do YOU love achewood, too?

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.

This always seems shit if I follow it 1 strip at a time, but what made me like Achewood in the first place was the cumulative effect of reading the archive about 50 strips at a time. That way the more nothing-y strips just fill in the gaps between lols without being a a dissapointment. Not to say I don't think the quality has declined.

some good moments but no way is this building to a good resolution.

i was down with the Teodor battle-writing catalogue erotica, sadly it does seem to be aborted

I was thinking this was going to be a kind of lazy way of getting Teodor somewhere in life, but now this has taken an unexpected turn or three.

i am actually getting kind of bummed out by this

borrrrrring tbh

dude completely forgot how to write for any of his characters a while ago, its pretty sad

hey just because whiney's gone doesn't mean you all have to fill in the inane bitching gap

i think bummed out is a perfectly legit reaction; it wasn't really meant as a complaint about onstad's skills, of which this last plotline is a pretty good reaction

demonstration, rather

i do kind of think mb he should take a break for a while, do something else. like doonesbury.

just commenting on this ongoing plot yo

holy massive lols at n/a

Dude, Molly is going to be pissed.

i dig the crazy new plots

they're cartoon cats, btw--they're not really dying

isn't this the third time he's "died"? get a new idea.

I keep typing posts about cartoon cats and then deleting them from the post box

how many times did charlie brown miss the football

how many times did calvin play calvinball or fuck with snowmen

they're cartoon cats, btw--they're not really dying

haha yeah. still tho!

One storyline, which ran the week before Halloween in 1989 (Oct 23 to Oct 28), is unique among Garfield strips in that it is not meant to be humorous. It depicts Garfield awakening in a future in which the house is abandoned and he no longer exists. In tone and imagery the storyline for this series of strips is very similar to the animation segment for Valse Triste from Allegro non troppo, which depicts a ghostly cat roaming around the ruins of the home it once inhabited.

There was some speculation on the internet about what these strips meant[57], including the possibility that Garfield was either dead or starving to death in an abandoned house, imagining future strips in a state of denial.

i dig the crazy new plots

The Lil' Nephew taking over 16th century Wales with blunts and toilets was very funny.
