I thought the point of that was that he was willing to do something he ordinarily wouldn't even consider doing just to get Ray to loving shut up already.

Seldom Posts posted:Circus Penis sends him to a gay porno shoot. Huggins tries to do maximum cuddles with him and he 'catches on slow.' He has a dream where people assume he's gay because he's a designer. This was a good arc. I liked the alt text implication that whenever Circus Penis or anyone else in the business sends a straight guy into a gay shoot to gently caress with his head, poor Huggins somehow always ends up being the actor present. (Rod does not have a good job.)

Cobweb Heart posted:(Rod does not have a good job.) Well, he did buy a small plane, so there's that. I do love that strip for "Rod ain't a Cuisinart!", too. As far as Teodor is bi, goes, there's Honest Man Comix, wherein his radio station is automatically liked by Rod and Chucklebot, and the sideburns generator, both of which indicate that technology knows Teodor likes dudes. The end of the High School arc was just finally getting it done.

I'm not expecting him to disappear for a year again dude. I'm just saying that 12 days, 9 days and 29 days doesn't really establish any kind of pattern to be holding. The man posted a comic, followed by 3 more in about 2 months is all we can really say.

New blog entry, new interview with Vice. This may be because I have some minor untreated mental illness, but somehow I feel like bitching about him in a good-natured manner was a magic spell that summoned new content. Anyways, the blog is a lot of fun and he seems a lot more carefree in the Vice interview, which was nice to see. Makes me less afraid he could flake out if one too many assholes write him love letters in the only fashion their kind know. Maybe the Comics Alliance interviewer breathed too much through their mouth and had an oversized Neon Genesis Evangelion T-shirt tucked into cargo shorts, or something similar, and it was just too much for Chris to process. EDIT:  http://orezscu.blogspot.com/2012/01/christmas-party-pt-1.html http://www.vice.com/read/achewood-is-back-2 I couldn't find a special comic book siren.

Five bucks says this rear end grabbing lady has an absolutely miserable personality, but he starts a relationship anyways. Teodor, if I can compare him to similar people I've known in my life, is the sort of guy who is supposed to end up marrying, then eventually divorcing, a legitimately crazy woman. He's the guy who was a lot of fun to hang out with, but now he's with Darcy and the last time me and the rest of the guys were over she threw a chair against the wall so hard it fell apart when I said I didn't like the New Bomb Turks. Dude just sat there looking miserable and sort of mouthed "I'm sorry" before she demanded to talk to him in the utility room while we let ourselves out.

Like Teodor, all I knew about Frank Lloyd Wright was that he was an rear end in a top hat, but it was alright, because he made houses that people got F’s about in college. Poetry. Fantasizing about getting a woman because she noticed he considered but decided not to use limes in a drink is pretty much quintessential Teodor.

I have a friend I am trying to get interested in Achewood and I'm having a hard time explaining exactly what's so great about it. He just said this to me:worst friend posted:I can enjoy surrealism, I mean I enjoy the odd Cyanide & Happiness This is the most depressing thing I have ever read.  How can I explain that it is not terrible?

I'm trying to figure out what the 'emotional center' in xkcd is and short of the author forgetting he's doing something for math nerds and instead crying about a girl that dumped him years ago sometimes ends up being a comic, I got nothing. You could always hand him the Great Outdoor Fight book and make him read it, cover to cover.

I would not start him on anything earlier than the Party. He can go back and read those strips once he's hooked. It's a hard thing getting someone to read something because there's an ambiguous amount of time required to do so, unlike, say a movie or tv show that has a defined runtime. I mean, I've been trying to get a friend to read Gunnerkrigg for 3 months now.

Show him the xkcd Achewood parody http://xkcd.com/141/. If he guffaws and says "exACTly!" while slapping a knee, then he's too far gone. Buy him a t-shirt with a built in wifi detector from Think Geek as a parting gift and plan an escape vector from that friendship, asap.

Two of my friends don't like Achewood because: "The art sucks!" "The art is fine but the language is too awkward to read"  Farmer Crack-rear end posted:XKCD's emotional center has and always will be "smug rear end in a top hat" I got weird vibes from the way he puts women in his comic too. It's really subtle, but as I recall it was sort of an akward Joss Whedon "here are some empowered girls, but they just happen behave exactly the way I'd want them to" thing. Maybe he got better about that, but I'm not going to read more XKCD to find out.
