I find it odd that a comment which is quite valid was lamed into non-existence, whilst another comment saying the same thing was chubbied pretty good. It's not like the second was incredibly written or anything, it was just a fairly arbitrary decision. Is saint just a pretty good guy?

No. Saint's not such a great guy. This is an odd happening.

me break give a.

Yeah, man. Sorry about that. Just havin' a laugh at this point.

Strong the force is this one with.

Is that Tyra as Lo Pan?

What she said, that is.

Yeah, it was a decent first comment...

Rejoice, at this moment, the first comment has a 18/4 ratio and the second has 11/5.

he's not. as a seasoned viewer, i will inform you that broccoli and lolcats is something of a theme:

I have a computer. New, expensive and fast...I even coughed up the twelve bucks for the never gonna be updated members only deal...This "alt text" thing has me curious. How do I go about seeing such a thing?

Hold your cursor over the image (or right-click on the image and choose Properties) at www.Achewood.com, not at m.Assetbar.com/achewood.

What?

i made a rather explanatory comment a few bits down he page.

You cannot (as far as I know) view the alt-text in Acheworld (this discussion forum). However, if you view the comic strip on the regular Achewood page and hold your mouse still over the comic strip for a few seconds, a small text box will appear near the cursor.

panel 5: pensive stare. the music is perfect it is classical.

He's sorry. He'll make it up to him.

HEAR HEAR.

What has Ray done?

Where did the meme "im on/in yr ******, stealing your ****" come from? I see it online a lot these days...

The original was "I'm in ur base, killin ur doods" I believe it came from some other meme involving a command and conquer match. It's a pretty uninteresting story really.

damn straight. *snuffle*

POWER TO THE PUSSY

YES

Truly Ray has his finger on the pulse of internet humor.

Was actually Starcraft, I believe.
Also; OMG ZERGLING RUSH KEKEKEKEKEKE

the chans got pissy about it too

I'd support a raid since they are using it as an advertising hud and making money off of it (from what I understand)... but as far as anonymous getting all emo over someone "stealing" lolcats from them (it actually started on something awful), I don't support that. the chans aren't the Illuminati

OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD.

The cat realizes that his life is an empty husk

No, the empty husks are kept in the garage for when the guys need to go to human places in daylight.

did you think the photos just happened that way? psh.

are you sure? it doesn't take half a brain cell to slap text on a picture. you can do it in mspaint.
besides, ray has the capacity to compute, he just choose not to.

And one of them is wearing glasses, no less.

the chubbiest of chubbies.

lovely

Come on people, this needs to be the record-holder for number of chubbies.

chris may have unknowingly (or knowingly, i cannot doubt his genius) started an achewood "i can haz cheezburger" trend.

Count this as a chubbie, my friend.

Judging from his expression, it's more like "i can haz murdered 5 year old otter?"

At least Ray did not glock him. But then, this was about broccoli, not sustenance.

Ray's flirtation with lolcathood IS shameful. Much worse than underground street dancing, in my opinion.

Today is only the 8th where I am. Why so early?

It appeared on the 7th here. The only possible conclusion is that Onstad was badly stung by [rl=http://m.assetbar.com/achewood/uua7sb5sZ#comment_103]dirkd23's comment[/url] a month ago. Everyone knows that Onstad reads these comments and follows our orders. Publishing two days early is clearly his way of saying "Fuck you, too," to his insolent readers, only with subtlety and class.

That, or it was done early and he had plans for Sunday night.

The caveman in me loves the naked women but the sensible man in me finds their mission statement and pretension ridiculous.

I never in my life thought that this would ever be necessary, but something I enjoy is under attack so here goes:

I, rowboat, proclaim that Suicide Girls causes boners. So what if their mission statement is trite tripe? At the end of the day one must only ask him or herself one question - "Has this website, which has been categorically designed to give boners, given me a boner?" For those in the world who enjoy naked women, I think the answer is a resounding "yes."* Let us ask no more of it. Thank you.


* - Except, perhaps, the goth chicks wearing cheesy bat wings or some shit and with, like, twenty piercings per lady part. Mega-nasty, that.

True. Time spent reading any words on Suicide Girls= 4 minutes. Time spent with boner= I really should have stopped a sentence ago.

The situation here is that Roast Beef has reached out to Ray about his problem, but Ray yelled at him. Beef is sad because his friend has a problem.

Ray started a MySpace page. Now he's ashamed.

alright. i get this strip now. how come nobody told me about icanhascheezburger.com before?

uh, comic sans is a very commonly used (unfortunately) font.

That is hilarious.

Well, obviously, it...uh...yeah, I don't know either.

Nah, see, my take on this is that Ray is trying to distance himself from Beef now that he's getting married. It'll make the shock of losing him less intense. You see it a lot in kids going off to college etc.

To follow up Molly's expository A History of Beef blog with such a sad, sad portrait of the dude... Onstad, you're breaking my heart!

indeed. it has caused me pain.

Comic Sans and then this? Simply awesome.

I can just never get over how much I love Ray's little ears.

Oh man, he knows the shame and the private ecstasy.

I really like the idea that cat pictures with captions are like porn to them.

"Entertaining bluesmen in hell" is an event from Achewood history; it raked up good memories and made me laugh. Broccoli-eating on a rival's couch is just random shit that's got nothing to do with nothing.

I'd say the former is an excellent example of how lolcats-things could be funny, in contrast to the usual level of humor and insight in lolcats that Onstad is satirizing (such as a broccoli head on a couch might think up).

Or maybe I'm just defensive about giving one of those 90 chubbies, now that you pointed out the irony.

Manflesh brings the analysis.

Hehe. The cats talk just like people!

This comic is not about lolcats. It's about what's going on between Ray and Beef here.

Ray cries in total private.

4chan started it all with Caturdays. Or so I've read. It really is getting very annoying, though.

hahaha it's only half there because he's still talking.

Ha,yeah, I noticed that. Too bad you can't edit your posts. If anyone's wondering it says "Do not want". Funny thing is, my dog likes broccoli brocley. And cuccumbers.

broccoli dogs are funny!

Did anyone else notice the obscenely large doorway in #5? I ain't to good with depth perception these days.

Panel 4, and that's just because the "camera" is right next to the door.

The broccoli kinda looks like poo in a cone.

i don't care what anyone else says, lolcats are hilarious... i'm all for ray going down this path... although i wish it could've been done with more than broccoli tasting.

i love this comic today.

Q: Whats the difference between a cat and a dog?

A: Dog doesn't like broccoli.

Also I can't believe anyone still thinks "lolcats" are funny, image macros are like bumperstickers the most a reasonable person can ever expect from one is a single shocked chuckle (and only if it is a transcendentally funny one) and then every subsequent time you see it you should have the same vaguely angry/depressed reaction.

oh shoot... i just noticed how in the last three frames, onstad increases the amount of white space, little by little, to make ray look smaller.

so deep

I've given out enough chubbies on this page!?

hardly.

I would give you a chubby; alas, we are stricken with the same malady.

My personal hell is when I've given enough chubbies on a page but I've also used up my overall lame allotment. The chubby quoted really ought to be scaled by total posts on a page.

Perhaps this is just backlash from the helecopter blades episode?

I love the fact that the text on Ray's "lolcat" picture is so poorly done - instead of using a stroke/fill with the lettering he has merely typed it large in black, then layered smaller white text on top of that. That's what happens when you force yourself to forget everything you know about computers.

Still, shame on Ray for doing that to Beef. Shame on him.

You are such a nerd.

chubbied for fucking truth

Guys, this is in no way news to me, but I have come to terms with it so it's all okay.

That's all right dude-- we all are-- I just felt the need to share my visceral reaction to your statement that's all

Ya'll some nerds.

Correct. I wanna cum.

Ray is trying to take back his internet destiny from the time he was up on Drudge Report as the blubbering cat.

The final panels of this strip show the exact sort of shame that people involved with cat macros on any level should feel about it.

Wouldn't cats make lolhumans?

This strip kind of made me feel like crying

tasting ur brocley

The best part about this is that the lolcats in this and the next couple strips would totally be a hit somewhere like icanhascheezburger.com

Oh the humanity.

The end of this comic reminds me of a sad mime.

I assume you mean a mime that is acting sad, because if your referring to their actual feelings or state of being, they are always sad, and there would have been no need to specify.

Story of my life.

I was Beef in this, my roomate was playing WoW and I was asking too many questions during a raid. He died, I laughed, he yelled.

I guess it isn't that similar.

The Unending shame of LOL CATZ!

The sad fact is the average Lolcat image does not contain a tenth of the wit evident in the word "brocley" alone.
