Oh God I forgot how that strip lead to their aborted attempt to make gay porn. And revealed that Pat actually does drive to another town and rent a room under a fake name in order to masturbate.

The Achewood cast sure does a lot of writing. I know the idea has been put forth before, but actually having the stuff published and sold would pretty much be a license to print money.

I think you overestimate the market. We love this poo poo, but that isn't enough to build a business independent from the comic.

Exhibit A - These were available for a while, and if they'd sold like hotcakes, they'd still be available.

Edit: Though it doesn't look like the assorted set is still available. Which is a shame because I need some more. "Sorry I played it huffy on the phone" and "Sorry I forgot all sorts of things about you" were perfect.

I don't think that he deserves to die at the hands of Nice Pete. I'm not super knowledgeable about Achewood, but it seems that his only real sin was that he and Ray mocked Pete's music when Pete formed a band.

Where does the phrase getting '30' come from? I dig the meaning, just never heard it before.

When I first read the beginning of the North Korean Magical Realism arc where Teodor tells Todd to "go piss up a rope!" I always thought it was something made up on the spot and always found it kind of a weird turn of phrase.

Well, it turns out it is an honest to god real phrase that is common enough to have it's own Wikipedia page (though this is mostly because it's also a Ween song):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piss_Up_a_Rope


Maybe everyone else already knew that, but I sure didn't.

You've seriously never heard that term before? That's about as common as "up poo poo creek". I think I first heard that term when I was in elementary school.

He wanted to make a left turn but at the speed his vehicle was travelling, he could not maintain control and the car rolled over.

Er...no. When I was growing up, "flipped a bitch" was slang for making a U-turn, usually a quick one. (And knowing that was the only reason I could figure out from context that "hang a larry" meant making a left turn.)

In the new Ray's Place announcement it was mentioned:
(Caveat: If he's "all 30'd up" when he answers, we will try to put a "30" before or after his answer, but he may deny whether or not he is "30.")

And then there's a question (maybe only in the premium one) about it.
