Ugly In The Morning posted:I never noticed that Vlad works at a pawn shop before, but it makes perfect sense. I think that's actually his apartment, mainly because of the "NOTARY" sign right above the pawn shop symbol. Vlad seems like the kind of guy that would run a bunch of different business endeavors out of his home.

Ugh, this seems like another boring/depressing arc. All the good arcs were about dumb stuff like Cards for Men or Ray going to hell and didn't have a real plot or walls of verbose, unfunny text like this one does. That verbosity only works with Mr. Bear, and even then he shouldn't overdo it.

Onstad writes some of the best dialogue I've ever read but conversely his prose that these penny/teodor strips hint at drives me mad.

All of it reads like he went over the lines and thought about funnier synonyms and idioms for what was originally "you're probably wondering why I fart so much right?". It doesn't work. Just let Lie Bot tell Philippe about a child being crushed by the deorbiting toilet from the International Space Station again, it's way more touching.

Gotta say I dislike the wall of text strips too. Achewood is at its best when it's just being the smartest gag strip ever. I find the really long, extended storylines kinda agonizing. Need more strips about the size of Ray's dick.

It's not "why I fart so much," it's why he smells like a fart. Because Roast Beef made him rub a filthy odor rag all over himself to fit in with the Goodwill pickers.

Did you even read the comic? We don't have a massive room filled with bins of random goods for people to pick through. Here is a surprise for you: Things are not the same in all locales!

All Goodwills are massive rooms filled with random goods. I think you'll be disappointed if you think California's aren't exactly as sleazy as the comic portrays, unless you're OK with the jeans having a hole in the crotch because you've got one too.

Want me to bring you some pictures of my local goodwill? It is NOTHING like that. All the items are already sorted through, priced and tagged. There are no massive rooms filled with bins of unsorted goods. Are you being obtuse on purpose?

This is the dumbest argument. There are a variety of Goodwill-esque stores of varying amounts of bins, some under the same name differing between locations. With any store with a large amount of crap items, there's bound to be something worth cash in tucked in with the trash. Can we not get sassy about the relative quality of our local thrift shops?

Goodwills are not even the same in the same locales. the one down the street from me is basically a second hand store. Everything is priced, clothes are hanging or folded, and the people working there care about as much as any other retail job. One of my coworkers has a full second income where his wife sits around on ebay all day selling the junk they get at Goodwill. The one he usually goes to has giant bins of clothes that they sell by the pound. Load up a hamper, put it on the scale, get the hell out. They grossed 85k this year. I don't know how much they spent but that is a lot of poo poo on ebay.

Portland has a Goodwill known as the bins where you buy poo poo by the pound and then other more regular Goodwills where it's laid out like a store where everything has a pricetag.

I'm still convinced super-skeezy bin Goodwills are as much a product of Onstad's imagination as the notion that most men hate/can't figure out the underwear flap.

It's downright insane to use the underwear flap, or your fly for that matter, to take a leak. BASELESS BUT PROBABLY TRUE THEORY: All men who do this are actually perverts. Shibawanko fucked around with this message at 07:35 on Jan 7, 2014 |
