Looking forward to the next 5 comics in which a character shows up, does something wacky to make Teodor look bad, then leaves after the required 4 panels. Witty commentary follows.

He grabbed the potato they were going to make hashbrowns in, put it in a Freekeh-Chia promotional bag and then smashed it under his heel before running off. I'm assuming that Freekeh-Chia is a organic/healthy living/vegan store/restaurant that's doing a "viral" marketing stunt where you get a trivial discount off of your first purchase if you bring in the bagged food.

I think Freekeh Chia is some kind of K2/Spice/"bath salts" poo poo he took because he thought it was organic reduced oregano or something, and it made him freak out. The packaging for that "potpourri" kind of stuff you find in head shops looks exactly like that. Basically he is partying.

I'm just glad Pat was in and out in one comic. I'll just pretend this week's strip was a metaphor for him arriving unannounced, overstaying his welcome, and leaving rudely and abruptly; now Penny and T are bonding over the experience. It's a comic, it doesn't take place in real time. gently caress, was that so hard?

I guess this is a return to form as such for Onstand since he is fairly keen on panel sequences that dont make a lick of loving sense

If you have to pretend a comic is something else for it to make sense...I'm not actually going to finish this thought, or this post, so just pretend like I did.

I dunno what's so hard to get about this particular strip. Pat (probably) sensed someone was about to have a good time, so he burst in on the scene, did a typical "Pat the rear end in a top hat" kind of thing, and then took off, leaving the people behind to ruminate over the rear end in a top hat thing Pat just did. What's not to get about that?

What's not to get about that? Pat tears in looking for the exact thing they need to make food, does something meaningless to it, hollers some hippie words, and immediately leaves, having served his purpose. Then Penny and Teodor both make ridiculously extended burns on U2 (???) and I guess it's hard to get why Onstad thinks this is a good way to write romantic development. Oh, before anyone else looks it up -- diaphoretic apparently means sweat-inducing, and the same word with a macro- prefix is an invention of Chris's.

Well, whatever happened, at least we're all pretty sure that the panels each happened chronologicaly. Right? Also its good to know that true love is finding someone who thinks and speaks exactly like you.

You can write pages on Onstad's writing in regards to representation of women, masculinity, sexism, etc in a legit way. But lately I think people seem to have been reaching a bit in jumping on every new comic. And yeah, Pat's actions are confusing and not well conveyed in this last one.

It has the right date -- it's just that, as they describe it on the linked page, they are doing a re-run of an interview from 2009.

I really like Achewood and all but "an owl jumper-cabled to a car battery" just doesn't make sense. That last panel "punchline" literally does not parse as a phrase. "If wanting to kiss her is unwise, then I'm a tree-frog nestled in Bruce Villanche's Eustachian tube."

Owls are usually wise, but an owl jumper-cabled to a car battery probably isn't (temporarily).

Téodor and owls dying in unusual ways has come up before, but at least the statement unambiguously made sense then. I frankly have no idea if wiring an owl to a car battery would actually kill it, though.

I think the owl jumper-cabled to a car battery is also kind of like a Nine Inch Nails video.

This isn't a story about Teodor having affection for Penny. It's a story about industrial/goth's affection for punk.

MMAgCh posted:Téodor and owls dying in unusual ways has come up before, but at least the statement unambiguously made sense then. Tangent here, but my favorite part of Teodor's pretentious menu - it has an artichoke dish. When Ray pays Teodor 100 grand to run the wedding a few strips later, with a simplified menu, he asks him on the check if he can do an artichoke dish for his mom.
