0017 - Ray and Pat in, "Road Trip," Pt. 1
Added 2023-08-25 17:00:05 +0000 UTCIn which two men of decreasingly clear friendship hastily decide to accompany one another on a journey that may reach beyond the comforts of reason. Or will a starving and cash-strapped Ray simply strangle a trebly-conflicted Pat in the parking lot at Chick-fil-A? You know it could go either way.
Comments
I first read "trebly-conflicted" as "trilby-afflicted," which made Ray's actions in this hypothetical future timeline seem a lot more reasonable.

2024-03-17 19:08:01 +0000 UTCThis Situation actually happened to me in 2021, I can only regret there was not an Achewood comic already in existence which could have taught me how to deal with cult recruitment tactics.

2023-08-28 21:14:24 +0000 UTCI find it kind of surprising that Ray’s never done shrooms before. I wouldn’t expect him to do it for Personal Development reasons or anything but for fun or in the studio or something at some point.

2023-08-28 14:16:27 +0000 UTCof COURSE Pat ended up at Also sprach Ramathustra

2023-08-27 19:30:28 +0000 UTCI don't think we've seen that "Pat smile" in panel 10 since he was kicking it with Hollandaise.

2023-08-26 17:55:05 +0000 UTCHigh School Van felt like it had one or two more installments left in it, but I've accepted we're probably not ever going to see them. As for Pat, he probably yammered on about "Trials of Honour" until the banjo abandoned him in an area.

2023-08-26 15:55:33 +0000 UTCI am never disappointed to see a Drug Odyssey episode in a story.

Shawn Warren
2023-08-26 13:32:37 +0000 UTCOh no
Ray
2023-08-26 13:30:56 +0000 UTCI've always loved the little glimpses of Pat not being a complete asshole, or at least being slightly justified in being a dick back to someone.

Nicholas Williams
2023-08-26 03:47:26 +0000 UTCI think that now it's hip it will serve as another avenue for his innate snobbery.
Andrew Gillies
2023-08-26 03:40:20 +0000 UTCLegit I would love to see this. There are two Achewood loose ends I've always wanted to see resolved: what happened after Ray's flashback to vomiting in his baseball cap, and where did the banjo take Pat
Sedric And Charlie
2023-08-26 00:48:50 +0000 UTCAt first I couldn't imagine Pat exploring hallucinogenics, but on consideration this does seem like the logical development for him. Though I don't know if doing shrooms before contemplating Dreamwheel And The Child is going to work out as intended
Sedric And Charlie
2023-08-26 00:41:46 +0000 UTCMan, why you even got to boof a thing.
Rob Dalton
2023-08-25 21:41:55 +0000 UTCOh this arc is gonna be something

2023-08-25 19:52:35 +0000 UTCI'm a copy editor and I didn't even notice that, that's how absorbed I was in the Klein-bottle topography of Pat and Ray's contorted friendship.
Oppido
2023-08-25 19:49:02 +0000 UTCYou spell trauma any which way you like, Ray. The good lord will provide.

Clue Bucket
2023-08-25 19:30:09 +0000 UTCOne time I boofed morels with a buncha witches. We didn't get high so much as I felt like a really weird Beef Wellington afterwards. Still would recommend. A+

Miles McMahon
2023-08-25 17:56:07 +0000 UTCI can't accurately describe how absolutely here I am for Ray going on a fucking mushroom retreat with Pat, so I offer a simple "this is a homeboy."
Nicholas Williams
2023-08-25 17:44:59 +0000 UTCLooking forward to this tale more than the Dune sequel

2023-08-25 17:36:25 +0000 UTCLaughed out loud throughout that second row of panels… just what I needed this Friday!
Thomas Williams
2023-08-25 17:35:00 +0000 UTCAs an honest-to-gosh Hindu holy-person myself, I cannot wait to hate Ramathustra Ron.

Linus Lee
2023-08-25 17:24:06 +0000 UTCAlso he wouldn’t move his bag because it was already there. Both are correct.
Chris Onstad
2023-08-25 17:20:05 +0000 UTCI am excited for the chance to get to know Ramathustra Ron
Chris Martin
2023-08-25 17:18:49 +0000 UTCIn which Ray Smuckles learns that he has a Crunchy Vegan Lady kink
Rob Satterfield
2023-08-25 17:17:41 +0000 UTCDoesn't anyone just go out of a summer's night and eat the shroomie guys straight from the cow poops anymore? Although I will say Pat's sincere little outburst of goodwill and smile are heartwarming.
