Is that a reference to one of my favorite Achewood strips in today's Dr. McNinja?

Another reference to aglets. That's the second time in five years. How many times can you go to the well, Onstad? Panic! at the Fist Jab posted:Personally, I think it's great that the characters have a persistence. They have depth, character, personalities we can relate to. But even when their lives are changed drastically (Bensington Butters and Ray finding Lonis Edison), those things don't seem to persist. Ray comes back not much more changed for the experience, and we never hear from Butters again. On the flip side, Chris should feel free to alter the state of the characters and have it *not* be a big deal. Perhaps Lyle manages to scrape enough cash together to move out, but nothing drastic happens because of it. I think this is one criticism I can get behind. It made a special kind of sense when Pat emerged from his coming out more or less unchanged, but I was surprised at how little Ray was changed after the GOF. I didn't expect him to turn into his father, but he still seems like A Guy You Don't Want to Have Lost a Fight To. And he's still desperately seeking Rodney's approval, even after winning the fight and burning the acres to the ground. I guess one possible answer is that this is just something about the character: even though he's super-successful and popular, for some reason he's also fairly insecure. Look at the progression of his love life: he got all kinds of rear end in high school, did a chick while smoking a cigarette, and once got his bone on six times in one weekend. Yet these days he's resorting to hiring hookers, calling sex lines, and posing as a Saudi prince to hook up with his ex-girlfriend. Meanwhile, his depressed friend and octogenarian friend are both in relationships with hot women. I'd love to see more discussion of how Ray lost his mojo after being the coolest kid in school.

 Man, I would totally make this my avatar if I hadn't already named myself after another Achewood character.

Jago posted:OOHHHH KABOOM!!! It feels like output on the fanflow has been reduced a bit. I actually let my subscription lapse at the end of last month when I realized there'd only been one substantial update in the last two weeks. I'm sure I'll renew as soon as there's a new Nice Pete story or other long-form update. What I'd really like to see on the fanflow is for the blogs to start updating again on a semi-regular basis.

Every time I read one of these long-form fanflows I find myself wishing there would be an Achewood TV series, even though I'm not sure if it would translate.

Dove from Above posted:I suspect this is one of those neighbourhoods that Beef blogged about walking through late at night to keep himself grounded. Seriously, where the hell did Nice Pete drive? Isn't Achewood in Southern California? Are there really neighborhoods there where people talk like that?

If they're willing to commit an hour or two to reading a few months' worth of Achewood, I would start them on Ray getting the piano and the subsequent road trip. Lot of funny strips, and it sets the direction going forward by really developing the Ray and Beef relationship. And the months following that arc also have a lot of great stuff, like the Oregon Trail emulator, the introduction of Molly and Nice Pete, and gently caress Algebra.

If this is the first Achewood strip you've ever read, you're going to have some questions.

ManiacClown posted:Also notice the puckered anus of a mouth. I like this opportunity to see into the mind of Nice Pete, complete with first-person perspective. Were I a lesser man, I may not be able to sleep. Wow, I didn't even realize that was an anus until you said it. So is that... Blood? poo poo? The mind reels.

OBAMA ACKBAR posted:For some reason it gets under my skin a lot worse than most horror movies I've seen. Because you care about the character in peril? Also, whatever happened to "he got southern ways and would never Take you after that high gesture"? Figured that would apply to T as well as Ray.

reach42 posted:well he kinda did, he didn't follow Ray's suggestion of killing him after the dicer stabbed him. Exactly, I figured Beef, Ray and T all achieved "don't get killed by pete" status with their act of mercy.
