@achewood I haven't had a haircut since July. I'm hoping to, "wait it out."

Well, I'm disappointed. I really wanted another Roomba strip.

...

Still good, though.

I love this strip almost entirely. It's a beautiful thing, and it's totally Achewoodian, for the lack of a better word -- a perfect blend of whimsy and mundanity.

That, and the entire idea that bass in the Acheverse also talk is so absolutely perfect.

I don't know, it's about time for a new character.  And maybe Onstad can market a Barry Bass to hang on your wall.  It will talk about relationship problems all day (instead of singing) and will come with a pack of Guinness.

This addition to the Beef and Teodor talking action figures, with roomba bases.  He'll make a killing.

Beef looks so sad in the first two panels.  I just want to hug the guy.  Barry arrived at just the right moment.

Took me a scarily long time (well OK about two minutes) to place that.
Stunning.

I just wonder what Barry would've done had there been bait. Probably just ignored it and left it to the more Ray-like giraffe, I suspect.

Very nice strip.  Indeed, Achewoodian.

It's got that sombre feeling of unexpectedness.  A bass is talking.  Beef accepts this and responds casually, of course.  It's great.  Think he'll stick around longer than a three strip storyline?

Yes, I like this giraffe.  An unassuming fellow.

Barry actually seemed concerned that Beef didn't have any bait on his hook.  I mean that's why he came up initially, to give him a heads up right?  I don't think Bass eat worms anyway, and aren't they pretty hard to catch?  Now we know why, they are a lot smarter than we suspected.

Oh BTW, I loved this strip.  Best of the year so far.  And i'm not a fawner either yahnai.  Check the archives, I rarely get involved in the daily stroke fest over the latest strip.  So when I say a strip is good you know it's coming from a special place.  Peace out beotch.

A Bass + Guiness = a Black and Tan, right? Weird.

I think Beef should net this bad boy so Ray can grill some Thick Bass Steaks.

Aaack!  no!  not after we already got to know it!

Anyway, I, too, was slightly disappointed there wasn't more roomba action, but I admit the joke could've been dragged into the ground which wouldn't have been so great either.

Do indeed love this strip :D

Wow, I didn't think of the Bass and Guiness action.  

Of course, I shouldn't be surprised that Onstad gets his inspiration from High Spirits.

I'm sorry, the entire issue of talking animals having perfectly civil conversations with other talking animals and then eating them is just sort of creepy. I think it's residual backwash from "Kevin & Kell," bless its rotten, blackened little heart.

Anyway! I am returning to a world paradigm in which Barry Bass is not eaten by Roast Beef.  This is all.
