The comic where Beef gets a call from Ray in the middle of the night, and Beef's first thought is "Showbiz died" speaks to me very strongly.

There was a phrase Beef used once about Showbiz - something like, "I wish I had more brothers so less of them would be you" or something like that. Does that ring a bell for anyone?

Ahhh, I was searching around Beef's Wedding because I figured the sentiment would've come up around the time he got him arrested on purpose.

Did I hallucinate a comic where Roast Beef is talking about what it would be like to have sex with a young lady, and it ends with him orgasming and saying a combination of "thank you" and "I'm sorry"?

It works out to like two hundo of 2020 money for a half ounce, which is only like ten bucks more than the dispensary near me. Though probably much shittier stuff.

any time i accidentally make an achewood quote to someone that doesn't know the strip, if they give me a concerned look i've found saying "i just love to celebrate the english language" is a succinct enough explanation

the beauty of "You can do whatever you want in life." is that no explanation is necessary

I have had one friend ask me "jesus christ dude do you have an Achewood strip for every occasion", and that made me realize that only Bloom County has stuck in mind more or less in its entirety as hard as Achewood.

It’s one of those things that endures because you’re not doing it to make a reference as much as it has so many turns of phrase that are perfect in so many situations. It’s not like the nerd quoting Monty Python at people as much as how so much Shakespeare became pretty standard English idioms.

For my money one of the more economical achewood punchlines is when Beef's getting all Beef about marketing hot sauce, with like pack-in dvds of third world dudes dynamiting elephants to the soundtrack of the Beatles' "Yesterday" and Ray's just

Oh, quotables that stuck with me?

"This strip relies heavily on the gossipy hot dog chef archetype"

Just changed as needed to whatever other incongruous adjective and job.

Also "Most of these guys think three dollars is a good price for wine."

This one was bugging me all day -- popped into my head and I remembered the alt-text exactly, "THE DEMONS AND ELVES MADE DARK LOVE TO THE WITCHES AND THUS WERE THEIR SCEPTYRES HIDDEN", but couldn't remember the album title, "into the Graemlin's abyss"
