Why do we need someone to tell us what we should enjoy?

We don't, people like what they like and criticism is just opinion after all,  but often times the opinions of critics form a consensus which becomes conventional wisdom.  One doesn't have to buy it, but you might find yourself alone defending the solo work of Paul McCartney.

Point of fact: Michael Stipe was on Mario Batali's show a couple of years ago, pimping some film he exec-produced. To the best of my recollection, he ate everything but the meat dish, and politely declined any cheese. Neither he nor Mario mentioned his name. This was perhaps the most gracefully he has ever behaved in his life.

i like how this comic is devoted to fleshing out the character of a specific character.

See, I still don't get Teodor's character.  I thought Lyle was supposed to be the gratuitously vulgar one.  Teodor goes all over the place, he has no central defining traits like the others.  He's never been clear to me.

I think that's why I like him. Teodor is the most real of them since he can't be boiled down to just one adjective. He also seems to be the only one to routinely call Bullshit on Ray.

Yeah Teodor has long been my favorite.  He's a complex character and I like when he calls BS on Ray.

(This thought caused me to google "vegan jokes"-- and boy, if you want to see real unfunny...)

I realize I'm late on this, but were they unfunny jokes about vegans or were they unfunny jokes which did not consume animal products?

Well, both, I'd assume.

File this one under '[Paris Hilto] Rant'.  Language is funny of course, Onstad can do it in his sleep.  But this thinly veiled, unsurpsrising social commentary taking the place of characters and plot is, well, just not that rad.

Ah, but Teodor can still hang with the dirtiest dudes in town.

Yep.  And is this the debut of Charley Smuckles two strips later?

Damn! The shinin' just gets outer!

Wait, that don't sound right.

The oushinin' keeps on happenin'! That better?

I do believe it is he, with the backpack.

Teodor routinely plays the roles of closeted homosexual, everyman, guy who is cool without effort (we all know these people!) and (IMO) Onstad himself.
Which begs the question....why is there no "Which Achewood character are you?" type quiz?
Even an ironic one would be good!

[andalucia]

Wait, huh?  How so?
