God damn roller skate.
Who knows, maybe Téodor will find a Molly of his own now.

Sounds like Teodor needed to heed the words of C. Everett Koop (http://www.drkoop.com/ency/93/001983.html). Next time, Teodor, next time.
I find your smoking ... most disturbing.

No one survives Breast Attack on Fuck Mountain. Not even Téodor.
Wait, the roller skate has been involved in or a witness to how many deaths again?
-
Actually we might find out whether heaven is still even there, or at least get to see trouble man and no no again.
Toddster: Excepting beef's suicide and ray's tofutti cutie fatalaty because they weren't violent deaths I think most of them, he (it, I'm characterising a roller skate) was there for Beef's first two (first time ray slipped, the second time phillipe was wearing it), it was in the background for cornelius's shooting, and of course it was responsible for the french fry.

We covered this, back in the Dumbrella days I think; the roller skate is the equivalent of the oranges in the Godfather movies.
-
Mmm I'm aware of the symbolism, I was just summarising which deaths it was there for.
-
Serializer has what I believe is the only non-fatal roller skate appearance on record. Although Ray does look like he's going down on Beef, which is even worse.
Teodor gets wings? Nobody else got wings! Maybe they fall off once you actually reach heaven. Ooo, or they're extendable like cats' claws.

The serializer one was fatal: what died was Ray's last shreds of heterosexuality.

How the hell is this thread not titled "breast attack on fuck mountain?" What the hell people. What. the. hell.

This would explain some things.
Anyway, I approve of this wholeheartedly. At least "Teodor in Heaven" should be a different arc, and it was about time that someone other than Beef drew the short straw.
Also, has there ever been a more embarrassing death?
-
Awesome. I am a big fan of internal consistency.

I just realized that this will be our first stuffed animal death. All previous deaths have been of beings that were alive in the traditional humans-were-aware-of-it sense.
-
Indeed - we don't even know if stuffed animals go to the same heaven! New theological ground is being broken here. The ramifications could be far-reaching!
-
Remember when we used to feel BAD when a character died?
-

Isn't Teodore gay? I know he had a thing for Penny way back when, but after what Philippe found under his pillow... I guess I'm in doubt about Teodor's orientation.
He is good with graphics, too.
-
Since when did owning a toy make you gay? Or are you talking about something else?
Remember when we used to feel BAD when a character died?
Yeah, Achewood is changing the way I see fiction. Now death is something awesome.
-
I can see Teodor digging heaven, just all white rooms and stuff, like being on the inside of an apple computer or something. Not sure why I assume Teodore would like apples, probably a graphic design association.
It was this weird rubber thing that looked kind of like a flashlight, but at the light bulb end it had this weird pink smile-type shape, with a hole in the middle!
Not sure if this is different to what you mean Null but I don't know if that makes him gay, maybe I'm misreading the description.
EDIT: And for that matter he's watching 'Breast attack on Fuck Mountain'
-
where did the bottle come from?
-
Remember when we used to feel BAD when a character died?
I was just thinking about all the amusement I've gotten out of various character deaths, yet I remember being actually worried about Phillipe during the Super Secret Ice Cream Shack episode.
I guess accidental death = funny, serial murder = not funny.
-
I might be alone on this, but although serial murders of known characters aren't funny (though I'd be more than happy to for Onstad to pull off a funny serial killing of a main character) nice Pete's story's about his murders are. I particularly like his trip to the dentist.
-
Isn't Teodore gay?
I've always thought of Teodore as bi-curious. f'rinstance
http://www.achewood.com/index.php?date=05142003
There are others but I don't have time to find them right now.
-
I think I would be totally cool with someone commiting the serial murder act on Pat. I mean, Nice Pete's RIGHT THERE.
-
Why does Teodor have a claw on his thumb? He's a stuffed animal.
-
Well I guess if the bottle cap didn't get him, Breast Attack on Fuck Mountain would have.

How the hell is this thread not titled "breast attack on fuck mountain?" What the hell people. What. the. hell.
But it is good to see a title that is not alt text or a punchline.
-
Any bets that this will lead to a strip that is basically just Philippe crying for n panels, where n = the number of panels in the strip? Onstad does like drawing Philippe in tears, even if it's often physically painful to the audience.

The fact is that Phillipe is fundamentally retarded and only funny when bad things happen to him.

I suppose my love of the term "fuck mountain" is too blinding for me to see beyond.
-

You people all know what this is, right? I don't have to spell it out, right? I'd consider this a fairly heterosexual device.

Well, if it's shaped like a mouth, that mouth could be of either gender. I'm just sayin'.
Also, Tommy Toroid has never been more wrong than he is right now. This is all.
-
Yeah, we had a discussion about it before. The Fleshlight, I think, was the concensus.

It was spelled out pretty well already (http://achewood.plagiarist.com/viewtopic.php?t=1809&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=44).

I would say it was quite the punchline. The perfect Todd line. So, well done. Good title.
Although you're right, "breast attack on fuck mountain" is pretty fuck*ng perfect.

Holy crap!
Anyone else notice how that bottle of Grolsch just appears out of nowhere in panel five?
-

I got the impression that when he got up to put the tape in the VCR he also got himself a beer.
-
oh never mind

No, it's there right after he looks at the video cover. Good call!
Something sinister is going on. Someone planted that bottle. PAT! Fucker.
Edit: Also, notice the toilet paper? That means a bottle of lotion is somewhere nearby.

Oh. I hadn't got the impression that he had even gotten up yet. I thought he was still just holding the box in his hand in panel five.
-
Notice how he's not present in panel 6? Instead, there's a "CLICK wrrr" top right.
Yeah, that'd be Téodor putting the tape in the VCR. And, as I believed until arlucasinc (and arkabee first) pointed out, gone to the kitchen to get the fateful beer.
-
where did the bottle come from?
Oh wow. I totally missed this the first time through. I even scanned the thread to see if it had been mentioned already.
I'm a dolt.
-
Why does Teodor have a claw on his thumb? He's a stuffed animal.
I was going to ask this EXACT THING!

I've seen stuffed animals with tiny claws. Usually made of vinyl or some kind of stiffer fabric and sometimes plastic.

This strip is a perfect demonstration of why you should only drink Grolsch in those big brown bottles with the funky resealable caps that you can use as a stone.
It's all about safety people!

i did one of those things where i write an entire post and then realize how bad it is and not post it about a couple of things but the bottle thing bothered me so much i posted that one anyways.
but now that several other people have posted about some of those things, i'm going to do my best to badly post about the things that were bugging to begin with.
1- the biggest thing that is bugging me is that any inconsistencies are bugging me. i like the comic strip and i'm not being critical i'm just confused.
2- why is T so depressed he's singing/strumming Joy Division songs to himself, alone, on a couch? the only thing that made me more sadder (in both senses of the word) than listening/singing along to Joy Division songs was to do the same to Swans songs.
3- but then, he is happy to see porn. so, i guess he wasn't suicidal, he was just down and commiserating with depressing music. but, you aren't really suicidal when porn grabs your attention.
4- if he makes an "ugfh" sound REACHING TO THE COFFEE TABLE isn't he about 2 cheese eggmcmuffins away from dying anyways? wtf T? it's called moving around a little bit every once in a while.
5- i concur with Va and whatnot, what's with his nail? that's freaking creepy.
6- at first i thought it was a dvd and not a tape, but then i figured out the click whiir sound was the vcr and not him doing something in the kitchen.
7- the bottle comes out of nowhere. he's reaching for porn, no bottle. you see porn and scary finger/nail. then, bottle.
now, is he looking to his right to see if anyone is around because he doesn't want to be snuck up on putting porno in, or is he looking at the bottle?
um, that is all.
-
congratulations. the humor died when the analysis came to town. it was shot in front of the saloon and EVERYBODY saw. even the babies.
but really is this an accident? what if this stays unresolved like Pat getting banjoed? gosh, that would suck shit.
edit: redeem thyself, Onstad!
-
Hm.. I was completely confused till I came to the forum and remembered Teodor was supposed to die today...
I still was confused about what all was goin' on before he dropped dead for a bit till I realised the cap killed him.
All I know is that I hope heaven is shown again... wonder if it'll look any different since the burning..? hm.

My mistake. Never have I laid eyes upon a brown bottle of Grolsch.
Also, a Hypothesis: perhaps the bottle was a Deus Ex Machina placed by the ever-scheming and death-hungry rollerskate.

the wet blanket said that analysis killed the humor, and yet mnsr. choopernickel proves that not to be the case.
have we ever seen the OTHER rollerskate?
would seeing the other rollerskate foreshadow the coming of the apacolypse?
we know that sentient footwear is justifiable within achewood. is it not feasible that the most diabolic of all would be used by Sonic CarHops?
-

In serializer Ray wears two, but it's never made clear if that's another pair or The Skate of Doom and its mate. Or perhaps the mate is The Skate of Life and they cancel each other out when together.

Does this actually happen? I mean, I've read that Sonics are full of rollerskating carhops, but EVERY single carhop at EVERY single Sonic I've gone to in this area just walk.

yes.
-
We have both skating and non-skating Sonic carhops here.
-
We don't have any Sonics around here, even though they show ad on Philly TV constantly.
YOU'RE WASTING YOUR MONEY IN A MARKET IN WHICH YOU DO NOT COMPETE, ENEMA BAGS!
-
Wow... I feel so... deprived.
Of course, I'd also been to Sonic about ten times before I realized you're supposed to tip the carhops, so...
-

Ditto for DC. See also, Checkers (although I heard there's one of those somewhere near College Park)
-
A "Fleshlight" huh? I'm a bit afraid to Google that. And I probably should have rendered Philippe's description into 3dsMax to get a better picture. Instead, I read it quickly and assumed badly. I won't do that again!
Also, if I have questions or am confused, I will check this forum for answers and clarity.
Thanks everyone!

There's a Checkers' in Rockville at Gaither and Shady Grove.

We don't have Sonics or Sonic commercials here in Pittsburgh. I guess the closest thing we'd have would be... Steak N' Shake? But there are no carhops there whatsoever, neither the skating or perambulatory variety.
-

I did, and, to paraphrase V, hitched the TMI train to San Francisco (well, someone else's train). It was quite an experience.

yes.
I think the rollerskaters get a better wage, but they aren't required to rollerskate. Or so I've heard.
And you're supposed to tip them? Actually, I think I knew that. But you know what I hate? Fast food workers (the ones that stand behind the counters) that expect tips. Like when the tip line is on the receipt when you pay with your credit card, and if you don't want to tip you have to write a big fat zero and feel like a total dick, or else be afraid they will add it in. When I worked at Subway in high school, we weren't allowed to even have a tip cup. Which was fine, it's not like we did anything to deserve a tip.

I have to preface this by saying: when it's called for, I am motherfuckin' Captain Tipping, simply because (a) the people have increased my enjoyment of a situation (b) I know they make, pre-tips, a wage so skint it ought to be fuck*ng illegal, and (c) I am amazed, really amazed, that the people do so for forty-plus hours a week whereas I could do it for, perhaps, three tops before putting a bread knife right through someone's selgiraffe, flapping hand.
But yeah, I do feel uncomfortable and irritated when I'm prompted to tip in an unorthodox situation. Example: I call the Chinese take-out joint, place an order, and go and pick it up myself. The beige ballcap-wearing, jaw-jutting fratty drones behind the register (and ain't that some cognitive dissonance - the people handing over my ethnic cuisine are probably named Thad and Trey) actually have the audacity to have placed a fuck*ng tip jar there, all decorated all sincere-like (most likely by some artsy chick they met over a Solo cup full of Milwaukee's Best in exchange for like thirty minutes of attention) with smile-faces and nudgy-nudgy doodled arrows. I've got half a mind to say, look, dipshit, anyone who comes in here is picking up their own damn food, which basically makes you like any other retail jockey. I've worked more hours in retail than you've spent paying attention in English class, you callow little shit, and I never once expected nor received a tip.
Pat Reynolds? Fuckin' amateur.
-
Zart, you get a gold star.
-

Two, and a :) face.
I should have mentioned that I tip well, too, especially considering that I make shit an hour. Don't want anyone thinking I'm a stingy bastard or anything. Jough, your's is coming. Just you wait.
I currently work retail, and once, I did get tipped. Some kid who I had been helping told me to keep the change which amounted to, oh, nine cents. It was a sweet gesture (he was like ten or eleven) but of course I turned it down. And I bust my ass much harder than the kids at Carl's Jr. who will maybe meet me halfway to give me my tray. After I get my own drink and napkins.
