Hey, can someone find for me the comic where Teodor has a dream in which he takes his mouth off and his name in the dream isn't Teodor? I can't remember anything useful to search for.

Yes, exactly that one!
Thanks. That mouth is horrifying.

Are the anniversary mugs and new cookbooks on the same shipping schedule?

You mean Lyle. Cornelius has only ever tried to protect his trumpet from such a disgrace.

He just doesn't want to be outdone. The Bear is getting a little old.

Someone linked the Little Nephew suicide arc earlier in the thread and "spaghetti's dad" is probably my favorite thing from Achewood.

Christ, that was terrible.
Come on Onstad, just write a strip about some cats watching Braveheart.

I agree with the guy; I don't know why you dudes were so quick to leap on his dissenting opinion with Hyperbolic Strawmen (come see us play Tuesdays at the Trash Veranda). I thought Achewood prided itself on not being dated— check out this strip's equivalent from last year. It's ostensibly topical, except not at all, and as a result doesn't come off as contrived. Meanwhile, this one is all over the place, making references to bad Food Network shows, Justin Bieber, Glenn Beck, Somali pirates, and the Zune, then playing free word association with them, and writing that off as comedy.

Seriously, what is this, CAD South Park? Or have I lost my soul, and is the strip no longer for me?

This is basically my deal. This is MAD-magazine-level parody with Onstad's trademark goofy writing style. I hate Glenn Beck as much as the next person but using nautical terms and weirdo accouterments in a joke about stabbing his balls doesn't make it funny. I don't want jokes about Glenn Beck or Justin Bieber or Oscar Grant, I want stuffed animals so distracted by their life that they put too much jalapenos on Ray's nachos.
Achewood trades on character and this ain't that. It's not like this is too subtle or smart for me to get. "Go back to CAD" isn't really an appropriate response.
