I was mildly surprised no one pointed out how ugly that woman is. It's because that woman is me.

I figured as much, was that to avoid potential problems when it comes to publishing later on or just because you thought it was funnier?

Come on down to Washington DC and check out Ray's Hell Burger. Dee-licious.

They also opened a place called Ray's The Steaks. Normally, I don't patronize terrible puns like that, but drat did I have some good steak there.

I love Phillipe's assessment of the items in the Sharper Image catalog. Even a 5-year-old can recognize that it's all wholly unnecessary crap.

Yes it's the perfect definition. Loved the new strip.

I don't pay a cent for Achewood and every time I get a free comic (on average one every 4-5 days) I laugh my rear end off and get to shake my head in wonder at how unfairly clever Onstad is. While I'd love to get more regular updates, I don't see any problem with people who pay (a small amount of) money getting more Achewood goodness than I do.

Basically, while I'd really love getting more for free like anyone else in the world, I don't feel I have any right to complain about "only" getting a certain amount of free content each week.

What with all those memory shout-outs, I hope this doesn't mean Philippe is a replicant.

The last 9 years of strip was a story Onstad told so he could tell us this story, a story of an early 21st Century company advancing robot evolution into the NEXUS phase....

Philippe and Ultra Peanut ran around naked because that's what 5 year old kids do. They haul their clothes off and run around giggling without having any loving clue why, and then an adult chases after them trying to get them dressed again which makes them run faster and laugh harder.

God I remember as a kid waking up sometimes and not knowing where I was and having no memory of how I got there and it's loving terrifying until your memory catches up and you realize you're spending the night at a friend's or you're visiting relatives somewhere.

I remember when we were all following along at the time and nobody had any clue what was going to happen next (and boy looking back there were some retarded theories) and the panicked rush to see if the strip had updated every time a new post was made in the thread. Good time, good times.

I'm glad I wasn't reading when the Secret Ice Cream Shoppe storyline was going on though, because I don't think my heart could have taken it.

My favorite thing about the Pat/Nice Pete relationship was that despite Pat being quite correctly intimidated and freaked by Pete at first, within a few weeks his natural "Pat"ness had reasserted itself and he was acting like a total douche towards Pete and arguing with him and insulting him.
