I think Beef offs himself, he's the only one without a grave (No, that doesn't *necessarily* makes sense, but that's how I roll).

The absurdity is veiled by the poetic charm with which the poet invests it.

Think of the good times! Philippe apparently gets to go back to France! Ray visits a haunted house! Teodor gets a music player with cordless headphones!

Dear Onstad:

I liked Roast Beef's extrapolated life the first time around back when it was called JOHNNY CASH

I read this strip slowly in columns, top to bottom and left to right.

Then I play "Breathe Me" by Sia.

Ray is Nate (player, breast man), Teodor is David (gay), Philippe is Claire (because he lives), and Beef is Ruth (got depression).

Also, ain't no substitute for smokin' and drinkin', even in the bright future of 2026.

Philippe seems to be pretty happy in that last panel. Either he forgets quickly, or he's remarkably sanguine about being a terrible cursed immortal.

See, I was thinking Beef didn't die, he was just swallowed/crushed by circumstances.  Like a fate worse than death - going on breathing, but just... like lying there.

Also, does the candelabra play into Ray's ear loss?

it looks like it caused the fire that burnt off his ears.

in a weird way I hope Achewood lasts long enough to where Onstad feels compelled to include these changes in the storyline (like Teodor's dying the first time).

edit: also, Beef's squares gradually fading to black are a nice touch.

I dunno, Ray was pictured with the candelabra four years prior to his ear-losing accident. Whatever Ray got into, it must have been bad. Who knows how it happened, but if he had been burned, don't you think Onstad would have rendered him with a few more grossly disfiguring injuries, a la Zell and Cory?

I agree...this glimpse into the Achewood future was totally compelling. I would love to peek into Onstad's brain to see the full storyline from alpha to omega. It would be really cool to see some of these events hinted at in future storylines. They're so surprising because as far as I can tell, nothing has been hinted of these to date.

It is Molly... see how her nose is white and very different from Beef's? What is she doing, identifying his body? Or is she in the hospital with him as he dies of heart failure?

Roast Beef dies in 2039.  His drug habit has left him so destitute that Molly must stand in for the sassy black lady at his funeral.

it's Ray, so you know if he catches fire that he'll have the money and/or luck to come out of it comparatively unscathed.

Okay, I'll ask it, no one else is dark-hearted enough:

Did Teodor get back in shape in his declining year or was he just, uhm, dying of cancer?

Phillipe lives forever because Phillipe is everything that is innocent and hopeful within us.

Everything that is innocent and hopeful within us is too stupid to know that it's supposed to grow old and die.
