He shouldn't have yelled at him. He shouldn't have yelled at his friend. Not about this.

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.

Also I mean come on like Ray would eat that broccoli.

He's not eating it, he's just -tasting- it. Tasting it leaves it still quite edible in a practical sense, but no one wants to because you've slobbered all over it.

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

The Alt text is what made this a five for me.

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 until it appears

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.

there is shame in all things internet

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

I hear Moonlight Sonata.

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

It might just be the newness of it blinding me, but Best. Strip. Ever.

HEAR HEAR.

I'd like to know if all the lames on this comment of mine are because of the word "srsly".
I would like to know that.

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.

well, there is a lovely website called I Can Has Cheezburger featuring a wide variety of images of cats with captions. These captions have poor spelling and grammar, and generally reference "I'm in ur base, killin ur doods" or other currently popular internet/gaming phrases.

correct answer: 4chan, like two years ago.

But the point is that beef catches Ray liking a dumb website and Ray gets defensive.

You're stupid! You shouldn't even care!

*cries*

damn straight. *snuffle*

Damn....I have a guilty appreciation for that site AND I sport the bloatee. If this weren't one of the best comics in the world, I'd punch it. Then cry. (here's me bracing myself for hell of lames all cowering in the corner all whimpering)

YES

Interestingly, this is also the answer to a lot of other questions.

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

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

So this is how they're made.

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

so it WAS the cats posting pictures of themselves all along.

Some of them really don't have any self respect do they?

yeah. especially MAH PEEZA IS MOLTO BENNY.

The saddest thing is that Ray doesn't have the Photoshop skills to have done this by himself. Elsewhere, Teodor counts his money and chuckles.

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.

yeah i mean if he can make a motorcycle drive over mt. everest he can do pretty much anything.

It was a real "holy shit" moment when, five minutes after reading this and finding it awesome, I remembered that these characters are cats.

And one of them is wearing glasses, no less.

Lolcats are demeaning to cats everywhere. Roast Beef is shocked to see his friend doing something so low. But not as shocked as he'll be when Ray is chased by a Domo-Kun.

yeah it took a while but the punchline is that Ray is a cat

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.

im replyn to ur post

givn it chubbyz

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

Ray realizes he might have temporarily become one of Beef's Circumstances.

The worst part of this is that Ray is too shitty at apologizing to smooth this over.

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.

This is basically the cat equivalent of Suicide Girls. Roast Beef caught Ray whoring his ass out. Ray couldn't have been more ashamed if he'd been caught exposing his lack of harbls.

Suicide Girls is ridiculous; all talkin' about challenging standards of beauty by posting hot chicks with tattoos SO EDGY.

maybe i am just bitter.

but maybe i am also right.

the most heartbreaking part is that beef doesn't look sad because ray yelled at him, he looks sad because he is thinking ray is right and he is actually stupid.

beef is sad because he has unknowingly wronged a friend.

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.

Or Ray is upset about the comment he left at AssetBar

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.

i'm not even sure what a font is.

That is hilarious.

It's unclear to me how leaving the house will help you learn about fonts.

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.

The look on his face in the picture, though... My dear God.

He is an entity of spite and spite alone in that moment. He knows that licking that broccoli will hurt you badly, and he's doing it anyway while looking right at you. He probably held it up right in front of his face for a full thirty seconds before that picture, moving it closer and closer to his tongue, all the while only inches from you, never losing eye contact.

I don't know what his other hand is doing. I don't intend to.

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.

JESUS RAY, PHILLIPE IS GETTING MORE HOOTCHIE-MAMAS THAN YOU LATELY. Love, I Cry Myself To Sleep, Nebraska

Ray cries in total private.

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

Lolcatz are the Internet's answer to The Family Circus.

"Macros are my guilty pleasure."

Macross is my guilty pleasure.

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.
