@achewood The bus is crossing Klickitat St., home of Ramona Quimby. It's pretty swank these days. No sign of Nosmo King.

Yes, those last three panels were the essence of Achewood. At least to me - and I'm fallible.

I enjoyed seeing Lyle and Vlad buddying around (if their interaction counts as that).  They seem like drinking buddies.

Overall, the thing that made the strip for me was that during the GOF arc there's been all this speculation, what's gonna happen, what is the meaning of this that & the other, and so on. So I stared at the last three panels, all "what am I supposed to see here?", and it was kind of a relief when it dawned on me that It's just a dick joke. (albeit a beautifully rendered dick joke)

A very welcome change of pace. Now let's start crackin' heads, dammit!  ;)

I just glanced at the comic again, with the thought "just a dick joke" in my head, and noticed how lyle's exclamation is right in the very center of the comic.  It's also the kind of panel that could stand alone on its own, and it would still amuse the crap out of me.

Oh.  And where are my ##### ******?

Hmm.

edit:  Just what I thought.

I read the last three panels in the correct order and loved every bit of them. Most of all because of the incredibly contrast between the noisy first half (2 thirds?) of the comic and the total silence in the final panels. All Cornelius calmly walking back to his room, carpet muffling his footfalls, the well oiled ball bearings in the drawer barely making a sound, a near silent click as the lock turns back.
It's not just that he's trying to be quiet about it, it's just that he is Cornelius: the very calm, detached nursing home of the achewood suburb, the lightly dusty, single occupant manor next to the frathouse, he doesn't *do* rowdy crowding around the computer and boner-sporting-drunken-#####-fighting. So yeah, me likey contrast.

I have a friend like that. except its for Scotland (don't ask how you can buy scotland-related things... I dont know.). She constantly talks about her "scottish heritage", runs down irish people, etc.

I am a bad person, because I constantly make anti-scottish or pro-irish comments around her. she gets wayyyy too upset. it's funny,but also a bit upsetting.

When I worked at Busch Gardens (the European one, not the African one), I worked in a shop in the Scotland section selling all sorts of Scotland-themed merchandise. I was the most knowledgable person in the shop on tartans and that sort of thing, mainly because I knew how to spell "tartan" and spent a lot of time organzing mugs with Scottish last names on them. We used to get chewed out by guests on the regular for not knowing more about the Scottish stuff we sold. We usually responded, "Dude, you are in a fuckin' THEME PARK. The kids behind this counter will be selling cameras and film in another 30 minutes." At least, that's what we said after they left. You don't want to rile up a Scot, and you REALLY don't want to rile up someone who's convinced himself he's a Scot.

My dad goes on kicks like that where he gets all excited about our heritage. Except nobody knows if it's Irish or Scottish and our name has become so mangled that we can't even really trace it back. We could be related to McKeown's or McGowans or Cowans or Cowns and so on. So basically my dad gets arbitrarily into whichever nationality is cool at the time depending on whether it's near St. Patrick's Day or he's just seen part of Braveheart.

Technically, coverage of the fight didn't even occur monday either.

Maybe he's just trying to really build the suspense?  But we've still got two more days to go through, including the turkey and brandy or whatever that's about..

A true cynic would say that Onstad is waiting for a really good speculative post on this board to forward the storyline.

But, I'm not that cynical so I'm just positing this as a sort of a joke.

Inspired by this I think it would be a good idea for first posters everyday to, along with the permalink and the proper date for the strip, also post the alt text.  Yeah, that's a good job for you 3 am obsessives.  Get to it.

Is Barry being sarcastic when he writes (The Tenmen - Gasp!)?

I don't think so, but it sounds that way.
