I was interested in this story and googled it (what else), but apparently the Google font is called "Catull" and you can buy it for 99$?

I once was in a choir for this IBM conference that was in NZ (a few years ago). It was pretty funky; at one point we sung behind a misted curtain. At the end, when they announced where the next one would be (screen flashes with ten possible sites, then settles on.. Hawaii!!!) we had to run up from behind the audience with party poppers and be really excited, then sing some more, waving to all the japanese guys.

Hundreds of years from now, archaeologists wil think we are all nimrods, until Onstad's harddrive is excavated and Achewood emerges once more. Then the archeologists will know that not everyone, at least, was a nimrod.

I have since revised my rating policy to compare the quality of each strip against only Achewood itself. When comparing this comic to anything else the temptation to give everything a 4 or 5 is far too strong.

A friend of mine works for Google. Every time we speak I chide him for not classing up their logo already.
He works for AdWords or something, though, and has no idea what I'm talking about.

I completely agree with Ray in panel 5. At the places where the IBM folks go to lunch, you drink your rye straight. Oh, sure, they'll give you a splash of water, or even a couple of ice cubes, but they'll look at you. They'll look at you and everyone there will know that you're doing it wrong. It is assumed that the men will drink rye at lunch, and while it is not assumed of the women, most of them do anyway. (The people who do not drink rye generally drink scotch, preferably Islay single malts, and most preferably very strong ones like Laphroaig. UN mediators are attempting to arrange a peace deal involving Maker's Mark, or failing that, some kinky Aberlour .)

Y'know, I never really thought of Google as having a logo, because they don't really have a product you need to seek out and see on the shelf or anything. It's just there. So I had to take a look and I agree, it's a stupid bunch of multi-colored letters like a second-grader might assemble on a rainy day. What a nice cover for a money-sucking ad placement machine disguised as a helpful search engine. Google exisits to sell you things, people. You are all suckers. (I use Ask.com)

All search engines do that, and the reason most people prefer Google is because a combination of factors, including it's goofy and benign looking logo make the large corporate schlong buried deep in our bowels feel a little less painful.
