The burn in this strip is panel 5.  Dilbert hasn't been funny for a long, long time.  The reason is, when it was funny, it was because Adams got all his material from people sending him ideas from their own workplaces.  Now he's out of the zeitgeist and nobody is sending him ideas, and so Dilbert sucks.  Kudos to Scott Adams for coming up with the character that everybody wanted at the time everybody wanted it, but it's over now.

50% of Achewoods contain a reference to food or are specifically about food in some way

I like this one a lot, but it did sadden me that the guy who constructed an awesome blistering attack on Comic Sans has now employed Papyrus.

Achewood / Re: Dog c*ck medicine - Feb 29 2008

This strip is broken.  When the dude says it tastes like dog penls medicine, and then grabs the bottle and it says dog penls medicine, dude can't then assume that it was some sort of weird hossradish.

Also, every Achewood is about food and every other Achewood is about a character developing some kind of entrepreneurial thing, and now, for the second time in weeks, we have a character combining the two.  Lyle was just selling coffee to perverts the other day... I don't mind Onstad taking cues from his own life as clearly he is an entrepreneurial foodie.  I'm just scared that he's falling into a rut.

Agreed, Onstad has completely lost the people-who-have-been-within-conversational-radius-of-Stephen-Hawking market segment.

I think that a stoned softball league will involve no actual bat-to-ball contact.  There may or may not be pitching that may or may not get close to the strike zone.  The entire point of a stoned softball league will be the hot dogs on the grill.  Beef's participation is key, and critical.

Ray's different email sounds come from Sublime's "Smoke Two Joints".

Quote
I smoke two joints in the morning.
I smoke two joints at night.
I smoke two joints in the afternoon, it makes me feel alright
I smoke two joints in time of peace, and two in time of war
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints,
And then I smoke two more

Apparently Ray uses different lines from the song for morning, afternoon and night.

Achewood / January 22, 2007: I would like to base the part of the New Jesus on you

So Beef was right; Pete sees this not only as a high gesture, but the highest of all gestures, and grants Ray deity status in his world.

I'm only a little annoyed that there is no comeuppance for Pete's evil scheme and that he has enough medical coverage to get patched up like that.

Ray has always been New Jesus to me.  Ray is king, and we could not even live in his realm, but we may dream to achieve his level some day.

Don't overthink it, kids. It's just a funny pair of words that might somehow refer to something related to marijuana.
The only Google result for it is... this thread

I just gotta say, as a bass player, that I am totally offended by Teodor's attitude.

Achewood / 30 October 2006 - What would happen if a chicken mated with a dog

This is completely a character piece, and maybe a relief from the rather heavy previous story arc.  Philippe's child of imagination and wonderment cast against Cornelius' refined adult intellectual.

What makes a chicken cooler to fellow chickens by breaking the species barrier, as opposed to dogs?

And er, ah, isn't it the rooster that, uh...?

I was all set to not like this strip until issacs_law pointed out the Klaus Nomi reference.  Old friend of mine was a Bowie completist and bought the Nomi albums because at one point Bowie worked with him. 

It's been 24 years since I heard it, but from what I remember... kind of industrial 80s pop songs with this totally bizarre-looking flamboyant German guy launching into an all-out totally operatic soprano falsetto at full lung, sung in English with a gruff German accent.  Most people ran screaming for the volume knob.

Despite your protest, that was a remarkable catch issacs!

I had to read "'bio-filtered' Ravenswood zinfandel comin' directly outta my catheter" three times before I realized what Ray was saying.  That's part of the genius of A-wood... or part of the moronity that is me.

Nitpick: the caller-id system would never say "FAthEr" because the caller-id system is not smart enough to recognize the relationship between caller and callee.
