Seriously, I think we should start a subforum to discuss this comic. The guy has recently quit his job to do the comic full time, but he STILL doesn't update every day! What could be more perfect for us?
-
I like this strip, I think it's headed somewhere special.
-
I want to know what else happened at The Party.
-
Daisy Owl is awesome. My favorite is the one where Steve and that other bear talk about getting high.
-
I like this strip very very much. I just read the whole archive instead of studying for a philosophy exam.

We have labelled the garbage disposal switch with a sticker of a blowgiraffe so that this doesn't happen anymore.
-
I would be afraid to touch a picture of a blowgiraffe. Does that mean there is something wrong with my mind, or is this normal?

Growing up I not only wouldn't touch pictures of spiders in text books, I also would touch the other side of the page where the picture was.
-
Well, we did choose the blowgiraffe because of all the stickers we had in the house, despite a large range of choices, it was the only one that depicted something sort of dangerous. So I was actually hoping we'd be sort of afraid to touch it.
-
If Ash blocks everyone's avatar, does that mean he can't see the little line of text under it, too? 'cause otherwise I don't see how this could be surprising.
-
Actually, I do all sorts of dangerous things, according to an article I read in Consumer Reports.
Here are the things I do that they say I shouldn't:
-Clean my ears with cotton swabs
-Slow down at a stop sign without coming to a full stop
-Leave things on the stairs at home
-Eat raw cookie dough
And the things I don't do that I should:
-Eat burgers only well done
-Unplug the toaster oven when not in use
When I wrote about this on my blog a while ago, the second list was longer, but I just bought a mat for my bathtub, so there goes that bit of living on the edge.
-
My dad was drilling in the garage ceiling for hanging fluorescent fixtures. He left the drill on the top of the ladder for a moment to go turn off the electricity. At the bottom of the ladder he stepped on the extension cord and tugged the drill off its perch, bit-first into his forearm. That would have been bad enough, but then the drill continued in gravity's grip to tip over and fall to the floor. The embedded drill bit levered out some cords of forearm muscle through the wound. Finally, he was home alone, so he had to drive his impaled, avulsed self to the emergency room.
-
For Pete's sake, Ash, you flaunt your nailgun, when you have gun guns? And hosss!
-
You're right. For example, apparently none of us pay enough attention to the danger of tripping over our dogs and cats. (http://animalsbehavingbadly.blogspot.com/2009/03/pets-underfoot-more-than-just-annoyance.html)
-
Any hamburger cooked past medium is a crime.
Also: I like the Daisy Owl vibe.
"Maybe Daisy can help, she's a whiz with computers."
"Not really. I just have glasses."
"Oh. Right."
It's kind of a neat world they inhabit.
-
I like how many of the jokes are about stereotypes.
"(assumes the bear will be good at honey research)"
"just because i'm a bear doesn't mean I know about honey!"
"oh, but you also have a master's degree in chemistry."

I'm glad I don't have one of those. It's probably better not to know.
-
I've read through the archives. Now I demand more frequent updates. Now!

Did you notice the alt-text? If not now you have an excuse to read the archives again.
-
Aw jeez you're kidding... no, I see you're not.
Oh well, just like old times!
-
For those with Greasemonkey installed there's an updated script to automatically show the alt-text as a caption for Achewood, Dinosaur Comics, A Softer World, Dr. McNinja, Wondermark, XKCD, and Daisy Owl. I'd be lost without it.

Cort is definitely beating us all, although I haven't yet figured out what that game is called.
-
I thought Mr. Owl was like fifty, because he's an owl, but then I remembered he's the same age as Steve, so he must be pretty young, like 30. he just looks old because he's an owl.
-
Now I want to spray somebody with a fire extinguisher.

Damn. It took a while but this comic has grown on me. I loved this one: http://www.daisyowl.com/comic/2008-07-21

Swallowing a whole pineapple would make you quite the attraction at parties.

Hork Hork Hork

See, I thought that was the noise from when things went the opposite direction.
Have they addressed owl pellets?
-
I guess they're about to
-
Not only is this a great strip, it was preceded for several hours by a note 'strip coming later tonight.' I just feel so at home.

I'm quite sure this is exactly the kind of nonsense that bees talk. In all caps.
-
They're right you know. Bees do friggin' rock.

Like Todd. But with less profanity and drug use (as far as we know).

Link Fix'd
Awesome, it's always nice to see that our pursuit to make ourselves obliterated is not what separates us from the animals.
-
I am so happy.
-
Link still not working?
-
I fixed it within the quote in my comment. If you click on that one, it should work.

Oops! Thanks.

And, related, a new tshirt.
http://www.daisyowl.com/store/beeshirt.php (http://www.daisyowl.com/store/beeshirt.php)
-
I have got to have that shirt.
I love bees so much.
-
Also, I am reminded of a cartoon from Private Eye on a similar theme. I can't find it online but if you imagine that <''D represents a flying, stinging insect it basically went:
A SPOTTER'S GUIDE TO BEES AND WASPS
BEES
<''D QUEEN
<''D DRONE
<''D WORKER
WASPS
<''D EVIL
<''D EVIL
<''D EVIL
All this leads me to ask: why isn't there a well-known website where you can draw a sketch in a little applet and be provided with a link to a .jpg of it to post on the internet forum of your choice?
-
Impressive and disgusting!

It's a battle of wills. I say the owl wins.

That shirt has me really tempted to break my $15 shirt cost limit.

So much of our social education comes down to "don't shit yourself" or "heaven forbid other people find out you actually poop."
There is an image that I will not post out of general decency. Many of you have probably already seen it. But, link (http://imagechan.com/images/71cf186293891c3115fe22dfafb9bf73.jpg).
Do any of you use a reverse image search engine? If you do, what is it? I use http://tineye.com/ (http://tineye.com/), and it's pretty simple and awesome. The biggest thing to change my internet lately.
-
Whoa, I never even heard of such a thing. I could use that.
-
This "reverse image search engine" is an entirely new concept for me.
The first image I put in was pornographic, and the second was of a space ship. I immediately realized that my entire personality can be extrapolated from that.

Everyone is at least a little bit afraid of cheese.

-
In today's strip, cheese could be a metaphor for so many things.
-
The strip with Steve going to buy cheese had no effect on me whatsoever. I couldn't relate to it. And then, yesterday, I had to buy a cell phone for the first time. Now the strip touches too close home.

Highly specific nutrients.

If they'll wear Onassis glasses, Juicy #####, or anything with that Swar-whatever glass in it then they'll wear just about anything.
-
I want to be immortal just so I can live in one of those futures where everybody is naked.
-
Yeah, but you'd end up with the Twilight Zone twist and everyone in Naked Future would look like Joe Biden.
Just miles and miles of naked Joe Biden.
-
And the only way they could reproduce would be through hot Biden-on Biden action? The novelty value on that would be pretty high, actually. It would take, like, way longer than an hour for that to stop being entertaining.
-
Which is more disturbing, though?
Naked Biden or Naked Biden-in-every-way-except-a-completely-out-of-place-pu$$y?

Damnit I'd managed to resist this comic because it looked just quirky and snarky for the sake of it and I already read Cat and Girl but this one might have tipped me over.
-
Oh, it's nothing like Cat and Girl! Cat and Girl is a world where the glass might be half empty on a really good day. The mood of this strip couldn't be more different.
-
This is a comic about beans (http://daisyowl.com/comic/2009-05-19)
-
It's beans all the way down.
-
Why just now I was reading a text on Pythagoras that said he never ate beans? Why did this text contain the lyrical excerpt
"Beans, beans, musical fruit,
The more you eat the more you toot"?
I think I'll call Nicolas Cage (http://www.cracked.com/blog/lets-play-nicolas-cage/).
-
I just wanna know: What more do you need than the noble bean?
Boobs.
I... I thought this went without saying.
-
Well, beans WERE a staple of the Israelites...
-
Thank you for the gift of Nicolas Cage. But what does that have to do with Pythagoras? I mean, is it the math angle?
-
Oh, it's just that it seems that Nicolas Cage is the guy to go to for these types of crappy mystery shenanigans. Pythagoras is definitely material for one of those. But really, I just thought it was apropos of the bean topic, some say he wouldn't even walk through a patch of beans. What would be "fear of beans"? Faba... phobia? Phaco? My dead languages don't exist.

I have finally determined that a Guide to Bees shirt is worth more to me than twenty-four dollars. This is probably because I just got a royalty check, but still. Twenty-four dollars for a shirt, people.

-
Twenty-four dollars for a shirt, people.
That does include $5 shipping. Is this really that excessive? Achewood shirts are $18. I can't find out how much shipping is from the new store, but I assume it would be something similar.
You want to bitch about price, try buying from overseas with devalued currency. If I wanted that same shirt I would have to part with 37 of my dollars.
-
Oh man that is so many dollars.

That is so creepy.
In the comments the cheese vendor is described as a "cheese monger". I would like to be some kind of monger. That sounds like a rewarding career path. Of what could I be a monger? Cola? Sweater vests? Cookies?
-
The comments are sometimes even better than the strip, amazingly.
This was comic is one of my favorites, and then when I looked at the thread below it, somehow it was even funnier.

I know how both Steve and the cheesemonger feel. We've all been on both sides of that transaction at different times.

Well, that's what long red lights are for.
-
I wonder if it was that particular red light that Roxanne was putting on.
Maybe that's why Sting was so driven to save her from her life of harlotry that evening.
I mean, being a whore is bad enough but a bear picking his nose and screaming about it.
It probably put him over the top.
-
That song, man. It's like, he only wants to help the one hooker he loves, and all of her friends can just eat it, is that what's going on? He doesn't have to start a community outreach program or anything, but he can at least talk to them. Maybe the other girls want to hear the nice song you wrote, you know?
-
Wait a minute. A grownup can pick their nose whereever and whenever they want? I have a lot of catching up to do.

I thought the biggest thing about growing up was realizing that only like 10 people give a shit about what you do. And even with them it's only the big things.
Oh, and the police, depending on who you are. (i originally typed ate, ha.)

Sadly, these were 'Merican style biscuits, maybe familiar as a scone to Commonwealth folks.

My turn, my turn *jumps up and down*
I had bone scraped off from the mandible (so that it could be used someplace else in me mouth, see). So they had to cut my gums open and then hammer the shit out of the bone with a chisel. One dentist would hold my mandible with his fingers, forcing it like if it was a jammed file cabinet drawer, while the other went DING DING DING (with the hammer and chisel). My eyeballs kept bouncing inside my skull (which I wasn't aware could produce creaking sounds). It lasted two hours, and the only thing that kept me (sort of) composed was thinking: "Man, myself from one year from now will be so lucky for not being here! I really gotta stick around for that time when I'm no longer auditioning for a part in Hellraiser..."

What is it with all the unpredictable guys updating their comics frequently this week?
-
My bee shirt is here! I am happy.
-
Hey there guys, thanks for reading. And thanks for supporting the comic, Lister.
-
You're welcome. Keep up the good work.
Seconded.
-
I don't want to say too much but if we keep seeing this kind of hard work maybe someone will have their own official, unofficial message board one day.
-
Jeeze, even I was on my good behaviour.
Don't think we didn't notice.
-
You're welcome. Keep up the good work.
I'm really digging it, and this coming from a guy who hasn't been able to stay with any webcomic, with two exceptions, for more than like a week. I can't deal with another board, though.
-
Wow. That was so meta.
I'm going to wear the bee shirt to our fan event. Maybe it'll spread the word. Of bees.

does wearing an achewood shirt to an achewood event be equal to wearing a band shirt to said band show?
-
It definitely would, but the event I'm attending has nothing to do with Daisy Owl in particular or webcomics in general.

I gave Ben a can. Ben, I gave you a can.

Four years ago... (http://daisyowl.com/comic/2009-06-25)
-
But... but... does this mean they were never really adopted?

Or that they don't age? But I can't tell, their faces may look younger.

They look younger to me.

Am I right?

Hoo. (http://www.daisyowl.com/comic/2009-06-29)
-
The plot thicks.
-
Hoo. (http://www.daisyowl.com/comic/2009-06-29)
Hoo?
-
The children (or the owl) mysteriously change size as the situation dictates.
-
So.. they actually speak Owl?
-
Well, on the Wikipedia page for "Owl (Language)", it says that Roman expeditionary forces were sent to the British Isles and found it hard to learn the language, so they asked some owls. The owls taught them how to speak to the natives, but with a heavy Owl accent, and with primarily Owl syntax and grammar, and with a lot of Owl loanwords. Then the locals were all, "Hey owls, what the fuck are those dudes saying?" So the owls cleared up the translation issues. So the Bretons and the Romans eventually came up with a lingua franca by combining Latin, Anglo-Celto-Germano-BlahBlah, and Owl.
What I am trying to say is that we are all speaking Owl right now. Hoot hoot, motherfuckers.
-
This strip gets more and more like mainlining slightly boozy cocoa.
-
I'm not sure exactly what that means, but I assume it's a good thing.
-

Oh definitely!
-
The comic is one year old today. (http://daisyowl.com/comic/2009-07-03)
-
Here we see the brilliance of not updating every day. It makes it even funnier when we spent several days (and eight pages of comments over there) wondering what the explanation would be of how they end up speaking English to one another. What a waste if the strips had just been two days in a row.
-
It's nice that Mr. Driscoll has dropped in. I guess he saw a lot of traffic from here in his stats.
-
That, and also Achewood is one of my personal favorites. So I figured I'd drop in and we could all exchange fist-bumps.
-
*fistbumps were had by all*

I feel like we should synchronize our Swatches now.
-
I feel like I should say a special thank you because I'm obsessed with bees, but I have not yet bought a bee shirt so I would feel like a fraud.
-
The bee shirt resulted in many puzzled but polite smiles when I wore it.
Normally I have to talk for that to happen, so I'm calling it a success.
-
Maybe they just didn't know what bees were until then. It's a very educational shirt.

Cooper's sad face has cut too his very soul.

Can we get this guy a genius grant or something? We could all chip in.
I have a feeling that "But you didn't even wait for the sad face" is going to become part of my household's vernacular.

Oh my! That's one sad face all right.

I cannot drive a car either, but unlike Mr. Owl, I can't make up for it by flying. (http://daisyowl.com/comic/2009-07-15)
-
Bummer that that's the best he can think of. Giving birth to live young really isn't all it's cracked up to be.
-
But how does he transport the children? They can't fly on their own and I don't think he can carry them while he flies. That's totally an argument for driving.
-

Lactating seems like it should be more fun than it is as well. Or so I'm told.
-
ALSO: Steve is a lightweight. This disclosure amuses me, it seems off for a bear to be booze intolerant.
Indeed. Bears are supposed to be the frat guys of the animal world, right? Tanked to the uvula on fermented fruit, sleeping for ungodly amounts of time, waking up only to eat & mate, doing the latter so violently they sometimes break their c*ck bone... Steve... *sigh* ...you're doing it wrong.

Hmm. Not my favorite strip. I was expecting more from Bruce.

Jeez, what's with all the comics tonight?
Hmm. Not my favorite strip. I was expecting more from Bruce.
I disagree. I would also find it an honor to work with Bruce.
-
Excellence has to be recognized.
-
Or maybe each rude man has his own special program... I wonder what they could be?
-
St Louis is the beneficiary of this program, definitely.
They are really into putting 4-way stops where a super-minor road intersects a minor road. TWO WAY STOPS EXIST, PEOPLE!
In other news, they are putting in a stoplight at this intersection near my house in charlotte. Which is good, because every time I turn at that intersection, I have an incredibly vivid image of dying in a car crash.
-
Yabbut the good thing they do in St Louis, trafficwise, is turn most of the stoplights on major roads to flashing yellow at about 11:00 pm.
-
That's kind of what happens in San Francisco - except the stoplights don't actually change. People just drive as though they did.
Or frequently, as though the lights, the intersection, and the crossing pedestrians didn't exist.
-
So, apparently Scott Kurtz punched a wolf. It's all over Twitter. It's the only funny thing that has ever been done by or near Scott Kurtz.
-
I can never even remember who Scott Kurtz is without looking it up. For me he's like the webcomics version of someone who is famous for being famous.

This is exactly what he is. He is the Seth MacFarlane of "hey, do you remember that video game? OH GOD, SO DO I, THAT'S SO FUNNY!"
He is the Dane Cook of "hey, do you remember Randomly Generated Nerd Thing #586? OH GOD, SO DO I, THAT'S SO FUNNY!"
He is one of ten thousand inventors of Comic Sans on a cultural level.

Nah, that's Tim Buckley. Kurtz is more or less alright at what he does, at least he was last time I read his strip which was something like 5 years ago. He used to write a fairly decent office comedy but last time I checked in I had no idea what was going on anymore. His art is also fairly decent these days and he is as punctual as hell, which is more than we can say for some people.
-
I don't know if "fairly decent" and "office comedy" go together like that.

Tim Buckley the singer? Cause that guy is awesome.

Yeah, what the fuck? Tim Buckley was great.

We called these concoctions Chef A'La Barf when I was in middle school. They made deadly food-fight armament, although you'd be suspended for sure if it got traced to you somehow. They also made rad "science experiments" when hidden for a few weeks in a quiet corner of one of the quads.

Oh, the fights I've had with futons.
Fortunately, I've prevailed in my battles thus far.
I've had to back up my step father a few time though. His futon gets downright unruly.
-
today, I wrestled a futon-like mattress into my tiny room and onto the bedframe, after spending several hours putting the bed together. The bed is really uncomfortable. Crap.
Also, did I mention that my bed and my desk take up like 80% of the floor space in my room. Oh man, i predict that soon I won't be able to see my floor.

I was worried your story would include a pitchfork. Thankfully I was mistaken.

new lifting-things story.
We were buying my roommate a desk at Office Depot. They asked if we wanted help moving it. We were imagining, you know, like a hand cart or something. So we said yes.
Cut to: two college-aged guys turning red as a big burly middle-aged lady carried their desk to the car.
Damn, like, the desk was not that heavy. We just weren't sure what the protocol was for buying a large item from this store. Ugh.
-
That is such a great mental picture.

And then she tried to make us feel better by being like, "don't worry guys, I work out every day."

For some reason I keep worrying that this comic will stop being good. It's like it's so good I can't believe it's true. I don't know what I did to deserve it.
Also, I finally got the Bees tshirt. I highly recommend it.

I know exactly what you mean.
I don't even mind that there is always about 5 days between comics because it really seems like he labors over every line and word. At least, that's what I hope happens, because if he's able to sit on his butt getting stoned every day and whip one up in a few hours that's like first class Genius right there and I would be extremely jealous.

I was just looking at the archive and thought it was important to note that the title of the most recent strip is Owl Booboo.

I would like to thank everyone for turning me on to Daisy Owl. It is excellent. That is all.

I can't believe that it started on Cracked. I mean, I'm not knocking Cracked, I read their list every day but Daisy Owl just seems so far removed from their kind of humor.
-
I don't find much of Cracked to be funny. Daisy Owl on the other hand is excellent. How are we coming on giving it it's own forum? Any movement on that yet?
-
Daisy Owl started on Cracked, sure, but not as an official Cracked article. Ben just started posting them on the forums (http://www.cracked.com/forums/topic/35472/daisy-owl) one day to see what people thought. They went up on the front page because David Wong liked them and decided the comic needed more exposure.
The forums in general are farily different in tone to the rest of the site. They were imported over whole from Pointless Waste of Time when it merged with Cracked, and hence retain a lot of the unique humour of PWoT. Cracked meanwhile found a formula that worked (fact-based lists with dick jokes) and stuck to it, which gets them the hits they're after but can get a bit samey. I'm on the forums every day but I rarely read the articles.

Pamphlet: http://www.daisyowl.com/comic/2009-09-15
Man, that fine would totally suck.
-
Lame.
Good eyebrows, though.
-
I just realized why I don't like Daisy Owl as much as it seems like it should:
I want it to work blue and it doesn't.
It's clever sometimes and often charming but it almost feels too accessable. Too family friendly. Too many punches pulled.
I fully admit this is a "me problem" as the kids say. I'm sure that the creator's vision involves working PG because it adds to a sense of wonder and makes the weirder things weirder in certain ways but, to be honest, it's a point of view I can't really identify with at this point in my life. I need my whismy cut with a healthy dose of cynicism and chased with a glass of angry vulgarity.
It is the same problem with Homestarrunner. I keep feeling like it is holding out on me.
I mean, it's good, Daisy Owl is a good strip but I am perhaps not in the right place to fully enjoy it.

Huh. I really enjoyed this one. But a couple weeks ago there was one that I found really weak which everybody else loved.
-
Huh, it would never occur to me that there's anything wrong with a strip because no one cusses.
In fact now that I think of it one thing that's fascinating about this strip to me is there is something so Achewoodian about it while totally lacking that element. The core of Achewood is really not about the dick jokes, much as we enjoy the freedom to make them. I don't know how to define what it is but it's so interesting that the strips feel like they have so much in common anyway.

Alternate response
Daisy Owl is not lame. It is a serious strip with serious uses.
-
Early (to be ashamed of, to be forgotten) achewood was kind of innocent though. Phillipe wasn't exactly the POV character but there was a sense of the others trying to tone things down around him. They were also more innocent because they were stuffed animals and didn't leave the house much.

I, for one, don't find cussing to be a necessary element in comedy.

this just makes me imagine people whose conception of comedy is really specific.
"ok, i guess this is making me laugh, but where are the Groucho Marx glasses?"
I am endlessly entertained by jokes based on someone having a really specific criterion for what makes something good.
especially if it's a weird criterion, obviously.

You should probably take that can back. I don't recall the Alt text you refer to, however when I read that, I did this in my head.

It is not that swearing is NECESSARY to comedy.
It is that in a long-form storytelling, it feels like an artifical restriction to potential entertainment and that bothers me.
If there was a little swearing here and there and it felt like the potential was there, it wouldn't feel like that.
It is like there is a pebble in my shoe on an otherwise pleasant walk.
I'm a weird person, though, we've covered this.
-
Mike you do realize there are people out there that rarely or never swear? I'm one. I'm not offended by profanity, but I typically find it ineloquent.
-
I've never seen the Wire, but I read somewhere that one of the characters never swears? Is that true? I really gotta watch that show...
-
Yes, that's Omar, who makes his living stealing from the drug dealers. IMHO he's also the only character on the series who isn't believable if you stop and think about it for too long - he's got so many contradictions, they're obviously fictionally purposeful - but maybe he was meant to be.
The good thing about not using profanity often is that it makes a big impression when you do, as I found in that other thread we were having lately.
Also, I bought Honey Nut Cheerios for the first time solely because they are Omar's favorite cereal.

...which ties in nicely with one of my weak spots for comedy: profanity that is so extreme as to become ridiculous, borderline nonsensical (as when Randall reads the porn titles in front of that kid in "Clerks" and the titles become progressively more unhinged. I didn't watch that scene, I survived it).

And tying this back to The Wire: There's also a famous scene where the two detectives are investigating the scene of a murder and the only thing they say is "Fuck" over and over in all kinds of different intonations.

Back in the early '90s, while hanging with some buddies we did a similar thing with "Dude". This is probably not a unique experience.
-
It is a universal experience, that bonds us all as humans.
Dude is the perfect word, capable of expressing any sentiment or emotion. It is the Higgs-Boson of words.
If the human race experiences speciation through space colonization, there will be a planet that adapts to communicate entirely though this word.

So was that his original rough sketch or what?

That is him messing with our minds.
-
Right - like I'm not going to click on that.
-
The clickthrough looks to be the pre-shading linework. Open each image in its own tab and swap between them for a hypnotic effect.
The "google eyes" may be there as guidelines to make sure he spaces the eyedots properly, and also that he knows where to put the stress lines around the eyes like in panel 4. That's just a guess, though, since I don't know why that would result in Daisy getting pupil-dots. Or why he rotated the children in panel 6 just one degree counterclockwise for the finished product.
What I'm trying to say is that following an artist's process can be pretty weird, and maybe should not be attempted by anyone.
-
...or possibly he just did it because it was hilarious?
-
Best Occam's Razor pun gets a can and bragging rights.
GO!
-
I feel like he took the pre-shading linework and then just drew circles or pupils for each eye as appropriate.

I have had a day when all I ate was beans. See, during a particularly painful healing period post dental surgury, I went crazy for lack of meals or meat in particular anyway, having only been able to eat soft things like ice cream and such for what seemed like ages but was probably only a week or two. For some reason I thought canned refried beans would fill the desire I had for substantial, high protien food stuffs. No. A few spoonfuls of refried beans was fine, but a whole bowl full? I was too young at the time to have thought it through. Surly with some sour cream, soft-ish salsa and melted cheese it would have been much more meal-like, but I was a young, foolish bean eater. Or maybe it was bean day, only I didn't know it, being human and all. Never again.
-
I once ate 1 3/4 lbs of baked beans (all of a large-ish can) in one sitting. Just to see if I could. Man, I paid for it 6 hours later but I just had to see if I had it in me, ya know?

No, he's actually a crazy stalker obsessed with me. As well as the shirt and the doodle, the package also contained his severed ear.
I shall use it to clone an army of Driscolls and seize control of the webcomics industry.

Daisy Owl is one of the very few other web comics I've seen that seems interesting to me. I'm not sure if it has what it takes to really hook me into a serious archive crawl, but it's definitely nice.
To this day, Perry Bible Fellowship is the only non-Achewood web comic which I felt I immediately needed to see all of.

The tragic thing about this list is that almost half the comics on it are no longer extant. In fact if we add A Lesson is Learned but the Damage is Irreversible it is half. Oh woe.

On rereading, it occurred to me that crossing out what it says on your box and writing something new is a pretty good way to deal with life. Come to think of it, I guess I've actually done a lot of that sort of thing.
Its certainly been my MO. Life goes not backward, nor tarries with yesterday...

I... have the sense of humour of a five-year-old, apparently, and took the use of the word "box" to reinterpret this as a statement about naughty tattoos.
But it also works the sane way!

Okay, this is totally off-topic, but has anyone read James Stevenson's children's books? He's most famous as a New Yorker cartoonist, but he had a series of beautifully watercolored picture books when I was little that I loved. (The connection here is that my favorite was called "Could Be Worse!," which is sadly out of print.) Anyone else remember these?

Mr. Owl probably also gets that TV station where the news breaks in with situationally relevant news bites. And I'm assuming that he can fly at the speed of plot. He seems like a very lucky owl in these respects.

Dennon Buglerer? Is this something I should know?
