After the search function came on the site, I went looking for "kettle" just to know exactly how much water Mr. Bear recommends storing in the kettle. Now my kettles are residue free. Thank you Achewood.

but but that's dangerous! mosquitos lay eggs on still water!

you should probably not have many mosquitoes inside your home.

No you shouldn't; it could create problems in the community!

"Put butter on what I said!" is one of those Achewood phrases that you would love to use at some point in your life, but you know you probably never will. At least not in the right context and with the same effect.
digdugz » neu2 years ago
I notice a ton of those motherfuckers in conversations between Ray and Beef.

Another would be "The HELL I just walked home from Mexico!" I have half a mind to drive to Mexico and walk home simply so I can say that line.
lizjones » pro2 years ago
It's just like when Ramses Luther says "I just beat the asses of three thousand men. The hell you leave me alone."
boredom_man » neu1 years ago
Me too. I live in El Paso.
evilbobikus » neu9 months ago
I've walked home from Mexico and have been able to use this line. I passed out before I could even think of butter though.

i got to take Ray's line in panel 6 for a walk at Applebee's the other day. didn't compare at all

"I, like, say this all the time with my friends now."

I wasn't all that into the Lonis F. Edison arc, but this strip ended it on a perfect note.

No player should ever be seen in a loose thong. That shit ain't jazz.
rogergs » neu2 years ago
Ray was reduced to tying fetching bows in the side strings to reduce its circumference. Such attention to detail is why I love Achewood -- Method cartooning, complete empathy with the travails of a rapidly slimming Speedo-wearing cat in the Mexican desert.

Fuck you, diabetes.

I have felt fractions of the way Ray feels at times. 4/5, very awesome.
hexjumper » neu2 years ago
This is another example of Ray's character in a nutshell: Not only does he walk across a desert by himself rather than ride home with a rival, he refuses to get his own money from his friends because he doesn't want to leave a bad impression on somebody that he'll never meet again.
I mean, just the way that he stands in the fourth panel - he's emaciated, ragged, and dirty, but still barking orders for his friends to serve him food, with butter.

Yeah, this is not my favorite arc, but "somebody cook me some damn Emeril food!" is worth its weight in gold.

Chubbies for all three of you!
_cheesekayke » neu1 years ago
Whenever anyone says "This is my favorite strip," I'm always like, "How the hell can you pick a favorite? I can hardly pick my Top 10!"
But reading through the archives a second time on AssetBar, I have come to realize that this is definitely my favorite strip, and it deserves so much higher than a 4.6.

Spider bite getting tennis lessons?
Only achewood can inspire such thoughts.
heccibiggs » pro1 years ago
That line clinched this comic as a five for me. The sheer absurdity of it.
spinynorman » neu1 years ago
Cornelius really deserves the Badass award if he's capable of delivering that stiff-upper-lip bringdown on Ray in the last panel, even under such alarming circumstances.
jdhenry105 » neu1 years ago
Why are his knees bloody? Dear me why are his knees bloody?
paco » neu1 years ago
I believe it would be because during his ordeal in Mexico, someone took a fancy to "busting some caps" in his knees.
soticoto » neu1 years ago
More like he beat an entire gang of Hell's Angels to death with his knees.
selbencoirlo » neu2 months ago
Or maybe he FELL, goddammit. Is occam's razor gonna have to cut a bitch?
Though to be fair I don't think occam's razor applies in achewood.
wozzeck » neu1 months ago
In Achewood it is Lonis's Razor: The simplest explanation for a phenomenon is most likely Mexican Magical Realism.
mountaindewtab » neu1 years ago
holy shit
steerpike66 » neu1 years ago
There is some solid-GOLD dialog in this one. Anger and famine really whets Ray's repartee.

The cats days of having to find a doubles partner at the last minute have come to an end.

Panels 3-9 are hilarious, character-driven comedy gold.
Panels 1-2 are an important PSA. Because of them, my kettles are free of ambient grease and dust!
See, this is one reason why I love Achewood. I laugh, I learn.
wittyname » pro1 years ago
Just panel 4 is what made it a 5.

"Why didn't you wire for help?"
*insert cliched line about Connie's old-school bad-assery*
saru » pro1 years ago
I'm really joining the chorus on this one, such as preaching to the choir, and other aphorisms of all that sort.
But damn this is an awesome strip. It doesn't let up. "Cook me up some Emeril food," "The Hell I just walked home from Mexico," The kettle PSA, the cow sized steak sandwich, lasagna stuffed turkey with butter on it, spider bite taking tennis lessons, jeez, is so good.
nigelchaos » pro1 years ago
Ray in Panel four made me laugh out loud. He looks like death kept in a fridge for a week, growing some weird fungal spots and then microwaved for like, a week.
spicyponyhead » neu3 months ago
And then once it was in there, you'd be like "That'll do, pig."
chachibenji » neu1 years ago
WHERES THE BUTTER, PUT BUTTER ON WHAT I SAID.
Awesome.
Walking home from Mexico will really make you reconsider if you want to open a bar called Sit Down Fat Dog.
mulisha7 » pro1 years ago
"Four damn leg holes in the bun! Just walk it to the table and shoot it!" Awesome. Even though he seems to be describing a pig instead of a cow.
wartooth » pro11 months ago
that line is so zaphod beeblebrox at the restaurant at the end of the universe. let me meet my meat!

And, in the BBC mini-series, his meat ending up being a wonderful cameo by Peter Davison, also known as the Fifth Doctor.

This strip.
boswelljn » neu1 years ago
I love this strip.
I wanted to do something more than just Five it, so I created an account and made the above comment so that I could chubby the strip as well.
Is "fubbied" better than "chived"?
echidnaboy » pro11 months ago
I wish I could Fubby your resourcefulness. Here, have a chubby and a Pro. Think of it as a Prubby or a Cho[chacho?]
jonmw » neu1 years ago
Yet another sign that Ray gravitated to the main character of the strip. He's apparently gone for weeks, and yet we have just one strip of what happens among the other characters in Ray's absence.
mashisoyo » neu4 months ago
Nah - there were others. Puking in a dishwasher, etc.
fireking » pro11 months ago
Whenever I walk into somewhere I have not been for some time, I always announce "The HELL I just walked home from Mexico" in an annoyed, albeit slightly proud voice.
red-barchetta » neu11 months ago
THIS is one of the best. Ever.
lolsworth » neu1 months ago
Everything Ray says in this strip is the best dialogue ever written.
