February 17th, 2006 - We's chuffed, we is!

interesting. can't wait til monday to see ray kick S&M's ass...

but since it's a 3-day american holiday, i guess we'll have to wait until tuesday.

and since tuesday is tuesday, i guess we'll have to wait til wednesday.

but since the chicken comes wednesday, the new strip will appear thursday.

oh well, i guess we'll see.

i think i'll get a stomach tattoo that reads "GOF4LIFE," all thugged out and tupacesque

Ted Cobb shouldn't be so (crude and) feckless.

So you can get into GOF just by having a bleedin' hilarious blog? That's just wrong, that is.

I'm not too impressed with Ted and Barry yet, but maybe Beef is right and they will unleash the frikkin' fury when the time comes. What am I saying, of course Beef is right.

Anyone else try googling for "Gasps and Giggles"? I know I did.

So are they talking about themselves in the fifth panel or did Onstad fuck up? I'm kind of confused.

Yep, looks like there was a little screw-up with the speech bubbles.

Looks like Ray is now taking a bigger role in commanding the troops directly (as opposed to letting Beef do the talking)!

This is Ted's first go at the American Fight?

This sounds like there is a British equivalent. I shudder at the thought of an all-British GOF. Especially where everyone talks like street urchins from My Fair Lady. All lovely-like.

Oh and hello everyone. Registered DTA (due to awesomeness) etc etc. Thought I'd slip in quietly among all the other newbs.

I'd post something relevant here, but I would hate to interrupt the parade of noobs.

Also, WELCOME to ALL.

You been drinking booze for... breakfast. Rudie, can't fail. (That's right isn't it?)

Someday, I hope to find someone in Britain who actually speaks like those two. I thought they'd all died out at the beginning of the twentieth century. So it goes.

The fight with Sound and Motion should go into the more surreal side of Achewood. It would be like having it all  in one storyline, and that would be indescribably awesome.

Oh no, that is perfect.  That makes me so happy.  Almost as happy as if the thread title had been "Blogging this fight through a tube in your face."

Apparently Onstad's using the same BritSpeak Generator from the Oasis strips.

But I can't possibly fit this accent with Feckless Ted Cobb. For me he's still Sex Machine of From Dusk Till Dawn.

And Barry King... The dude's got pit stains with his shirt off.

Maybe the GOF's originally from Britain and got exported to the USA. Just like American Idol.

Not entirely relating to today's strip, but something that occurred to me.

Do we know that Rodney Stubbs has, in fact, passed on? Though Ray's mom spoke about him in the past tense, perhaps that's only because he's gone as far as they're concerned? Is it at all possible that he could make an appearance later in the arc?

Listen everyone.


"Can you think of anyone who has a more gigantic and deep seated fury at the world?" is the best Beef reply in this situation.  Beef is now the wise puppet master, pulling Hissing Ray's strings like some sort of... I dunno... Bela Lugosi.

So it's satire, is it?  Well that changes everything!

Yeah, definitely a great Beef reply... he has eased my worries of the group's ragtagness.

The Britishness almost justifies those dudes looking sort of lame.

This is another one of those arcs where one must worry about the difference between the day-by-day strip, versus the strip in book form. For us midnight refreshers, we want a treat each day. In book form, though, you'd want it as gloriously drawn out as possible.
