive.

It was actually diesel fuel, which doesn't vaporize as readily as gasoline. The handgun was most likely loaded with tracer ammunition, which does burn hot enough to ignite diesel fuel. I claim that it is loaded with tracer ammunition because it's really fun to shoot off at night for a guy all hopped up on no-doze in the desert with nothing to do but watch Thomas the Tank Engine with some beat up dudes.

Wasn't it shown in an earlier (later?) strip that Beef is in fact left-handed? In that case, shooting a gun left-handed would be perfectly natural.

most epic Achewood strip award
Word. Wasn't this the only arc to crash the achewood servers?
Beef and Ray were so legit they burned down the servers too?
God I wish I knew about Achewood back then
word.
who would need NoDoz during the Great Outdoor Fight, may I ask? what, is it not exciting enough?
{panel 2, for anyone that doesn't know where I'm coming from}
Well, I assume that some of the fighters get a bit of sleep at night and during the later days I suspect that people become a bit more wary and there's less of the raw, full-on brawling of the earlier days.
Sleep?
I thought it was a johnny wrapper
The guy who bought the turkey and brandy had NoDoz on his receipt. Chances are that turkey had been sweating away in the back of the very truck that Ray and Beef storm to victory in.
on forums and such people were agonizing over the "meaning" of nodoz being listed on the receipt because they are internet people and refused to recognize it as a gag
I believe Onstad employed the phrase " crankcase fire ".
Oh dang I didn't know that. I think I didn't check the strip until that night.
Best Steve McQueen movie EVER.
That of course explains why none of the strips are in the most commented or the most viewed.
