That is exactly how annoyed he looks.

Ray is so furious about his bad RV.

But now again!

And it's gone

Aand it is back-- Seriously, these avatars are great for this.

Somebody needed to go there. Why not you?

To be fair, while you're right about "non-sequitur," "non-sequiter" may actually point you to what he's talking about.

It is a non-sequitor from Ray's perspective. I don't think he meant it from the perspective of the comics reader.

There's....fish that do that???

hehe. junk dipper.

Yeah, I'm still pissing at a flat-out run if I ever find myself in the Amazon. Try to swim up that, mythological fish! Ha

They can climb a stream of urine. And you know that's a dream that everyone's had.

...Peeing in the Amazon, rather than climbing a stream of urine.

I think they only do it if you pee while in the water. For some reason they like to swim up a warm stream.

And before that...

Apparently I can't lame myself. Which is too bad.

pesacda dentata.

Pretty much every muscle below my waist tensed up when I look at this picture.

That looks...a lot bigger than I had imagined. Although I don't suppose that any sized toothsome fish in your urethra would be a treat - even a little elderly one who's teeth have fallen out, all gumming its way up the pipes.

Chubbied for "toothsome"

Vandellia cirrhosa. Usually lives in a Pacu's gills.

I actually know people who keep them as pets. I... I think I live in Hell.

goddamn this fish. goddamn him.

You fail to realize that this is entirely the point.

Yeah, that was my immediate reaction, too. Luckily, it doesn't take away from this strip.

I agree with DJ Whiterabbit on this issue, though really, who knows.

I imagine it as

"Seriously? Seriously?"

The way I see it, Ray's look in that panel can be summed up with one word: "Huh."

he is so pissed

this strip got me reading too, except it was "lost his jack-off virginity in the bathroom at Comic-Con.

That burn in that panel made me wince so hard I think I hurt myself.

i wonder who would intentionally buy an RV that's always raining inside...that would make for a very depressing getaway.

Well, he probably regarded the situation as how regular weather works, and assumed that it wouldn't always be raining. And Ray bein' Ray, of course, it didn't strike him as abnormal for it to sometimes rain in an RV.

Ouch. Lamepocalypse.

Incidentally, do you go to NYU or is that an acronym for something else in this case?

I said so above, but I'll say it again: yes

Jesus, he is hung.

Lyle's..what was Lyle's man? I don't even know myself.

I wish I could chubby your comment x5. Well put.

Much effort clearly went into this comment, and it is richly rewarding to read. If there were such a thing as a Super Chubby I would lay one out for this.

Sexbot or music fan?

Thank you for using the word pneumatic to describe a lady. It is a good thing.

he was in one of 'em of beef

ah, lamented is the loss of iris gambol.

Mr. Bear's picture was the only one unaffected by the Magical Realism Camera from Mexico.

Mr. Bear is Mr. Bear, ain't no gettin' 'round that sir.

Really, the only thing Mr Bear is lacking in life is the money to live up to the fineness of his own character.

FUCK YES

I love this strip, just for the really annoyed look on Ray's face.

And also for the look on T's face when Ray says he looks like a blowjob from banana republic ads.

i e-mailed chris to tell him that this one made me laugh, that's how much i love it.

Dude, all chaps are assless. Chaps with asses are called "pants".

True, but the flow and flavor of the term 'assless chaps' makes it an essential addition to any homoerotic joke.

Say it. Say it in your mouth. It tastes good. Assless chaps.

by the way...

do you like fish-sticks?

Chubbied for "say it in your mouth." And for noticing phonetic awesomeness.

This was my first achewood ever

i like how you said basically the same thing, but you got hell of chubbies for the slangy one.
chubby for you sir.

This is basically the same as if he had posted in another language and then corrected this by putting it back into the local tongue.

Basically.

The cat is unhappy about his new RV.

I'm surprised there's so much talk about the raining RV. It is sweet for sure, but personally the picture of Pat hit me harder. So classic. Definitely a 5.

Alt Text: No true comics fan waits until Comic-Con

yeah.

Most definitely. I seem to remember one that led to an unusual factoid about the Pope's Hat...

I find that many of those links are intact if you view the strip from the main page. Enter the url for the date as achewood.com/index.php?date=mmddyyyy, since the archive now leads to the Acheworld/assetbar pages.

I used to find the phrase "rock hard cat cock" to be particularly insipid, until I realized it was frickin' Onstad who came up with it in the first place. That guy could give anything class.

You just love Onstad, and, by extension, you will automatically love anything that he produces.

The man could conquer the world if there were enough of us. That'd be an interesting day.

i totally felt awesome for having read The People of Paper by Salvador Plascencia just before this arch came about.

i know, i had just finished a huge gabriel garcia marquez bender when this strip showed up. i almost choked on my glee (also cheerios).

dang I'm right in the middle of 100 Years of Solitude

someone chubby this because I can't

Done.

The alternate name for this strip should have been The Autumn of the Pat-riarch.

I would chubby you if I could, but I can't so instead I shall post this:
-=i want to lick that pun=-

You have induced another type of chubby by other means. Congratulations.

nice.

That picture of Pat is easily the most famous pic from this site.

I have used Achewood to explain magic realism to so many of my non-English student friends. It is a lot quicker than getting them to read 100 Years of Solitude or some such (awesome as that book is).

I realized something watching my Futurama DVD collection. Bender the robot was made in Mexico. Bender is a Mexican magical robot. It explains so much.

Pat is murdering that meat with his massive dick.

hey I remember that when this strip first came out (heh) it had the boner, assless chaps & meat pat for the final panel and then for a brief period of time the panel was changed to something less gay

does anyone else recall this/remember what the last panel was or did I just make this up in my mind

Yeah, Onstad had second thoughts and removed the massive cat dong, only to receive a flurry of e-mails demanding to have it back. Apparently the internet is crazy for cat schlong. The whole thing is described in more detail in Chris's blog

Pat is gay for the meat.

My camera shows me as a member of Loverboy.

dude, sagoons are everywhere i'd be careful

I'm curious about the friend who ended up with the RV.

Don't worry about it. Ray doesn't know him anymore.

This one almost got me in trouble at work. Of course, having "bitches gotta take their cunt pills" laying around, xeroxed at 120%to fill the page wasn't helping matters.

It's educational material!

Well it was a Dickens of a chuckle indeed.

I love the way that Ray is so 'seen it' about the whole thing, tossin the photos away like it's just another tedious life-niggle to have an unexpectedly magic camera.

I made the mistake of talking about this arc with a few friends who were discussing Pedro Paramo by Juan Rulfo. I knew they probably wouldn't understand the RV that rains on the inside, but the Mexican magical realism cell phone I knew would be a winner.

I was wrong. I was horribly wrong. Don't go blurting Achewood goodness to those who don't deserve it.

Also: Do you think Pat's Guy is erect or just swingin' all insane-like?

Your friends are assholes.

five'd for the rv.

Sixth panel is pure gold: Teodor looking all affronted at what Ray's saying, Beef just looking sad and resigned.

Is Ray's "Goon" comment in panel 6 a reference to SomethingAwful? I think Onstad visited the forums there once (and was scared off by all the creepy interest in his daughter).

Also: What do you think; are Fedoras a thing of internet people? Onstand seems to think so. Me, I don't know.

Am I missing something with all this "goon" speculation? You know it's an actual word from before the internet, right?

Ray looks abosolutely flustered in this, it brings me great joy.
I imagine him saying several times: Fuck this indoor weather, I paid good money for it to not rain indoors.

woah. mystical mexican Pat dong

I personally find it a shame that the fedora has gotten such a bad pull. Someone ought to take it back.

Also, what the hell was Pat doing? What would the picture look like without the Magic Realism Filter?

Fedoras look fine on anyone over the age of 40 and absolutely un-fucking-bearable on anyone under that age. You just have to live long enough to earn some styles. This is a good thing.

Look at those emasculated sausages! Dude is kept - not as if you couldn't surmise that just from the outfit.

I re-iterate my claim that you seem to know the worst stuff on the internet, eatmorekix. Not the "shocking" crap like manflesh posted, but just the more benign stuff that makes a guy lament the stupidty of humanity writ large. And you always have something for every occassion.

I hope this didn't happen in europe.

Shameful lack of chubbs here, people. Pony up.

It might just be the rain, but does Ray look.. thin.. in the RV?

It is a flashback...

Who the hell 4'd this strip!?!

I'm amused by Teodor's expression in Panel 6. Apparently, he doesn't want to be a blowjob from Banana Republic ads.

The RV panel was the panel that made me TRULY appreciate Achewood. Before then, I'd just viewed it as a quirky, funny comic that I'd occasionally do random clicks on. That panel made me decide to read the whole archives.

The RV rain reminds me of a certain Mexican magical realism story, Chac Mool where a dude's house keeps raining because of a statue he bought. Here's the story in case anyone is interested:
http://web.mit.edu/jikatz/www/ChacMool.pdf

I was just awoken a 4am to discover that my new (used) RV is in fact a mexican magical one (actually the vent in the bedroom just blew off and suddenly everything in my bedroom was soaking wet from a driving rain but that was my first thought: to curse onstad for ever inventing the mexican magical RV)

Beef muscle meat can be ged exam cut into steak, roasts or short ribs. Some cuts are processed (corned beef or beef jerky), and trimmings, usually mixed with meat from older, leaner cattle, are ground, minced or used in sausages. The blood is used in some varieties of blood sausage. Other parts that are eaten include the gmat exam
oxtail, tongue, tripe from the reticulum or rumen, gland (particularly the pancreas and thymus) referred to as sweetbread, the heart, the brain (although forbidden where there is a gre exam danger of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, BSE), the liver, the kidneys, and the tender testicles of the bull (known in the US as calf fries, prairie oysters, or Rocky Mountain oysters). Some intestines are eaten as-is, but are used more often as natural sausage casings. The lungs and the udder are considered unfit for human consumption in the isee exam US. Beef bones are used for making beef stock.
