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.

Thank you for the phrase “Cornelian Slap”
Lionstooth
It is helpful for the bear to have a side hustle, in this economy
Guilherme Töws
you can't rely on idiots being interested in self-actualization, though

Also 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

Glove-slap as near-compliment
Josh Egbert
Ray is going to end up with a Reputation
Tom PM
ah hee, hee, hee!
Mike Crotch - Harvey
Ray knows when he's been beat.

There'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.

It 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!
Aaron J. Rushton
Getting Ray to shut the fuck up is satisfaction met.
John Ashton
A glove slap and yet no demands for satisfaction? Most unbecoming! (choose any upper class accent you would like to apply to the above.)
Omurice
Run mad as often as you choose, but do not faint….
Ola Leier
Oh 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.
Julie (HiDeeHoGal)
It'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.
Christopher Malone
The sip before he negotiates foe 3 is classic.

Reminds 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.
“Cool Mayonnaise” Hank Spurlock
Some ice cold classic ass shit right here. Cheers.
Matthew Harris
This is going to escalate to the point where they're going to have to spend some time apart
Matt Mitchell
gol (guffaw)
J Hardy Carroll
Connie 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.
Aaron G. Stock
IN WHICH Cornelius Demonstrates the Art of Escalating Fibonacci Negotiation. A clever person discounts for the second, a genius doubles.
Bungus Bronbo
And growing up around seven concurrent conversations by three people (I'm assuming in different voices) gives depths to Achewood's character
Hunter
The MAN PREPARED REMARKS
Zen Window
connie reflecting that in his day hed have to pay for the privilege of slapping idiots but somehow that calculus has shifted in the intervening years
Bungus Bronbo
Damn, Connie really has had it figured out since presidents smoked on TV
Tom Simmons
Get that doodie outta him, Connie!!
Yelahneb Unicornucopiax
Cornelius got that old school savvy
