0056 - Ray and Cornelius Disagree About The Pentagon
Added 2024-03-15 17:00:02 +0000 UTCI have spent the past week entertaining my parents, who are visiting from out of town. We are the sort of family who hold seven concurrent conversations despite there being only three people in the room. It is a special kind of multiplexing which can drive others mad. I can handle it, because I grew up in it, but it has the unfortunate downside of making it impossible, at night, to consider anything other than falling into bed and aiming benumbed pupils at the tips of my toes. Hence, the Author's Tier and In-Universe Tier haven't seen the usual activity this week, and for that I both apologize and happily announce the following:
As soon as I am free again on Sunday, and I finish the 298-mile personal-time run/shriek I am planning, I will greedily resume doling out the fevered ideas I've been adding to the Master Document while hiding in various restaurant men's rooms all week. The beginning of the coming week will see a compensatory burst of output for your enjoyment.

2024-03-18 07:48:30 +0000 UTCIt is helpful for the bear to have a side hustle, in this economy

2024-03-17 00:29:33 +0000 UTCyou can't rely on idiots being interested in self-actualization, though

2024-03-16 09:34:35 +0000 UTCAlso just realized that “I’m in… disarray” has the same vibe as when Ray says he’s been a bad boy and someone must sit on his cake about a billion years ago

2024-03-15 23:48:30 +0000 UTCThere's a Bloom County strip where someone proposes breaking into the Pentagon (I think, I can't find it because internet search sucks now) and flushing all the toilets. I like to think that that's where Ray got the idea.

2024-03-15 21:53:56 +0000 UTCIt has been a solid second since Achewood made me legitimately GUFFAW and here we are. Don't get me wrong, love it all, but that last panel was a knee-slapper!
Joe Locastro
2024-03-15 18:12:47 +0000 UTCGetting Ray to shut the fuck up is satisfaction met.
Aaron J. Rushton
2024-03-15 18:11:29 +0000 UTCA glove slap and yet no demands for satisfaction? Most unbecoming! (choose any upper class accent you would like to apply to the above.)

2024-03-15 17:42:56 +0000 UTCOh the vast chasm of lost intellectual potential of today's humanity, the sheer whirlpool of disarray. If only Achewood could be the Cornelian slap to it.
Ola Leier
2024-03-15 17:42:07 +0000 UTCIt's good that Ray will have a long time friend dole out the slaps. He might spend far too much to have a stranger do it. Cornelius is offering him a bargain.

2024-03-15 17:40:19 +0000 UTCThe sip before he negotiates foe 3 is classic.

2024-03-15 17:37:38 +0000 UTCReminds me of when a guy asked The Straight Dope if every person in China jumped off a chair at the same time, would the Earth be thrown off its axis. There was a drawing.

2024-03-15 17:22:24 +0000 UTCSome ice cold classic ass shit right here. Cheers.

2024-03-15 17:20:06 +0000 UTCThis is going to escalate to the point where they're going to have to spend some time apart

2024-03-15 17:14:38 +0000 UTCConnie no-name checking Ted Kaczinki and then dumbing down his bitch-slap rationale for Ray who would have no idea what dishabille meant is a classic Fuck You Friday move, IMO.
J Hardy Carroll
2024-03-15 17:14:05 +0000 UTCIN WHICH Cornelius Demonstrates the Art of Escalating Fibonacci Negotiation. A clever person discounts for the second, a genius doubles.
Aaron G. Stock
2024-03-15 17:12:11 +0000 UTCAnd growing up around seven concurrent conversations by three people (I'm assuming in different voices) gives depths to Achewood's character

2024-03-15 17:10:38 +0000 UTCDamn, Connie really has had it figured out since presidents smoked on TV
