I actually bought that strip to put in my cube at work.

Re-reading it is a good way to break the monotony of a work day.

Exactly what happened to me too.. up until this one, I managed to confine my laughing to silent shoulder shaking, but this one made me squeak.

yet that is *exactly* what i see here

Leet and very odd at the same time... compelling.

I know. I was sort of horrifically intrigued.

Man what the hell

That is mega nasty

That is dog shit


Actually, it's not THAT bad but it's fucking weird.

I love the subtle encryption of your YouTube username.

Ahhhh hahaha. I was wondering if people would see that and figure out it was me.

(Actually you'd have to be really fucking stupid to not figure out it was me.)

But, it's not so much an encryption of my YouTube username as it is just my name with the initial letters of my first and last name switched round.

OH NO I REVEALED MY NAME ON THE INTERNET GOING TO GET SO MANY STALKERS

Wow. Half the comments there are Achewood related. I counted.

Good on you for bringing this to our attention.

"Roast Beef saw through that lie basically immediately"

Alt-text FTW.

This is really an awesome phrase there are a lot of keyboards out there you don't wanna touch

That weird gray fuzzy stuff stuck to the feet of your laser mouse, or the rollers inside your ball mouse... [i]how do you explain it's sticking there??

gah, i just can't do BBcode here. I CAN'T

There's a lot of people out there who I don't want touching my keyboard. My work colleagues have poor hygiene.

This is because he forgot to bring his giant condom.

busted! he looks so glum

Which one of you looked at the weird porn?

...he asked, fully a year after the original statement was made

Porn curiousity knows no bounds.

you guys are joking right

oh god

That woman's proportions are strange.

What a ludicrous porno.

All porno is, at its heart, ludicrous. This is part of why it is AWESOME.

oh. yes.

What the hell, man?! She ruined that cake! That could have been a tasty cake.

Oh jesus like the second site on the list is devoted to porn from children's shows, and it's CALLED rule 34. someone must be shot for this

And you with a Jerkcity icon!

<insert recursion here.>

i thought it was a common kind of pornography.
in any case, the look on ray's face in the last panel is PRICELESS.

one of my top three strips EVER

The infamous fetish is revealed. Compared to most internet stuff, that fetish is mild.

I like Ray because his fetish is the innocent fetish of a child.

And wearing a tie while doing it

phthoggos this is my all time favorite comment on acheworld. good work.

Ha ha whatever dude. bravo. pshhh.

roast beef gets serious, ray is ashamed

this strip is the bitch

I have had people, when instructed to download a spyware removing utility, then ask if the simple act of downloading is enough to fix the problems. The last two panels really nail the humour.

You mean the last 2 panels of the first line?

Actually the two senteces in my post were supposed to be totally unrelated but on rereading your interpretation is really the only one that makes sense. But no, I didn't mean those panels.

I wanted to know if there really was porn like this, so I looked it up. I couldn't find any and was sort of disappointed.

Try googling "Knockers the Clown." I don't know if it counts as porn exactly, but she does (or did?) site on cakes. The book to consult on such subjects is Deviant Desires by Katharine Gates, which is among the best books ever.

Holy crap. Onstad did some research before writing the Waterbury arc.

Yeah, it's real. How I know this: Let's just say there's lots of "Rays" out there, and I know one of them.

He was also very possibly a virgin at the time of this strip - we know he had not kissed anyone up until he tried to kiss Molly and got Ray instead, and in the intervening period all his meetings with her were interrupted (it is only after this that she comes back to Earth).

Old Ray sure loves the birthday cake under bottom sites. Man, I would be hell of embarrassed for my best buddy to know that about me too.

oh man. ray's face in the last two panels. he knows he is so busted.

type through a napkin does it.

pics plz

I'm pretty sure the old saying goes, "Pics or it didn't happen"

I love Ray's "GULP" expression.

Addendum: http://achewood.com/index.php?date=08162005

Yeah for real, his facial expressions in the last two panels are great.

I have no idea why that last remark was scored a "con." I give myself a lame for that one.

I actually really want to see this on the internet too. I even tried looking up sites with cakes, bums, mashing, and whatever German-sounding term it was referenced as... I just got this morbid curiosity...

This strip is excellent in so many ways. I'd like to see more involving Ray's strange fetishes. I feel like Ray and Pat meeting in a chatroom and accidentally talking dirty to eachother has great comedic potential.

I think they would figure eachother out since they have known eachother so long. However! Teodore and Vlad did this to an extent, and it was funny.

Most comic writers would end this strip after the seventh panel, and it wouldn't be half as funny. Onstad is the master of the seemingly superfluous but actually indispensable last panel.

I love how intense Roast Beef gets whenever computers are involved.

Ray's last two faces are EXACTLY how I felt when a friend found all the stank-ass shit in my history folder. Oh the burning shame; then the indignant defense; then more burning shame.

Ray's face in the last two panels!!!

brilliant!

Beef is so offended by the idea of Ray's little fetish. A far cry from getting off on haveing your bozac flayed, admittedly, but still a little weird.

When Beef brings forth Service, even the mighty tremble.

Oh man, I've been to that cake site. It's awesome.

I love it. This is one of my top 10.

First Achewood I read.

A cat wearing a shirt and tie but no pants barbeques a sausage while chatting on the phone. I love it.

yet that is exactly what I see there

Well...someone had to, I guess.

I AM SO ATTRACTED TO THAT.

At long last, my fetish! Scientists have shown that everyone's got at least one crazily specific and esoteric fetish, you just have to find it. I can rest at last.

Thank God I can't see her eyes. That'd make me feel weird.

Damn waste of cake!

Hokay, to all the desperately hungry and morbidly curious who've tried and failed to find ladies sitting on cakes, did you try typing "cake sitting" into your image search? If not you are making this too hard for yourself.

Two words for the epicure: splosh [food naked ladies] & gunge [gooey glop n.l.]. Go now & sin some more.

I love the way that in the last panel Beef feels it necessary to say that that is what is on the computer, even though it is already obvious from the context of the panel before. Beef being all confrontational and intense.

can i rate this a five more than once cause this comic is the bitch

in panel 7 it looks like Ray's lip is actually trembling, like he is going to cry. he is that ashamed.
cake sitting porn is very close to his heart

Beef doesn't mind so much nasty porn. He just doesn't like BEING LIED TO.
