"I look like some guy who chooses fonts for a living."

Excellent.

Strip (http://www.achewood.com/index.php?date=08112003).

I must concur.  Funniest line in weeks.  Almost makes up for the lack of a Friday strip.  Almost.

Presenting the Ultimate Hot or Not List 2k3

HOT: Pretending you're going to vote for Gary Coleman in California's recall election
NOT: Bitch-whining about Onstad's lack of adherence to schedule instead of keeping your damn fool mouth shut after saying something complimentary

So, back to the actual strip at hand...

This is more or less beautiful, yeah. Probably my favorite detail is the final panel: not just the lovely brain diagram (who says Onstad doesn't draw anything anymore?) but the fact that, even though Beef says he'd be smiling, he's fairly clearly not. Even in his bizarre alterno-Beef fantasies, Beef has existential dislike of himself.

I'm curious to see where Onstad takes this. Will Beef actually go through with it? Will it work? Will Ray, who seems to be having lady troubles of his own lately, get jealous?

Well, I suppose I'm just NOT then.  Pardon me for expressing my disappointment.  For the record, I complain when I don't get enough sex from my wife, too.  Even if I've had sweaty/incredible/yikes/wow fuckin' the night before.

So, I suck.  Thanks for pointing it out.

That actually hadn't occurred to me before, and as I look at it now, it causes me to smile anew.

I like Beef’s expressions. Although his face is simple, his emotions are clear.

I'm hoping a dude tries to pick up Beef while he's dressed like that and he's all "I told you so" on Ray and Teador.

As a person who is a few thousand miles away from his SO and likely to be in this same boat for 6 - 9 months I have to say that this is not a good thing. If you are getting sweaty/incredible/yikes/wow fuckin' I think you should be thanking your wife, not complaining - and, indeed, she should also be thanking you.

Well, in two weeks time.  Mrs. West and I will have been married 15 years.  Needless to say, my previous post was entirely based on historical data.

Congratulations Mr. West, that's quite an accomplishment.  What is 15 years BTW, isn't that Balsa Wood or Oragami?

Sorry, i'm jealous and bitter because I just Lost my Girlfriend of 6 years (http://www.paulmcrae.com/FEATURES/PORTRAIT/PAGES/Main.htm).

I'm pretty sure that the 15th is the Vodka anniversary.
