Wow, came in expecting dozens of post about Juche and how it will lead North Korea to triumph over vicious imperialist aggressors, not some ramblings about... something. Juche realism lead Todd to glorious victory by getting his slant on with Kim Jong Il!

Portland has been kinda grim lately but today actually had blue sky. There's a new strip today. Coincidence? (They need to surround the city with a bank of full-spectrum lights for our own well-being.) I suspect there is a market for tomatoes grown in hated-at dirt. They might make the best curry.

NEW STRIP Nightlights are simultaneously reassuring and disquieting. One of Philippe's recipes in the first cookbook mentions appetizers his mom and dad made in their house in Bourdeaux before the fire. And now his mom lives in Iowa. That little tidbit makes the sadness of the pork chop in the last strip that much worse. It is hard to top an Iowan pork tenderloin sandwich.

You'll come for the tale of cooking animal testes, but you'll stay for the fantastic preview of Nice Pete's fried chicken recipe from Cookbook II! Next week's Mercury letter column will probably be filled with angry letters from sanctimonious hipsters, alas. Maybe a follow-up column about PBR would placate them?

Flying-PCP posted:Is this the first time Pete has seriously hurt someone "on camera"? I can't remember another time. All I can think of are self-inflicted injuries. There was that time he cut himself in front of Little Nephew. Oh, and then the USB murder machine stabbed him in the eye... His description of the fried chicken recipe made me fear for Alton Brown, as I seem to recall his fried chicken involved elaborate preparation including either buttermilk, brining, or both.

Needless to say I did not make eye contact with that gentleman. The weather here in Portland has been crap as of late, I blame it for the rough chuckles. (Seriously, the heat came on this morning. Happy Fourth of July.)

I had an Achewood dream the other day where a new comic was announced, but to view it, you had to visit a particular Portland bus stop, and Onstad would lead a group from there to his house. (It was only going to display on his home monitor.) Then we had to climb a giant moss-covered ramp to get to the third floor, as that was the only way to get into the house. Sadly, I think I woke up before I saw what the strip was. In non-dream news, I received a memo from Amazon that Volume 3's delivery date moved up to 12/8/10 instead of 12/30. This is the first moving-forward notice I can remember, and next week is jut around the corner.

This day has lasted for ages. Is it the 8th yet? Is it the 8th yet? If Vol 3 has moved up, are there similar plans for Cookbook 2?

"I have a Prince Albert" joins "what do you get when you multiply six by nine" in the pantheon of Scrabble messages as narrative. Wait, those are the only two times I can think of Scrabble letters being used as a plot point. But still...

Grandpa Pap posted:This pretty much. Whenever something weird or seedy or downright unseemly happens in the US, by and large most people's first intuition is that it happened in Florida. And they're not often wrong. For a recent example: a woman in Florida just burned down a 3500-year-old tree by smoking meth inside it.

My Dude and Catastrophe hoodie is still holding together, though I don't know if I will ever be able to replace it now. Thankfully, my pint glass is still intact. Onstad writes restaurant reviews for the local weekly -- there was some drama a few weeks ago about one of them but it may have been an old guy yelling at a cloud.

Did we ever figure out who ate Ray's nachos? I forget. I really figured that Onstad would show up in the Hamlet CYOA book that was on Kickstarter. It was a cavalcade of online comics and his absence hurts a bit.

Fister Roboto posted:If it weren't for the possibility of HR complaints, I would always have this strip printed out and framed and hung in every office I occupy for now and forever. It is my motivational poster. Had a discussion with friends about Comic Sans the other day and I brought up the strip about the son of a bitch who invented it. I've often thought about bringing in my framed copy of that into work, but have similar qualms that somebody would be sad. (Probably somebody who uses it in their e-mail.)
