A friend and I got drunk and designed/purchased matching T-shirts referencing a panel of a Half Life 2 fancomic. So I've already been down this road before.

Said friend isn't one anymore due to my being a jerk, and having bonded quite a bit over Achewood this thread is sometimes painful.

Can someone explain the meaning of the car having two badges? I assume it indicates poverty/despair/misery somehow but I can't figure it out.

Maybe he's just using 'wrapping up an old thing' as a way to motorvate himself into peeling out.

Since we're all askin' questions, I gotta question: what the gently caress happened to Vlad's hair during The Badass Games? http://www.achewood.com/index.php/index.php?date=06082006

Has he been rockin' a piece this whole time, and just thought he'd look harder for the BaGs without it, or what?

I never noticed that Vlad works at a pawn shop before, but it makes perfect sense.

I don't buy the idea of "wrapping up unfinished plot threads" because this is not in keeping with the kind of absurdist existentialism that underlies the comic itself. Putting things in neat boxes is a crutch, in reality, all of our plotlines go unfinished.

So I reckon he's just poring back over older comics from before the golden age and looking for a foundation to get back to his roots.

That or he's betrayed the very basis of absurdism that has made this comic great. That too.
