Maybe Onstad will add the funny later.

Bless you Joe

I like the way they have a conversation about dinner
while being obviously transfixed by the horrible porn that they are watching.

i read white ninja comics.  a lot of them are funny for what you might call "face value."  i think this is one of those comics.  i mean, i liked it when i read it.  there's lyle watching brit porn for homework, it's just going on, and then teo and lyle carry on normal life as though there isn't foreign porn on the terebi.  i don't know that it is gonzo porn, but it's polite and some guy keeps yelling "oi!"  that's funny, dudes, sometimes these are my favs.  
plus, i got to send this link to my friend who has been in london for a few years and she was laughing (laughing via email, such a bittersweet way to enjoy her humor...i mean humour).  i'm sure that wasn't the intention behind the comic - so that some jerk could send some broad overseas the strip and they could guffaw - but eff it.  

another great comic was "louis, phone caw."  man that one stuck with me forever.  the far side was one of the greatest strips.  there's this run in the bay this weekend that called such as "run to the far side" and people dress up in such as far side characters and i don't completely understand...but on the banner underneath the name of the race was the legal print "the far side is a registered trademark of..."

Maybe Onstad will add the funny later when he's done beating his wife.

*sigh*

Jough, there you go again ...  :roll:

I for one gladly welcome our new Magical Sex Bloke Vol. 8 t-shirt masters

*sigh*

Jough, there you go again ...  :roll:

Yea, I have changed my mind about this... I was listening to Bill Hicks last night, the Chicago gig where some 'drunk cunt' starts heckling him, and he loses it... And I understand why.
I mean, if someone is performing on stage in front of you, you don't yell out 'you suck'. And posting to say 'well that was so not funny' is really not much better...

*sigh*


I liked it too anyway.

[Bozack]

I found it hilarious. And topical, for me at least: there's a t-shirt at this place in St. Marks that has "OI! OI!" on it in big red letters, and then a white line drawing of a pair of running boots. Now, when I saw this, I decided I must have it, simply because a white American pseudo-Catholic art-student wearing a t-shirt that is at least a pro-English-Working-Class statement and at most some sort of hideous skinhead concoction, while living with a gay man and a Jew, would be something I could laugh about, alone, in the dark. However, fear of being seen as a massive Nazi was bothering me, until I started asking people what they thought, and soon learned that even my most socially conscious schoolmates have no idea what "oi" means, or why it, along with a pair of boots that might be stomping, might be bad.
What do you guys think? Nazi or Notse?

Well, it's not like I'm going over to Onstad's office and heckling him while he's working.  If you haven't noticed, this is a message board for the purposes of DISCUSSING and posting thoughts on the Achewood comic (as well as other sundry topics).

We've been over this before.  Onstad's posting here doesn't really change the purpose of the board, which is to discuss Achewood.  I'm not going to only post how great everything is when it really isn't so great, and no one here should let Onstad's presence bully them into praising an unsuccessful strip.

I don't complain or suggest that people are retarded when they post that they liked a really weak concept.  I just figure chacun à son goût and move on.

There have been better strips that used this exact premise (people talking casually about something mundane while watching something ridiculous on the tele - I'm sure CJ can provide links) and some of them were funny.  I didn't think this one was funny or interesting enough to be up to par with the rest of the Achewood canon.

[Formica]

It reminded me of the perfectly honest conversation about pornography, to a degree. But mostly I'm just happy to see Lyle's gonzo exploits actually make it off the blogs and into the strip. Hell, it's just nice to see Lyle again. He is awesome.

Not the funniest, but not bad, either. As opposed to, say, Beef and his stupid fuck*ng asinine "such as" habit, whose use I believe could be used as a court defense for temporary insanity. "Your honor, as you can see from the alt text..."

This, naturally, will just cause 'stad to have an entire week of Beef using it at every oppurtunity, in every panel, until Achewood fandom is reduced to a slavering, violent mass firmly divided on the subject of Beef's pathetic (or quirky and charming, if you believe the filthy, craven lies of the unwashed) verbal idiosyncracy.

[V-Adore]

This is just funny enough in concept that I'm willing to forgive it basically doing nothing with that concept. Also, "Magical Sex Blokes" is basically a hilarious title insofar as it conjures (npi) the image of Harry Potter gonzo porn.

I know, I know. I was just saying I've changed my mind after realising that Bill had every right to blow up when some woman yells that he sucks during a show is all. And I know that we need to be able to discuss the weaker ones. It's stupid if you just can't mention the bits you don't like...

I guess it just comes down to tact. Oh dear...

woah.  personally i love it.  but what i really love is that it seems to be simply substituting "such as" in place of where normally "like" would be used improperly.  what a great way to clean up your language!  cleaning up dosn't sound like it would come from the unwashed.  ya big bologna.

[andalucia]

Yeah, I've got no problem with the "such as", I don't especially notice it one way or another.  Worrisomely, this may be because it's close enough to a construction that could enter my vernacular, which does admittedly tend towards awkwardness in that manner.
