Talking on a Slack about computers and how all cases are designed by people who want LEDs and fans on everything and I realized what I really wanted was the Shrovis-Bishopthorpe Envaliant III.

As long as it comes with Mr. Teal and not the Publican as an assistant.

Somehow the Shrovis-Bishopthorpe arc is like, the most enduring one for me. I think I've reread it more than any other, it's just wonderful.

A cute Easter egg that US readers might not easily pick up on is that Keith, the Publican, is a photo of Al Murray (a British comedian who was popular in the mid-2000s) in character as his most famous "bit", the Pub Landlord, who's a racist, sexist man's man who routinely makes himself look the fool with his old-fashioned bigotry. So Keith is pretty much just that character exactly, transplanted into Achewood as a cyber assistant for an extremely British computer.

Mr. Squishy: Mar 22, 2010; A country where you can always get richer.

Do you think Onstad googled "pub landlord" and ripped it, not knowing who Al Murrey is.

# ? Jan 31, 2018 11:51

Android Blues: Nov 22, 2008

It's possible, but the characters are so similar that I'd lay even odds on Onstad just watching some British comedy in the mid-2000s and using it as a source of inspiration.

Yeah there is no way that Onstad didn't know exactly who Al Murray was before he wrote that strip

I feel like every time I go through an Achewood binge I inevitably stumble upon a strip referencing That rear end in a top hat and it makes me remember that he was a personality long after I wrote him off as a joke.

Charles Manson was like the living embodiment of all the failings of western civilization, keeping him around with a good reminder of the failures of our collective institutions.

I've wondered this too. I paid for the access back when Achewood was a real website (sigh, 10 years ago?) and I'm plagued by distant memories of good, amazing content that I've never seen anywhere since.

The only strips that I can remember hard details about were a series of canned questions in survey format, that the characters each filled out in different ink and handwriting. One question was like "have you ever given oral sex to a man?"

Ray: "Ray Smuckles does not guzzle semen, pass it on"

Lyle: "Yes, while asleep. (god drat it, Todd)"
