@achewood The bus is crossing Klickitat St., home of Ramona Quimby. It's pretty swank these days. No sign of Nosmo King.

Wow.
Too many great lines in this one. Chewbacca, burnin' molars, toupees, Beef discussing his situation like it's a scientific advance that calls for the killing of many small, cute animals, or old people...

Indeed. I again, for some reason, forgot to look at the alt-text when I first read the strip.

Oh man, the perfect end cap to the Playboy Advisor Joke That Grew Too Olde.

I think we'll have to update the "Achewood Catch Phrases" thread after this one.

This does rather redeem things, yes -- although I believe wholeheartedly that the alt text is by far the best part of this, just because I can totally picture an angry Wookiee* mother banging on the door. And, of course, I can picture Chewbacca's six-hundred-dollar prom dress.

Firefox refuses to display more than 60 characters of alt-text for me.  I have to view the properties of the image and then copy and paste the text to see it all.  Am I the only person who has this problem?  Is this something I can set in about:config or something?

By the way, the "alt-text" is actually a title, and the images in fact have no alt-text.  View source, I'll wait.  See?

Didn't we actually meet Chewbacca's family in the Wookie Christmas Special?

OUT-LOSER'D!

Oh, and Va, I have the same problem. I usually just view source, but I was going to post the same thing. Won't someone please thing of VA and me?

It's a known bug in Firefox. You can just drag over the Properties window to make the text scroll or use the "View this page in IE" option if you have that extension.

Also, we known he (correctly) uses the Title attribute but calling it title is confusing since that's also the name for the text in the window's top bar. Plus most people are used to the term alt-text from its years of mis-use.

There used to be an extension that made Fire* display alt-text attributes like IE but I don't know if it was ever updated for newer versions.

I am not, however, at all certain I agree with Ray's advice.  But it is passable if considered from a "I want my buddy comfortable" perspective rather than a "good things ain't easy" viewpoint.


Yea. I'm totally with you there. If I were Ray I'd have told Beef to stop being an idiot and do what he can to make them both happy, as then things will be better for everyone. But then I'm just like that...


That is, I'll keep stabbing myself in the eye (metaphorically) even if it'd hurt less in the end to give up. I guess I only accept certain kinds of pain.

That would have been a touch less funny, I think. I guess that's why it isn't Slinkwood (though that'd be a funny name).

I might change my name so Slink is short for Slinkwood. Although the jokes would be unbearable. And certainly, I wasn't at all saying I thought it should go that way. I mean, if Molly and Beef split, it would sadden me, but it's not real life, so I just have to see what happens you know. (Hell, as would be the case if it were real life... I don't know where that was going, but you get the drift. Ugh, job interviews...)

Yeah, I know. Actually, when I read this comic and thought about posting a response to it, I thought about the image of Chewie's mom hollering through that door, and Chewie being anorexic, and I thought that I might not ever say anything so bizarrely funny in my life. Meaning, I guess, that I think the dichotomy of what a person might say in a comic situation to be true to their own personality is rarely what they might say to be funny.

Hey look, I killed a thread!
