I have discovered that the best sentences in Achewood are the ones containing the word "sentence". http://achewood.com/index.php?date=05182004 http://achewood.com/index.php?date=02032006 http://achewood.com/index.php?date=05222007

The panel of crinkling envelope, Ray leaning in really close to the microphone to announce the winner, it's just so god damned perfect

Eh, Ray's dad, while being undeniably a man with blood on his hands, is pretty much just a violent bully.

If we can accept a fat, classist, sexist, flakey rich guy who looks up to donald trump and has absolutely no moral fibre to speak of as a likeable protagonist and good friend, we can accept his violent bully polygamist of an absent father as an inspiring figure.

There's also the fact that they're cats. And despite acting like humans 99% of the time, every once in a while the cat slips out. Like Ray getting on all fours and hissing during a fight, or when he had his panic over the matchstick in his rear. Cats going around beating the crap out of other cats and making kittens with the rest is pretty normal cat behavior.

Don't get me wrong, I love achewood. It's just fun to take the piss out of it sometimes. Like the strip where Nice Pete shows Teodor a bagful of hands. "Oh hey, sure we'll let a homicidal, yet nicely spoken, psychopath hang around. No biggy. " I also would wonder what his reaction would be if you were to get a somewhat mannish looking woman, and portrayed her as a man. Let'em get all friendly , then be all "SUPRISE!" probably stabbings He probably couldn't even process the concept of trans-people.

No, neither do I. I am just saying that given how Pete views women(as we horrifically saw in the High School arc) that the concept would be somewhat interesting. Although, in the Mr Band story(with the hip-hobbit), I suppose he had no trouble classifying Lyle as a woman for having opinions. Seems to be a hardwired thing. MY POINT IS THAT NICE PETE IS A REALLY hosed UP INDIVIDUAL!
