RT@achewood Would The Pet Shop Boys be nice to have over for Thanksgiving, or would they be a pain in the ass? It's really hard to tell.

I am assuming, for the purposes of enjoying this comic, that a "stinker" is one of those farts that also involves a certain quantity of solid / liquid expulsion. So, yeah - just one teaspoon. Imagine!

Todd's seemingly unquenchable thirst (you may fire when ready) for knowledge in the face of A Night in the Stony Lonesome is, I guess, retardedly admirable. In the end, though, this strip felt more like an excuse for Onstad to draw another one of his beloved Product Logos (c.j. the Hell Saga) and use, in Context, that terrific closing line. Like that line came to him first and he sort of cobbled up a strip around it, like an emergency lean-to fortified with mud and wax paper.

I'm pretty sure THAT line came to you first, and you've been waiting for Stad to get back and make a comic so you can finally release it to the world. BURNNNN!!!

So is it a good "get back into it" comic? Hmmm. I think it's pretty funny, although Zart is right, the last line totally outdoes everything else. And I'm glad to see my beloved Guiness draft cans in Ache-0-Vision, and the fact that Beef visibly shakes when the phone rings, plus he's just sitting around drinking alone makes this Pretty Good. Not Basically Treasure, but Pretty Good.

When I was little, a stinker was just any old kind of fart. But I'm from the East Coast, so maybe things are different out this way.

Yeah I was assuming the 1 tsp. was just pure air. The "liquid/solid" theory makes me uncomfortable.

Air?

You blow an air wad when you come, dude?

You should have that looked at.  You should be producing 1-2 tsp. of spooge with each discharge.

"Yeah, I know, I would have thought more like 3/4 cup at least".

That's a Bukkake Fiasco!

Beef's eyebrows in the last two panels are what make it for me.  Woe!  Woe.

He's a cat
« Reply #9 on: September 28, 2004, 01:20:54 am »
He's around the same size as Mr. Bear, who's 1'11" in lifts. Where does he even get off thinking he launches 3/4 cup at a go? That's like his whole stomach.

Or, is it Underground cups and tablespoons? Or is he just funnin'? Or is Beef prodigiously flatulent (it'd make sense re: his social development)?

And what could it mean to Todd? He's something like 1/12 Beef's volume. Is there a standard underground size for sentient, uh...things that Todd automatically takes into account? Why doesn't Todd ask another squirrel or consult squirrel medical texts instead of asking a cat?

Maybe because Todd is the kind of guy who will use his one phone call from prison to go call someone and ask about the volume of wads and/or farts? I mean, it's just a thought. I begin to suspect that Todd isn't very bright.

I realise I'm only your message board daddy, and not your actual daddy, but I will take this time to explain that semen does not come from a boy's stomach.

Um, because that is the subject of today's Achewood strip.

And this is the thread about that strip.

It's not like I *introduced* the subject, man.

I just work here.

The average amount of ejaculate for a male is 10cc
I do not know why I know this.
But I believe that is similar amount to a spoonful, a loving spoonful if you will.

Both "10cc" and "The Loving Spoonful" were band names for those too young to remember.
