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.

Onstad: "Man this seemed like a good idea at first, i mean i hadnt used todd in awhile and cocaine is always a lark.... I need some sort of immediate terminus to this train wreck. Pop."

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.
