It's a shame, cause the premise is fine before it takes that weird turn.

It and the Ray Has DTs And Nearly Actually Dies arc are probably the two lowest points that Achewood ever hit.

At least Ray getting DTs had a callback to Ray's Flowchart: A baseball cap can hold the average puke.

I love the movement in that strip from the wacky "Roast Beef's brother is a dirtbag but in an absurd way" blotter entry to the grounded, horrible and real last beat. It reminds you that, despite the fact that Showbiz just went to jail for swapping the bananas at the grocery store, this whole thing is grimy and sad as much as it's funny.

looking at the words in just these couple strips: cranchety: looks like a nonce* portmanteau of cranky and crotchety. someone put it on UrbanDictionary, but that means nothing rannygazoo: a Wodehouse word, adapted from one of those weird americanisms from late 19th c (orig meaning "overblown news") muttershanks: doesn't mean anything, but drat if it's not clear anyway. best guess is that it's a riff on widdershins, but that's still a guess  fannel-cocking: banner-valve. doesn't really mean anything, as far as I can tell. hurkity: variation on herky (I assume) scaphism: a really gross method of execution. the victim is pinned in one boat under another and force-fed milk and honey. also lotioned up with it. then they leave him in the sun. thank you for joining me on this Journey of Words *not that kind

Cornelius got briefly flanderized, and went from “wise chill old man who dates stripper, chats with convicts, and gets Star Wars ‘tattooed’ on his chest” to “lol old people are funny so he’s now a confused time traveler from Regency England” I hold out hope that Cornelius eventually gets an arc in the reboot

Ray has brain damage and is combining two things he likes in an inappropriate way, by saying the best thing ever would be to have an orgasm while in the presence of some steaks.

Barely even feels like Ray brain damage to me. He's always been a bit obsessed with the conspicuous part of consumption, he definitely thinks you have a better orgasm if you just paid for an expensive dinner at a restaurant with a terrible but well recognized name.

Cornelius "translating" for Lyle when Pooh died was a step in the right direction for both characters. I'm glad we haven't seen any lines like "pot roast in estrus" since the reboot.

Absolutely in character for him to toss out some made up words that convey his tone oh, I should have phrased it differently. it feels as though they all definitely mean something in the comic, even if they're not "real" cranchity and hurkity I could just work into conversation and everybody would get it

The sad thing about Showbiz is that yes he's a moron and a selfish jackass but it really wouldn't take all that much for him to turn things around and become a relatively productive member of society

Showbiz is definitely an alcoholic but his problems don't really center around his drinking, if anything him going full sober would probably see him just finding a new addiction that would probably be way more obnoxious for everyone around him to deal with But yeah straighten him out*, get him a GED, and take care of his weird debts and you've got someone who could probably reasonably be a manager at a gas station or yogurt shop or something, the sort of quiet mediocrity that often gets unfairly maligned even though it's an essential part of modern society *well at least as straight as a Kazenzakis can get, so still probably a little wobbly and crooked
