Post by: Bobby Isosceles on December 24, 2008, 07:28:56 pm: Was Bank of America even around in 1981? (http://achewood.com/index.php?date=12242008)

This is so oddly, Achewood-ly touching. That Onstad, the holidays have made him into a sentimental fool.

It has become a comic about a baby.

Apparently (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_of_America).

I wonder where Showbiz is. Up to no good, I assume.

Post by: littlefallsmets on December 25, 2008, 02:40:29 am: It seems that the less traumatic parts of Roast Beef's childhood, the more normally and subtly depressing, were all scenes from the Richard Linklater film "Slacker".

Which is good enough for me.

Post by: herofix on December 25, 2008, 05:22:16 am: Another wonderful strip.

I heard next season is flashforwards! But you won't realise it until the strip is almost done and Lyle uses a vibrator that won't be released until 2012.

Showbiz doesn't seem to have a very firm foothold in the acheverse or in Beef's childhood. The childhood neuroses and trauma work out better for a single kid, I think.

Post by: littlefallsmets on December 25, 2008, 09:23:58 pm: Someone stole my VHS copy of "Slacker" waaaaay back in college.

I need to buy the Criterion set of it on DVD, someday.

Someday, you know, when I have money.

Post by: theinevitable on December 25, 2008, 09:28:44 pm: you can watch it for free, legally, on hulu.com
but it requires a registration because the movie is rated R.

I am a whore for the bonus stuff.

Post by: theinevitable on December 25, 2008, 10:23:14 pm: oh, I mean. But you can watch it if you have missed watching it. or something.

Colonel Ephraim: http://achewood.com/index.php?date=02212003

I would like to hear more about Ray's time of slavery and assisted pooping.

Post by: colmore on January 02, 2009, 03:44:11 pm: Judging from how things turned out, I'd posit that Showbiz had an even worse childhood than Beef.

Or else it was an equal start and Showbiz just didn't have the WIS or CHA to deal.

Post by: Lister on January 04, 2009, 11:29:30 pm: I think something in me is broken. I came away from reading that with the thought "Wait, area codes only used 0 or 1 in the middle until the mid 1990s."
