20 Dec 2007 - The most painful part of the loafer
« on: December 20, 2007, 09:15:07 am »
Linky.

Maybe I just don't have enough emotional investment in the characters to feel sorry for them, but this strip and yesterday's both made me laugh my arse off.

I also like how the strip's title on the archive page is "The Needle and the Damage Done".

I guess they must not have a tattoo removal place in the local underground.

I'm glad that I've never felt the desire to rip my own skin off.

I hope it is just a temporary tattoo. I hope that so hard. Of all the people for this to happen to, Mr Bear is the most tragic.

I'm pretty sure he's violating the aftercare instructions there.  Might end up with some scarring.

Hi Foreboding Orb!

Agreed. Look at his frigging mouth, I would never have thought to see such brutal anguish from Mr. Bear. It's good, it's tough to read in a way.

Heeeellllo Achewood! Right!

Agreed - It is very sad to see someone who is usually so debonair be degraded first by this tat, and then by his self-loathing because of the tat.

The idea that someone flipping out over a tattoo could be similar to an addiction-freak-out is rad.

Well-drawn tears.

A+++, fast delivery, would do business with this strip again!

I actually thought yesterday's was hilarious but today's was too much for me. Maybe tomorrow I'll like it?

The bear's initial reaction of whimpering quickly gives way to intense anger. I do not like this strip, I do not like it at all. I am uncomfortable with the idea of Connie suffering, dammit!

Cornelius suffering makes me so upset. Perhaps the stress of finals contributes to this, but when I saw that old-timer so distraught, I almost couldn't read Achewood anymore.
