Maybe I'm just old, but if I found that stuff in my junk e-mail folder I would be momentarily fascinated by it before coming to the correct conclusion that some crazy-ass bitch was obsessively e-mailing me and now she won't anymore and, in the long run, it's bad for her and not bad for me.

Not this one. Not Miss Belgium 1974.

I think it's a nice touch that, assuming that today's strip is set round about today's date, all this correspondence must have been just sat there, unread, for well over a year.

That would explain why she didn't see the entries on The Dude & Catastrophe, look it up in the phone book, and just call the bar.

Ladies and men who have had a lot of crazy sex in their times will probably go "meh" to this strip.

I have not had a lot of crazy sex in my time, but I stand by my "meh".

The ichthyologist and I finally disagree. Not getting the 'PBF-y' references, I loved this.

Of course, it could just be that it involves Cornelius, too.

Do you mean you don't see how it's like PBF or you don't know what PBF is? If it's the latter then we mean Perry Bible Fellowship, a comic that's nothing like its title would imply.

No no, VW... I meant "ALL ladies AND men who etc".

Though I can see how that wasn't made clear enough.

You know what's jumped the shark?  The damn "Jump the Shark" phrase and the acidic anti-creator internet forum attitude that goes along with it.

Achewood is Peanuts, it's going to be around for decades and it's going to have distinctive moods and tones that vary as time goes on.  Did Schultz jump the shark when Charlie Brown lost the unibrow and the bitterness got replaced with longing?  Nah, shit just changed.  It's a negative thing to be ripping apart a serialized work piece by piece.

This was funny.  It fits Cornelius' character well.

As to PBF... the running characteristic about PBF is that in 3 panels a world is created and then destroyed with savage irony.  This sort of fits, but it's pretty different.  And since when is being PBF-y a bad thing?

I'm going to have to disagree with you and this and say religion. Or maybe truffles.
