One of my friends just posted a picture of a bottle of Blue Label next to a half-eaten slice of pizza and an empty beer glass on her Facebook. It begs for an Achewood reference, but I really don't know what.

Other than "You can do whatever you want in life," of course.

THIS IS totally WONDERFUL!

I'll queue up Braveheart and see if there is a bottle of Blue Label in my hand.

This is one my favorite strips ever. Have I said that in this thread yet? I want friends like that, showing up at my place at 12:54 am, making snacks and getting drunk.

I love the alt-text to that, because for so long I thought I was the only person who thought Tabasco was a sub-par hot sauce. The flavor is just too overwhelming! It can never compliment, it can only subsume!

Almost every random Achewood is like 3 strips max away from one of my favorites. Except for maybe towards the end when Onstad forgot how to write Connie.

e: I finally fuckin' got what was meant by "a low-stakes Verbal Kint". Slow roasted ancho-raisin chutney. Jesus, Ray.

It probably speaks volumes about me that I was always expecting Lyle to dildo the cappuccino itself (as he later does for Nolan) to begin with.

I clicked next strip (as you do), and bam, there's one of MY favorites. I've had so much occasion to say "Dogg I cannot brook the gossamer bloatee" in real life that its' led to some pretty serious self-examination.

This guy knows what's up. Onstad on his days is right up there with P.G. Wodehouse, Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams for writing dialogue that just tickles my brain. There's no other way to describe the wonderful tingling I feel when I read some of their better wordplay.

I think about Ray's "I pay attention" speech a lot while I'm at work. I don't actually say it to anyone because I'm not a total dork but it still makes me feel better about my lovely job.

There's a Facebook Cover Photo size version, but yeah I wouldn't mind a big version to use as desktop wallpaper. I still have Beef meeting Trouble Man and No-No in my regular wallpaper rotation.
