That's a good trick to get somebody to eat something.

That day, I had some nutrition. Not most days though.

Only a straight up rube rolls without glasses and plates.

This is how I see dinner with my mother going in about ten years.

Just being the best damn host, what mother couldn't be proud of a son who makes like she's the guest of honour at a fine establishment, pulling uot all the stops such as plates.

When my wife's mom comes over I take her to the Astor Lounge, it's got marble floors, crystal chandeliers and waiters in tuxedos. Of course, now that she knows what I'm up to it's hard to get her out of the car, and she remembers the way back to my house from there.

It breaks her heart. She greets her son with weird emotional blackmail.

So your mother wasn't Catholic, or Jewish.

Or female.

Huh. Well there you go.

O geez, I just remembered that this is what starts the Great Outdoor Fight arc. I know what I'm going to be doing for the next hour!

Right now it is 5:07 in the morning, and I have been telling myself for five strips that i need to go to bed before the words "Great Outdoor Fight" are spoken by Sondra. I'm pretty sure that happens in the next one, and i don't know if i have the willpower.

So when I finally sat down to look at Achewood, I decided to start at the beginning. I've read through every strip up to this point, and I am pumped that I will finally see what the Great Outdoor Fight is.

ray looks weird in a sweater.

I think he looks handsome

I'd give it a five for that sweater alone.

It's a weird thing to say, but she really does look like a cat dressed up in human clothes.

you can have anything you want...as long as it's a rib-eye and a mimosa

Awwwww!!!!

I was out with a girlfriend, early in our relationship, and we decided to purchase a rib-eye, and I informed her that it is the most nutritious cut of steak. She did not understand, but I understood that our love was not to be.

In the Smuckles family, everyone wears glasses in such a manner that you cannot see their eyes.

I didn't notice that, because it was bugging me that Ray's mum wears her glasses upside-down.

They have glasses! And plates!

I love Ray's little smile in the fifth panel.
He is his mommy's big baby boy.

chubbied because i am the same like that

Also chubbied for the avatar of frenetic perpetual motion.

He plays his mother soooo smooth! An example for all of us bachlors who are up to no good, and don't want our mothers to find out!

Rib-eye and mimosas are really the primary diet of Southern matriarchs. Eveything else is just gravy.

In an interesting turn of events, today is Wednesday, and I have had my nutrition. Yay, Nutrition Wednesday!

Rib-eye, mimosa and gravy? They must have a hell of a time staving off scurvy.

Not at all, the Mimosas contain orange juice. It is not only nutritious, but packed with vitamins.

And bubbly stuff.

That's what I get for not properly researching my malnutrition diseases.

...Beri-beri?

There is no thiamine to be had in this diet. Beriberi is a distinct possibility. It is a dreadfully sucky way to die .

Thank you, GCSE level Geography. That and some glaciation terms are probably the only things I took away from it.

those are the only ones i have!!
(i say, rewrite that for ease of reading.)

It is wednesday, and I have definitely not had any Nutrition. I am wandering through my house and giggling occasionally, and it is 3 AM (Wednesday) and all I have eaten is an entire jar of pickles and some oddly grainy Cherry Garcia ice cream in a container clearly labeled French Vanilla. I didn't eat yesterday.

I am not dissing Ray's mom, but she bears an uncomfortable resemblance to Dracula in his red outfit thing from Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 make of " Dracula ".

Ray's mom in the last panel reminded me of this:

[IMGS OFF]

Man, that chick looks hot. Oh no wait, she looks old and hagard. Oh, no, ok, now she looks hot again. Oh shit, no, old and hagard! Hot girl, why don't you look this way . . . aaaaaahhhhh oldddd haagggggaarrrdddddd noooooooo!

Uuuunnnhhh I can't see the hot chick what am I doing wrong!

Oh wait there she is

It helps if you think you're looking for a hot chick who's just had her throat slit.

huh. ray cleans up well.

huh. ray cleans up well.

Ribeye is my fave cut of steak, five'd like a mo' fucka
