Browsing through some of the later story arcs, the Little Nephew in Wales one is pretty good -- I didn't notice any other Little Nephew ones in the list, is that it? I know he was never a major character but I seem to remember more.

I have spent many a day of work with the lyrics of Mister Band stuck in my head. Looks like I'll be doing that tomorrow.

I just imagine them sung to the tune of a good song, like a man would play at a concert.

There is a weird politesse about Nice Pete when he's not in murder mode. He has Southern ways.

e: Regarding the discussion of Cornelius's voice from when the strip most recently reappeared, I think this and the following are a great example of his natural speech as well as his ability to relate to a dude who knows what kind of tires he has.

I've reread most of the series since the revival, and I can't find it by searching either: wasn't there a strip where we see Cornelius name his pub "The Dude and Catastrophe"?

So in terms of linking things we like I was thinking we could also link such as blog entries like Ray on truth serum

This is the pinnacle of the young Ray and Beef strips, and the perfect encapsulation of male childhood friendship. One dude just wants to kiss girls on the titties, and the other dude will scream this fact at his own mother just to embarrass his friend.

I'm willing to give him some time to re-find the voices and the verve.
I guess I didn't mean to come off just making GBS threads on it but I mean, I don't know why this is the well he keeps going back to so often post-hiatus, these long-winded insult comic with a library card scenes between the cats and Teodor, everybody's voices tending toward the same "If I wanted to X I'd do Y with a Z" constructions. There's plenty of classic Achewood forms I wouldn't knock him for repeating -- a short, lighthearted "Phillippe misunderstands something" or "Ray starts a new business" arc would be great.

That is good Achewood. Between that and the Philippe blog entry I'd say Lyle is one of the characters whose voice is coming out the best right now. (Both the blog posts were great; should've mentioned that when I was criticizing the comic before last.)

For some reason I thought KISS was the artist Beef would go to the bathroom on but that was Lyle Lovett. KISS is the artist Tood has a tattoo of going to the grocery store and comparing their you-know-whats to the yams.

It was, and if it couldn't end with a spectacular, fitting story like Phillipe Goes Home at least we got an explanation. There's no contemporary work of pop fiction I think about more than Achewood, that's more than he owes anyone other than that other thing.
