So twisted and hilarious I'm not even going to bother to find a Swedish video.

Wow.

Whisky. Tango. Foxtrot.

My theory is that Onstad heard that song "James Brown is Dead" and thought, "hmmm, Charlie Brown ... is Dead!"

I couldn't believe it wasn't a dream. Or alcohol-induced halucination. Let's break this one down.

Tiny legs: awesom
Redhead girl reference: awesome
Egyptian emperor: awesome
Bad news to CB: extra awesome
Lack of traditional CB shirt: slightly confusing

This is so terrifying, I present to you Merry Christmas, R2-D2 (http://mike.13th-floor.org/christmas.mp3). Please note that the lead male (?) vocal is in fact Jon Bon Jovi.

Time to trot out the tried and true:

"Good ol' Charlie Brown. How I hate him." (http://www.citypages.com/databank/25/1229/article12244.asp)

I guess you can't blame Ray for never knowing how things like that are supposed to go. I'd be clueless in that situation, too. I might just avoid the whole "telling a nine year old that they are dead" thing in the first place.

Great thread title Bobby.

Great strip Chris!

Cf. The Marmaduke/Garfield/Cathy series -- is this strip an indicator of Onstad's greater respect and affection for Sparky?

I like how Charlie Brown looks like Charlie Brown but also looks Achewoodish.  Sort of like he went through a faulty teleporter with Phillipe.

Kind of like a few years ago when the artists of a bunch of comics switched for April Fools so we had Dagwood-Garfield.

Dagwood-Garfield.

That sounds like a sandwich with many different types of cats on it.  Or lasagnes.  Or something.

What I'm wondering -- possibly because this was one of my all-time favorites -- is whether Achewood experienced a spike in activity on that date from people reloading it several times throughout the day, just to read it.  Didn't we talk about the same thing happening for the fluff my hog (http://www.achewood.com/index.php?date=11122004) strip, or am I imagining things?

I have converted at least a dozen people to Achewood with this strip.
