Ugly In The Morning posted:I am weirdly excited for the return of a decade old plot in a webcomic about cats and also a teddy bear. Fillerbunny posted:...and another teddy bear and a stuffed otter and tiger. Given that the early strips focused largely on the stuffed animal characters, I've always wondered if the name "Achewood" was a riff on Winnie the Pooh and The Hundred Acre Wood.

I vaguely remember a guest comic of Téodor dreaming flying an airplane with a human Penny. And that was it, AFAIK.

It was Onstad doing a guest comic for John Allison's Scary Go Round, with a character from that series. We've never seen Penny. "A fox fighting an eel, suspended in aspic." Possibly the best joke about British food I've ever read.

Oh, right, Amy. I even follow most of John Allison's work so I have no idea why I forgot who the girl in the airplane was. Anyhow, I assumed that may be where the idea of a human Penny came from. Today is indeed the first time the character showed up in panel.

Never thought I'd see a webcomic reference the Domesday Book. That's hell of esoteric.

Wow, I almost assumed the weekly format meant the days of story arcs were over. I think this is one of the more promising stories of late.

I think the story line starting here: http://achewood.com/index.php?date=12172001 might be why some people thought Penny was a human. Teodor makes a big deal about not being a human man himself, so there is the implication that Penny might be.

Ray has appeared once, in a gently caress You Friday. Still I agree. On another note I'm still trying to translate what Beef is trying to say in panel 3. I mean, I get the general idea of why he has Teodor use that stinky rag but still. grading essays nude fucked around with this message at 20:34 on Dec 6, 2013 |

The "got stripes" line is the only bit that threw me - maybe it alludes to a zebra trying to blend in with horses or something?

The "got stripes" line is the only bit that threw me - maybe it alludes to a zebra trying to blend in with horses or something? I think it's more of a military experience turn of phrase. The stripes being an indicator of rank. Now, "A sherlock picker with a singin' hot amygdalae sensin' name brand gold in the mountains of ring-around-the-collar and shat-up onesies" is a hell of a sentance to parse out. To translate- A talented gatherer with severe emotional instabilities who is good and finding valuables amongst worthless and disgusting items. I actually had to look up what a amygdalae was! Roast Beef has hella brain anatomy chops. Which makes sense- he probably got it doing research about his depression. Just Offscreen fucked around with this message at 23:15 on Dec 6, 2013 |

To be honest on my first read of the new comic I had confused Penny with Polly and wondered what had made her fall so far.

I absolutely love it when Roast Beef gets mad professional when it comes to things like Goodwill and yard sales.

(As a side note, it took me a few rereads to realize what Ray meant when he called him "Turtleneck Tom")

As long as we are delving back in time, was the meaning of the acronym S.O.S.A.D ever given? I know it's the kind of lamp Beef needs but I don't know if the full acronym is ever given. Is it "sort of seasonal?"

Also I suppose this means I really need to dive into the blogs. I've read a few but only read Nice Pete's completely. And maybe Ray's. I'm in 2009 on my second complete pass of the comic though thanks to you bastards linking to an early strip a few weels ago.

Pat's is the best, and I'm not just saying that because I think he'd sue anyone saying otherwise for slander.
