When I read this. Comment, I said to myself "why would someone lame this? This is ok." and I went to give it a chubby...
...only to find that I had marked it lame long ago.
what the hell, me? you tucked up.

If I could I would give this strip five 5's, it is brilliant. I cracked up so many times.
autobahnbismark » neu2 years ago
I actually have reached this point.
semiquaver » neu2 years ago
Uhm. No they're not. Seriously, they're worth exactly the same. You're actually just bringing the ratings of really good strips down. I only vote when I can give a 5, but that's a lot of the time.
soticoto » neu2 years ago
Would you or would you not agree that 3/5 is average?
More importantly... do you rate Onstad's strips based on Onstad's other strips... or on other peoples strips?
I do the former.
I suspect most do the latter.
Giving all strips 4 or 5 totally rapes the concept of the term "average", no matter how good you think they are. It gives no basis for knowing which ones are better and which ones are worse.
semiquaver » pro2 years ago
That ignores the fact that the rating system is more or less useless except to give Assetbar users a starting point while reading through the archives. It doesn't matter if the ratings go from 3.5-5 (as they do) or 1-5 (as one might think they might). As long as the best ones get upvotes, most people will never see the others. Therefore, I only vote on my faves, with the intent of getting them to the top of the rating pile.
That is the only sensible way to play this, dogg.

Actually, if everyone is consistent in his or her own ratings system, then they will still affect the average ratings in a consistent way. "Pulling down the ratings" of a great strip doesn't matter, as long as you pull down the ratings of all comparably great strips an equal amount. Both your systems help orient new readers toward the strips you think are the best. Rock on!

god dammit vladimir stop bumping this shit.
layzerblade » neu5 months ago
Have I been bumping a disproportionate number of old, terrible arguments? I'm sorry if I have. It's not the kind of thing I want to contribute. It's just, I was right this time. I wanted to be right on the Internet. :(

I am all about the phrase "hella klondike".
mattfish » neu1 years ago
I'm worried people might not get the reference, because it is a fantastic phrase
echidnaboy » pro1 years ago
Link for those who have yet to discover the blogs (dudes, you are missing out)
I am basically a member of the Klondike Club! [...] Basically, the Klondike is like this area of Alaska or somethin' and it was mainly an area without women, mainly bein' explored by extremely grizzled dudes who had no outlet for sex for months or years at a time. That is what I meant by that.
sexually, the technique is a failure. but ray has been able to file for several patents on a workable mock-up of a cold fusion reactor using the "see if it winds up as sex" postulate.

I get the feeling that Pat in the fourth panel isn't particularly distraught about Ray not having sex.
red-barchetta » neu1 years ago
I think that's just where he's realizing that he shouldn't have put the ball back in Rays court. Ray has no problems talking shop. Now Pat has to listen to Rays rambling discourse on his sexual dry spell.
tbtabby » neu2 years ago
Remind me never to tell Ray to go fuck himself.
themacktruck » neu2 years ago
Especially when he really does have the means http://www.achewood.com/?date=08202003 (I don't know how to link, sorry)

No comment on the special ACHEWOOD: DIRTY EDITION title, or Pat's facial expression in panel 6?
hardelicious » neu2 years ago
I like that Pat was committed enough to grow hair and then lose half of it for his new "Gay Pat" identity.
it is true. Chinese food is basically the best food.
redmange » pro1 years ago
Ray is a man of action. When the cards are all on the table, and a thing has got to be done, Ray is the man who goes and does a thing. Toeing the thin gray line between masturbation and playing god is not out of the question. Not for a man of action.
pogo » pro1 years ago
A sex change and a time machine, eh? That's a story waiting to be written.
i_love_kate » neu1 years ago
I'm guessing that Pat's drinking his Mojito here, given the glass shape and the way he's moving the straw in the third panel, as though pushing down mint leaves.
chachibenji » neu1 years ago
When I have sex I actually try to point more than a few fingers into the air at certain times.
ham_shoes » pro1 years ago
I wonder if this was before or after Ray hired that guy to pick him up by his junk...
vheissu » neu1 years ago
Best line in this strip goes to Pat: "Did you have a bunch of sex and hoot and holler and point one finger in the air?"
Although, we all new the answer, because we have not seen the crown for a while.
zapatos » neu1 years ago
Ray, you already have a time machine.

The comma is a very critical bit of grammar in the title.
