@achewood My bicycle is parked in the living room. A tub of tartar sauce sits open on the counter. Truly, the evidence of a wife being away too long.

I totally empathize with Todd.

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

"Pussy nougat" is a great term.

I don't know if this turns around the mediocre state of this plotline but... headsasplodin' always helps.

However, I think you may've messed up the link.

Hmm indeed. I think that I rather like Onstad's take on an alive stuffed animal and cracked-out squirrel taking on the SNL comedy genre.

hm.

I am a big fan of a phrase being so perfect that your head explodes.

I believe I like this strip Okay if there will be more, but I will upgrade if it's the end of the plotline. Yes.

Though I appreciated the alt-text because I couldn't quite work out what was up with the art alone. At first I thought a burst of "pussy-nougat" had literally made an appearance, and I have no humor paradigm for dealing with that.

Further observations:

I've just realized I got the phrase "burst of pussy-nougat" (complete with hyphen, which isn't in the strip) from the general format of a line of shampoos I used in my youth. "Burst of Cherry-Almond" was one.

I don't listen to much classical, but I have been listening to a Bach motet during this reading and posting process and it is pretty much perfectly inappropriate.




Lately it seems that all Achewood does is remind me of childhood things.

So wait, if Téodor's doing impressions on screen, then who's manning the camera? (ooooOOOOoooo...)

EDIT: Oh wait, never mind, the camera's on a tripod, a remote-controlled rotating one apparently.

Thanks, all, for making me feel like a jerk by leaving it to me to ask the obvious question. And that is:
What the hell is Quimarello?

Don't even pretend like you knew either. 'Quimarello' is currently #95 on Google trends, Oct 17, 2007, above The Colbert Report. You are all terrible, lame faux-intellectual hipsters...

And I am so ashamed.
