It makes sense. A fledgeling web comic, without a support structure, fan base or publishing deal is very much like a small rodent in the wilderness. An established web comic, which has seen press in major publications, been published as books, and phas enough of a fan base to have not one but TWO messageboards devoted to Aspergian dissection of its minutiae can go longer without feeding or breeding, so to speak, and thus can devote more resources toward "sentience" -- namely, AchewoodminusRay.

Aspergian dissection

To be fair, though, we're more Aspergian and "Tha 'Bar" is more... ass burgerian.

have you guys seen that message board that is just one guy who posted something like 3000 messages? Only he is allowed to post in it, and he stickies some posts, locks some, unlocks some, shuffles posts between boards...

it is upsetting.

Meanwhile, all of you have missed the fact that Ray asked Beef about dinner plans even though he already ate a couple tacos, and Beef clearly did not call him out on this, which means it's something Ray does often.

It could just be...

a continuity error.

I... I love this. This is what the internet was made for.

The words "Jough" and "asymptotic" come to mind.

here it is. "the end of the internet."

Yeah, this thing's been doing the rounds recently.  I saw this blog post today which compares comments about it from Something Awful, Digg, reddit and 4chan.  Guess which group of commenters are the biggest arseholes?

I have to say, if they included YouTube they'd throw the rankings.   The modern invention of compound epithets such as "Niggerjew" has allowed the YouTube commenter to push the Racial Slur to Word ratio from the before thought of limit of 1:1 to an astounding 1.25:1, except for one prodigy commenter who is currently working at 3:1, but only when you count "Faggot".
