Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts is a great game.

i got the idea that the only part of heaven that burned was the apartment building containing molly.

Then why did all souls burn?

All the souls in that apartment building.

That's decidedly less dramatic.

In Achewood, heaven is an apartment building with a chinese restaraunt staffed by an angry chinese dude. And hell is just like real life, only a bit more kafkaesque and with a free 1982 Subaru Brat. I know which place I'd rather go. (hint: it isn't heaven)

Sure he's angry, but it's takeout. You don't have to put up with him. Plus Hell seems kind of lonely.

Man I just really like Subaru Brats.

To each his own, I suppose.

But no rollerskate harbringer...

Well, the title of this strip is "Ray Kills Phillipe".

Except his reaction was equally violent in that instance, too.

huh-huh. He said catatonic.

I think he could not have reacted this way to anyone else's death but Philippe's. They all just love that little guy.

Huh.. Teodor doesn't seem all that upset.

This here comment is straight up genius.

Seconded.

If those are really just styrofoam cups then what is ray using here ?

I like to think that Ray made them.

the headphones aren't anywhere near ray's ears anyway. very mysterious.

"Pouf" has become an onomatopoeia that I will always associate with badassery in Achewood, starting when Beef got off his bike before the GOF.

was it first in "until you are SO nude" or was that "puf"

1. Styrofoam spray-paints like a bitch, FYI. I don't recommend it.
2. This is the most sublime strip I have fived.

I love how Ray instantly goes catatonic. Doesn't even flop over or anything, until Teodor pushes him. Just freezes. Classic.

and the subtle difference in the horrified expression between paneks 7 and 8. Classic.

There is no difference. What'choo talkin' 'bout?

i dont see that, but i do see the change in panels 4 and seven. at first its shock, then ray's lower lip curls in horror

it's subtle but by jove I think you're right!

Contrast this with Roast Beef, who goes catatonic when he steps in dogshit.

The alt text seriously made me think that Phillipe was dead.

I'm listening to In the Summertime. Idk why but it makes this comic way funnier. Perhaps I'm just weird like that.

...i can honestly see why that would be funny.

Not unlike listening to Yesterday as some dudes put dynamite under an elephant.

Teodor is like the closest thing to a regular guy in all of Achewood.

Ray can't bear the thought that he hurt his favorite kid.

Another near-death experience-
courtesy of: Coors!

all "Come into the light!" and you walk toward it and there's girls in bikinis bouncing up and down, and there's a pool and you're fit and tanned and your spraying people with a shaken up can of Coors and all of a sudden God is chuggin with ya and you're all more like a near-AWESOME experience!

When I first read this one, I didn't get that Ray had gone catatonic. I thought the big reveal here was that Airwolf was just a prop helicopter, with fake headphones and a fake Ray as the pilot.

It was a totally different strip.

Oh thank god I wasn't the only one. I had no fucking clue what I just saw. Kinda detracted from the 'oh holy shit did ray just kill phillipe' part of the strip.

Ray Smuckles cares about the children.

I still kinda wish that Phillipe had died
