0019 - Ray and Pat in, "Road Trip," Pt. 3

All I ever wanted was to direct a movie where a car pulls off of a paved highway and onto a gravel road where it goes "crunch." I bet David Lynch could tell you his all-time top five scenes where that...anyway, that crunch is the part of the movie where we know there's no going back to the way things used to be. The protagonists enter an unknown domain beyond their control. Think about that the next time you hear a "crunch" sound.

Unlike ray I was eating great here, the libido comment was perfect, pats phone was so good, right down to the three squares can't understand emoji bit, and then ramathustra himself, oh so good

RaleighTSakers

Pat's ulterior motive reveal via ancient Nokia T9 texting is very real.

48 Minutes of Dogs Barking

but... why didn't you write "crunch" as a sound effect in panel one

Professor Hazard

"Whale". Marketing term. Excellent.

Vijnananath

Nah dude. I think Pat is genuinely into it.

Nangli

It's giving cartilage head

Aware

So this whole thing is Pat scamming tf out of Ray for his money.

Aware

In RPG terms, Rama Ron obviously has a handful of +1 and +2 paraphernalia and tricks to up his charisma stat but we don't know his baseline. We know Ray, and he seems to have rolled a natural 20 at birth. We shall see, eh?

Julie (HiDeeHoGal)

And his nose.

David Garrett

But what a battle. I’d love to see your take on this outcome

A Cloth Map

Is... Is this how Nice Pete sees Prince??

Ben Wissett

That creepy little mushroom glyph on the sign and on Ron's pendant gets more unsettling every time it appears. It's giving Umbrella Corporation.

Oppido

Whale 1

Don Rowe

We can only dream!

Walter Biggins

Just when I think Pat can’t be any more condescending or insufferable, he delivers: “You know Kandinsky.” I hope this ends with Pat being pelted with mushroom stems and ayahuasca seeds.

Walter Biggins

YES. While I totally see what some previous commenters were saying about a Sondra vibe, my first thought was of His Purpleness.

Jacquelyn R Walters

One of my favorite little Achewood details is how whenever there's a close-up of a cat's finger there's the claw poking out

Lynsey McCoskey

I've been wondering how Prince will be reincarnated. I wonder no more

John Hart

The holy grail of this arc will be Ray somehow actually coming to grips with his crappy father while surrounded by shrooming warlocks

Toilet Cobra

"large" and "lonely" twice, what's on Ray's mind y'all

Nathaniel R

"How I'm supposed to have a libido" preach it @Raymond Smuckles.

Nathaniel R

Sinister!

Alex Woods

Trippin' Kandinsky

Lisa Carrico

i want those goggles

elton mesquita

The ▯▯▯ emoji not rendering on Pat's "feature" phone is such a great little detail. lmao the guru's aesthetic sent me as well. this is gonna be a great arc, i can tell

If Ray had ever had such as dal tadka using the dhungar method and coconut oil instead of ghee, he would know vegan food can be exquisite. Am glad to see Wassily Kandinsky getting a shout out too. Pat is a durn fool for thinking he can use Ray for brownie points with Rama Ron. It'll be a battle of charismas.

Julie (HiDeeHoGal)

Same you guys, something about the face shape.

Julie (HiDeeHoGal)

Also I feel like if Ray has any father trauma it's probably the retroactive realisation that he could've had Ramses Luther as his dad if the guy could've just applied the same energy to being a father that he does to ego-driven mass slaughter

Sedric And Charlie

I kinda feel like this dude is going to end up in Ray’s cult…

Johnny Deans

I have never been so excited to see Ray absolutely fucking ruin everything for Pat before

Sedric And Charlie

And he actually succeeded in getting Todd to fire him and Teodor, so you know, silver linings

Matthew Harris

This was exactly my first thought

Matthew Harris

Ok now I just want to go get dinner from Big Bite.

Chris Martin

His Elegance is giving Great Outdoor Fight competitor

C.F. FROST

Didn't Ray buy a Kandinsky off Premium eBay and un-stretch it so he could use the canvas as a bedspread?

J Hardy Carroll

Is it weird that I think His Elegance looks like Ray’s mom? Is it intentional- did Pat plan this? Fuck Pat.

Jay Williams

Weirded out already.

Tom PM

having a flip phone in 2023 is the first thing i’ve ever seen that’s made me like pat

Cy Heffley

Of fucking COURSE Ray, media mogul, thinks that there's a way for his life to be slightly better, despite the fact that the last time he failed at literally anything was twenty years ago when calling Todd a piece of shit and telling him to fire them. And OF COURSE Pat, that stringent and ardent follower of broken systems with the hope that if he just propagates the system enough, he'll be rewarded as much as he thinks he should be, joins a cult. Go figure.

Bungus Bronbo

This was also main main question here. I can no longer recall anything else about this strip.

Bill Cameron

Don't like the look of this Baloney Ron guy. Real thick negative waves coming off him

Lonesome Cowpoke

SOON.

Michael Ryan

I am definitely going to use "I dabble in this world" the next time someone asks me how I know something.

EndgamerAzari

Lonely carrot grindin’ around in my belly

Doctor Link

Does Pat have to pay extra for service on a phone that stopped being manufactured in 2005?

braap

Not mushroom for debate here

Yelahneb Unicornucopiax

I can’t tell you how much I love your shit.
