Offtopic nonsense-
With the name baryonyx I have to assume you are the opposite of Barry White. Thus, you are pale white, have a high pitch voice, are stick thin and get nowhere with the ladies.
I hope I am wrong.

DO IT! It's amazing. If you've got a halfway decent comic shop in town, the stuff you want is called Sandman Mystery Theatre. Each of the stories are contained within 2-4 part arcs so it's not hard to drop in wherever, but I recommend starting at the beginning.

Hella back slappin'. We totally got this from the same place. Our minds, is connected.

(Because that's all they found!)
The local museum has a copy of them, they're a good 8-foot long. They stopped showing them recently and thus have them up the back. I'm attempting to get a job there just to frequent the back storage area and sit and bask in the awesome on my lunch break.
This is the plan, anyway.

Also, you should schedule regular rereadings. I try to do it at least twice a year.

just so long as ray doesnt write himself a "tell all" autobiography like Obama did, I'm not sure i could handle a 300 page volume of reminiscences about "tough customer" ham snack pockets.

I like the reference to the old political technique of deflecting a probing question by praising the insightfulness of the question itself. Ray is definitely charismatic and deceitful enough to be the next (Bill) Clinton.

But I could have sworn...!
Whatever. It was late. My contacts were dry. Some excuse that would adequately explain away the failure of my eyesight. This is the internet, I cannot take back my shortcomings, I can only hope that others learn from them.

What really made this strip for me is that Ray's only real qualification for the position was being a member of the Mayor's foursome.

Strips like this make me realize how infrequently you actually see the word "Achewood" in the strip itself.

Seems like the only person who chose Ray is the former Mayor.
But he's more popular than every candidate in every country in an election year. I'd say they all chose Ray.
I think that might change when he fails to repair budget discrepancies or prevent local merchants from being forced out.
That is a totally good comment. Could you email that to me sometime?
i Believe i can say that this phrase will be a Thing on Assetbar.
It's nearly a year later, and you're sadly wrong.
So sadly wrong that some got on the mayor.
Fortunately, he's only having a short-term heart attack.
Ray Smuckles is among the most successful businessmen in the world today.
Sometimes I think that Ray must be Lady Luck's booty call he falls ass-up into money so often.
The bitch set him up.
LADY LUCK FUCKS BALD CATS
no ti ssap
we chose bill clinton, a party animal, as our president
Vote Andrew WK for president.
with track titles like "it's time to party", "party hard" and "party 'til you puke" it is no wonder.
party party
party hard
i view partying with
fond regard
party in a dude's backyard
i had strongly considered including that quote but i thought it might be a little obvious given my avatar
Behind every great man is a nervous man with a really high-powered brain.
And wireless internet lodged in his body.
Beef is there to make sure that Ray doesn't get blazed and show up at a press conference looking like Jack White, Marlon Brando, or perhaps the gentleman pictured below:

Noriega was always such a whimsical cat/
His shirts were oft kooky, not to mention his hat.
Context!
My brain aches for want of context!
To be honest, if memory servers, it has something to do with Britney Spears.
Probably complicates things more.
oh how memory severs
Memory servers just made more sense to me. I just imagined you tapping into one of your many external terrabyte-drives to dig up the required data and perhaps an accompanying story.
I have worked for the Florida Democratic Party through two election cycles. You do NOT know how true this is (except you missed out on the nervouc overweight woman BEHIN D the skinny guy).
Beef makes the trains run on time.
Funniest comic in a while, and I wholly agree with Ray's sentiments

*Eighty* pounds?
Somebody better tell Guinness they screwed up.
Have you ever picked up a cat?
Well...DJ Ray got awful chubby this year.
Given that the titles appear to be in a Germanic language (which wasn't English) I would hazard a guess that the scale was in kilograms, not pounds.

You guys insist that cats are filled with lead or something. I'm just trying to set you straight. Don't want to see a fellow AcheWorlder get stuck in Hell when the Friendly's menu asks how much most cats weigh.
Assetbar, you have problems with googling "world's fattest cat pounds" or something. Not my problem.

Ray Smuckles knew back then that this civil rights thing would be hott today. He pays attention.
