God I love this arc as well.

Was the Ray-Suit ever explained?

It's just a badass halloween costume. Ray probably passed out before taking it off.
andyfaewatford » neu 2 years ago
It reminds me a lot of the credits to the A-Team, where Hannibal was in a Godzilla costume, and he opened up the face to smoke a cigar.

Anyone?

I like that, if you think about it, Ray is completely laying down here.

So I'm guessing nothing's in the cocktail glass?

Actually, I suppose it would make sense if it was just a prop. Another component of the Ray costume.
tronwell » neu 1 years ago
i'm going to guess that given the presence of the bendy straw the glass probably held not less than one bottle of gin and more than a mere splash of vermouth.
zapatos » neu 1 years ago
or no gin, since Ray drinks Diamond Juice.

No he's just sleeping standing up in the suit.

I like that he holds the phone up to his costumed ear, not his real ear.

He dressed up as himself. That is cold hard.

alt text: Ray double-sized himself for Halloween, except for his liver.

Ray logic dictates that if he is bigger he can drink more, even if he is not really bigger and his liver is the same size, hence giant martini glass.

credit the alt-text when you straight out verbatim it.
mugi » neu 1 years ago
I enjoy the use of verbatim as a verb.
boredom_man » neu 1 years ago
It is a good verbing.
atticusonline » neu 1 years ago
or else
shutup_shutup » neu 1 years ago
Aw shit, that alt-text was straight out verbatimed to pieces!
thommy_h » neu 2 years ago
Seriously the best halloween costume ever.
catachresis » neu 2 years ago
The double-size drink makes it.

With a straw, to fit through the Ray-suit's mouth-hole.

I have had mornings like this.

Panel #9 KILLS me. You can tell how fucking annoyed he is to have some asshole calling him the morning after haloween talking about the news.
never_die » pro 2 years ago
we all should answer the phone like that when we are woken up. just to let the other person know where we stand.
hollis » neu 2 years ago
"Let's re-talk tomorrow." A good way of saving syllables when it hurts to talk.
tellumo » pro 2 years ago
Also the line preceding that one. That is the best description of a hangover ever.
jhunter » neu 1 years ago
"I can feel bits of my brain falling away like a wet cake"
"I feel like a pig shat in my head"
"I've got a bastard behind the eyes"
"My head feels like there's a frenchman living in it"

there are many ways to describe a hangover, the more colourful the better; I do not think I could ever cold pick a favourite

You forgot 'I feel like I've been beaten up underwater.'
straw » pro 2 years ago
Ray is not asking questions he is cold saying things
jezebel » pro 6 months ago
That's my favorite part. Ray is in too much double-martini pain to even put the little lilt at the end of "Did you know that" to make it a proper question.
deancain29 » neu 2 years ago
I looooove the Ray suit idea
professorhazard » neu 2 years ago
It is Ray's least useful hull.
foetus_punch » neu 2 years ago
I clicked on that about seven times, thinking it was a link. I got very frustrated, and then noticed my mistake. Here, have a chubby as recompense for repeatedly highlighting your words.
heccibiggs » neu 1 years ago
Clicked on what? Clicked on what?
foetus_punch » neu 1 years ago
I...don't...know...
ham_shoes » pro 4 months ago
I for one would like to see the return of hulls.
luckypyjamas » neu 2 years ago
the ray suit sort of reminds me of arthur from pat's support group
spinynorman » neu 2 years ago
It's also smiling like a donut, much like Trebeck's wife, so that's also appropriate for Aaaaaarthur.
chuchurocket » neu 2 years ago
hmm...i have to wonder why ray had to open the face panel to answer the phone, but was able to hear through the head anyway.

phthoggos » neu 2 years ago
I would buy a Ray suit.
dusty » neu 2 years ago
I wish i looked distinctive enough to make a giant mascot style version of my head to wear as part of a costume, but I'm too generic looking.

Pat: Hallowe'en!

Pat turns down the dick factor for Hallowe'en.
heccibiggs » neu 1 years ago
Not by much.

I don't think I ever went trick-or-treating, but if I had, I can only imagine how pleased I'd have been to receive a sanctimonious lecture about falcons and a packet of delicious ketchup.

I would not have been very pleased.

True story time! In high school, my siblings and I were so infamous that one Halloween, another group of kids dressed up like [i]us[/] for their costumes.

Dammit, self. We've been over this. DON'T DRINK AND POST.

spicyponyhead » neu 11 months ago
How far you've fallen from kids dressing up like you for Halloween.
dasuta » neu 2 years ago
For a few seconds, I was wondering what Arthur was doing with Ray's glasses, but I was soon shown what tomfoolery was afoot.

"that fake ad"
bozendoka » pro 1 years ago
Some entrepreneuring individual simply must make that ad. Or if it exists, said individual must find and then post a link to it.
fattypneumonia » pro 5 months ago
I regret nothing.
[IMGS OFF]

Much love and thanks to Patrick Alexander for allowing me the use of his characters. He's the fuckin' bomb, yo. Please go read his comics immediately.
direhaggis » pro 1 years ago
I'm thinking the drink is normal Ray-sized. That is some stone cold serious 'hair of the dog that bit me' right there. That is enough bull terrier to kill a normal man.

Double sized Ray

double sized drinks

squeee
preston » neu 1 years ago
I read this strip stoned once, and the idea of Ray's suit holding a cell phone while he talked inside of it completely blew my fucking mind.
