Ray...  Is the text above the comic gone for everybody else? I just see the tip jar sign. Johnny Fab fucked around with this message at 19:24 on Nov 23, 2011 |

So is this actually going to end with Ray losing his ears? But then again, he wasn't ghost hunting in some mansion he got. I really want to believe Achewood is back too.

This latest strip reads more like that parody of achewood where Ray's holding a sign pointing at his junk than normal achewood.

Had sort of the same feeling, except more that it came from an Achewood generator akin to the gag one from the archives linked a while back. MAIN CONCEPT: The harsh physical and psychological effects of withdrawal SUPPORTING CONCEPT: A badger that could be named Michael PRIMARY CHARACTER: Ray FOIL: Roast Beef CATALYST: An attempt to limit substance dependency

Maybe it's been the extended hiatus, or all the links to classic strips in this thread... but that didn't seem as funny as it used to be.

Beef's died like..three times. He went to heaven twice and hell once after vomiting into an electrical outlet (he called the Butterball hotline to find out if it would kill him).

Was he actually dead that time? That was when achewood started getting to the "I dunno even know what the gently caress anymore" phase.

Yeah there was a lot of good quality Achewood writing in it. I liked Ray's comment about the water pressure.

Oh my God yes! It's as good as any other strip too, filled up with wonderful lines, I hope it's back for even semi-regular updates

I would be thankful for a return of achewood. Some sort of strip buffer so that it updates consistently even when he's got writer's block or whatever would be the best secret project to have been working on while it's been dead.

There were some good lines but overall it seemed more like self-parody than anything. RB: "uh dang man but you got to such as like put scenarios into confidence, otherwise you'll basically be Tia Carrera with a three-week old library card"

Yeah, to me the dialogue felt like it was overworked and too concentrated for one comic. And yeah I hate the way I sound saying stuff like that, like some sort of horribly snooty food critic. *edit* I guess this whole Achewood decline and waiting thing just did my nerves up wretched.

Dodgeball posted:How many characters have died over the course of the strip and are still in the strip? Those have all come from various hilarious circumstances, whereas this feels like it's being played 100% serious drama style. I feel like there's a big difference between Ray having serious complications from alcohol withdrawal and, say, Beef puking on a power outlet or Teodor choking on a bottle cap while watching Breast Attack on gently caress Mountain. That said, there are still great lines in this strip. Especially "boiled nonsense." Here's hoping it keeps up and ends up with a long-term return to form.

Speaking of Todd, I came to the realization the other day that his ideal voice actor would be Greg Proops. He could probably do Blister, too, now that I think of it.

I'm not so sure. Maybe Tim Roth, if you think Mr. Orange in Reservoir Dogs, roughly around the part where he's "Fuckin' dying here", but a little less spit, a little more high pitched.
