That "baths only" poster needs to be on a shirt.

this would be the best shirt

holy hell YES why had that not happened. I would wear it everywhere.

Would you wear it...in the shower?

this is a classic: well written, off the cuff, hilarious

Ray is the master of making sure minor arguments never grow into Things.

There are certain strips that emulate the peak of benevolence each character is capable of...I think this is (one of) Ray's. Anyone have others?

There's been a couple of occasions when Lie Bot has used his lies for good, especially when it comes to sparing Phillipe's feelings.

The end. No moral.

thats the same as saying guns use their bullets for good, especially when they shoot kill bad guys.

When Ray and Roast Beef give Philippe the birthday present of leading him to think he's cured Ray's fear of heights through prayer.

My personal favourite is when Todd really isn't doing cocaines at Philippe's birthday party.

Man Why You Even Got To Do A Thing

I like how Ray explains to Teodore that Robert Smith is The Cure's "main singer". Like this is something Robert Smith would actually say to people on the phone (I don't actually know for certain that he doesn't, btw, so if Robert is reading this then I'm sorry for misrepresenting your phone-habits).

i like how robert smith says "dogg."

I am waiting for the day when I'm in some bar and I see that Onstad's Robert Smith and BATHS ONLY tattooed on someone's arm.

I just won't know what to do. I will probably just fucking die.

Oh norman, just get the tattoo yourself!

I am sure that will get me mad tail like you won't believe.

Of course, before each session of tail-getting there will be at least ten minutes of semi-coherent, drunken explanation about exactly what the fuck that is on my arm. I have zero doubt that in combination with Onstad's artistry, my blatant awesomeness in willing to get a tattoo, and the considerable charm exhibited in my lengthy explanation, the woman in question will actually catch fire from sheer arousal.

I am tempted to get a tattoo of Bender on my ass for similar reasons.

Hahaha, okay, that would be pretty interesting stuff right there.

Just as long as no one gets close enough to read the binary.

Go for the "Boy goths pee sitting down" tat.

A little bit of info on Robert Smith's phone habits

I wonder what other idolised celebrities Ray has on the phone for falling out with the others.

Beef: Liv Tyler, Steven Hawking.
Pat: Bono, Ani DiFranco.
Mr. Bear: That tennis player he stalked in his blogs whose name I can't remember.

ACHEWOOD CONTINUITY POLICE!

I think you're referring to Ektarina who was a volleyball player, not tennis. Though I might be getting it all wrong and forgetting a tennis player he had mad crushes on.

Who was that chick that killed himself when he never responded to her letters?

The former ambassador of Belgium

You forgot Tori Amos.

Teodore: The Cure
Beef: Tori Amos
Ray: assorted rap musics

One of these things is not like the others.

The Cure and rap music actually exist.

The assorted rap musics are most likely not total girls.

I think the Cure are the most referenced band on Achewood.

hm, i remember the occasional mention of tori amos, the beach boys, the dead kennedys, and alanis morisette (as well as the 'lyle wins oasis' run), but i reckon you're right.

and for the record, 'sex funeral' is still one of my absolute favorite achewood band names. (^ ^,)

And the Beatles.

There's like 8 beatles references. Definitely its the beatles. Or the tenmen.

i would think it's social distortion, though i haven't counted...

Misfits get everytime Lyle's around

Oh man the picture of Robert Smith with a wash towel just makes it.

chris's hatred for the cure cracks me up almost as much as the picture of robert smith taking a bubble bath

I think Onstad may indeed like the Cure, but also hates himself for liking the Cure.

Or perhaps he is simply making fun of ridiculous things.

It is possible that he is a man who does not think that your musical taste defines your quality as a person.

The Cure are none too bad, however your unironic use of "the bomb" is quite bad

dont you mock the things/people youre fond of?

Ray made a couple of phone calls, and as it turns out, neither he or Teodor are fat! Who knew?

This is another way how a Man apologizes.

The title of this strip (on my computer, anyway) says Tacodor instead of Teodor. tee hee. combination of taco and odor?

I wonder what Ray's voice sounds like doing a non-English version of Robert Smith. I don't think Teodor is buying it for a second. Probably just playing along.

My browser can't handle the unicode or whatever and always displays the accented e in Teodor's name as a capital A and a copyright symbol. So: TA(c)odor

My browser seems to handle it okay, but Assetbar doesn't. It's alright in titles and alt texts, but almost always screwed up in the comments.

That always throws me. I want to imagine Ray is doing a particularly good impression of Robert Smith's voice every time I read this strip, but that is clearly not the case and I can't imagine what Ray doing a bad impression of Robert Smith would be.

Not that I know what Ray is supposed to sound like normally, but I have settled on a voice for it, at least.

Robert Smith, for the record, could also stand to lose some weight these days.

A double-meaning chubby for you, sir.

Only Ray could use so much panache.

great strip. Just great.

I wish I could vote this one a six.

this is exactly how all men work out their problems

The little hand gesture with the line "Robert Smith cannot HEEAR YOOUUUUU!" is comedic gold. Its like he is sing-speaking the line and using his hand placement to measure the pitch. SOUND OF MUSIC OLD SCHOOL!!

Yeah man! Chubs.

such a ridiculous 5

has there ever been such a 5

Another feud ended with the help of Stella.

I don't use many Achewood quotes in my day-to-day life. Some would say I don't use enough. When talking to my goth friends, however, I have on more than one occasion said "Don't tell me you take a shower now! SO not goth!"

This strip, like so many others, is vastly enhanced if you read it out loud to yourself.

I get the feeling Ray isn't even changing his voice for this at all. And if he is, he's using a girly, high-pitched voice.

Ray Smuckles: He Gets Things Done

This is why Ray is a great friend.

Ray did not attempt to alter his voice at all for this

<--- must be a boy goth, then

This is my favourite Achewood strip. The BATHS ONLY picture is priceless.

Weekend Blogs (Saturday - Monday)

Mr. Bear: Everyone's a pub-namer

I can't believe "The Dude and Catastrophe" beat out "The Teats and Ass."

Cornelius needs to reevaluate.

Dunno, Rowboat. I think The Dude and Catastrophe has some more staying power, you know? The Teats and Ass sounds fun for the first 10 minutes, but it's like that tattoo you get of a band you really really like. Sure, nice for a few years, but when your music tastes change and you start to dislike the band you used t call favorite, you're gonna be slammin' down cold ones to drown the shame away.

Man, I wish I knew who Ray phoned to find out that information. I could sure as hell use knowing that I'm not fat.

I really got to remember to always refer to Stellas as being crispy from now on. Hella crispy.

and so the plot point of Keith Moon's head is, like him, suspended in ether indefinitely

I'd forgotten about this strip completely. It's like finding your dad's gun, which is made of money and naked women.

Like the beginnings of Bond movies.

If this gun shoots scotch I will lay with it and probably get man-pregnant and give birth to an unnaturally handsome child that farts AWESOME.
Ray calling me as Jimmy Page would basically make up for any conceivable rift between us. For this, I would bring the Stellas.

I love how Ray tries impersonating the lead singer of a band, to try to apologize to his friend... and still feels the need to dick him around by telling him it is not "goth" to shower. Ray is a very special kind of man.

Subtlety of Ray's awesomeness: in the last panel, when he says "thanks for bein the bigger man and gettin' in touch"-- turns out that bigger man was him. Not Robert Smith or T&%*odor, but the big chochacho himself.

"Baths Only" This strip is too much, tooo Muuuch!

I like how, when asked if they were goth, Robert Smith said something akin to, "No."

Wow- Ray makes up better than ANYONE.

I need that Baths Only poster.
For my bathroom.

Yesterday, Robert Smith turned 50.

It is said that Robert Smith celebrates his birthday by hiring a homeless man to play 'Pictures of You' on a rusting musical saw. He sits at the head of a long table set with service for twelve, each plate containing a sole piece of driftwood draped in a wilted daffodil. Eleven seats are empty.

He does not smile, and he does not cry; he slowly spills the contents of a rare bottle of pinot noir onto a crisp white tablecloth. The stain spells:
'N O T Y E T ,
A N O T H E R Y E A R'.

A steak and a crispy stella sounds pretty damn good right now.

Alas, it is leftover green chili stew and killians for me.
