"He said "faggot" the way old telegrams said STOP."
Probably in my top three favourite sentences in achewood ever.

I agree completely.
bookofsand » pro2 years ago
Seconded. I would give this strip a 6 if science would let me; that line made even my dad laugh.
chaesar » pro2 years ago
You can't vote a 6, and Nice Pete can't kill dead things.
What we need more of is science.
rainwolfj » pro2 years ago
We need less science! With more faith and less science we could vote 6's or even 7's, and Nice Pete could even murder the dead!
epicurus » neu2 years ago
It took quite a bit of effort to give a chubby to a post containing the words "We need less science" in that order.
rainwolfj » neu1 years ago
I hope the sarcasm came across... I sport my "What We Need More of is Science" hoodie a much as possible in Texas.

rainwolfj is a damn rebel.

You looking for a hug buddy, because flattery will earn you one of those.
aliiis » pro1 years ago
if you like it, you shoulda put a hug on it

The state of Texas itself will prevent the shirt being worn sometimes. Like, a big ol' arm made from the honest soil of Texas rises up and pulls the shirt off you two days a week.

Chubby for appropriateness of avatar alone

achewood transcends generational gaps in a way that rock music and special-effect movies cannot.
shmuckeles » neu2 years ago
It's up there all right, but I just love that recent line from Miami "... you'd toss more salad than a seasick rabbit,"
connellingus » neu2 years ago
I have taken to describing one of my roommates this way.

When I went to click "next," I right-clicked and opened it in a new tab. I'm keeping this one open all day.
randombeing » neu2 years ago
It's my favourite line in the whole damned strip's history. The entire thing is a comedic masterpiece, though. "I couldn't tell if he had a haircut." I wish I could give this a five one billion times.
aliiis » pro1 years ago
chubbied for truth, brofessional
dybrar » pro6 months ago
One of many instances of Achewood indeed being a celebration of the English language.

sometimes people can not, will not accept things
senseihollywood » neu2 years ago
here's a true thing: in my illustrious career, the only people I've seen piss in an empty were bass players...I mean cold all pissing into bottle right out in the open and stuff...seen it happen...you've been warned
killerlimpet » neu2 years ago
What's a bassist use for contraception?
His personality.
prine » pro2 years ago
There's something great about the fact that once he gets the "pissing into empties" bee in his bonnet it just stays there for the rest of the strip.
aliiis » neu1 years ago
Yeah it is true. A similar thing sort of happened to me one time when I saw a guy stealing a bike (well, sawing through a D-lock) and, as a cyclist, was so outraged that I called the police. I had not seen this strip at the time but I recall being aware that I kept saying 'He was STEALING a BIKE' in a horrified tone - like 'yeah he was, you know, normal height, and he had glasses, but, but he was STEALING a BIKE! Please hurry!'

"My car parts are on my car, by the way" and the "He said 'faggot' the way old telegrams said STOP" lines rank among my favorite in Achewood history.
chris80x » pro2 years ago
This has got to be my all time favorite achewood strip. One thing though. If I didn't know better, I would swear that Ray is pissing into an empty in that last panel.
kochipoik » neu2 years ago
Nah, maybe more like pissing into his martini glass, half full. He's looking pretty furtively out the window.
falseprophet » pro2 years ago
You're pissin into an empty, but whatever. No rims for you.
riazm » pro2 years ago
This strip is great, so is the Alt Text.
THE ALTERNATIVE TEXT:
Seven men pissing into empties, calling you faggot. They cannot see you.
riazm » neu2 years ago
The Alternative Text would make a good webcomic tribute band.
And by that I mean a bad music band.
st-elmos_fire » neu1 years ago
Seven Men Pissing Into Empties, Calling You Faggot. They Cannot See You seems like it would definitely be a Nu-Metal/Prog-Rock band that combined the worst and best of all music to create something undeniably awful.
centipede_damascus » pro2 years ago
Man, I would hope if I had a problem like that the police would care about it.
digdugz » pro2 years ago
I love how into the second to last panel he's peering out of his window all careful. Almost as if he fears that there will be empty-pissing-in dirtbags doing sinister things on his property when he looks out.
darkwaffle » neu2 years ago
"I couldn't tell if he had a haircut or not." is the standout to me. Sounds like great slam material.
alessandro » neu2 years ago
this is my ultimate favorite strip
molesticide » pro2 years ago
I like that Ray is using demographic profiling in defense of his complaint.
Like, who cares if Ray provoked the guy. He pisses into empties. He DESERVES to spend a night in jail.
johnmatrix » neu2 years ago
This is one of my favorite strips, but someone please explain "I couldn't tell if he had a haircut or not" to me.
tekende » neu2 years ago
I guess it is because the dude's haircut was so messy and basically bad that Ray wasn't sure if it was that way on purpose or if the guy just never took care of his har.
rowboat » pro2 years ago
Or that Ray was paying absolutely no attention at all.
imbattin » pro2 years ago
The one guy who almost took a swing at Ray has an insatiable passion for rims.
fineoakstructure » neu1 years ago
I thought Ray lived on Via Verde, not Via Vera...
puguglypress » neu6 months ago
I hadn't read this one until now, it is SO GOOD
redmange » pro4 months ago
Man why do they gotta keep hating on pissing in emtpies. I got a condition, alright. I got a condition and a really bad bathroom. Don't you judge me you damn Rap-peddling cat.
