[jough]

Onstad has learned how to kill a joke.

Excellent.

[V-Adore]

Daaamn, jough.

This is getting eerie. The moment I think "hey, no thread on the strip" -- whoops. Synchronicity.

[CortJstr]

So is Ray shaking his fist in an ominous manner while the shoe talks on his own or is he being controlled? Yet more hints of the Venom theory?

[jay-ell]

I love it.  Love it, I say!  

If Leopold is a communist, I will be vindicated.

[St_Zartan]

Yeah, that shoe is Bad News. He's all holding his gut in that last panel like what in the dogg, that was not to our mutual benefit. Plus you know damn well Ray's all about the Morning After Pills and such, which certainly doesn't jibe with the politics of the Tassled Loafer to the &c.

The Sharper Image line (coupled with the "high-end garbage" remark) was awesome. As a child I was convinced beyond any hope of dissuasion that I was going to save every last bit of cash that crossed my hands until I had enough to order that radical crossbow out of the Sharper Image catalog. What the hell was I doing with a Sharper Image catalog at that age?

for fuck's sake.
if you don't ever like achewood, why the fuck do you run an achewood messageboard?

i mean i don't want to be combative, but you do seem to take a while thinking of a withering put-down for every 2 out of 3 strips. jeez, it's a free comic strip and overall it's probably the best one out there. what's the problem?

correct me if i'm wrong/reading selectively/drunk.

You are not the only one who wonders this, but I have learned to simply let cranky dogs lie these days.

Ahem.  

We run this board because Onstad bailed on it.  While Jough and I may disagree on which strips we like and dislike, we certainly agree on this: Achewood is the kind of strip that is better if you have someone to discuss it with.  Onstad used to provide a space for this, and when he quit, he really pulled the rug from under a lot of us.  

That's why we're here, in case anyone has forgotten.  And as long as Jough and I run this board, we're going to allow some people to bitch and complain and others to syncophantically fawn over everything Onstad does.  It's just the way things are around here.

[AugustWest]

Stop it, Jough!  Your opinion is hurting me.

Actually, I think you're pretty much full of shit on this one.  While I've been disappointed with the Lazarus storyline thus far, today's installment has made it worthwhile.  And the Leopold's story has the potential to be awesomeriffic.

And the Sharper Image line -- Wow.  Just Wow.

[CortJstr]

Yeah, that shoe is Bad News. He's all holding his gut in that last panel like what in the dogg, that was not to our mutual benefit.

So I'm assuming Lazarus made Ray shake his fists. Does that mean Leopold made Teodor shank his ball? Or is physical contact required before they can take over physical actions?

Heh heh heh.  You said "Shank his ball."  Heh heh heh.

ok, i'm puzzled as to why you just told me a load of stuff that i already knew and is perfectly obvious. jesus.

anyway, you may remember i was asking why you would take the time to run a messageboard about a comic you don't actually like. which i infer from all your cussing of most comics. y'know, as i said, correct me if i'm not actually reading you right.

From The Harriet Carter Catalog:

"Old Fart Slippers break wind as you walk. They are a gas. Present these sound off slippers to any "fart"unate old timer and get ready for explosive laughter. One size fits all."

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have discovered Onstad's day job -- catalog copywriter.

palm trees, you're a nice guy, but seriously - calm the hell down, dude.

This message board has turned into something that's about a whole lot more than the comic itself, anyway. It's more of a place for strangers who like Achewood to meet and shoot the shit about anything; just cos the board's under the (unofficial) Achewood aegis doesn't mean we have to fall all over ourselves calling every strip Aztec Gold. I'm more from the "if you can't say something nice" department, but hell, strong opinions provoke conversation, you dig?

This is all being done for Fun.
