Lots of possible titles here.... but lesbians are not necessarily funnier than other people.

Maybe not, but, with the brass Fallopian tubes, they don't have to be.
Also: in their cars, in private. Nice.

It's all about the eyebrows. And somewhat about Ray's mouth.
-
"An area for last things"... nice.
This arc got a hell of a lot better when the focus got away from strange Anglophilia and moved onto triple-switch betrayals and assumptions that just because a man is old, he's crazy.

Correct title = "some kind of argument with a picture of a skeleton".

Agreed.
You've gotta admit, burying a diskette with a boot sector virus is not a bad move1. Had the cops not been on the lookout for Nolan, this would hardly constitute probable cause for arrest.
1 I kept a virus infected disk once because I thought it was neat that code written by a Bulgarian had ended up on my computer. Naturally at one point I accidentally stuck that disk in the drive and reinfected the computer. I should probably have labeled it better, or indeed, buried it in the woods at midnight.

To me, this whole arc has a profound sense of "that'll do" about it. Just.. mediocre on every level. It gave me a few wan smiles, but I demand more from my free, internet-based, talking animal funnies.

Daaaaaaamn! Look who's bein' a dick about mediocrity!
But I agree. This arc is not my favorite.

No matter how good the comic gets, half the strips are still going to be below average.
B+ arc measured against good comics in general, C+ for achewood.

Well, duh.
Still and all, Achewood against other webcomics still comes out way above average.

Dawg!!!

No. Why do people say things like this? I even had a professor once claim that "half of you are below average intelligence". Really? What if Stephen Hawkings walked in the door? Or a person with down syndrome? I think the data would be skewed one way or the other. Average as a mean does not break down 50% below average and 50% above average.
-
But average as a median does, you should check his definition first.

It's all subjective - this has been my favorite set of strips in a very long time. I'm loving each one. Maybe it is because I'm over 40. But I've just been loving the holy heck out of them.
-
Yes, this is why. My MTV and pokemon-addled mind cannot handle the barest semblance of continuity and complete lack of explosions this arc has offered. You are closer to death, senility, and tech-ineptitude, and it speaks to you. (Please do not take this as a dick comment, I am very much kidding.)
But this arc definitely proves the whole different strokes thing.
-
Ever since the ChatSack arc I've found myself holding out this irrational hope that arcs like this will spin off on some awesome tangent. It seems paradoxical, but the less I am entertained by a story arc, the more disappointed I am to see it come to an end.
Of course, they're not quite out of the police station yet. There's still a small chance....
See? See? There I go again! I should know better by now.

I kind of like where this has gone, certainly way better than the initial super-british gags of the first week.
