this kills me. I die laughing.

Apparently, the guy in the Victorian diving apparatus is doing it all wrong; all he has to do is look at this comic, in which he is featured.

hell of an existentialist conundrum, man

And the patient says "But Doctor, i AM Pagliacci"

That's my hotmail name. But I thought of it as a reference to Watchmen before I knew about the whole opera thing.

It is a source of occasional shame to me.

Apples and oranges, sir. Your comment is far too generalized.

Two haiku for you!

Well. I'm not a sir.
Unless Cryztal is a dude's name.
But I could be wrong.

What was I thinking,
Being general online?
Sorry for faux pas.

I like the effort
It's too bad your second line
Has eight syllables

Well shit.

As well it should be. Now lay down and die like a good clown.

what happened is the kid went swimming after eating a hamburger and the father didn't warn him.

I'm surprised nobody had diabetes

achewood is a terrifying journey of the too real

That suicide would be one hell of a youtube video.

Teodor wanted to get some dope from Ray

Astutely noticed my friend!

No, sirs. It is Ray who gets dope from Teodor. He probably needed some olive oil.

Could be dope, could be bandaids or a cup of Ketel_1.

maybe it's just a fact of people who tend to play online strip poker

They need something else to think about.

i'd thought it was everyones poker faces they were trying to pull.

gonna give a guy with a sick kid more cash right?

Not if it was his fault, no.

Isn't everything Ray ever does 'accidental'?

Terminal diseases and getting naked. I mean, why not?

There's nothing more awesome looking than a Victorian diving apparatus. If the guy is going to play a stacked game of Russian roulette, hopefully it can be salvaged.

This will always make me think of the Dali scene from The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Klay.

You have saved a great life.

Did they make that into a movie and no one told me? Dammit, Jim!
That guy, he can write.

achewood achieves brilliant and memorabe characterization in the space of one panel. gold.

The best part (not involving the other best parts): these people are playing strip poker and are wearing as many clothes as they can to prevent themselves from getting anywhere near nude.

Maybe the guy in the diving apparatus is upset that he came last in the London marathon.

I wonder if the gun would actually pierce the helmet. If it didn't, and the helmet is as airtight as it looks, then it'd produce one hell of an ear-wrecking sound. Maybe he's a masochist.

I just love the idea of that image, staying perfectly still, with a gun in hand occasionally coming up for a few seconds very slowly.

exactly

wait for it
[IMGS OFF]

Damn. You computer people amaze me. I'm sure it's simple, but try telling me that.

it is usually me posting the gifs. this one is rad. chubbied.

Oh man that is too perfect would you please just GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!

I gave this asset its 69th chubby

I'm really sad that I can't chubby this more.

I was really really hoping he'd drop the gun back out of frame really suddenly, as though he'd chickened out. But it is still Chubberific.

THIS IS LOST FOREVER!

This might give some insight into Ray's character. He seems all cheerful and everything, but look what he spends his time doing, and look how depressed everyone else doing it is. Dude could have mad repression issues.

I wonder...what the guy in the Victorian diving apparatus would take off first in strip poker?

One bolt.

SO SEXY

Somewhere there is a fetish for this.

Oooh la LA! La la la la la LAAA!

Worst strip poker played on ugliest webcam.

I kind of wish the entire strip was just the last panel. Still gets a five though.

Online strip poker is hell of depressing.

I believe it makes me a horrible person, but "He's pretty sure it's his fault" is absolutely hilarious to me.

This is my favorite comic of ever.

I. Can't. Stop. Laughing.

If no-one had told me it was driving apperatus, I would have had no frickin idea. To me it just looks like some sort of blinged up glass robot (which probably isn't a great life in itself) .

The moral of this strip is:
Family will always bring you down
ditch those fuckers

the man in the victorian diving apparatus would have to lose quite a few hands in order to lose the helmet, so that his bullets would be effective.

Why can't Ray dress up like this every strip?

Do you have any idea how long it takes to get that gussied up just to be taking off your clothes for the internet? Also, I think that's the same suit he wore to RB's wedding, minus the tophat and that...thing...around his neck.

The alt text is true, the internet really is the Depression Superhighway. Everywhere you go, man

This strip reminds me of this in many different ways.
Actually only one way really but that is all I need.

The man in the Victorian diving apparatus is normally passive, but lay one finger on his little sister and he will bash your head in with a defunct mining apparatus.

Ha.

"Depression Superhighway".

Classic.
