Classic!

I'm taking inventory, too!

OH NICE. We now have the strip's title as the page's title.

dude I add'ly have a jshelton manager, no joke, I lamed him for the both of us

have a chubby. if your j shelton is as shit as mine, you need all the fucking chubbies you can get. fucking lousy sheltons.

Damn. I too know a J. Sheldon whom I don't like.

it's close enough! have a chubby.

maybe if i give enough chubbies out i'll get my lames back.

My paternal grandmother's maiden name is j. shelton

Perhaps she is your manager

Why does this guy's hair freak me out so much?
...
Ooooooh, right ...

Nice find! It is indeed the same hairstyle. Chubby for you.

did you also notice that it looks like Rod Huggins in a dreadlock wig and big shades?

Ah, I KNEW yesterday's strip was leading to something awesome. Hooray!

I had just started listening to Bob Marley before I checked Achewood today. What a good coincidence.

nah mun,, Jah wills it

Pshoooooo

Your couplets rhyme but make no sense,
De dum de dum de dum de dense.

half your chubby is for the pic of winslet.

It's a mild form of the 'animated gif of luscious bouncing boobs' effect.

I gave your chubby a chubby.

Now your clue is totally giving me a clue.

Dang. Chubbied

Incredible.

I vote a Five just for the night scenes.

I often wonder how to rate things. Onstad produces the highest volume of clever of any source I know on the internet. Therefore, it seems anything, no matter how paltry, should be voted a 5. Then I wonder, whats the point of the voting system? So, it leaves me confused.

my rating system:

1 = i get mad and turn off the internets.
2 = i do not even grin slightly and maybe am a little annoyed or offended.
3 = i smile and perhaps add laughter to my internal dialog.
4 = i laugh out loud. a genuine LOL but not an ROFL.
5 = i can't stop laughing. i think of this strip days later and laugh while riding the bus such that people are giving me concerned looks. i buy the t-shirt and quote the strip at social gatherings such that people are giving me concerned looks.

I'm not sure I've 1'd anything yet, but I like to think I'm not too generous with the 5. But I do mostly agree with your listing here.

This one gets a 4. I love the concept of Hyype therapy, it's just golden. It's a therapy you can believe in, if you're someone like Ray.

You thought this was all going to come back to lolcats? Thank god you were wrong.

"Ain't nothing funny about the lolcat deal. Ray being insecure cuz of Beef and Molly's wedding is funny as hell."

Took the liberty of fixing this for you!

Good thing you're not talking about the spelling, since we Americans spell "bastardizing" with a "z".

In America!

Ray's insecurities are not funny, Boom-Dat Hyype Terapy is.

ray exposes his secret life as a dancehall toaster??! big ups!!

Pshoooo

I'm giving YOU a chubby for the beautiful WTF typography.

Papa Puuung. Papa Puuung. Papa. Papa. Papa Puuung!

this direction is infinitely preferable to any of the ones i had envisioned

That pung means balls in swedish makes this all the better. Oh yes.

Meatballs? Like IKEA?

God, Ray is so ill. Somehow it makes sense that he went to someone named Papa Pung for therapy. Letting Beef go is going to be harder than he thought.

I dig the concept of Teodor's butt having an industry.

"LOOK AT HOW WACKY HE IS"

aka the Cosmo Kramer syndrome.

This has potential to be one of the best story arcs in at least a year.

Truth.

fallacy

Hip hop therapy. Give it up, y'all.

Maybe it is just me but I do not think this new character is as funny as, say, the asian guy that gave marrital advice to Roast Beef a month or so ago. Maybe it is just me though. Hopefully the laughs will come back soon!

Yeah that CHING CHONG WING WONG guy was pretty funny. A few delicate princesses got their panties in a bunch over that one though - racist apparently.

too early to judge.

Jim Rome would dig this strip, based on the "butthole" alone.

Ray is farting in the second panel.

OH MAN WE ALL SAW HIP HOP THERAPY A COMIN' BOO

A BLOO BLOO BLOO

i don't think the "pshoooo" is flatulence, just that noise real chill people make when they are disappointed in themselves.
i was wondering if ray's recent aggresiveness was going to turn into something, and it looks like it has.

Oh stewardess, I speak Hyype.

Until I posted, there were exactly 69 comments.

and it shows!

Panel 2 is my favorite rendition of Ray. Talk about something you don't serve with a chilled ros[e']

I'm hella pulling a psychology here

I'm drinking a chilled rosé right now... Coincidences!

should be BOOM-DATE HYPE T'ERAPY
