I totally empathize with Todd.

"Pussy nougat" is a great term.

I don't know if this turns around the mediocre state of this plotline but... headsasplodin' always helps.

However, I think you may've messed up the link.

Hmm indeed. I think that I rather like Onstad's take on an alive stuffed animal and cracked-out squirrel taking on the SNL comedy genre.

I believe I like this strip Okay if there will be more, but I will upgrade if it's the end of the plotline. Yes.

Though I appreciated the alt-text because I couldn't quite work out what was up with the art alone. At first I thought a burst of "pussy-nougat" had literally made an appearance, and I have no humor paradigm for dealing with that.

Further observations:

I've just realized I got the phrase "burst of pussy-nougat" (complete with hyphen, which isn't in the strip) from the general format of a line of shampoos I used in my youth. "Burst of Cherry-Almond" was one.

I don't listen to much classical, but I have been listening to a Bach motet during this reading and posting process and it is pretty much perfectly inappropriate.




Lately it seems that all Achewood does is remind me of childhood things.

So wait, if Téodor's doing impressions on screen, then who's manning the camera? (ooooOOOOoooo...)

EDIT: Oh wait, never mind, the camera's on a tripod, a remote-controlled rotating one apparently.
