See, once more Onstad has irrevocably changed a phrase I use quite a lot!
He's like Shakespeare, in so far as he's adding to the ol' lexicon.
Also loving Ray's smirk when Beef puts on the medallion.
Ray is basically a good guy.

[lloyd]

I love how Onstad manages to tell so much about Beef's change of temperament just through Ray's reaction:

"Okay, uh huh, right. I, uh... Ray loves you too."

This basically implies that Beef is so mellow at this point that he would actually say not only that he loves Ray, but that he would refer to himself in the third person in order to do so.

I see tears of joy streaming down Beef's face, all welling up with previously unacknowledged emotion. Inevitably too sweet for Beef.

Everyone within reason is invited? I wonder if that includes Todd.

Also, I first read that as "if Queen woke you up" and I can't decide if that would be more special or less than "the Queen"

I thought the 'Ray loves you too' was just because Ray likes to refer to himself in the third person.

Agreee that the smirk on panel 9 is awesome, but I like the little look of anticipation in panel 4.

I'll admit to being pretty much underwhelmed with this arc.  However, this is a great strip.

I love how Onstad manages to tell so much about Beef's change of temperament just through Ray's reaction:

I have to agree, Onstad's writing elevates the 'talking head' style comic to a new level.  I also like the sense from the change of angles that Ray is kind of pacing around, slightly jittery, it holds still while he is happy that Beef is going to be ok, but starts again once it gets, well, Too Special.

I'm suprised it had such a profound effect on Beef though, but maybe its just the result of his hella-depression, when he goes the other way he goes all the way.

This is certainly what Beef must look like right now though.

AHA!
So, Achewood = Cheers.
Therefore if I find a "which Cheer's character are you most like?" 'net quiz then i'll have found and Achewood personality quiz as well.
Hurrah!

I didn't think he had any clothes (and therefore no pockets) except when he's wearing the short-sleeved dress shirt and tie, writing code. . .  :?:

You have a point, and more importantly, a website about vintage banjos.  As such, I think you will fit in well here.  Hi!

Me too, and I was definitely disappointed when I noticed the 'the'.

[gearnest]

Wow. . . that must mean I typed in my URL correctly!  Amazing. . .
Thanks for the welcome.  I discovered Achewood a little less than a year ago and it has become a part of my daily routine.  I e-mailed Onstad a while back when the banjo was featured in one of the arcs and found out that he is a budding player himself.

[V-Adore]

Welcome, gearnest. You'll fit in fine.

Anyway, this is a good strip. I particularly like that we're not actually seeing Chochaco-Possessed Beef, because the mental images are way more precious than anything 'stad could have actually written. I am still not sure whether or not this is all based on an art error, but hey.

Chochacho doesn't possess. He merely facilitates a good time.

It's really special when "A Queen" wakes you up. Especially when you don't remember going to sleep. Or where you are.
