0019 - Ray and Pat in, "Road Trip," Pt. 3
Added 2023-09-08 17:00:06 +0000 UTC
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

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

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

"Whale". Marketing term. Excellent.

Nah dude. I think Pat is genuinely into it.

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

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?

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

2023-09-08 17:30:16 +0000 UTC
And he actually succeeded in getting Todd to fire him and Teodor, so you know, silver linings

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.

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.
