There's no reason for even Connie to use the word "mazard", but I still like where this is all going.


Edit: Sorry if my chosen thread title conflicts with (http://achewood.com/index.php?date=12052003) in your mind-banks.

No no no this doesn't make sense it's too soon for a new comic what is happening???

[sensate]

Holy wow, trying too hard much? That's what you get when you replace alcohol with Adderall.

A little convoluted language is fun.  This was more like a chore.  Still, interesting.

[jay-ell]

I'm sorry, the correct thread title is, "At the Scow with half their eyes on."

Also, when did Ash start ghostwriting for 'Stad?

[Jaded Tersk]

I liked the language.  It's a deliberate thing now to open a can of word-ass as overkill.  The man's just trying to write as if we're not here to tell him what we think, and I like that.

The best part by a mile though is the observation that if you stop touching a trash-item you've found, you are over a barrel for littering.

It's better than that, it's Altimeter Tim.

I can't help but feel that the last two strips are a reaction to the readers of the Portland Mercury who post angry messages about Onstad using big words in his food reviews.  It's like he comes over here to his bastard baby to blow off all his ten dollar words.  And I'm fine with that.

Wow. I didn't know this was a thing. What gives, Portland? People are going to his articles just to get angry about a guy using "big words"?

[side_show]

Well, you see AC, this is the world in which the Kardashians are famous.  It makes me shake my head a little too, but it is what it is.

Portland only appreciates vocabulary ironically.

Then it puts a bird on it.

[theinevitable]

I get annoyed when people use unnecessary fancy vocabulary, but that article did not strike me as doing that.

...this comic did, though.

[CortesDiddy]

I think there was one review of his that really did get quite unnecessarily purple and rambling for a food review. That kind of fueled a backlash of uppity bitchiness that's lasted far longer than it should have, but that's apparently the nature of the comment culture that's developed on that website. A lot of blogs and shit on the web have that "miserable internet ghetto" feel going on where half of the regular commenters will never ever get along with the other half.
