do YOU love achewood, too?

You should email him and see if he does requests.

no way! bros don't have super circular heads, wear purple turtlenecks, rock Lennon glasses, and hang out in front of gothic architecture.

But the shoes, the shoes!

bros don't have super circular heads
lololololol

Todd has a point.

Indeed...

if this strip were a religion i'd be a missionary

I am like half-way through reading every single strip in order, having started about a month ago. It has all the characteristics of the very best sitcoms.

^^^^^^ trolling or not? anyone, besides jagger?

Give it a rest Tom.

Today Ray = Alec Baldwin in 30 Rock

hoping there will be another strip tomorrow for full fuck you friday fullfillingness

seriously this is some kind of awesome, have just gotten up to the end of 2004, will save the rest for other days.

They're giving away free Achewood tats at a place in Portland! If I had hell of frequent flier miles I would be there in a second.

Do you want me to get one for you, Abbott?

Plz! And you can write my name under it if you want. VICARIOUS LIFE IS GREAT.

Maybe I'll have it be Roast Beef on the moon but instead of JAVA he'll write ABBOTT onto my forearm.

Oh my goodness! :D

I don't know how you'd explain it later in life. "Uh...I just really liked Flatland."

Former MLB pitcher Jim Abbott taught me so much about perseverance and how we should all just do our best no matter what!

Do you think anybody would buy that?

HAHAHAHA I would. There's plenty of barely-explicable tats in this world.

I think I would get that Ray shirt they had a few years ago. Sadly I lost the shirt and contacting Chris & crew brought no results. Someday though...

Oh sorry, the design on the shirt that I would have tatooed on to me was ray from hip up at 3/4 profile holding a martini glass gold medallion and nipples proudly on display. It was great.

Ray will slo-mo this footage and set it to SRV's Life By The Drop

haha fuck, purely by coincidence I've just reached the initial explanation for 'fuck you friday'. i think tombot should just post that comic rather than zing people from now on.

For me nothing beats Phillipe being possessed by the soul of Billy Joel. "Ray you old punter! Got a fag for your mate?" Despite this phrase supposedly being British, I think I am the only person in Britain who says it. It drives my boyfriend mad.

this remains the pinnacle of achewood - and possibly western narrative fiction - thus far:

"That's Todd. I know him. I know Todd."

I was thinking about carving a Philippe pumpkin this year.

I think the one after the one stevie just posted is my absolute favorite (the driftwood one) but that one is pretty fantastic too.

That is one of my favorites.

"Wallace Shawn is ears-deep in cleavage just giggling his head off"

brilliant

I have this on my bookcase...

yeah, it's wicked

try again

ray is the best character, hands down

Ray vs. Philippe

Probably Ray, Philippe is kind of twee but still awesome

Primo Phillipe:

I see so much of Roast Beef in myself I can't really side with anyone else. I suspect quite a bit of ILX is gonna have my back here, also

Roast Beef is my worst case self and Ray is my idealized self.

I suspect that may be implicit in the strip re: Onstad

(suspicion largely unfounded, based on one or two interviews I read with him)

phillipe is a bit twee yes, but i guess kids just are, that's were twee comes from innit. roast beef is just a classic misery case comedy character, but mr smuckles kills it.

You need to read more/closer if all you get out of Phillipe is 'twee'

no one "gets" phillipe ;_;

Roast Beef is my worst case self and Ray is my idealized self.

v.much OTM

You need to read more/closer if all you get out of Phillipe is 'twee'

k, man i'll have to think really deeply about a stuffed toy baby otter in a web comic, maybe i'll write a thesis on it.

Philippe's fucking great. Yeah, a whole comic with nothing but Philippe would be a bit much, but as one character in an ensemble piece he's a fantastic alternative viewpoint, he's twee BUT HE'S FIVE ffs. I love Philippe.

nothing much can beat nice pete's description of murder
