that someone should really go fix up the Achewood Wiki, the Achewiki, which could serve as a knowledge base for all things Achewood?

I love Ray's hoodie.  And it's good to see the otter's OK - although the penultimate panel is very moving.:(

But you can never have enough hugs references.

The artwork in that was just seminal!
The shot of the hoof, pulling back through Phillipe's face to the overhead, with the rain tumbling past the lens. It is so filmic you can see it move.
And so it was Ray and Tic-Tac (not that it looked like a Victorian prostitutes gun, but well, I guess Onstad isn't a gun guy).
Didn't expect that one!

Ooooh, doggs.  He totally altered the shape of the silouette in this strip.  Go back and look at Friday's.  I totally think he did it on purpose to mislead us, and possibly to represent Phillipe's worst fears, but dag, yo.  We done got lied to.  

Not that I mind.  This strip was gorgeous.  The trees, baby.  The trees.

The trees are very nice, but the Tori Amos line is brilliant.  

What a perfect way for expressing Beef's fears and longings all at once.

Man, those trees look like an Escher woodcut or something. Totally frikkin' awesome.

I guess Beef figures that if Tori's willing to breastfeed a pig, then he might have a chance.

I love that Tori Amos is obviously Beef's secret imaginary girlfriend.

This story is certainly up there with the Touch Me Not incident for emotional power (on Philippe's part) - he and nature do not do well.

And for a bonus 20 points who knows what gun Ray used?

Onstad's really reached a higher plateau with his artwork all throughout this storyline - the cars, the rain, those scary trees, the Super-Secret Ice Cream Shoppe, the lingering sense of dread, dead deer and scared people.

I'd love to see this story as a Flash animated movie.

That whole elaborate, somewhat dragged, storyline was worth this strip.  Let it end here.  Beef does it again.

This was a laugh-out-loud strip.
