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.

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.

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.

It's just like when Ramses Luther says "I just beat the asses of three thousand men. The hell you leave me alone."

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 » neu1 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.

I have felt fractions of the way Ray feels at times. 4/5, very awesome.
hexjumper » neu1 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.

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 » pro7 months ago
That line clinched this comic as a five for me. The sheer absurdity of it.
spinynorman » neu11 months 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 » neu10 months ago
Why are his knees bloody? Dear me why are his knees bloody?
paco » neu9 months ago
I believe it would be because during his ordeal in Mexico, someone took a fancy to "busting some caps" in his knees.
soticoto » neu7 months ago
More like he beat an entire gang of Hell's Angels to death with his knees.
mountaindewtab » neu10 months ago
holy shit
steerpike66 » neu10 months ago
There is some solid-GOLD dialog in this one. Anger and famine really whets Ray's repartee.

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.

Just panel 4 is what made it a 5.

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 » pro7 months 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.
soticoto » neu7 months ago
Ray makes me hunger for a pig in a bun.
I wouldn't bother with the gun. I'd just be like "Pig! Get in mah belleh!"
chachibenji » neu5 months ago
WHERES THE BUTTER, PUT BUTTER ON WHAT I SAID.
Awesome.
"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.

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 » pro2 weeks 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 months 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.
fireking » pro4 weeks 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.
