So no flaming gayness in Teódor's future, eh (although he does seem to be taking better care of himself in his late years...).

[KeithHernandez]

Does he die jogging?



Also, Ray looks really sweet in the 2039 one.  Roast Beefs gave me a little chuckle I guess, besides that mainly laughed because I interpreted the question I asked to be a yes.

[Ruta Bagas]

I wonder if 2031 Philippe's look of troubled bemusement is a result of trying to understand why Teodor isn't around anymore.

Actually, speaking of Philippe, he looks disturbingly smug in his last panel... as though he has finally rid his world of all the Problems adults have and is now free to make jelly beans however he pleases.

I never did trust that otter.

I can't tell if that's Molly or Beef. Either is just weird (after all that, what could possibly make Molly leave? And Beef... well, doesn't strike me as the transgendered sort, born semi-intersexed or no.)

And Philippe... God, Philippe is five. It is sad to think that all of the guest strips about Philippe being old are off the mark, because Philippe is five.

NOT SHOWN: Pat defeated in re-election bid (R-CA), LN 'experimenting' in college and settling down with Chuckle Bot, Nice Pete smoking a whole mess of meth and dying eighty years old at the typewriter, Doc Andretti's Magreux Dog wearing his Nobel prize for cybernetic ears, Todd's scheme to shake down the Dude and Catastrophe for protection money going horribly awry, Lyle earning tenure.

Vlad smiling knowingly at a stack of grainy photos of Todd, cashing his weekly blackmail check from Corny.

Envelope, finally pulling up his Re-Elect Pat sign, noticing a suspicious smell - almost like rotten squirrel - and getting his trowel.

Blister chillin' with Mao back in heaven.

This strip totally pays off yesterday. Oh Onstad, forgive my hubris for doubting thee.

Also, it's Molly. She leaves, Beef dies. That's how it goes.

[KeithHernandez]

Oh shit, i didn't even recognize Ray;s ears cut off.  Took me a while of wondering why his head looked different in the lecture pic to figure out what was really easy to figure out by looking at either side of that.

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?

Dammit, once again... I say snarky things about a strip, and the next day I'm proven totally wrong as I'm handed incredible, crazy-fuckin'-genius-hilarious entertainment by Mr. Onstad.

It looks like Beef goes a similar route to Rustmouth, except he gives in to alcohol and pills and dies an early death. I love how Ray got some sort of crazy accident that leaves him earless... and then Teodor gets obese, loses the weight, and then dies early anyway. El Diabetes is just too much for his system. And Philippe...well, he's so much younger than everyone else in the strip, plus he's the Eternal Child archetype anyway. Great, great strip. I lol'ed.

I think she's leaving him because of his drug problem. She looks pissed. And apparently she was the last thing keeping him alive.

I just noticed Roast Beef is the only dead one without a grave. I guess that's suitably depressing, not to mention the inverse void box.

[wombat]

OMG, this is depressing. I want to go back to bed and crawl under a blanket for the rest of the day. Thanks, Mr Onstad.

[robot_god]

HELL of glad to see Beef smoking cigarettes again.

same reaction here. I dont need my morning funny to remind me of my mortality and struggle.

OK, I'll say it before anyone else does: Then why the hell do we read Achewood?

[Arachno-capitalist]

Achewood doesnt usually have 3 dead characters, a divorce, alcoholism, obesity, ear loss, and a lonely otter all in one strip without a single line of speak.
