You gotta admit that sometimes Achewood just doesn't make any sense, and that makes it a bit like marmite, there are people who love Achewood and others who just don't get what it's about.

imagine the image coming down hard on the last panel, like a big stamp, alongside this like heavy clanging metal sound, like when you hear a jail cell close on tv. picture the final image in the way the "married with children" logo stamps down on the end of the credits.
this makes perfect sense to me.

The circle and his name are already on the screen; his face emerges from inside the circle and strikes the pose you see in the last panel. A chorus of female vocalists circa 1951 who are used to singing cigarette jingles such as Blow It In Her Face and She'll Follow You Anywhere sing his name in a pleasant melody.

101 indeed sucks, but what Rhino was saying is that Bay Area natives (and perhaps people who have migrated to the Bay Area who don't want to be mistaken for Southern Californians), refer to numbered highways without employing "the" before the number (though "the" is used before highways referred to by name, as in "the MacArthur," "the Embarcadero" [though the latter no longer exists]). "The" has been creeping into newscaster speech there occasionally, much to the dismay of locals. I used to think the "the" was only employed in SoCal, and thus I detested it. Like hating the Dodgers. Now that I've lived 5 years in Portland, I realize that it is used by people from all over.

He usually thinks no one will let him get away with it, this time he knows Ray has to stand back and say "you're the man". Beef is obviously not used to being the man, as evidenced by his strange boasts and non-sequiters. He will get better at it as the strip progresses.
