Best last panel ever haha.

yes, that is what i call Saturday night

"Try the veal, everybody, tip your waitresses."

Roast Beef looking jacked.

I love Ray saying "Verily, as did I."

Now every time I hear The Boys are Back in Town this is all I think of; my mind runs an endless loop of the guys jumping over the couch.

Yeah, but keep in mind, using antiquarian language to discuss trim outside of Achewood isn't going to garner much respect from anyone you want to spend more than fifteen seconds with.

Have to disagree on that one, SN. What about time travelling victorian inventors? Especially the attractive female ones?

Johdpurs!

No... I like it with the goggles on.

victorian female = more fainting couch, less inventing. unless she's a crazy queen or noble. then it's all fun, till she gets angry at you and has you drawn and quartered

hung[/i[ drawn and quartered.. you gotta get it [i]right .. or at least that that ass first.

I.. I don't know how this happened, I am sorry.

You know this from personal experience?

This was THE arc that got me into the comic. Somebody on Superdickery posted it in the forums.

ray wants to give women what they want...particularly more children.

We just have to remember

Fuckin' Descartes right there.

The new saying is "I think, therefore, I am. I remember...verily, I remember."

"Je pense, donce je suis. Je me souvenis...en effet, je me souvenis"

Descartes originally said this is French, not Latin but it was the 17th century after all.

I also needed to translate something into French without availing myself to orthographic marks.

Before this strip, I had only associated that word with The Scarlet Letter. I can now go back to using it without feeling like a vain Victorian nobleman.

I think it's especially great that RAY is using "verily"... from Teodor, I might expect, but Mr. Smuckles? Nay.

Completely off-topic, that must be the greatest Avatar ever produced, Kamet. I miss the Pink Panther.

Chubby for noting that your comment was off-topic. Also, I miss that darned cat too.

Call it "The Appendage Effect": even a lout like Ray becomes a gentleman and a scholar with one of those weights on his crotch.

They're all jumping in slow motion in my mind... just having a great old time

It'd be in real time, but as they reach the apex of their leap, freeze frame, fade out, roll credits.

Would Thin Lizzy continue playing, or would it switch to the Night Court theme music?

fantastic. that's also the perfect song for having fun!

I've been reading Achewood for the past week starting from the beginning, and it really turned a corner after GOF, to go down the hall of completely awesome.

TOMORROW: The January, 2006 issue of Cosmo.

i cannot think of a song better for this occasion than said song

chips are good.

it is so fun to be with the dudes

It's funny that as they are in touch with their primitive selves, they speak with a more proper diction than usual.

I love that despite having huge sexual organs, our ancestors didn't make prolific use of them. Indeed, mating only for procreation. I guess that they don't need to do the job that often, getting it done right every time.

I'm just getting into Achewood, reading all the way back from the beginning. And as such, i've seen several thousand comments saying "THIS is my favorite story arc"
And i will admit, it has sort of gotten annoying.

But goddamn, if this arc is not my favorite arc. I mean, it's about foil underwear with simulated extended wangs. Like, i don't even know.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the new dirtiest dudes in town trio!

Today's Blogs

Ray: I got to quit settin' myself up for a disaster.
Pat: Back to Trader Joe's.

Verily, I gave this strip the 5 it most assuredly desserved.

Seriously, this can all be equated to a solid LSD trip, the feeling of liberation from ego, the want to return to a simpler, more primal time of human history, the feeling of just being a small part of a massive, balanced system of which one individual is no consequence to.. all of these feelings can be brought forth when we unlock the psychedelic key to our own souls.

Why, I would have to agree.

You describe the Hollywood idea of tripping.

In reality it's more like endlessly darting back and forth between the room without people in it and the room with people in it over and over again, never being able to decide which is more sad and terrifying. That, or you just giggle like a moron for six hours and then pass out for another twelve.

For something which used to be quite dear to my heart, I really do not miss acid.

Ahhh. Bliss.

this story arc is genius

Notice the varying sizes of the objects placed in the holders, with Ray's being the biggest.

The last panel is an absolute good.

When I visited the Achewood website for the very first time many years ago, this is the strip I saw.

Oh, memories. I came in during good times.

I am beginning to doubt the power of the ding-a-ling armature.

Reading a stale Cosmopolitan is a poor approximation of a woman's company.

You know they just read the "Top ten bedroom tips to drive your man WILD", and tossed it back on the table...
