ILX Milk Carton

There's one other thing you need to click which I haven't revealed, so this thread doesn't have to die if people can't figure it out by themselves, ok?

not sure u ppl have sussed the purpose of this thread

*susses*

ha, I think I'm about to retire this screen name p soon. I just gotta get rid of D.A.M.'s huge stack of dangling bookmarks...

i know its been years but did sleep just ditch ilx for life?

dating myself here but I wonder about Horace Mann. I also miss StephenX but I could probably find him irl in DC if he is still here?

Horace still posts a bit, has changed names several times since that one

acoleuthic took a long break with a couple of one-off returns, has been posting regularly but sparsely under current name for a little under a year

Someone asked upthread but wither Todd Swiss? As he had cancer I really worry abt what happened to him.

Todd is around on ILX some. I talked with him at a beer event a few weeks ago, he promised to at least hit the Chicago thread a few times.

Oh thats good to hear :)

Probably should have asked this two years ago(?) but.. RabiesAndGentlemen?

lol

Arbys.

I think?

Saw some old revive and thought 'hey, that dude was cool.' Are you still here hiding under a different name??
Ah!

here i am

hi arby's! I love your roast beef sandwiches. <3

hi arbys! sorry I thought your logo was an oven mitt instead of a cowboy hat. the animated oven mitt mascot confused me.

hi arby's! I dont know if I love your roast beef sandwiches because the one and only time I went through your drive thru a cockroach flew out of the drive thru window and into my car and almost made me vegetarian 4 lyfe

O_o

haw @ mitten

omg

hi arby's! the one time i ate at arby's, i was looking at an andy warhol print on the wall and my dad told me that andy warhol was a "disturbed homosexual". also, i hate roast beef!

not even gonna go there.

I don't remember ever going to an Arby's but I guess I must have because I distinctly remember my parents having several of these BC cartoon glasses that Arby's gave out as a promo item in 1981 and can now be bought on EBAY for $6.49

It's so weird, the random stuff we remember.

wait, andy warhol was gay?

arby's, my man. i love your jamocha shakes.

thanks for reading,

brownie

My parents had those glasses too. I think most of our glasses were fast food promo glasses.

a BC tie-in! that is so fucking low rent, i love it

Oh, man, I totally remember those B.C. glasses.

Hey, arby's, thanks for being the only thing open in downtown Chicago that one Easter Sunday when I had to work. I could have starved to death, but your curly fries saved the day.

LOL I can't believe other people remember those damn glasses. YAY! I swear we had at least one of those in our cupboards until at least 1990.

I have never eaten at an Arby's but there's one a mile or so from my house and I took my son in there to go pee a few weeks ago. Smelled pretty nice (the sandwiches not the restroom).

a BC tie-in! that is so fucking low rent, i love it

haha. b.c. was like the most depressing comic strip ever. when i was growing up my older brothers had peanuts compilations, family circus books, garfield, etc. i would devour them. try as i might, though, i could never make it through this damn b.c. book that they had

also, am i making this up or wasn't johnny hart some way christian dude? if so why is his strip based on heretical evolutionary theories?

lol I remember hearing a rumor about how all the "beef" shows up to Arby's in liquefied form.

^yes, i heard that too

whaaaaat

Being Christian is bad enough for someone's who's the author of a comic strip called BEFORE CHRIST, but when you draw strips like these

you're really not doing any favors for anyone.

I mean, tons of great cartoonists are proudly religious, they just don't let it interfere with the humor of their profession.

wuz crappenin, me. i ate at me every other day bcz i was right next to my work then changed my screen name to myself and later ppl in this thread made me lol

wow @ that outhouse one. hilair

As far as BC/Arby's is concerned, I've been tempted to start a thread devoted to those weird partnerships.

For example:

http://betsylescoskydesign.weebly.com/uploads/4/1/0/0/4100497/1752901.jpg

I stopped at a Roy Rogers on my way back to Toronto from NYC and I ordered a roast beef sandwich excitedly. It was like eating a cutout of a picture of an Arby's sandwich. The worst I've ever had. One bite and I threw it away :*( I was so hungry too.
Jamoca shakes OTM. Those were like crack for me when I was a kid. Possibly because of the caffeine(??)

when i was a kid roast beef was just about my favorite food. i remember it being pretty decent at the roy rogers chains. arby's version though was like something you'd find in someone's shoe

Dude had a SANDWICH named after him and yet, here he is pushing HOT DOGS.

that's treason is what that is

haha

yeh all fast food places should be partnered with comic strips. what the world needs now is some sbarro pizza/funky winkerbean synergy

i remember my friend being kinda outraged when snoopy was in those life insurance commercials. feel kinda the same way about dagwood and curly fries

RabiesAndGentlemen probably ranks among my top 5 least favorite usernames (usernames only-- not posters)

arby's probably ranks among my top 5 favorite

some sbarro pizza/funky winkerbean synergy

kudos

Seriously, a kid buying a Moolatte shake in one of these would be like if McDonalds offered me Katzenjammer Kids mugs in 1981.
