Roasted-up Ding Dong Friday, March 14, 2003 • read strip Viewing 53 comments:

It is a fine thing when a lady recognizes that a dude is making an effort, even when he gets it wrong.

It is arguably the best thing.

Arguably? UNDEBATABLY the greatest thing.

It sucks when you just try SO hard and then it just topples over without a word from anyone. And then you spend the next 6 years of your life worrying about what the women think of you. ;_;

Well, at least Machamp was there to comfort you in his loving, Vishnu-like embrace.

Chubby for gratuitous religious reference.

Such a concise chain of virtuous women, tragedy, Pokémon and Hinduism.
Chubbies for all!

"Achewood is a celebration of the English language." Onstad may have been being sarcastic, but he shouldn't have been being.

First line makes it.

Nah. The straight up roasted ding-dong and God Bless are the key sentences here. At least for me.

I just...why would you even do this.

Why.

There is no China in heaven.
They all reincarnate over there.

God bless everyone this weekend. Enjoy your ding-dongs.

i got so much ding dong i can share some.... ladies

I hope I never have to use the phrase "I'm sorry I straight up roasted your ding-dong" in real life.

I hope I do.

I... already have?

Seriously how could anybody not like Molly, she is so dang cute

I don't know, some cheesy ass woman telling me she was there to "Fill in the blanks" sounds like the kind of condescending bullshit that would really piss - Hold on, what's that ringing? Is that the bitter single man's phone?

No its not.

Because the bitter single man's phone never rings.

Did you just burn yourself ?

no, it was life.

As long as it wasn't his ding dong.

I have to 100% agree with you that a lady telling a dude she is there for him so she can "fill in the blanks" does indeed sound condescending and bullshit-y. :(

its only condescending to a dude who is an arrogant, prideful, unholy dickweed.

Exactly. To someone who's clearly as awkward and bumbling as Roast Beef (and Molly might even suspect depression, though it's a bit early), it's actually a really sweet and reassuring thing to say.

I have a feeling that Molly knows he got depression. In my version of heaven, everyone knows your problems and are cool about it.
That said, I'm not an anthropomorphic cat.

That is why men are good for women. We can fill up those blanks.

is he? i always thought god bless was a joke.

if it's a joke, i guess i don't get it.

Juxtaposition of 'roasted ding-dong' and 'god bless' = comedy.

You are confusing the comic with the man behind the comic

i don't know, to me the last panel looks like a direct message from onstad. do you have some kind of proof it's not? it doesn't further the plot or amuse me in any way, so why else would he put it there? i'm not trying to be confrontational, i'm genuinely curious why people thought what i said was lame.

I didn't think it lame, I just was genuinely curious as to if he was.
And i figured god bless was a joke because it is at the end of a strip about roasted rooster dick.

A roasted rooster dick in heaven no less. If Onstad is trying to make any statement, it might be that things aren't even perfect in heaven (chicken dick.) But I think its more likely that he recognized the humor in juxtaposing "Straight up roasted your ding dong" and "God Bless."

yes this is what i was getting at thank you for typing it for me internet person

It sort of like Onstad is doing the whole Johnny Carson "Okay! Goodnight everyone! After that joke, the show is officially over. Aren't we dignified?"

That was roughly my impression as well. Still, I did not care for the whole "god bless" part in it. I mean, I can see how it might be played for laughs, but it just didn't really work for me in that context. Instead I just found it unpleasant and unwanted like anytime anyone says that to me. It definitely lowered my opinion of the entire strip.

also everyone believes in god on the weekends right

Well well well. Look who it is.

I give up. Who is it?

the good reverend sam

dude, wayne booth's implied author. check it!

this apology came straight from the heart

Achewood: The TRUTH about What Roosters Have Under They Feathers and Whatnot

"I'm sorry little dude....I'm sorry that I straight up roasted your ding dong." got me thrown out of a fine resturant.

I want that alt text on a shirt with a list of the funniest Achewood lines. It would be a great shirt.

Is it common practice for poultry to be circumcised?

A nice tender moment between Roast Beef and Roast Dong.

I love that when he speaks to the rooster he addresses the ding dong

That don't mean it's gonna be alright.
