  Do you still worry about "waking the baby" when they are what, 6-7 years old?

If I'd spent a whole day at Disneyland with a 6 year old, fuck yeah. I'd probably slip a sedative into their chocolate milk at that point.

[jay-ell]

IIRC, BabyStad is just a hair younger than my son, which would make her just about to turn 6.

I think there's another kid, too. I seem to recall something a while back where he said "buy stuff to feed our growing family."

Either way, though, I mean, seriously. Do, or do not, fer reals.

If you have to worry about them waking up after a day at the c*ck house,

Just want to be vocal again about loving the fuck out of this filter.

edit: Oh wait, did Ash predict the filter and get alternately filtered. There's so many layers.

But if he's sick of it, is it fair to compare him to Watterson who produced 7 comics a week for 10 years when Onstad has produced much much less over that same amount of time*.  Or is it merely a function of time? For him to be sick of it even if he's not got nearly as much done in that time.

For fuck's sake, it should be evident that me bringing up C & H in the first place should be an indication that I think they're equally great comic strips. For fuck's sake. The part about "if only Achewood had the same output..." takes place in la la land, a land of imagination where there's rainbows for breakfast and Optimus Prime plays the bass in your band. I was merely wishing out loud. I'll put away the chess board again, don't worry...

Okay so I was bored this morning.

Apparently The Lancet is an online medical journal.  The only thing Google can tell me about  Space Oreo is he/she is an author on Urban Dictionary.  Kombucha boarding sounds made up, but Kombucha is a real thing.

Apparently The Lancet is an online medical journal.

It's also, you know, one of the oldest and most famous medical journals around.

No, I had no idea,  sorry.

My old friend in Tucson, Adam, he swears by kombucha.

It is also the most disgusting thing commerically available for ingestion in the world.

Anthony Bourdain's all "I'd prefer a Big Mac" to that foul foul shit.

I'm a somewhat adventurous eater, I mean I wouldn't win any contests or anything, but I'm game for most things people put in front of me, but:

Kombucha is available commercially and can be made at home by fermenting tea using a visible, solid mass of yeast and bacteria which forms the kombucha culture which is often referred to as the "mushroom" or the "mother".

What the fuck? That's like the most terrible thing I could dream up to ingest not involving shit or mucus or some gross animal part. From that description I'd rather drink piss.

LFM: did you live in Tucson or does your friend just live there now?

[AugustWest]

...fermented... using a visible, solid mass of yeast and bacteria... which is often referrred to as the... "mother".

Isn't that pretty much how vinegar is made?

[littlefallsmets]

I've never lived in Tucson, no.

Buddy from high school who bounced around all over the place before falling in love with the place and getting his masters in social work there.

I've visited, though. I'd live there if there was any meaningful work for myself and my girlfriend.

Great arthouse cinema, great bookstores. Truly solid fuckin' college town with nice Mexican and Native America touches around the edges.

Sorry to threadjack this thread back to original topic, but:


Seeing this "we're back" strip kind of offends me.  It really offends me.  I spent months of my life checking achewood first thing when waking up and last thing before going to sleep.  Spent hours at a time browsing the archives.  But now I click the random comic button once and then I no longer want to read.

I don't know if I even find it funny anymore.  The characters used to really be alive.  They would breathe and communicate with you, but now, who are they?  I was fully immersed and absorbed in the world and then it disintegrated.  It feels like I've been broken up with.  I was completely in love, and now she ignores my calls.

I don't think it's possible to get back to that place.  The characters have been dead for too long, I don't check the site that often, I haven't posted here or even lurked in months.  I don't even like webcomics anymore.  Just the Drew and Natalie comics, maybe cat and girl once in the blue, all the rest of them can fuck off and die.

I've honestly been hurt, and don't believe it.  I hope this shitty comic doesn't even come back.

Fuck.

You could always pay three dollars a month to very occasionally read his tossed-off sketches?
