I really couldn't figure out the right title for the thread though.
-
Classic A-wood for me, like walking into the middle of a conversation that makes no sense but is just awesome as hell.
Also can we get Besington Butters as one of the rankings?
-
We definitely need a ranking for AKKOLADE, or at least for his skeleton.
My thought about this strip: "Wait, if Ray is the size of a regular cat, isn't that a crazy-tiny owl? How cute would that owl be if compared to a human? Eeeek!"
-

Definitely... AKKOLADE's Skeleton!
(I just wanted to write that is all... It looks so good.)
Is it wrong that I've always secretly wanted a crazy-tiny owl?
-
Does that owl look really pissed, or is it just Onstad's rendering?
Anyway, my props to misterqueue for eerily foreshadowing this. (http://touamb.com/index.php/topic,3034.msg73133.html#msg73133)
Also, AKKOLADE's jacket over his shoulders immediately reminded me of Chris Christmas Rodriguez. (http://www.wiggerl.com/ccr/)
-
I hate it when a strip ignores me.
-
that owl should have been huge, man.
it could have been a contender.
-
Ray's thing should have been Armor of God PJ's. (http://www.armorofgodpjs.com/)
-
Bensington Butters should be more... a 1920's Captain of Industry. All wearing a top hat and monocle. All oppressing the people.
Or maybe Bensington Butters: Man of Adventure! All hanging from a helicopter. All saving the orphans from the shark/ape fight happening right in the cafeteria.
Basically that name has hell of possibilities but not Nancy Drew at press conferences is all I am saying.
Also, I contend that AKKOLADE's mouth is less a mouth and more of some sort of Loony Tunes Mountain Tunnel cica 1956.
Sincerely,
Q

It's all about the eyebrows.

Heh, I had forgotten about that. Thank you. Though really that just reminds me I shouldn't post in head hurty states.*
* Also, cocks.
-
AKKOLADE reminds me of Marlon Brando in his later days. And then I imagine him as Truckosaurus, saying "You crazy car, I don't know whether to kiss you or eat you!"

I think the owl looks pissed. Delightfully, adorably pissed.
-
Jesus Christ on a bike, I am terribly sorry that I read that strip. Something about Akkolade CREEPS ME THE HELL OUT. AUUUUGH
-
maybe the owl is so pissed because he is tiny.
I'm sorry, I really don't care, I just feel like mentioning this a large number of times.
and yes, Akkolade is horrifying.
-
I thought Bensington Butters was supposed to be really proud of his eyes. So proud that he has a codicil in his contract stating you must look at his eyes. Now I don't know but wearing sunglasses don't seem to be saying I am prouod of my eyes.
-

His skeleton?

1. Acquire owl.
2. ???????????
3. Profit.
It actually seems plausible. I have just thought of numerous situations where an owl would cause prosperity... but at a moral cost.
Anyway, what about Ben and AK? Do you think these gimmicks would prove to be successful marketing in today's music industry? I'd say probably so. The Nancy Drew Stonewall is interesting, but it would have to be done by a rap artist and he would have to read it angrily - not laid back like Bensington seems to think he can get away with - it must be menacing. However, the press conference would need a large audience of exposure, and I do not believe this is the case with press conferences in today's industry. The faux-lip sync from an overweight man would also probably be successful, most strongly in a Star Search-type setting or Showtime At The Apollo. Additionally, the man would have be sweating during the performance, and must be slightly out of breath at the end. On second thought, this would probably be a failure, technically, since the outlet is not mainstream enough to reach the desired exposure. The idea would not be go over in a music video, never surpassing cult status.
My vote: ND Stonewall - plausible.
Lip Syncin' Hammy - failure.
-
Ah, but there are tiny owls. I've seen Tawny Owls at the zoo, and they are quite small, about the size of a pigeon. They're very cute, and I have a friend named Tawny, which is why I remember them. It is possible, size wise anyway.
Also, yes - that owl looks pissed, but wouldn't you be pissed?
Also, Ray standing next to an owl is like Goofy standing next to Pluto, I mean, WTF?
-

Tiny Owl! (http://www.flickr.com/photos/misterqueue/185663210/in/set-72157594192998869/)
It can fit in your palm I swear! Shame about that damned Tapetum Lucidum though.

He didn't foreshadow it. Onstad got the idea from reading the forum.
-
This strip completes me.
Let me just say that I love owls. I love owl.
everyday is owl?

Or more specifically from reading ME BABY! WHO'S THE TOUGH GUY NOW, WORLD?! </Zoidberg>

So, so wonderful. ;D

Thank you, sir, for mentioning the only thing to ever come out of 4chan that is not a hideous, festering offense against God and man.
I, too, like owls.
That's all.

Sorry, but it's not a tiny owl unless you have to put it next to a coin or paperclip for scale. That would be a tiny owl.

Dude, I have no idea why he scares me so much, but Akkolade is just fuckin' creepy.
A Tawny, tiny owl is an awesome description. Also, smells, you have a friend named Tawny? Was her sister named Ruby? Were her parents big fans of Port? Yikes.
-
Tawny is a common Chinese name for girls, so sadly no, her brother and sister both have non-exciting names unrelated to colour.
Akkolade is puffed up. Puffed up, like and owl.
-
Of the affected eccentricities, Ray's seems kind of weak. I mean, it's an owl. A small, very angry looking owl but an owl all the same.
Bensington's Nancy Drew reading could work, but it can come off a bit too obviously affected, instead of the genuine eccentriticy of music label genius. Akkolade, while frightening, suffers from an extreme case of trying way too hard. This is the equivilent of the guy at college who tops off his everyday wearing of a top hat by placing bright, colorful feathers in the band, and then maybe replacing the band with a custom band made of silver conchos.

We don't know what happens with the owl yet.
-
Owls cannot move their eyes inside their sockets. That owl has mexican magical realism.
