Clerk all KNOWIN' (http://www.achewood.com/index.php?date=12012009)
And the eventual (inevitable?) march toward parenthood continues...
-
Is this going to become a comic about a baby... cat?
I think I am OK with that. I have faith.
-
Are cat condoms reinforced, on account of the barbs?
And are the condoms themselves barbed, for her displeasure?
-
Weak sauce from a recycled premise.
-
I have faith.
Maybe the '65 Ford Galaxie will end up peeling out the baby's head skin. I can hold out for that.
-
I hear condoms are the ideal storage container for leftover risotto.
-
I doubt you read that in "Kitchen Tips from Heloise".

the hell?

three words:
Cartilage Head Junior

I don't think Todd's going to have any progeny anytime soon.
Thing is, Beef's going to make a "good" dad in the same way that he's a "good" husband; he's still from Circumstances and that still casts a shadow, but when the chips are down, he does the right thing.
Besides, Molly's baby shower could be an epic time for Showbiz to resurface.

Is THAT what they're calling it now?
-
Beef has had Shopping Problems before... (http://achewood.com/index.php?date=10302007)
-
At least he got into the store. (http://achewood.com/index.php?date=02022007)

Tend to agree, but...
I like when dude does funky product designs. Except these seem a little on the 'obvious' side.
I also think it's not bad that dude is going to try going shorter, more frequent bursts. Seems like the long panel count stuff hasn't been all that swell for a while and breaking form might give a new whiff to things.
Maybe allow some new bacteria to cultivate in the achewood inspiration petri dish, like.
What he said. So much so that I won't say anything more on it.
-
Maybe I'm just cynical, but I can't help but feel that "posting short pieces more often than large pieces less often" is going to turn into "posting short pieces less often".

the hell?
What, you've never seen "Peel-out Summer"? It's a classic! (http://m.assetbar.com/achewood/uuadXFb49)
Also, what Ash said. Achewood used to have amazing three-panel strips back in the day, which could beat the heck out of long arcs such as the karma wheel.
-
Beef shouldn't be getting flustered by this choice; he should just pick the geometry ones and that's that.

condom purchasing is I think the one time in my life where I said, "which one have I seen the most ads for? which ones do my friends use?" very openly without any shame or second thoughts.

The health office at school used to have no name red condoms from china. And no one ever used them.
Then they filled the basket with those Trojan magnum condoms with the gold foil wrappers. Couldnt keep 'em in stock.

Why do you know which brand of condoms your friends use? I don't know which brands of tampons my friends use. Just wonderin'.

Everyone wore their Lisa Left-Eye Lopes costume to the WUSTL Halloween party last year.
-
I guess mostly that my roommate used to have a box of condoms sitting on top of his dresser. After a full year I convinced him that this scares girls away.

If Onstad views the strip simply as a cash-cow, like Scott Adams views Dilbert, then this view is accurate. If,however, he views it as a creative endeavour of art, that won't be the case, because when inspiration strikes, it will come out on its own schedule and the precise size it needs to be.

As a person who makes Creative for a living, I can assure you that Onstad gave up the right to treat the strip like Art when he quit his day job.

Regarding knowing what kind of condoms your friends use, I have probably told this story before, but I'll tell it again because it's funny.
Some years ago, I had just broken up with my girlfriend, and was about to go off for a weekend at the beach to a big house full of people and beer. Ostensibly, there was the possibility of drunken hook-ups. So my roommate, in an effort to cheer me up, said, "Here, take some of these, you'll need them," and handed me some condoms.
"Dude... these say Extra-Large on them."
"Why yes," he smiled. "I find they work quite well."
"OK, great. I'm sure... they'll be fine. Thanks."

What was his day job, when he had one?
-
Well, he did make it into a decision with a lot more consequences, regarding like, food on the table and such, but I suppose a person still has the right to raise a family on ramen noodles.
Wasn't he a graphic designer? It was something in the Silicon Valley boom.
-
I think he was a guy who chooses fonts for a living.
-
What was his day job, when he had one?
I always assumed (perhaps naively) that he had been a usability engineer (http://achewood.com/index.php?date=11272001).

Quality pull, Rowboat.

Prescience!
