LADY BLUMPKINS?

EDIT: Because this comic was actually a PM update, with PM meaning "AM of tomorrow", I put down the date of the day it went up, not the day it is supposed to represent in the Achewood chronology. Still, it could be worse: we could all be reading PVP.

[ndpatel]

i say this now because it is true:

this is a crappy strip.

blah blah i know it's free, shouldn't complain, etc., but i've never, ever, been so anti before. i think it's because ray is strangely out of character. it's fuck*ng with me.

[V-Adore]

I'm really confused by Ray. Why is he playing the rational one?

This is funny in concept, but I sort of can't get into it. At all.

[AugustWest]

I thought this one was hilarious.

That is all.

[St_Zartan]

Well, you'd better learn to like it, because it's all you're getting until the twenty-seventh.

I actually thought this was pretty good for a few reasons: Ray's trying to be all earnest and infomercial about this new brewmaster role and Beef won't stop with his half-serious mumbly-mouthed blue-skying. "Ottawa Modified Death" feels like a potential analogue or at least compliment for / to "due to punishment". And Beef didn't use that fuck*ng clumsy "such as" when he meant "like".

Who drinks a beer with clove aftertaste, though? Goths?

[andalucia]

I can't tell whether I just enjoyed it because it mentioned Ottawa, which is like an hour from where I grew up.

[CortJstr]

Apparently Ray gets all serious and defensive when you mock his pretentiousness. Or when he cuts himself on the sour cream lid because it's the only thing in his fridge. Good to know.

[arkabee]

that cats who stand up on hind-legs and can talk are funny and make me laff.  

i'd imagine (which i can, because i apparently share several "traits" with r. beef) that being friends with Roast Beef for as long as Ray Smuckles has, would at some points in time try one's patience (and, indeed, vice versa i'm sure).

"will you just taste the beer?", indeed Ray, indeed.

[V-Adore]

After an hour's solemn reflection, I think I like this better than I did earlier. It's still a little incongruent (why isn't Ray raving about how precisely you "modified kill" a deer?), but there's at least a lot of funny concepts here.

also: "lady-blumpkins" in the alt text. What to say about that? I don't know.

[slink]

I think I've just changed my band name to Ottawa Modified Death.
That is all.

[Mantonio]

also: "lady-blumpkins" in the alt text. What to say about that? I don't know.

Hmmm, the less the better I would imagine.

[Formica]

"Ottawa Modified Death" feels like a potential analogue or at least compliment for / to "due to punishment".

Given Beef's previous discussions regarding the sport of killing men, perhaps his schitzophrenia is getting the best of him.

And Beef didn't use that fuck*ng clumsy "such as" when he meant "like".

I am SO fuck*ng tired of that. I didn't really notice it until I saw it pointed out here. Now I can't stand it.

"Such as rheumetism" my ass.

[jough]

Oh man, you think just READING it makes you irritated - I tried using it in polite CONVERSATION a couple of months ago and it made people visibly uncomfortable.

[AlohaDawg]

The concepts are funny but the characters are out of character.

Onstad on another 11 day hiatus. I should be self-employed. He should be pricing all his merchandise by the Euro for all the time off he gives himself. Not that he isn't entitled to it. But unless he's in rehab or chemo, it's tough to respect.

[AugustWest]

Dang!  How does he afford to do this?  This webcomic gig must be pretty lucrative.
