do YOU love achewood, too?

Holy shit why did I never notice this very important bit of information before

The guy who writes this strip is my friend's cousin. My friend has a T-shirt. He doesn't let being related to a celebrity go to his head.

Onstad is a celebrity?

Achewood may be the best thing in my life right now. <3<3<3 forever

I was, you know, kidding (about the celebrity thing. My friend really is related to him, though).

He's a celebrity to me, forever.

I have probably a half-dozen achewood shirts. I should buy more.

There was recently a interview with Onstad in the Onion AV Club and they printed the first publically-known photo of him. My first thought was that he resembled some past minor Achewood character, like he had anonymously drawn himself in. But I can't recall which character.

He looks like a bro.

no way! bros don't have super circular heads, wear purple turtlenecks, rock Lennon glasses, and hang out in front of gothic architecture. his posture might be sending mixed signals but there ain't no way this guy is anything but a geek.

You should read his blogs, he complains about kids in much more expensive houses than his sleeping soundly knowing their parents invented the Google color scheme.

I love how little his cats are anthropomorphized, ie they have the weird gangly legs, long torso, and big thighs of a cat. Inventing the whole Underground thing to explain how they get to Subway is pretty genius, too.

Onstad looks like if Emeril and Spongebath had a third member of their cadre who was even more into the Tenmen than the others.

casuistry to thread

Clay has been pushing Achewood on me for years but it took this one to get me to finally read the whole thing last weekend. It is better in large doses. That particular strip is insanely great, however.

xpost no Clay to thread.

He, uh, is a minor Achewood character!

His legs are, anyway.

haha i just tried to post that

Nanny scared the f out of me as a kid. Her socks were a pretty big factor. She dresses like a bag lady.

thanks to this thread for a wasted afternoon. :/

I love Achewood more and more and more and more...

Also some of Ray's finer moments collected here:

RAY MOTHERFUCKING SMUCKLES

I like the one where Nice Pete is telling a "joke" about a man who's been overcharged for dental treatment ram-raiding the surgery with his van and "completely destroying" everyone inside, only the punchline is him getting a carrier bag out and going "here are some of their hands"

Also, Judas Priest Friday

i'm just going to read achewood for the rest of the day, if thats okay with you

Perfectly fine. Knock yourself out!

Oh Mr. Smuckles, you are a holler and a hoot.

This really should be a picture thread...

dammit now i too have succumbed

Ah well, it was only a matter of time I suppose.

haha now i'm gonna post loads of exuberant comments and make you hate achewood :D

Hilarious as always.

you think i was joking? :D

Remember: Not all attention is good attention.

dude, lighten up ffs and stop picking up on every little thing i say (even if it's an entirely neutral comment) with some 'terse', negative put-down. let some sunshine in, jeez.

Get over thyself young Louis.

onstad should turn our knockabout badinage into a strip

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
