This is an excellent comment, you got cold disrespected eleven times.

So many people hate asherdan and I do not know why. Is it his avatar? It kind of looks dumb, I guess, but come on guys that is not a good enough reason.

You should Know your Assetbar before you start having sympathy for the fallen one.

Wow, I really need to start answering the phone like this.

sometimes i answer, "Hey Adam! I'm taking a dump right now!"

This would be a better story if I could assume that you're not talking to Adam when you say it.

You just assume whatever you want, dear, and the good Lord will provide.

...the good Lord will REMOVE ADAM. That's a big call tekende.

that is some sweet beans evolume anyway

Would you call your friends Beef, regardless of who they were or what their name was?

Man after Achewood I wish my friends would call me Beef.

I have a friend at school that publicly goes by Beef. Since there were multiple chrises in our group. He never answers to chris anymore

I just spent about thirty seconds trying to imagine what sort of crises might have befallen your group which would've made it so that your friend wouldn't answer to his real name. Then I used my ability to read English.

People should go back to this strip so they can read how funny this asset is.

It is totally sweet beans that Ray is naked

I love how they have themes for doing ordinary stuff. I need to take my life this seriously.

Time to re-evaluate man.

More than anything else, this is Enriched, Weapons-Grade Achewood. Right here.

Yo can't possible use those daily. You would be rightly ostracised.

This one gets a five for becoming the first bit of achewood dialogue I quoted regularly. In music reviews.

"Hey READERS! Check it out! I'm NAKED!"

Regretfully chubbied because I couldn't NOT hear that post in Don Knotts' voice.

Panel 4 may be my favorite. Beef needs neither capitals nor punctuation.

That is some sweet beans indeed.

This was the strip that sold me on Achewood forever. "These guitar notes are so good dude" is the quintessential Achewood line. It will not make you laugh unless you have spent enough time with these two characters to appreciate the manner in which they speak.

Ray is so slick he announces his nudity when somebody calls him .

I talk often about the dichotomy of these two cats, speaking of it as a grand chasm or some such thing. This strip shows that even more impressive is the bridge that is built over saisd chasm.

It makes me very happy that clicking on the strip from the main page does not bring you here, but rather, to the large picture of a young Chris Isaak. I was worried, when Acheworld was introduced that the opposite might be true. Thank you Mr. Onstad. Thank you.

What is unclear to me is Onstad's feelings for Isaak. Seems like he's genuinely praising him, but I've been fooled before.

I emailed this to my mom who loves Isaak, she then responded with an awkward sounding response. I guess most mothers don't expect cats in thongs when they check their email.

Most mothers aren't as lucky as yours.

Being naked is sweet beans.

You sort your albums by artist first name? Why?

Also, judging by this post you have excellent taste in music.

Windows Media Player did it: My physical albums are just stacked together on my speaker. My fat-ass cat knocks them over all the time and I'm like "what the hell, why do I keep you guys like this why is my cat so adipose?"

I see, yes, iTunes sorts my albums like that as well, come to think of it. Hey by the way, did you know that you're totally awesome?

Suspicions have been raised. Also, that just made my day. Yay, strangers on the internet!

I don't know who Lamed this thread but I chubbied both for a bit of balance. I feel like the King of Unedited joy-giving/comment making. This can bring lames. It is a shame.

Thanks, woodenteeth!

He's a wonderful anachronism of the 50's, like a son of Roy Orbison. Thank you, Mr. Onstad and you others who love this performer.

Where is Ray's phone robe?

Well then he wouldn't be naked now would he?

He is naked because he lost his phone robe?

We are caught in a vicious cycle.

Beef called Ray. I think Ray only dons it when he is able to prepare for a phone call. The robe is not in an easily accessed place (i.e. stored next to his Mad-Rutty-Crown on the top of his wardrobe).

Chris Isaak's guitar notes are so good.

5'd for those costumes.

Brilliant.

it just occurred to me; does beef have a dick?

yes.

i don't know why you don't remember this.

The reason I 5'd this strip is because I realised that it gets slightly (only slightly) less funny as it goes along. My hypothesis is that the best Achewood strips start off funny then get funnier, so I read the strip backwards and discovered the true hilarity of the thing. Genius.

One time I talked to one of my college professors on the phone while I was naked. She happened to call during a time of nudity. I did not, however, inform her of the whereabouts of my clothes (ie., not on my body).

I like how Ray's "duds" still include a thong.

Ray looks like he belongs in Eddie And The Cruisers.

It is necessary and a thing to dress up like the music you are into when listening to it.

As so is the way of things.

[IMGS OFF]

I gave Onstad a five for havin' fun here

These are the best notes, played on the prettiest guitar.

Doesn't get much better than Two Hearts at the end of True Romance.
