Title: Animalicious!! (10-07-03)
Post by: Limmo on October 07, 2003, 04:13:35 am: There's nothing I love more than the cavalry coming to the rescue.

Strip (http://www.achewood.com/index.php?date=10072003).

Post by: bluebird_of_unhappiness on October 07, 2003, 04:16:39 am: Onstad has lost it. Oh man, great stuff. Beef's ensemble tops it all off.
Title: Animalicious!! (Oct. 7)
Post by: jough on October 07, 2003, 05:00:58 am: Beef is dressed in Devo garb a la 1982 and the "Whip It" video in particular.

My god. This is so fuck*ng good. The strip has gone off the deep end, and I'm ready to follow it.

And I was going to start a thread if there wasn't one already, and call it "Animalicious." Great minds think alike.

Well, ok, "What the Fuck?! (Oct. 7)" would have worked, too.

Post by: CortJstr on October 07, 2003, 01:17:42 pm: There's totally going to be a lot of strife in this band. It was clearly Teador's idea to form but now Beef is running things. Soon there will be animosity, then a downward spiral of drinking and drugs leading to a Behind the Music with Ray as the friend who tried to mediate but couldn't hold then together.

OK I can so picture that. That's become the second strip of the day in my head!
Thankyou, sincerely for all that imagery!

Post by: revdj on October 07, 2003, 02:14:25 pm: This is the first time in a while that I literally laughed out loud while reading the daily strip. I'm still smiling broadly. Score!
Title: Animalicious!! (Oct. 7)
Post by: jough on October 07, 2003, 04:07:44 pm: I just had to go back and read it again. There's much to love here.

I've always enjoyed sound effects in comics, and the squeak of the curtain rising cracked me up.

I'm surprised no one mentioned Téodor's hair and ripped shirt sleeves. He's so punk rock. You could not be more punk rock than Téodor is there.

Post by: bluebird_of_unhappiness on October 07, 2003, 04:15:44 pm: All good bands' drummers usually die prematurely, if Spinal Tap has taught us anything. I suppose this is the end of Phillipe.
Title: Animalicious!! (Oct. 7)
Post by: CortJstr on October 07, 2003, 04:27:41 pm: I like that neither Philippe nor Lyle had to change because they were already perfectly dressed for this.

Also, could Philippe look any happier than while he's drumming? I propose that he cannot.

And so do we!

Post by: slink on October 07, 2003, 05:23:58 pm: I wonder if Ray is going to sign Animalicious and we get to see their tour antics.

Post by: side_show on October 07, 2003, 05:46:35 pm: every time I look at the strip I hear devo in my head

Post by: AugustWest on October 07, 2003, 05:46:39 pm: Personally, I'm kinda touched by the gang's concern for Pat (and by extension Ray). It woulda been easy (and funny) to leave Pat up there on stage twisting in the wind. I guess That's What Friends Are For.

Post by: AlohaDawg on October 07, 2003, 06:14:21 pm: This RULES! First I got DEVO in my head, but now I keep seeing the musical finale from "Revenge of the Nerds". All we need is Mr Bear with a Mohawk playing an electic violin and blister and Todd joint poppin' and moonwalkin' and *****ing across the stage.

This strip is magic!

NO ON 15! NO ON 15!

Alright, so that was Nerds In Paradise, but I'm definitely there with ya, Dawg.

Dammit, now I have to go home and listen to the FenixTX song where they cover Lamar's rap from that scene.

AlohaDawg, look what you've done! (Double dammit! Now I also have to listen to Fatboy Slim - Michael Jackson)

Post by: V-Adore on October 07, 2003, 08:21:28 pm: Roast Beef as Devo is so perfect there aren't even words.

Just... this strip is fantastic. Wherever Onstad is going, I'm along for the ride.

That would be awesome man, but Onstad's not going on the wagon anytime soon.

Also, this strip kicked ass. It is all about the mohawk.
Title: Animalicious!! (Oct. 7)
Post by: V-Adore on October 09, 2003, 09:20:17 pm: It just occurs to me that "Animalicious" is really sort of an odd name for the band. I mean, this is the Underground -- everybody's an animal, so "Animalicious" doesn't really distinguish them. It's like... I dunno... naming a human rock band Mantastic (http://www.dieselsweeties.com/archive.php?s=761).

(Or maybe it is a direct allusion and I'm a moron.)
