I'm not sure how I never thought there was probably an achewood thread here. This comic is, as a certain podcast has reminded me, brain tape since young times.

Teodor does make a living off of Ray but he’s too proud to just ask for cash, instead he designs boutique baseball cards for six hundo

Except he keeps leaving a hundred and fifty dollars in a package of lightbulbs in the linen closet.

Here is that amount, though.

Until my most recent reading of the comic where I actually bothered reading the blogs(since its so much easier to do so when they're bundled with the comics in order in a PDF rather than having to jump between a dozen different sites) my impression of Tina was that she was relatively normal and that the bad actor in her and Ray's relationship was pretty much always Ray up until her final arc in the comic suddenly did a complete 180 and made her out to be a terrible person which felt like an odd thing to do when she was one of only 3 notable recurring female characters in the comic at that point(along with Molly and Ray's mom), and it's only in this most recent run where I'm going through the blogs as well that I suddenly find out that actually Tina was a gigantic weirdo equally responsible for the problems in her and Ray's on-again off-again relationship this whole time it just literally never showed up in the comics at all until that last arc with her, usually the blogs come off as more of a fun bonus than anything truly essential to understand the comic but with Tina it's actually very essential to read the blogs to properly understand her as a character

oh poo poo where is this pdf. I've been in a "reread and do a deep dive" mode on a bunch of poo poo recently, especially with achewood because of Brain Tape devoting 40 minutes to each solitary strip.

And yeah, there's a lot to say about Achewood's handling of women in general, which is a story that'd be hard to tell without a deep analysis of Online in the 2000s and how it interacted with gender (badly, is the answer to that). But also Ray made an entire book of ways to hide that you noticed your Lady doing a : ( and that's very funny

Ray would be the one guy who made money off crypto, cos he met SBF and realised he should get out of all this nerd poo poo, because he pays attention

Ray spent a day learning about crypto, bought a bunch of one shitcoin, it immediately pumped to 100x what he paid, he sold it all the next day, and then spent the rest of the day forgetting all of the stuff he had learned.

Pat gets super into an Ethical CryptoCoin (that actually pollutes even more than regular Crypto), Ray starts up a patently ridiculous alternate just to troll him and makes several billion. It also turns out to be a surprisingly effective carbon sink and he is hailed as an environmental hero worldwide.

I stupidly bought an achewood tshirt in a unisex S, when I'm really more of a M-L. It's this one: https://achewood-holiday-pop-up.myshopify.com/collections/shirts/products/achewood-t-shirt-black-unisex

Do you wear size S t-shirts? Do you want that one? Do you live in the continental US? I'll send it to you because otherwise I'd have to donate it and that's effort

What is the best ingredient to put in a burrito? —Leon Sumbitches
Dear L.,
This is kind of a loaded question, dogg. What kind of burrito you want to make? If you want to make a real spicy-assed Mexican-style tortilla, you grill up a couple chicken breasts with some fresh basil and toss in some Daiya Mozzarella before sprinklin’ in tomato sauce and sprinklin’ on non-dairy Parmesan (I like Tofutti). On the other hand, if you want a straight-up tourist-style burrito with a ton of fake Mexican ingredients and way too much guacamole, then you buy a couple Mission-style burrito kits at Costco, microwave those drat things up, and show all the real Mexicans what a terrible use of the burrito they have invented.

I like that the people at the store aren't stoned. I always felt a little silly shopping in old fashioned headshops, buying poo poo from some dude in a six-pound beanie who is hiding between the black light posters and the pussy incense.

One of my close friends works at a dispensary and apparently yeah, they are high all the time, they're just cool about it.

It rules because my friend gets way too many samples so every time I go over I leave with like $100 worth of edibles/vape carts.

Also admittedly I haven't read any of the new text bits but I've noticed in the comic proper we haven't really gotten any mention of Molly and that does mildly concern me

She's mentioned in the most recent side-post thing, where beef goes to the bodega.
