This is one of my favorite Ray strips. It is not often that Ray gets to sass so effectively. It is good to see him sass.

Nevermind favorite Ray strips, this is my favorite Ray story arc. He's just pure unadultered awesomeness throughout. From "Hooray man!" to getting kinda stoned to randomly finding 50 dollars. And this strip's closing line is so perfect.

True friends make you a Bloody Mary bong the morning after

ah, friendship indeed.

[IMGS OFF]

Lyle's stomach is a black hole.

The other side of which us that jug.

This comment made absolutely no sense to me until I realized that the "us" should be an "is". It was like this mini-mystery that had kind of a lame outcome. But I will still chubby this because it made me think.

yes. I love this strip. precious Ray moments.

NEW DAY! NEW...DAAAY!

In Canada, we do Ceasar bongs the morning after.
Its almost the same as Bloody Mary bongs, but with 100% more clam juice.

Ewwww

No we don't.

In Communist Russia, Caesar Bongs do you.
... Or at least in the Siberian parts closest to Canada.

Yakov Smirnoff said it....

No he didn't.

But there's no clam juice in Bloody Marys?
Or was that the joke.

There was a joke?

I take it you have not heard of Clamato oh the masochistic things people will do

i love the caesars!

High five!

both of you are effing gross.

I say what Ray says in the last panel sometimes and it makes people think Im clever.

If I was Norman Rockwell, these are the every day scenes that I would paint.

Ray always wears a partially zipped jacket while sipping a martini and talking on the phone.

I think it came with the cell phone. That may be the only reason he bought the cell phone in the first place.

Designer fashion as an accessory to a cellphone. The Apocalypse is coming and it looks fabulous.

chubbied for the latter half of your comment.

Ah, friendship.

I laughed for a day straight after I read this one. I have adopted "NEW DAY! NEW...DAAAY" for waking people up.

This is true friendship. My friends wouldn't do this kind of thing, they'd just kick you in the nuts while cheerfully bellowing "Ey! Fuckface!"

good sass

Ugh, I hate Bloody Maries. Poor Lyle.

I was going to rail on you for not digging the Marys, but you're 16, it's fine, you'll come round one day. There's no rush.

At the risk of being unpopular, I too hate bloody marys. It's like drinking cold soup, people.

like gazpacho. with booze. its a good thing.

Nonsense!

Pure punchline action!

"Not too much CD's got stolen"

using that after my next party.

I like that the alt text tells you what car Norman Rockwell drives (however anachronistically) so that you can picture it perfectly.

This is the sort of strip that makes me say "God bless America" out loud no matter where I am

Leyendecker already painted this scene prior to Rockwell's dominance of the Post. Then again, moments like this are archetypal as regards the visual American idiom, so Normy coulda pulled it off, no prob.

Leyendecker is the fucking MAN

This is almost a dream come true for Lyle.

If only they'd thought to make it a Red Snapper!

Lyle has drunk so much alcohol in his time that the substance has gone past damaging his liver and actually come back around as the substance which keeps him functioning.

Few things will bring you back to life as pleasantly as a Bloody Mary.

the whole "blood in the alcohol stream" dealie....

Zombie Rockwell's in the process of digging his easel out of his grave right now.

My dad had a 1996 Mitsubishi Montero. It kicked hella ass. I can understand why Norman Rockwell would want to drive the 2005 Mitsubishi Montero perhaps in his town or just generally around.

Today's Blogs

Pat: Nice Pete's physical recovery technique. Jury's out.

What a way with the English language.
-much instead of many
-mary instead of ~~marys~~ ~~maries~~ ~~mary's~~
It makes it seem like there is some stuff, some stuff called CDs, and also some stuff called bloody mary, and you can steal some of that stuff or get a bottle of that stuff. Like it is a homogenous stuff you can take any percent of instead of the individual, whole-numbered discs and drinks we usually talk about. Also, it is awesome.

...What?

Huh. "mattylite gets sort of stoned," I guess.

My brain just melted.

You could have said "Onstad turns 'CDs' into a non-count noun" for the exact same effect.

[IMGS OFF]

What the hell is this?

And you live your life with arms stretched out
Eye to eye when speaking
Enter rooms with great joy shouts
happy to be meeting

That...that leer! It's all over the painting!

Is....is it possible Art Frahm and Norman Rockwell were one and the same?

[IMGS OFF]

Where's that draft coming from?

The elevator shaft!

Lyle's eyes are so funny.

Also, hrgh!

I never considered having a turkey drumstick at 6 in the morning before, but boy it sure does sound hell of delicious.

Please ignore this epic assetbar failure on my part. Nothing to see here, move along.

IGNORE ME!

yo i love teodor, he's not visbile in this strip but is the brains behind the bloody mary bong. hes great cuz he really is about as big a party animal as any of the others hes just more reserved and way less sloppy about it than, oh, say, ray.

oh bonus in that last panel ray finally tells a joke with superb timing and tasteful delivery.
