I grudgingly second this, due to a sleepless semester freshman year of college. Lines from Old School loudly quoted at 3 am are not nearly as funny as my neighbors thought they were.

Less than three your avatar...worst children's book ever.
hassanoleary » neu 2 years ago
Thanks! I was worried it would be too detailed for its size and just look unrecognizable.
slab64 » neu 2 years ago
Well, it's definitely not the easiest to make out. It is within the realm of magic eye pictures and whatnot.

Oh, it's that incredible horse book! I get that! I get pictures!
kelsotimebomb » neu 1 years ago
I don't know what book that is. But from here, it resembles a horse drinking beer.

AWESOME.
odei » neu 1 years ago
I think there was a thread on Something Awful about it, it's basically a children's book by a batshit insane person that warns children of the dangers of drugs and peer pressure via teenage horses.
kelsotimebomb » neu 1 years ago
Huh I really need to get a damn forum account over there, since I've been reading the articles and stuff for a few years.

I remember way back in small times (the times of D.A.R.E.) there was a book that used a brightly colored hat as a metaphor for pot. Even then it made me "lol wat?"

oh no! his eyes closed in transit!

There is no technology to guard against this.

i like how ray bought the top 3 things from ePR, assuming that is the laser in the box marked 3'. that's gotta be around 27 mil with shipping.
mrmacky » neu 2 years ago
How could he not?
professorhazard » neu 1 years ago
I think those were the ONLY three things on eBay Platinum Reserve.

Which explains why when you type in "whats the best thing you got," nothing shows up.
handsome » pro 2 years ago
i really liked this story arc.
chrissketch » neu 2 years ago
The arc originally felt underwhelming since we had just gotten the finale of the Great Outdoor Fight. But there are some mighty fine moments in these installments. I found myself panicked when the last comic went back to Ray. I was afraid that Phillipe floating helplessly in a Coors ice chest would be left unresolved.
toast » pro 2 years ago
I rated it a 5 mostly for the dialogue between Ray and T in the first four panels, which is simply brilliant.
geesycreesy » neu 2 years ago
And I gave it a 5 beacause Ray's secret eBay consumerism is hilariously merciless.
farqussus » neu 2 years ago
he didn't want the giant laser though. That's just ridiculous. No practical application.
farqussus » neu 2 years ago
never mind, i see it.
stuntman » neu 5 months ago
of course, no need for practical application.
le_chien_manquee » con 2 years ago
jeezo. ray's in airwolf, man. how can that not be worth a five
ttagxamm » neu 2 years ago
Indeed, the presence of Airwolf makes the strip utterly Airwolf
jollysaintpete » neu 1 years ago
what do you mean, the joke has already been told? we saw the items for sale before, now we see ray bought them. different joke
heccibiggs » neu 1 years ago
I like the way Hexjumper got thirteen lames, not even for saying that he didn't like the strip, but purely for saying that it wasn't one of the best ever. Come on, guys. Allow for a little difference of opinion?
joeynarcotic » neu 1 years ago
Why?
norsef » neu 1 years ago
Because Peer pressure is why I'm too scared to say that I didn't much care for the GOF.
I'm afraid you'd follow me to my car.
panamajack » neu 9 months ago
The fact that Keith Moon's eyes have closed in transit.
scorpio_nadir » neu 7 months ago
Fact: Keith Moon was afraid of flying.
cuddlefish » neu 2 years ago
durhh. cause it's a funny wrapper.
hollis » neu 2 years ago
Ray, though he may be a spoiled rich kid at heart, is also a good guy at the core. He buys a new toy and the first thing he wants to do is see if there's anything he can do to help his guys. Yes.
ghostd » pro 2 years ago
Well, if you had just purchased Airwolf, wouldn't you jump at the opportunity to save someone by using Airwolf?
hollis » neu 2 years ago
Oh most definitely.
rapid_roy » pro 2 years ago
Ray's explanation in the 5th panel is the best writing ever. Also, the last panel.
stoned_lightning » neu 2 years ago
I've used the whole 'nothing I could say' part a few times since.
bourbonsamurai » neu 2 years ago
5th panel seals this as one of my all-time faves.
centipede_damascus » pro 2 years ago
Did David Hasselhoff ever pilot Air Wolf? He should have.
senseihollywood » neu 2 years ago
I guess Keith's eyes did actually close in transit...shame there isn't any technology to prevent this
charchar » con 1 years ago
[IMGS OFF]
Funeral directors use these to keep the embalmee's eyes closed. They are inserted under the lid. I guess is the opposite effect, but a good way to creep out strangers on the internet.

My feelings on the spikes are con.
charchar » neu 1 years ago
Also, the picture, she does not show.

[IMGS OFF]
mattylite » neu 1 years ago
Nooooooo!
heccibiggs » neu 1 years ago
charchar, I'm kind of suppressing the urge to lame you. Obviously I do not think you are lame, but those eyeball spike things are the very definition of Terrible.
smallberries » neu 7 months ago
The things/places/people I unintentionally learn in these forums. Sobriquet Rouge? Check. P.G. Wodehouse? Check. Harlequin Ichythiosis? Check. Lorelei? Check. Now this...
sherwood » pro 2 years ago
The belligerence of Ray's refusal to elaborate on the backstory behind his purchase of Airwolf is telling. Ray wants his friends to see the world as he does -- but he doesn't need them to.
o2b » neu 2 years ago
Actually, he's saying that despite changing his eBay user name after getting ripped off by Little Nephew, Ray has gotten ripped off again.
crumbskull » neu 2 years ago
E-bay platinum reserve must ship all its products [i}in[/i] Airwolf. Also is it really safe to pilot a helicopter stoned?
straw » neu 2 years ago
It is when it's Airwolf
eric » pro 2 years ago
I rated this a five simply for what ray says in panel seven. I did not watch that film in sixth grade. Instead I got the "sex educations".
jesler729 » neu 2 years ago
Panel... eight?
unfun » neu 2 years ago
Nah, he meant panel 7. "Awesome. Where are you?" All-time classic line.
jesler729 » neu 2 years ago
Ray thinks it is awesome that Teodor has a pretty bad problem.
stuart » neu 2 years ago
Because it means he can help his guys.
tekende » neu 1 years ago
I help my guys all the time if you know what I mean hur hur
tekende » neu 1 years ago
(I'm pretty sure that by "guys" I meant my balls, I was not trying to imply that I give my male friends sexual relief)
jackparsons » neu 2 years ago
Film-strip. With a beep to tell the teacher to click to the next slide.
dinosaur-j » pro 2 years ago
Alt Text: All eBay Platinum Reserve items ship Same-Day Airwolf
andyk » con 2 years ago
keith moon, drummer for the who... total drunkard... totally awesome.
semiquaver » neu 2 years ago
Yes.

Everyone who lames this missed the pun.
saint » neu 2 years ago
toooooooooommmmy.
where are you going tommmmmmmmmy?
morganization » neu 2 years ago
any strip with "Soon." promises to be a good one
patkun » neu 2 years ago
is ray still stoned? That would explain his strange phrasing...
gompo » neu 2 years ago
He doesn't seem to have the "stoned lines" under his eyes. Besides, Ray always talks like that.
stephen » neu 2 years ago
Frames 4 and 5 make me laugh every time I read them and I love how Teodor just gives up in frame 6. I get the impression that he ends up in a lot of conversations like this with Ray.
heavymetaljesus » pro 2 years ago
Don't act like you don't know that Airwolf is faster than any jet. Man, Ray means business when he's stoned.
wae » pro 2 years ago
nothing could possibly make more sense.
dicklaurent » neu 2 years ago
Having Airwolf is the number one excuse for getting up early.
cailetshadow » pro 2 years ago
When you pack into a box a laser that fires a 3' wide beam, you stare at that blank box for quite some time before you realize...the only thing you need to write--the only thing you CAN write--is 3'.
clintisiceman » neu 2 years ago
I think Ray was duped. Sir Keith the Rude was cremated.
semiquaver » neu 2 years ago
And Airwolf crashed, and the laser doesn't exist. Yes, three awesome but nonexistent things. It was deliberate.
stormagnet » neu 2 years ago
Dude. COVERUP. Duh.
luckypyjamas » pro 2 years ago
the first five panels are possibly one of the funniest things that exist
ringwoodcomics » pro 2 years ago
Panels 4 and 5 are pure Comedic Extract. I laughed so hard I almost choked to death.
saru » pro 2 years ago
The people noting Airwolf's demise and the nature of Keith Moon's disposal aren't realizing exactly how far the rabbit hole goes when it comes to eBay Platinum Reserve.
You only think they're gone. The board of directors has realized that the more discerning consumer doesn't even want to be one of the few who own something, or even the only one owning something. The truly special want something that nobody should be able to own at all.
Next look for unicorn heart, hen's teeth, and a plot of land on the mysterious planet X, Earth's doppel-planet hidden on the other side of the sun.
geozimmdrake » pro 2 years ago
Keith Moon's eyes closed in transit. there was no technology to prevent this.
c_dizzle » pro 2 years ago
I'm assuming the box with a 3' is alluding to the laser that is 3 feet in diameter. What a strange characteristic to use as the only packaging label.
mikestan » neu 2 years ago
I like how he has the 3' laser next to Keith Moon's head.
vermy » neu 2 years ago
Keith looks so... at peace for someone who died the way he did
prufrock » neu 2 years ago
Keith Moon's eyes closed in transit.

There is no technology to prevent this.
mulisha7 » pro 1 years ago
The dialogue in panels 3-6 is my absolute favorite exchange in any Achewood strip.

"I have Airwolf. This is not code."
professorhazard » neu 1 years ago
Keith Moon's eyes closed d-

oh
stubob » pro 1 years ago
My god I laughed so hard at that last panel... The concerned/confused peek into the back seat...
envika » neu 1 years ago
how about teodor's expression in the third-to-last panel!
mattylite » neu 1 years ago
You guys, I have something amazing to tell you. Last night I saw a documentary about a guy who FUCKING FUCKED AIRWOLF. Nothing else I could say would make more sense given this guy's sexuality and his one-time access to Airwolf.
jaldor » neu 11 months ago
Ray is stoned and has been up all night. If he were flying a lesser aircraft I would be worried but I'm sure Airwolf has some autopilot features designed for this exact problem.
sock » pro 7 months ago
Fifth panel makes this one for me, ''Nothing could make more sense given what I own and what I am doing at this moment'' is one of the most awesome responses to incomprehension I've ever seen. I'll need to start using it.

Here we have an example of the little-known literary device "Deus Ex Airwolfa"
puguglypress » neu 6 months ago
"Yes, I have a problem. A pretty bad problem, actually." "Awesome. Where are you?"
zorbo » pro 3 months ago
Jan Michael Vincent gave Ray brief helicopter lessons.
