I just don't have it in me to lame a guy who's named untilyouaresonude.

I have been up and down these forums and this is still the truest statement I have ever read.

Goddamn is Ray quick with the comeback.

I know that is a lot better than I would have stuttered out. But I have little to no history of throwing down.

I said it 2 strips ago and I'll say it again: Best... Lines... Ever...

He rips the dude's face off!

[ergo: 5/5]

Yeah, I really didnt know what to think about this the first time I saw it. I mean, it's not really something you see that often, you know?

it's not what you expect from a comic full of cartoon stuffed animals and housepets.

Yes. Also, damn!

I once had a girlfriend who loved that book. She liked it so much that it made me decide never to read it.

chubby for chuck


One of the worst authors ever. Would not reccomend more than one book to any of my friends.

They're all the same. Nothing new in any of them.

I think he's a good *writer*. It's hard, though, to argue that it isn't misogynist, whiny white-boy-pain writing.

But i still think he's a good writer, in the sense of a "wordsmith." It's like CSI being honest with itself: kind of just a disgusting set of misogynist presumptions.

No one said that it couldn't be done.

ah, shit, someone already said that.

Correctly.

No one said it could be done.

As a Texan, it is nice to see a cowboy's ass get served up cold once and again. Masculinity pales in the face of mindless, nihlistic violence.

THANK YOU!

you're welcome

You...I don't know you...

Get out of my assetbar!

I first thought the face ripping bit was a dream sequence, oh me of little faith.

This was the first strip I ever saw. I then thought the strip had a lot of fighting in it.

The GOF was the first story arc I read, and I too, thought it would be full of face-ripping.

it's not, but I wasn't too disappointed.

Tearing someone's face off = 5.

There is no better come back in this world than clean ripping a dude's face off all stone cold like.
5/5

In a fight, yes. When a buddy makes a joke about your mom, ripping his face off might not be great.

Come on, I'm sure you can think of a joke that would require the immediate removal of all mandibilic musculature.

DC

Your mama's so fat, I ripped her face off during a honky-tonk-style blowjob. Slurp.

Your junk's gonna smell like Skoal or we're givin your money back; that's the Honky-Tonk-Style Blowjob Guarantee.

Named loosely after his favourite toy truck, that would lower its scooper just like that.

This is when Ray proves for the first time what he can really do, on his own. Truly he is the Son of Rodney.

This strip still makes me want to puke every time I see it. Amazing.

you and Ray both, it seems...(turns the page)

Haha, there are no pages! This is the internet .

But... it's a page on the internet. Wait, what?

The difference is, here we click . There, we turn .

This PSA brought to you by the Council for Technological Obsequiousness.

Obsequiousness? Did you learn that word at talk like a dick school?

Nerd school. We could take one class a semester at TLaDU for credit, but I was more focused on being a big ol' dork.

HE TORE HIS FACE OFF .

5/5 and a nomination for the Hall of Fame.

The alt text really made this strip funny for me rather than just plot development violence

HOLY SHIT!

Seriously, HOLY SHIT.

This is still just as shocking as the first time I saw it. SOOO over the top.

Ray just went all pro-ice

YES!

the dude has got no mercy

he points too much.

I just realized that this comic is a callback to the first one with Envelope Martinez, where Ray was cheating his way into his reputation. Here, faced with a raw situation, he actually does remove the dude's face. This is where it became clear this storyline was going all the way, wherever that ended up being.

Rad, I just noticed in panel 8, Ray's tail goes all fluffy, 'cause he's super pissed.

Can I get a chubby here? I'm fresh out, and the comment above needs one.

done and done.

And done.

So this is where ray proves that he can fight in his own right

Face.

Off.

No more drugs for that man!

I have generally found that a guaranteed honky-tonk style blowjob ordered from roomservice will be of low quality, like the in-room breakfast. Best to walk a block or so to somewhere specialist.

Man, in the second to last err box (what do you call the boxes in the comic strip? do they have a name?!) the guy is just like "Wait, woah! Is this guy ACTUALLY ripping of my lower jaw or did I just have a little to much blood to drink?"

PANELS! Jeez. Well, not like it's something that's easy to Google ebay for.

"Google ebay"

what

this

JESUS CHRIST!

DUDE IS RAW

Wow. Shades of Riki-Oh ...

At first I thought this would be the point where Ray would fail, where his tough front of uber-macho complete self-confidence would shatter under the hardened fists of a cruel cowpoke. But now, man. But now.

The "guaranteed Honky Tonk style blowjob" bit is the greatest comeback I've ever heard.

Oh my fucking god!

RAY JUST RIPPED DUDES FACE OFF OMFG SO RAWWWW

too much coffee

FUCK! Ray just ripped a man's face clean off!

I mean, who would have thought he had it in him?

He may be wearing glasses, but you know Ray is just fixed in a bloodlust trance because of his eyebrows and the crease under his eyes. Dude had a genuine Incredible Hulk moment right there, right along with the self-disgust in the next panel.

Okay, I was lukewarm on this story arc, just reading along to pass the time, when POW! The Face Rip!!

I like to imagine that Ray is just hovering in Panel 9.

The alt-text alone garners a five.

this is an example of how the concept of onomatopoeia can become confusing. Surely the SSSIP of a martini and the RRRRIP of Cody Travis' lower face sound entirely different in action, yet they rhyme on paper.

Guys, I think I know why you don't see Achewood in the newspaper

The strip where Ray Smuckles rips off Cody Travis's face may prove to be the greatest face removal of the modern era. More poetic than George Franju's Les Yeux Sans Visage, more startling than John Woo's Face/Off, more convincingly detailed than Jess Franco's Faceless, and more fucking RAW than a motherfucker.

You never, NEVER punch a man in a pork pie hat. EVER.

Or a cat in a pork pie hat either.

You don't punch a fucking cat any which way.

ray's sass is at its highest point in this arc.

this is why i love it

I was just thinking about how ironic it is that the square-jawed cowboy actually has a square jaw, and then Ray goes and tears it off. This comic, it hears me and answers.

DAAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAmn.

DAMN.

Ray's so rude, it's crazy! He is truly the So-Rodney.

There is no rating for this but 5. HE COLD RIPPED A DUDE'S FACE OFF. That is a 5. Any less should be a capital offence. You should be hauled up in The Hague just for giving this 4.

Easily one of the all-time great alt texts.

Best alt text.
