I was afraid to post anything because what I wanted to say was that I was apparently the only one who didn't get this whole CH deal. But instead I am here to proclaim that it is true that some of the strips read better once you can read the whole story, instead of doled out in little bits from day to day.

This may be crazy but my favorite detail is the house number painted on the curbstone.  It may make it seem exotic because I have never lived somewhere where that is the tradition.

Where I live now it's an option - amusingly enough, there was a flyer in the mailbox telling me that for, like, $50 some guy would paint out house number on the curb next to our driveway. Ostensibly this is a safety feature, they would use some kind of paint that glowed in the dark, withstood dog urine, and would call 911 if it sensed that the house was on fire. Or something.

At any rate, I was not about to pay ANYONE fifty dollars to paint a pair of eights on the concrete next to my mailbox.

Wow, you sure have to admire the entrepreneureal spirit, though (even if you can't spell it either).

I thought the hat was Roast Beef's.  He wore something quite similar to it (sans logo) when he hacked into Yahoo.

I further thought that the hat was left there as a taunt.

I've been wrong before.

You should see if you can pay him $25 to paint one 8, then just hire a kid for $5 to copy it.

In my old neighborhood the fire deparment would do it for free. It's so incredibly useful to them that they were willing to take the loss just to get the numbers out there.

Man, this ending with the moral lesson was even more like The Game.

So was Beef in on it from the get-go?

To me the Cadillac ballcap said "improbable combination of upper crust and trailer trash," which is Ray to a T.

The thing i've just thought of...what if it had been Beef instead of Ray?
Oh man!

I think Beef would have fled in terror immediately after getting the invitation.

In fact, I suspect that he chickened out the day before, and that "Dude so like listen uh I got plans tomorrow" was a ruse to get the ticket off his hands.

has anyone else seen the websnark writeup of this particular storyline?  it is a pretty good little meditation on the sorts of things we've been talking about here.

Man I hate that site.

Also, I think Beef would have been excited to eat dinner with CH. Seems like the kind of thing he would get enjoyment from.

I assume that CH was in the house.

Maybe, but the hand on the flash bulb is a paw, whereas CH had very long spindly fingers.

Did anybody else ever wonder whether or not Roast Beef was in on it?

This storyline was the most wonderful way to return to the internet.  And infact, this is why I love Achewood.  It's like a warm mug of cocoa.  

And yes, put me down for one T-shirt please.

Thank you, Jough.  I suppose now is a good time to come out with it.  During my hiatus, I sustained a horrible but humorous injury to my forbrain, so while I am capable of posting, I can no longer read anything anybody else says.  The reading parts are gone, but the ego has doubled to compensate.
