The Bear out-depressed The Talking Cat.

Because Old trumps Anxiety Disorder.

That's totally important to understand.

Philippe is first alarmed, then delighted, by the Moonwalk.

I just noticed that Ray's eloquent thoughts on the subject in the Assetbar are posted for free.

You will never feel joy that is unchecked by the injuries of experience and failure.

You don't get to choose your Elvis.  Your Elvis is there, like the sun.

The bear's point is that you do have an Elvis, somewhere, unless you have confronted the reality of your own impending death without flinching and without becoming obsessed, reactive, irrational, or suggestible.

This strip demonstrates an element of Achewood that sets it neck and pecs above the pack: Onstad does not regard death as a joke. Funny, yes, but not a joke. Where else do you find that in American culture?
