panels 4 and 9 are truly great. truly

admitting you have a problem is the first step.

A couple of my uncles do.

Go ahead and skip a day. Don't want you going into stage one renal failure.

Or diabetes!

I always teach my chemistry classes using metaphors. Works wonders.

Indeed. I always teach the dumber students in my biology class using metaphors so that they don't beat me up. Also, my age. An Internet Lie.

Wow. You're not very good at internet lying, apparently.

I realized that it is completely a piece of shit thing to pretend to be an adult. If people find my opinions valid, I trust them to be mature enough to judge me on them rather than how I old I am.

I'd completely forgotten about Jaime the Science Friend.

I love this strip so much. Ray is reluctant, but ready to admit that he doesn't understand the fancy science talk. And Beef is there for him with a simple answer. Ah, friendship.

I once explained to my Ex-Wife exactly how and why people don't inbreed (the genetics of it) in terms of coloured cookies.

Seems Beef isn't the only one with a knack for explaining science to the science-impaired.
But wouldn't anyone who understood it find a way to explain to a friend who didn't?

Man why is Ray trying to fix or figure out his printer in the dark? Did he shut off the power to the entire house to avoid the risk of electrocution because it's easier to walk up and trip a breaker than to crawl around and unplug the printer?

Because you can only see lasers in the dark.

Heh! Idiot.

This is probably my favorite story arch, and I am not sure why.

KAPOW!

That would have been one hell of a burn if it had made any sense.

It's hard to find a way to point out other people's mistakes without looking like a douche

Wait. Socks stick to Ray? What the hell have I been doing wrong, that socks do not stick to me.

Sciencia dammit.

Ray. The man who gets things done.

Seriously though. Textbook.

I used to watch Bill Nye, the Science Guy in Spanish. It's called Bill el Cientifico. I don't even speak Spanish.

ray is in the dark when it comes to laser printers

this comment owns!

i guess rowboat made the same pun just before so to be fair i'm giving him a chubby too but i'm not going to enjoy it

Another good example of "RAY SMUCKLES: HE GETS THINGS DONE!"

Panel four: COMPLETE BLANKNESS

I love that Ray holds power over the Gallup organization to "run a little poll." Dude has connections.

Nobody cares, but I was just drivin' around today, and realized that I didn't know exactly how a laser printer worked (ain't no laser beams in there, FOOL!), and was going to read up on it online tonight. As always, the answers to all of life's questions can be found in Achewood.

Achewood: better than Google.

Probably not
