The human animal is a beautiful and terrible creature, capable of limitless compassion and unfathomable cruelty.

Is it me or has Teodor become completely insufferable? The other banter is classic Achewood, especially that first toilet bit, but the Ann Coulter line drags on too long and comes off just pretentious and nothing else.

Just like Teodor!

It's also kind of weird, like, out of all the rear end in a top hat right wing pundits Ann Coulter at least looks like she showers.

I laughed my rear end off at that strip, it was just a nice one-off palate cleanser.

After a meeting yesterday in a 10x10 room in which one of the admin staff ripped a truly raunchy amount of rear end three times and refused to acknowledge it, this strip was NECESSARY for me.

Really, Ray's dialogue is the only one that hasn't become wordy as hell, too bad he's only appeared like 3 or 4 times. Though I guess it would be a whole new level of pretentious to egghead up Ray's dialogue, of all characters.

On one hand, Teodor is spectacularly unfunny in the fourth panel, but he delivers the best phrase of the comic in the last.

Also, is the kid Little Nephew is talking to someone we've seen before?

I like that Onstad has a character he can pour his more kludgy lines into. T is like an air filter. He catches all the poo poo that's too big to fly through, leaving clean short lines for the rest of the characters.

Maybe you'd find other talking animal comics more your speed. I hear there's one about a cat who likes lasagna and doesn't cotton much to Mondays.

I agree, Garfield is genuinely funnier than the last bunch of Achewood strips.

I just noticed that Ray isn't wearing pants.

Not that he does normally, but normally he isn't wearing a shirt either, and somehow that just makes sense.

One of the issues with such a dense block of nonsense is that one's eyes glaze over and misses the "and tuck the precipitate under your eyelids" part.

Onstad needs an editor, really. There's gold buried in them there hills, but the key word is "buried".

It'd probably help keep him on schedule, since he'd have someone to tell him what works and what doesn't instead of having to wrestle with it himself. Not to mention having to actually answer to someone.

Does anyone have a link to the strip where Beef gets something in the mail, maybe a SOSAD lamp, and the instructions are in engrish? I remember it has one line that about a mouse "dancing" in a pot of boiling water.

I was going to say just use the search bar, but I ran a bunch of poo poo for that comic trying to find it and it never came up. I tried Snicker Stick, group setting, holistic solution, I hate you, saucer of hot water... pretty much the whole thing. It's not indexed. Even google failed. I remember it was 2011 or so, though.
