do YOU love achewood, too?

Dude's had it figured out since before everyone else was wearing short pants.

I finished reading the whole thing a few weeks ago, after a month. The idea of waiting a week for a new cartoon now is almost unthinkable.

i didn't understand what a 'nagel serape' was, is this because i am english y/n

i actually just searched this thread to revive it and mention cornelius on facebook

Cardamom L. B. Hayfield belongs to the group I HAVE DIED

Did Ray's blanket-sheep-time-travelling-throw remind anybody else of http://www.littleblackstar.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/ddrio.jpg

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Nagel

boy, do I feel dumb.

i'd never heard of him before. but the clues were there, man, the clues were there.

actually, remy, you should feel not dumb. you didn't know nagel and still made the connection!

favorite quote from the whole time traveling welsh story is ray reading the paper:

"Daaamn, Ron Howard's brother. You yo' own kind of ugly."

I made that Rio connection too, without knowing who Nagel was. Whoops.

Catching up on all the ones I've missed out on, gotta say the brief sheik-voice-donut arc brought heavy, heavy lolz

Was pronunciation of "achewood" ever covered here?

Also note the frame in the middle here, which I just came by and wouldn't possibly have rembered otherwise.

Ache
wood

?

Can't see how else one would go about pronouncing it...

ACHHHHuh WOOOOOOduh of course

DAS ACH-eh-VOOD

pretty special post by ray about MJ linked up there today

Try wakin’ up tomorrow and writin’ We Are The World. See what you come up with. See if you can get Stevie and Tina to come down to the studio, along with Bruce and Billy and twenty other people who cost a whole hell of a lotta money at the time.

I was saying ay-shh wood for a long time.

that Ray Smuckles blog post is genius xp

he didn't write thriller or pyt tho :/

Michael was our music. The next time you’re out alone in your car, and Smooth Criminal comes on, it’s gonna mean somethin’ different to you. You’re not gonna change it this time. You’re gonna hear it and think to yourself, “I missed knowin’ his music in the moment.” I don’t blame The Cure. That was your call. The Cure is just out there, like car horns or people who make noise when they cry. The Cure is a choice. When we hear Michael, it is not a choice to feel the beat. It is not a choice to cock your head and straighten all the fingers on your right hand.

There is a reason Ray is the man. This paragraph does a lot to explain this reason.

If you insist.

he didn't write thriller or pyt tho :/

perhaps cornelius could have fact-checked

this williams-sonoma erotica storyline is some bullshit

Give it time. It may pan out to something funny.

We do need more Molly and Beef stuff. They bring the heavy lolz.

it's bad. i miss beef, molly, and teodor.

ANd Phillippe. His phone call to Ray in the current strip was the only lol.

"it is essential that we both wear identical elephant costumes" - good line. But I didn't even understand the July 18 strip.

I am not buying into this erotica subplot.

Y'know, I realized that When your not reading half a years worth of strips in 2 days, reading these storylines as they go along is pretty tedious, or is this one just bad (which i think it probably is).

he doesn't pre-plan his storylines and the results are occasionally magical and often disappointing.

i'm just confused as to why you would spend years developing these v. complete characters and then basically not challenge them in any way.

^^^ single posts that sum up ILX

okay wtf is going on here

german shepherd is easily one of the most acceptable dogs

but yeah i'm lost too

Lady Bourré gets a kickback for every customer she delivers.

Cartilage Head is being earmarked as Achewood's version of That Coupon Chicken From Family Guy That Had A Long Fight With Peter That Was Funny The First Time.

why is he going to fall onto the biplane!? why??

Also isn't Cartilage Head just a performance artist? Not some incarnation of death

Skymall.

maybe we'll get to see troubleman and no no again

The phone convo between Lyle and Ray where Lyle wouldn't just hold on made me LOL, though.

this is getting really weird

the weirder the better

yeah, I'm really enjoying it despite not really understanding anything

Is it bad if I get what's going on? I'm kind of thinking they'll resolve the Teodor writing battle thing off-panel later.

been trying to get with this storyline but on some level i've already checked out, the returns on reading this have been diminishing for some time now sadly

I have high hopes for the resolution on this one. Forreal.
