does ray smuckles seriously only sleep on a twin? That's a bit of a let down.
unfun » neu 2 years ago
Ray has many beds.
teira » neu 2 years ago
I always sort of just assumed he'd have a size beyond king. A size simply named "Ray"
themolt » neu 2 months ago
Many beds for many occasions.
atticusonline » neu 1 years ago
The fact that I actually know a skinny-ass, dry-haired girl named Summer is terrifying and hilarious.
fermatprime » neu 1 years ago
is she a "secret shopper" for a grocery store analysis chain?
atticusonline » neu 1 years ago
That is something she would definitely do...also smoking the wrong end of a cigarette.
cpnglxynchos » neu 10 months ago
"I assume you light the color-coded end, right?"
evolume » neu 2 years ago
i'm sure i've mentioned this before but, my firm belief is that he sleeps on a twin so that if there is a hotty next to him, she has to get out or get busy...
dropkickpikachu » neu 2 years ago
What a coincidence this is my strategy as well.
achilleselbow » neu 2 years ago
This is my strategy also. It has nothing to do with the fact that the indented space in my tiny room only allows for a twin bed, or that I cannot afford a larger one.
thescrivener » neu 1 years ago
I'm 6'2" and I sleep on a full, even at a near-anorexic level I take up more than a twin bed by myself.
My strategy is that if you have enough space for yourself and a hottie, you need more hotties, not less space.
mikeronomicon » neu 1 years ago
I like your style! Chubbie for you good sir!
spicyponyhead » neu 10 months ago
I bought a king-sized bed, so there'd be room for 2 other people to sleep over. So far, this has worked well.
farqussus » neu 2 years ago
Although we only ever see Ray wake up when he is hungover, I like to think he only sleeps in that bed when he's drunk. It's a small, bare bed in a small bare, spare bedroom that Beef has coined 'Wallow World".
son_of_selleck » neu 2 years ago
you have to cherish ray's sleeping face.
omnidope » neu 2 years ago
His nose injury may have given him a deviated septum.
odei » neu 2 years ago
Ray's arm is hell of skinny. (Damn, that should not worry me so much.) Have the kebab, Ray, get some meat back on them bones.
odei » neu 2 years ago
Assetbar suggestion: have pop-ups asking "Have you had plenty of sleep?" "Are you intoxicated?" before letting a user post.
k_buttsworthe » neu 2 years ago
"Don't chew that pen you dont know where its been"
k_buttsworthe » neu 2 years ago
"when are you going to start dinner its almost 8 o'clock"
phoenixultima » neu 2 years ago
"your opinions really aren't that important"
songbirdspectre » neu 2 years ago
"look over there!"
gormster » neu 2 years ago
"fetch the ball, fetch it... good boy"
jackparsons » neu 2 years ago
"don't be a cock to people"

"The children are worried because they never see you at home anymore."
odei » neu 2 years ago
"You forgot to pick up the kids from school yesterday."

"It's 11pm! What time do you- you stink of bourbon!"

Who needs assetbar for this one? When I read it, I imagined someone yelling at Roast Beef.
spinynorman » neu 2 years ago
We all know Onstad could rake in thousands of dollars by letting dating site popups advertise on Assetbar. It's only though his favor that we are not tempted by the smiling 19-year old talking on the phone while playfully lying on her bed with massive words CALL ME! underneath.
pyromancer » pro 2 years ago
No kebab. Ray would totally chunder the kebab.
gormster » neu 2 years ago
I think that is the first time I have ever heard anyone use the word 'chunder' in context. This is significant since it is apparently slang native to my homeland.
radishes » pro 2 years ago
His arm models the idea of a real cat's anatomy rather well I think.
dccate » neu 1 years ago
Skinny but still strong enough to rip a man's face off, then turn a cowboy into cowboy sauce.
spicyponyhead » neu 10 months ago
hissssssssssssssssss
padijun » neu 2 years ago

solobuttons » pro 2 years ago
Eggs B and a Bloody, dogg.

Actually that's how I started my day today.
mrclarinet » neu 2 years ago
I am at a gas station
stuart » neu 2 years ago
The best part of waking up.
blastradius » pro 2 years ago
We know what he thought about last night ... but what did he think about today? The dude has a million crazy schemes that he isn't wasting thoughts on anonymous chicks during the daylight hours.
shmuckeles » neu 2 years ago
Ray sleeps with his shades on. What a star.
awko » neu 2 years ago
Sleeps with em on or forgets to take them off before collapsing onto his bed?
aperson » neu 2 years ago
I had an experience similar to Ray once, when I woke up in the morning. Luckily "THERE WAS NO LADY PE TEACHER THERE".
jackparsons » neu 2 years ago
A whole new perspective on Ms. Winslet.
thommy_h » pro 2 years ago
Hmmm...Ray's inner-monologue appears to obey the same laws of punctuation and style as Roast Beef's actual dialogue. Is this significant?
methadone » neu 2 years ago
it's because his head is pounding so hard he can barely hear his thoughts
gage » pro 2 years ago
Ray doesn't remember emailing Téodor a link to a "Chicks with Dicks" website at 4 am.
aperson » neu 2 years ago
The dude is connecting the dots so we dont have to. Applause.
grayfox » pro 2 years ago
RotaryResurrection is that you?
behka » pro 2 years ago
Ray can be a simple man at times. he has simple needs: no skinny ass girls with dry hair named Summer. i believe today has met those needs for Ray.
pitseleh » pro 2 years ago
I think we've all had thoughts similar to Ray's at one time in our lives. God knows I have. Sheesh.
grayfox » neu 2 years ago
I woke up one time and thought I was blind. Turned out it was just 5am and I was facing a wall.
supergeorgina » neu 2 years ago
I woke up twice one morning and thought I was colorblind! It was actually just a gray New England day.
honesttom » neu 2 years ago
I once woke up convinced it was the 1950s, and therefore not worth switching the TV on.
aaron_haynes » pro 2 years ago
I woke up convinced I could send a clone of myself to take a shower and go to work, so that I could continue sleeping.
littlefatdog » pro 2 years ago
I once woke up convinced that I was still dreaming, and went through the day doing ridiculous things and fearing no consequences.
twoply » neu 2 years ago
I once woke up with a spoon in my mouth, a bowl of cereal in my hand, Skinemax on the tv, and my parents screaming at me.
geesycreesy » neu 2 years ago
Weird; the same thing happened to me when I was kid. No joke.
tha_snazzle » neu 2 years ago
I once woke up and spent the first five minutes of my day trying to turn off the alarm telekinetically.
porquechutzpah » neu 2 years ago
one time i woke up to the sounds of bela fleck and steve martin playing the banjo. the day was sunny and temperate, and nothing could bring my mood down.
le_chien_manquee » neu 2 years ago
one time i had a nosebleed during my drunken sleep and must've been lying on my back and when i woke up, padded into the bathroom and looked at the mirror, i thought my eye had fallen out and i actually screamed. not my proudest moment
gormster » neu 2 years ago
it's all a conspiracy.
croi » neu 2 years ago
It's 1 am and I can't stop giggling at this.

(Germanely: My mother does not know that Achewood exists; it follows that she does not know I read it when I'm alone in my room in the wee smalls. My mother is developing the opinion that I am mad.)
odei » neu 2 years ago
Weird, sometimes I kinda wake up but I'm still dreaming and I think I'm getting ready for college but I'm not so when I do get up I am double exhausted.
thisisaspace » pro 2 years ago
i've rarely had a day where i don't feel that way.
ttagxamm » neu 2 years ago
One morning I woke up, put my bathing suit on, sleep-drove to the gym, removed my bathing suit for a pre-swim shower, and walked to the pool bare-ass naked before realizing where the hell I was.
croi » neu 2 years ago
How far was the gym?
ttagxamm » neu 2 years ago
Oh, I dunno, four or five miles? I had my wife in the car to prod me back awake.

Caught a lucky break in that the smaller pool off the locker rooms was unlit and empty, and an even luckier break that none of the cleaning staff was in the laundry room I passed on my way to poolside.
apatfan » pro 2 years ago
I love that shish kebabs are only delicious at appropriate times, and are otherwise gross. Also, he can't even allow himself a decent amount of toast. That's how early it is.
rumblefish » neu 1 years ago
Don't be forcing your notion of what constitutes a "decent" amount of toast on us.
stevepants » neu 2 years ago
oh god I can't wait for the beef installment of this!

HI! -> YES!
nonentity » pro 2 years ago
I woke up to a chick named Summer once. She was not skinny-ass, either.

Let me just tell you, that is the worst of times.
nictusempra » neu 2 years ago
That reference was trying a little too hard to exist, son.
andrew_ » pro 2 years ago

I am just so pleased that this is turning into a mini-arc. It is what the doctor suggested.
evolume » neu 2 years ago
i went to high school with a skinny ass chick with dry hair named Summer. she had F'd up Jewel-teeth but she was still pretty cute.
robobogle » neu 2 years ago
John?!? Is that really you?!?

John why do you hate my teeth they are very pretty.
cpnglxynchos » neu 10 months ago

spicyponyhead » neu 10 months ago
Was she a blonde? Was this in California? (not me, but this is apparently a Thing)

Some kids hide under their blanket from imaginary monsters. Ray hides under his blanket from imaginary secret shoppers that he may or may not have boned. If I can't see her, she can't spoon me!
gormster » neu 2 years ago
It is impossible to spoon someone that can see you.
jaredwilde » neu 2 years ago
This man speaks truth.
steerpike66 » neu 2 years ago
I find that if you get drunk and eat something heavy and kebab-ish late at night, then crash, you wake up craving more meats on sticks.
onion_lightly » neu 2 years ago
If you're gonna be a dick at least make an effort, dude.
onion_lightly » neu 2 years ago
Fuck. Checkmate.
projectyl » neu 2 years ago
None before me have echoed an excellent sound effect, and so it the Rule of Acheworld that I must. It is a void to be filled.

PHOOoooooo.

It is the sound of relief, of release, of a head hitting the pillow from which it was jerkily divorced a few seconds earlier. It is today's Best Sound. Come to the podium, PHOOoooooo.
plezure » neu 2 years ago
Oh man. That is freaky. I did wake up to a skinny-ass check the other day. Only her name was Frank, not Summer.

woodenteeth » neu 2 years ago
I do enjoy the fact that this comic attracts and possibly educates people on how to make a funny comment. That's all we need on here really. Extended funnies. Top work kids.
geesycreesy » pro 2 years ago
Ray's control of his anxiety is great: once the danger of post-coitus cuddles is out of sight, he just exhales into sleep.
In that same situation, I usually have to do a shot, then jog outside, and then do two more shots. It's what I call my Eye of Tiger regiment.
skiddyfisk » neu 2 years ago
I hope this becomes a series like the flowcharts.
paperboy_2000 » pro 2 years ago
Dang I am eagerly awaiting the next strip. I suppose Philippe is doing some last-minute fact checking about the speed of industrial bologna slicers or some such.

Anyone else worried about Rod Huggins after Nice Pete's blog entry? Pete may be one "caramel thighs" from a little one-on-one with Rod.
miku224 » neu 2 years ago
I too am rather concerned for Rod. But then, I'm rather concerned for everyone that Nice Pete encounters. He's a dangerous dude.

For once, Ray is happy to still be hella klondike.

"California Lunchtime" is when you do a heavy shift of drinking on Friday night and get really hungry at like 3 in the morning. But that's fine, 'cause that's okay.

"California Lunchtime" is Monday.
