one does not have to belittle ones own hose to praise anothers.........

If I were pressed to come up with something like this to say quickly I'd just take a christian rock song and replace "our god" with "your dick".

I would listen to far more Christian Rock if even one song on every album followed that rule.

Chubbied for that, That I will use, should probably write it down first...

Onstad's excellent ability to use timing in a web comic makes the last panel just so much better. Also another chubby for the metaphor.

Yes, it's how Einstein proved his most important theory.


The one about a peeled hose looking better to the ladies.

Pat is a man of principle. He's not going to say he's wrong for some petty reason like saving his own life.

No, Pat is trapped between his explosive fury and his dire circumstances, and knows if he opens his mouth a torrent of vitriol will rush forth and Jeebus knows what else might deposit internal juices on his person before this ends.

That pause was at least 10 seconds

These storylines are generally termed "careers".

Chubbied for awkwardness.

People here seem to be pretty forgiving if you man up to your faux pas, which is appreciated.

Your hose is so flaccid it giggles when you poke it.

(Subtext : I have insulted a dude's hose.)

Never insult a Cats personal hose, otherwise you will be paying for it later. Paying for it, over a mobile phone.

Yes. Also known as an "anteater."

What, am I supposed to come by that infromation practically?

agh typo

Circumcision is wrong and I want my foreskin back. But I'll spare you all my ranting on the subject.

Circumcision may or may not be wrong, but you have to admit that turtlenecks are mega nasty-looking. Whyever it started, it's too late to go back now.

I don't often find myself looking at them.

Gay.

I guess this post was lamed by folks with uncircumcised wieners.

Good god please don't let this turn into a circumcision debate.

I would have liked to see where this arc ended up.

The honor of his junk was compromised, and must be restored.

Is there a plastic surgeon in the house?

I have been wanting to drink beer...

Barbs, dude. It's all in the barbs.

for sure.

Well played!

My dick smells.

Along with "fuck along, now", this is one of my favourite Achewood phrases and one that I try to use every single day.

All classifying the hallucinations into three distinct categories. Which colors translate into which genres of music, and vice-versa in case they don't directly translate both ways. All helping him come up with a bestitute for pot in brownies and finally leading him down the path that makes him decide on salvia.

An aside: Pat is the only person, real or fake, that I could justify giving salvia to while they were tripping acid. Jesus Jumped-Up Tap-Dancing CHRIST what would that do to a person? I could see something like that catching on in meth-heavy communities and leaving shattered husks of humanity from Hell to breakfast. Moreso, even.

I once smoked salvia while tripping. It didn't really kick in, which was very fortunate in hindsight. Another experience later on caused me to respect salvia much, much more than I had been, at which point the magnitude of my smoking-while-tripping folly became clear. In my defence, I had had a few beers also. I HAD been wanting to drink beer.

Well, I'm fairly certain his spirit animal is the Dung Beetle, and it doesn't like him, either.

it's always part of mine

I still feel cheated that this was never really resolved.

When your friends are in a predicament and need your help, it is a good time to extract compliments from them, especially compliments concerning your genitals.

pat is no ones friend

They should make a phoneline where you call in and people say nice things about your dick. And it'd be law.

"The Turtleneck Toms" is a name my team often uses at the local weekly trivia night.

Local weekly trivia nights? Such things exist? I wonder if there's one in my area...

i am Intrigued. dang.

Why is Ray not wearing his standard phone jacket here?

the magical realism camera contradicts this strip.

No it doesn't. It just shows that Pat sees himself being circumsized, you know, ideally.

uncircumcised dicks usually have the foreskin rolled back while erect. human ones, anyway.

delightful.

a happy thought to start my evening.

Wait a sec- Circumcision is "the very lifeline of my heritage" for Ray.
Is Ray Jewish?

He does, in fact, mean his cock.

His cock, he does mean.

His cock is mean!

But his chillies are rad!

he's got rad chillies!

I was just wondering the same thing!

Self Dick perception in my worls is huge. Literally and figuratively.

there needs to be an 'arc' completing dead end storylines... other than tofutti cuties

Ray likes Mel Gibson apparently

Mad Max, Braveheart when Philippe went missing

I love this one, but does it bother anyone else that, just a short while ago (when the banjo broke in the first place) Ray was incapacitated by the Satanic connection between the banjo music and his quick onset diabetes conniptions. What the hell happened to that?

The banjo broke, ergo no more music, leaving Ray neither diabetic nor Satanically possessed once more.

can't go wrong with dick and fart jokes!

Why is Ray using the speakerphone function in this strip?

Why not?

You obviously don't Know Black People, but they love to use speakerphone at every opportunity. Which is basically anytime they aren't wearing their Bluetooth headset.

Ray is...Black People?

Wait, your capitalization slightly confuses me. Are you talking about black people, in general, or is there some specific comedy group/TV show/somesuch called Black People you are talking about?

I capitalized "Know Black People" just because its sort of a paradigm, people trying to figure out a different group of people. It's all tongue in cheek.

Yeah, I don't remember posting that, so I'm not sure if I was really being serious with that question. Probably I wasn't, but you never know.

When I look back on comments I have left, I rarely remember posting them. Weird.

I want to know how this all turned out. The only explanation I can think of is that Lonis was somehow behind all of this.

An unfinished story arc about demonic possession and a devil banjo rendered incomplete directly before the birth of the authors first born.

What does it all mean?

It means that Onstad was so distracted by his babby that he forgot all about a demonic banjo dragging an anthropomorphic cat down a sidewalk.

it is important to note that Onstad wrote about circumcision about 3 days before his child was born. Clearly an instance of the daily life of the man being present in the strip.

(yes, i know he had a girl... but clearly there was a point when the gender was unknown to them)

Or maybe he lives in Burundi.

OH NO I DIDN'T

come on man...

Pat! You're being dragged to your death by a satanic banjo! HOW COME?

i was 19 this day

Ray has an uncanny sense of justice.

Pat is missing the lowwer part of a leg in Panel Two.

Fuck.

Huh... you're right!? Never noticed it before...

It's dragging under him.

Oh.

And kind of poorly drawn.

Old Achewood.. maybe Chris hadn't attained his current level of drawing skill, ignoring the four years he was already drawing comics for the internet usage purposes. I don't even know what i just said, but damn if it aint an idea.

Ray's sense of justice is simple, yet so brilliant that I am humbled before him.
Say good stuff about my dick.
