This comic strip kind of punched me in the face and then put its arm around me without saying anything.

Also, what is it with strange duos this month.  First Emeril and Spongebath, now these two.  Are Jay and Silent Bob gonna make a cameo?

Achewood is one of the rare drops amid a flood of media I consume daily that can every so often provide a very special commodity, something new.  I don't know these characters or this place.  I don't even really know the feeling being evoked by this strip very well.  It's all so strange.  Surreal but specific.  The idea of heaven burning down is not a new one.  Our idea of heaven is so limited, it almost follows that you should be able to die there and go somewhere else.  The visual and lexical style of this place -- to me -- is something truly new.  And while I don't think that Onstad is some sort of cereberal genius, he has a certain innate talent for weaving old ideas into new feelings.

Something like that.

I'm still really creeped out... but intruiged to see where this is going, if anywhere, i.e. whether we'll get closure on the whole metaafterlife concept.

The best term used in this thread to describe this is jarring.

For some reason I'm drawn to this strip again and again; the idea that Heaven can burn; that there are winos in the street in front of it, that souls can die. Everything we hope isn't possible played out before our wretched eyes, that reality gets no better in the afterlife. At least hell had Friendly's and KFC. And probably won't be affected much by burning.

Good Christ I need a drink and it's only lunchtime.

Lunchtime for you is get up time for me, though.

And AdultSwim starts at, like, 7 pm here so I can watch ATHF every day and still go to bed before 10...

I heard creepy 30s jazz the whole time I was reading that strip. Tres Betty Boop.


Yea. I had something like that going on when I read it.
Definite mysterious, smokey jazz feel.
I really like it. OK it's not at all what I expected but I really like the new characters there and the rest of the art is back to the quality of the 'Philippe kidnapped?' arc.

Sweet Jesus. I go away for a few days and smoke too much pot, and come back to THIS? This is definitely my karmatic payment for ganja. Well, that and being around 90,000 hippies for a weekend.
But KEYRIST is this saddening. I saw this and....damn. Damn, man. I need a hug SO MUCH RIGHT NOW.
