1-5-06: Ancient Shenanigan

This is fun. This is fun. Fun that was this.

I like this strip, but I'm scared, of the costume, and also that the baby (gub!) will be a common sight. Until now the baby has been sort of an unseen legend.

Ancient Shenanigan and Ancient Situation BOTH?  Someone is obsessed I tell you.

And yes, children's programming is repetive; huzzah!

We were told this was NOT going to become a comic strip about a baby.

That being said, I liked it. There's something pleasing about Onstad paying someone to entertain his kid so he can go drink whiskey. It means I'm not the only one.

I would have thought the title for this thread should be "gub."

Okay, so where's the Anigif of Teodor's Teletubby dance?

C'mon, I can't be the only one who was thinking about it.

I can't decide if touching his nose was actually a pre-arranged signal or if Teodor is just riffing here. I'm thinking the latter. I'd also like to think that in panel 3 he was doing the Running Man.

Teletubbies suck.  Onstad should pay Teodor to dress as Dora the Explorer, with Philippe as Boots the Monkey.

Soon the comic will be about the baby, and there will be "Alive Stuffed Animal updates" at the bottom instead of baby updates.

How long until the baby gets her own blog?

<roast beef>

when i was young we didn't have much money nope we didn't have much money at all. gramma K couldn't afford any barney the dinosaur stuff so she took old grimace dolls out of three dollar happy meals and told us that barney was disfigured because he had the sass to go tromping around creeks

it was hell of disappointing when i found the truth ten years later, but i guess it was a good thing because we saved money on kids toys that showbiz woulda just destroyed anyway

Fanfic, Bobby?  Has your life sunken this low already?

Do you want to talk about it?

You're among friends here.  It's okay.  The first step is admitting you have a PROBLEM.

This strip was wonderful, as were the last few. I haven't checked in in like a week so of course Onstad would go and pull out all the stops.

Oh please. Onstad can do strips and material involving the baby if he wants to so long as it's in this amusing context and not all "OH LOOK AT THE BABY, BOY COPING WITH THEM SURE CAN HECTIC! HA HA!""

Me, I'm really enjoying going to Achewood day after day and finding a new strip there. You're spoiling me big time, Onstad...
