Aw, that one's just an old Chestnut.

I know you're all rooting for me to make another wood joke, but you're barking up the wrong tree.

A bit late on this thread, but I shall bring us back on topic I s'pose (hah):

I found achewood through Elftor.  the first strip I saw was the philippe / emeril eyebrows strip (I caiiin't find it.  my eyesight must be going bad.  I could've sworn I knew the year.  I'll edit this later if I find it) and then from there I read the whole archive and every strip since then each day.

Ditto.
A friend was making me read Elftor, and I was looking through the link section for other comics, and tried a couple. Then I came across Achewood, and the text under the link, which has changed (to "A momentary diversion on the road to the grave") just sent me right there.
I note it's also made it to a front page link too.
Haven't read Elftor in months and months though. And, the only other comic I read (well, apart from Penny Arcade but I read that for the column too) - Drew Weing's journal strip, is finished!
He's moving over to story based comics, which should be cool, given how cool Pup, and some of his older ones were.

How I found Achewood is a long and sweet love story actually, but to avoid being sappy I'll tell you that my boyfriend-to-be and I were working for the same horrible company together and the only thing that kept us sane was reading "The Parking Lot is Full" comics online, until they were sued by Disney, and ended the strip.  We then set out to find a suitable replacement - hence he introduced me to Achewood.

I have a specific memory of the comercial for knives one being one of the first I read.

The strip that comes to mind for me (although I don't know if this was the first one I saw or not) was Ray and RB selling software that tells you when you should buy eggs and milk.

Any references to Martin Landau's Oscar winning performance in that timeless classic film Ed Wood?

When I first saw Achewood I thought it was so dumb.  I remember my brother showing me the Antiques Roadshow one, and he was cracking up and I was was all sitting there thinking how dumb my brother was.  So after months of him bugging me to read it, I finally caved in and started at the beginning and read through the archives.

Dang it sounds like I was forced to read it.  Actually I was hooked right away when I started at the beginning.  The very first strip still makes me laugh.

Memories Sweet.

I love that one.
It was the first one I introduced to my mom, since every Sunday at home, when eating, they would put Antiques Roadshow on. I would just sit there making bitter, snide comments about it, since it is one of the most annoying things ever. Well, generally anything with like, real people on TV is.
So I greatly appreciated that strip.

Indeed, I live in the UK too.
My old profile name thingy would have told you that, but it got ditched.
Ah well.

Huh, so that's what killed PLIF? I always assumed that they just got bored and stopped. God only knows that happens to enough webcomics anyway.

Anyway, semi-romantic conversion experiences are always good. I think I ended up sitting the SO down at my computer and marathonning it for him until he Saw The Light[tm]. ... wow, it sounds sort of like a religious cult, doesn't it?

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


If it were memepool, you're welcome, you ingrate. :)


What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Were you responsible for posting it on Memepool?

If so, THANK YOU VERY MUCH MR. BOBBY ISOSCELES!!!  I'm going to mail you a kitten.

Sorry Bobby, I been Woodin' it since early '02.  But props on spreading Achewood to the masses through one of my favorite sites.

I got a perfect kitten for you if you want to come get him.  Seriously.
