Ray Smells Like Farted-In Vinegar Monday, April 19, 2004 • read strip Viewing 57 comments:

I know a girl named Derek!

My real name is Derek and I'm a dude.

I read this strip and my heart sank

Other strips indicate that Ray was not, in fact, a particularly fat child.

Who's to say he wasn't an insecure little kitten?

Oh lord, if there were some kind of phrase to pull me out of a hangover, I'd give most of my money to the speaker.

Damn, on re-reading this I cursed that I had never used this phrase to wake up a hungover person.

The Donald Trump of homeless people.

I bet Teodor has had to use this line to snap Ray out of this before.

I really want to know why telling Ray he was a fat child snaps him out of his ramblings.

The anguish of being forced to recall that one used to be a fat child can snap a cat's distracted mind back into focus. . . focus on the pain.

Pride, dogg, nothing but simple pride.

Beef waving hi in the last panel really makes it for me.

Same here, Teodore's verbal assault to snap Ray out, Beef all meek to let him know what's real.

He is possibly waving away bad smell.

Still moderately Influenced, the main cat thinks about killing dogs.

Upon a reread, I see my apologies are owed. My addled brain read "anesthesia" as "euthanasia".

The strangeness is lessened, but not eliminated.

Well, it doesn't matter. Whichever removes the dogg's pain...

God, let's not get into the whole canine mercy-killing debate... There is just too much to take into consideration, Assetbar.

It is such a complex topic

What in the jam

It is such a complex topic.

the dick dale line is amazing.

he plays 14 gauge strings.

Bo Derek is a woman with the name of Derek.

Who lamed this

Ray talks like Beef when hung over

splendid & novel adjective alert: "farted-in"

Donald Trump IS a corny douchebag.

And finally, after 3 (?) Trump references, Onstad isn't afraid to say it.

As of now, I am going to start saying "holy dickens and delilah, what in the jam"

teodor is pretty brilliant in this one. motherfucker comes out swingin.

Hey RAY! You smell like farted-in vinegar! How come?

Ray looks a little like Emeril in panels 4 and 6.

A comment left by sidxdeadgod was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by dismas, luckypyjamas, yingkaixing, Darthemed)

A comment left by beansdooma was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by dismas, Zem, yingkaixing)

it looks like beef is shaking his fist at ray in the last panel but i can't be sure

First Achewood I ever read.

I basically had no idea what was going on, but I still couldn't stop laughing at... pretty much the entirety of the bottom four panels. Good times, man. Good times.

£

"You... were... a... fat... child!"

Someday I will say that to someone, and it will be awesome.

i will say it in proper italics , to sound so much more a dick.

It's kind of sad that Téodor can only gather the courage to speak his mind about Trump while he's in Germany. At least say it on the same continent, dude.

oh man. do i totally want to know what asian-character that is in your post. like some ghost in the machine could fracture your keystrokes to get out a desperate message.

knowing how life really works though, it probably says "gherkin" or some such.

A mystery asian character? All assetbar gives me is a sad little diamond shape with a question mark inside. I'm feeling ripped off.

It all depends on what type of acid you took and when you took it...

5 for fat child wake up. Onstad continues to admit what everyone is secretly afraid of.

Roast Beef is concerned about waking up the wino.

The Fire-Rescue folks around here do it by jamming their thumb into your solar plexus.

Please don't ask me how I know this.

Teodor's right about Trump.

This is golden. Panel 4. What a thing to say upon waking from a drunken stupor.

In panels 4 and 6 ray's mouth reminds me of Master Shake's...i don't know why.

I want to know how Teodor knows what farted-in vinegar smells like. Because, you see, this was BEFORE the situation where he might have learned that.

If you think that is the only time Lyle has done something obscene in vinegar, you are living in a world Teodor wishes he also inhabited.

This comic is obsessed with D-names: Donald, Dickens, Delilah, Dick Dale, Derek... why?

Dunno.

I wonder what farted-in vinegar WOULD smell like...has someone tried it?

Yes .

This comic could just be the last panel.
