I still love the strip where he is not afraid of the loving police - and the callback to it months or years later that's actually in character.

What was the callback? I remember tequila getting him all not afraid of the po-lice, but not the callback.

Either Beef is out of character, or Showbiz got a haircut.

Which for him I guess would be out of character as well.

Showbiz would have an Alpine tattoo crossed out with a Blaupunkt tattoo under it.

I think it's coincidental. The whole "Philippe. He is Five." thing pretty much started with this strip, if I'm not mistaken.

He's also had a birthday where he turned 5, and a birthday where he turned five.

And I don't feel like looking them up but dammit he's five and that's it.

I like the garage sale. It's a relatable situation involving two of the main characters, it's only one page, and you get a sense of the writing style with the different dialects going on.

The dialects are the best part of Achewood to me. The way each character is defined by not just what they say, but how they say it. It reminds me of Pogo, and that is never a bad thing.

Phillipe and the Brown Couch is good for dialects, because it has Emeril and the denizens of the transfer station.

Hell, it even starts out with Vlad. "Now, we drink! We feast! We spit on the face of death for another day! BAH!"

Kane finds the half-finished diss critique of his wife's opera that his old friend and employee wrote, along with his passed-out drunk old friend. Because of the stubborness of his character and the way he clings to principles even well after he loses any real sense of idealism, he finishes the review "in the spirit it was intended" to prove a point, then coldly fires his friend, and they never speak again. That sequence of events would probably have been hard to make into a 2-panel joke, though.

Thanks, that explained a lot.

Aw, but the Playboy Advisor has been so helpful to our animal friends over the years. Except Roast Beef.

(That small series of Advisor strips has always been one of my favorites.)

It also shows up here so either Ray is a slave to the Advisor or he IS the Advisor and sometimes gives guff about no ice.

And the first cookbook has a recipe for Diamond Juice which is Ketel 1 with zest. Ray loves his Ketel 1.

and I'm using the numeral to piss people off

Remember when Onstad presented a fried chicken recipe as narrated by Nice Pete? This one?

Trip report: It's pretty awesome. Granted, I didn't get the color to the perfect George Lopez level, but there was caramelized skin and juicy flesh and a wonderful smell while it all took place. I paired it with penne pasta with walnut dressing and some down home green beans, and a tall glass of water.

So to anyone who has made the beercan chicken recipe, a question: Would using a smaller bird complicate things?

I just made this today, and I would say use a taller can, anything 20 ounces. I used a 12 ounce can and it barely stayed upright, and I had to stand it back up at one point. As long as the can fits the hole (and the hole can be expanded with a quick knife cut) it's good to go.

It's an easy way to make good chicken.

I came back into this thread just to say that I'm making Onstad's fried chicken recipe and I still make several stuff from the cookbook. And at this point I'm glad I didn't pre-order the second one.

I really like the idea of Ray's friday night parties. I like to think that if I had any amount of money at all that's the kind of thing I would do with it. I guess in real life it would get old pretty fast.

It fits the theme of music mogul. The parties happen on time with an ocean of gin, but the memorable parties involve a tank of perfect blue water.

The perfect summation of what people are talking about with Teodor is his panel in this strip. Everyone else is facing some sort of existential horror, while Teodor will... Never be in a band. (He was almost in Mister Band, on a tangent, but he was probably lucky to avoid that fate.)

Also, "DRACULA DON'T GOT MUCH MONEY THIS WEEK MWWWAH-HA-HA" is a great line.
