I wish that we will learn what happened with LN. I mean, is he dead for good? When are we going to see Ray's rection? I like the strips (I really like this one in particular) since he died, but I feel like Onstad is stalling.
lightupafatty » neu22 hours ago
I dont really mind the delay, Achewood's been no stranger to leaving storylines unclosed for long periods of time. I think it's important that he retains the freedom to drop stories abruptly and basically do whatever the hell he wants with the strip...
I'm sure when he gets around to it it'll be quality.
sje46 » neu17 hours ago
That is a good point. He should take his time. I wonder how much of this he has planned out, and how much is extemporaneous?
lightupafatty » neu16 hours ago
yeah i am totally waiting very excitedly for the eventual DVD with commentary by chris for every single strip. i am not kidding. he could read the alt text and then give us other thoughts. it would be awesome. and he would answer questions like this.

We already saw Ray's reaction. He was lying in bed with a bottle of champagne and a smile on his face. Then he turned out the lights. By clapping.
What other reaction could there be?

I don't think he realized that LN had died yet.

Ray's probably just assuming Little Nephew went back to wherever he stays when he's not at Ray's.
gethen » neu13 hours ago
Ray knows LN is with Molly's people. Ray has not made the connection that LN must be dead in order to travel with them. Or he has, and figures Beef just married a woman who died young and she turned out really well... I'm sorry, I've just become overcome with a wave of surreality and feel a bit seasick
mystkmanat » neu5 hours ago
you're right, he gave them permission to take LN! he just didn't realize what that entailed.
westsider8 » neu5 hours ago
Yeah, and if he can't get in touch with them there, then he's probably at Chamonix. He has a tab there with them for this sort of thing. Could be a solid year before Ray realized LN is gone.

LITERATURE FIGHT.
I liked it.
falseprophet » neu10 hours ago
I read it in a week for a American lit class in college. People told me that the reason I didn't enjoy it was that I rushed through it for the necessary reason described above, even though they were only saying this because they really liked the Professor and were convinced that his ramblings gave his class character, and had not read the book.
But for me, the story went like this:
"Hey what's up. I'm a dude named Augie March. I don't know what I want out of life but I get lots of cool experiences mainly because I am handsome. Apparently, I'm Jewish because the guy who wrote my book is Jewish, even though that never comes up anywhere in the freaking book. If you need the kind of Judaism that is spelled out for you, read Malamud.
"There's a bunch of interesting characters, but I can't really spend time with them. You're stuck with me and my bland descriptions of my interactions with them. Anyone of them could be a much more interesting narrator for a novel but I'm more important because I cover so much ground.
"Check it. I totally bone a bunch of boring, overly submissive female characters but it's important because it's the fifties and I guess this has never happened in a novel before. I don't know I didn't really look. There's a few interesting women like the chick who has a baby out of wedlock by some other dude and I help take care of her but I got 200 more pages to fill and I can't be held down with a plot so I got rid of her.
"I think I stole books for a while. It makes me a rebel but with a dash of likeable hipsterism. I will inspire a generation of dudes to wear glasses without frames. And scarves. Lots of scarves. They will think they can get laid this way.
"I go to Mexico with this other chick and become a falconer, but I suck at it so I go back home to Chicago.
"Oh shit World War II started. I guess I want to fight or something. That's what everyone wanted to do during my generation right? My ambivalence which comes more from a lack of describing what I'm thinking than what I am actually thinking makes me so compelling.
"I marry some other random chick. The End."
Fuck that guy.

spinynorman » neu22 hours ago
One time my friend got pretty blazed and drunk and we were standing outside a house and few people came out and started a campfire. My friend began cheering them on by shouting things like "FUCK YEAH! FIRE!" and "BURN THAT SHIT!" and "SET THAT SHIT ON FIRE!" When I told him he was being kind of an ass he turned to them and said, semi-obnoxiously, "Hey, man, sorry for partying," as though to say, "Just because you're not partying means that I have to put my completely great partying on low heat? That is mega bullshit, but whatev, chief."
Ever since the phrase "Sorry for partying" has become an arbitrary expression of moral and drunken superiority among my pals. If you do something crazy like shit on a put bill, well, "Sorry for partying," and you are completely in the right. Vomit pants buttons all over a passed out cheerleader at a baby shower? Sorry for partying. Snort a line of organic honey and get three chicks and a dude pregnant? Sorry for partying. Slam some weed in some everclear and pound some hoot juice and wind up freezing up the Jumotron at a Knicks game? Sorry for partying.

spinynorman » neu7 hours ago
I bet drunken anecdotes would get really obnoxious if I just did not stop telling them. I'd be like that prick at the party who always has to one up every story anyone else tells. Just constantly. bringing the conversation back to the subject of himself. Except in this case I'd be trying to upstage Chris Onstad and the internet.

I think it's an intentional typo. The idea of shitting on a pit bull is intrinsically somewhat absurd, and the typo draws attention to it.

A tomato provides minimal crash protection at best. For the human race at large, this is possibly the best place for Insane Clown Posse to be, since it's prohibitively expensive to launch them into the sun.

daidai » neu21 hours ago
This is my idea for the best tattoo-related thing to do ever. In a horrible way.
I want to take the drunk girl at a party to a tatoo parlor, and get her a tattoo of the monopoly guy (or better yet, my smiling face) between her breasts so that it looks like he is holding them apart with viscious glee. When her breasts are not held apart, the only parts of the tattoo visible are the fingertips on the inside edges of the knockers.
People will be all "what are those things on your boobs?" and she'll shamefully (or optimally, with great pride) spread her breasts to reveal my opus.
I have lost many nights of sleep over whether or not the monopoly guy should have a big speech bubble that says "SURPRISE!". So many pros.
