This is the best Achewood strip. Unquestionably. The transition from waterskiing to playing a saxophone with cowboy boots on is almost too much to handle.

Oh Jesus, he is damn prancing with those boots, possibly some kind of jig emitting from his horn.

I think you're absolutely right. But i think its funnier to imagine that Ray is playing some classy tune on the sax, to the sea no less, yet still wearing nothing but a captains hat, thong and cowboy boots.

That classy tune is 'Baker Street' by Gerry Rafferty.
... No ? You say No ? Prove me wrong, man, prove me wrong!

Painfully, hysterically true.
Next thing you know, he'll be cold reenacting every Duran Duran video in existence.
All chasing some chick through the jungle in facepaint
All sumo-wrestling with a topless model
All dancing on a gigantic block of ice

Two of these three videos involve being violent or frightening a lady. The third on is reminiscent of my jigging freezer sprites. That is all.

A love the perfect contrast between an incredibly serious and deep look on his face when his thoughts are of playing a sax in a captains hat. I think I do a similar thing in most meetings at work.

You can tell that if his captain's hat were removed, his eyebrows would be in the same position as in panels 5 and 6.

Chubby just for making me imagine that, and the subsequent 3 minutes of laughter that followed for no apparent reason.
I kinda wanna borrow my roommate's cowboy boots and reenact that last panel. But with more clothing.

I have been on a boat approximately once and we ran over a gar (this was on Lake Martin in Alabama), and i swear it flipped us off with it fin. So what I am saying is I'm glad the prehistoric fucks are endangered and if they're not we should fix that.

I was on a motorin' yacht and we hit a seal. I was eight. I screamed, but the real horror was yet to come: the seal caught in the undertow, and it's lil' seal body got all nasty and hacked up from the propeller. Oh, the eight-year old screeches and the red, red seal blood did flow.

When i was about twelve, we were on a road trip, driving through the mountains in North Carolina. It was about 12:30 at night, and my stepbrother and my sister were sleeping. My brother and i were playing our GameBoys. Suddenly we heard this thud and a large white thing dragged across the passenger-side window. My mom pulled to a literal screeching halt and immediately began to hyperventilate. Between gasps we heard her say, "I just hit a person ."
My brother and I began screaming blue murder, thinking it was a skull we'd seen.
It turned out a woman was hitchhiking in a cocktail dress and very visibly drunk, and we'd hit her hand. It cracked off the side mirror.
The fun part was wedging this drunken, injured woman between an eight-year-old on the verge of tears and myself while trying to convince her that yes, she needed to go to he hospital and no, we would not put the radio to classic rock. It was a long drive to Asheville.

When I see "fix up a boat" my brain automatically brings forth memories of the movie Rookie of the Year where some kids have "wood, in the vague shape of a boat" and they fix it up by adding a used motor to the back. They then use their new, fully restored, boat-shaped piece of wood to pick up some middle school girls in one piece bathing suits.
And then the one kid pitches the Cubs into the world series.
