Or the one that grabbed you and made you a crazed fan.  What was it?

The first I saw was "Ray did you ever think that these crummy chimichangas are my way of reaching out for help dammit"

Hooked ever since...

I think it was around here, though I'm not totally sure... memory hazy...  circuits failing...

Edit:  Wait, I'm on crack.  I was reading Achewood before the summer started.  The strip that V cited was the first one I emailed to my sister to get her hooked.  Uhhh... never mind.  Like I said, I'm not terribly bright.

"But Ray! Cowboys!"

I wasn't immediately hooked, but it didn't take long.

The first one I read was a rerun of the French Fry Saga (thanks to a Lileks link). I went back to the beginning to get some context. When I got to Bedtime I knew things would be good.

Mmm, "what the hell people" is my avatar in a very confrontational forum...

That bedtime joke was used in an episode of the excellent "Father Ted" years ago, Graham Lineham (a British comedy writer) is a fan of Achewood and did one of the fan art strips (the "Lyle's Cussing" strip in miniature),  so the reference really made me  :up: :up:

hmm, I can't find the fan art, where'd it go?

A friend of mine started posting URLs to random Achewood strips occasionally. The two that got me checking out the strip were the Liquor Cabinet Taste Test and A Change of Operating systems. I think it was "I typed 'start'. Nothing. Nothing!" that really grabbed me (in the "falling to the ground, drooling helplessly" sense).

I started reading regularly about the time of Teodor's Christmas party.

I had heard about Achewood early on, read the first few strips, and thought it was exceptionally lame.

Then back on the day this strip appeared:
http://www.achewood.com/index.php?date=02072003

My dad, of all people, found a link to Achewood somewhere and thought it was funny and sent it to me.  I randomly read some other strips in the archives and found a few that were funny enough to warrant going back and reading the whole thing.

Since then I've been reading the strip every day.

Damn, not only do I not remember the first one I read, I don't even remember how I got there in the first place.  I don't read Lileks.

That's a damn shame - the reason I started this thread is because Achewood hit me WHAM straight between the eyes - with the bullet of MIRTH.

That's about the time I got into it.
It was around Beef and Ray's roadtrip, possibly during.
Though I do kind of utterly fail to remember properly since I read the entire archive the next coupla days.

I'm another can't remember.  But I think I got here either through Lileks or Memepool.

I discovered achewood through Ken Layne's blog (www.kenlayne.com).  He linked to the one where Ray and Beef were prank calling Marmaduke.
