"that night he tried to commit suicide... but it was so bare that all he could do was roll off the bed until the people downstairs complained."

yes. Straight Blues.

This is a pretty funny "strip", but probably one of the hardest Achewood threads to name.

I was unmoved by this, until the last sentence, which made it all worthwhile.

I'm guessing we get another reading exercise tomorrow where they actually meet.

I quite liked this one but it does raise a question:

When something such as this off-format strip happens, do you ever sit back for a moment and wonder... was the artist playing around with different styles and approaches so as to branch out and experiment or was it a default because the goals of that day's strip weren't going to be accomplished easily in the conventional format?

Because, were I a comic strip artist, I could see myself often saying "aw, crap, I can't figure out how to get the funny and the plot development into the same strip without drawing way more than I want to and putting off future strips in the effort so... I'll draw a couple of things and just put my script for the comic next to it."

In this particular case, I have no idea either way and no judgment upon either reality. It's just a thing.

I am reminded of Sullivan's Bear and Dried Bird, and I suspect that, when I search the archives in the years to come, I will be just as surprised by this strip as I am by that one. This is certainly the right medium; otherwise, we would have like fifteen panels of Ray just talking and Lyle nodding, like the non-Socrates participant in any Socratic dialectic ever.

or, if he'd tried to make it an actual strip, it would've taken three days (which probably means a week), and the board would've probably whined about how slowly the strip was moving

Oh! How precious! nuero tried to get it to sound like, "Y O U R
