Lyle is at least a Nugget reader.

Excellent point CJ, and I accept it as such.  However, why would Lyle be researching in Playboy.  It's not like he's going to recruit the Playmate of the Month to star in Red Cox Sweep or Lip Sink:Ashlee's Story.

The use of "I have a friend..." is definitely genius.


Seconded. I liked this one. *Shrug*
How can you go wrong with "Dear Playboy Advisor!"

I like this one. When read in the printed collections in the same thirty seconds as the previous three "Advisor" strips, the timing will feel just about right.

Achewood strips aren't timed just for web reading. Owners of the printed collections will tell you that it's a different experience entirely to read them all in a sitting, going forward instead of backward, without having to wait a day in between each one.  

I own all the printed collections (except Vol II), anyhow, and that's how it looks from this dirty old throne, eating my nasty old scone, driving this car bought on loan.

That's why he's so disgusted with Playboy and the fact that every photo shoot looks exactly the same. Lyle generally prefers the kinds of magazines where the girl holds up her driver's license to prove that she just turned 18. That's the kind of place he can recruit from.

That's actually a damn good point. And, I might add, something that may motivate me to purchase the printed collections. Are there any owners of the printed collections who can back this claim up?

??? Why don't you own Vol II?  Did you have to mortgage it?  Forget and sell the last one?

I liked the series of Advisor strips.  That guy's pretty savvy.  His concern for Phillippe's innocence is touching (Just this page, okay buddy?).

I'll also speak up for having liked the strips. Now if he'd taken it to five it would have been a touch lame, but I thought working it up to Lyle and then suddenly pulling back and going to Philippe was clever.

Not to mention that even if I tried really hard I don't think I could tire of Philippe.

I just got mine, and the experience of flipping through the books is definitely different.  Also, the cookbook is fuck*ng hilarious.  And the Teodore apron is frikkin' awesome.

I think Onstad is right. Right now we're waiting all day for a strip so we're a little disappointed when it's a continuation of ths same joke. But an archive/book reader only waits 2 seconds and can enjoy it as a continuation of the current theme.

Yea. I was horrified that I would miss the alt-texts in the book, but you don't really miss them. Or maybe I just refuse to go through with post-its for three months.
I do look forward to the next volume though, as I really want to get to last Hallowe'en!
