This is literally how my thoughts look when evidence suggests someone knows one of my guilty secrets.

Those headlines gives off a pretty frantic vibe, but Philippe is rad enough to keep it all internal. Only slight sadness shows.

This needs more chubbies, if only for having spent the time to discover that Onstad is turning Achewood into a "Da Vinci Code" that is not crocodile turd in the main.

DIABETES makes it
I agree 100%
Botanical abortion isn't as political as you would think.
Absolfreakinglutely.
This is really funny if you already have the conception of Cornelius talking like Wilford Brimley. Diabeetus!
Oh, shit, like fifteen other people already made that joke.
I would chubby this but it has 69 already and that is a good number.

Someone lamed the guy with the horrible disease.
We are harsh around here.

Nothing against Catachresis, but imagine, if you will, the fate of this sentence if it were the first post on the Assetbar of today (12/08).
My prediction would be 0 chubbies/4 lames.
This was a much kinder place at this point.
Too kind, really.
On my more recent strolls through the archives, I've noticed more and more of this. Extremely unremarkable comments that have 50 chubbies; similar comments made on current strips often seem to be ignored.
The thing that surprises me is that a lot of these older posts still seem to be garnering chubbies. The guy above mentioned it having 69 chubbies in Jan/Feb 2008. That's roughly 9-10 months after assetbar came into being. This also means that the amount of chubbies (currently 132) has almost doubled in the last 11 months.
Why are people still chubbying these types of comments?
If I had to hazard a guess (and for some damn reason I do) , I'd say that a lot of people do what I did; get initially intimidated by the sheer size of the current boards and decide to cut their teeth back here where it's relatively safe and warm. The chubby/lame system is new and exciting to them at this point. They don't yet realize the virtue of saving what you have until after you've read the whole thread for that day. They see this first comment and think to themselves, "Why, yes - "DIABETES" does make it!" and naively throw a chubby at it, not realizing till a bit later that they wasted the one that they should've given to the now iconic Brimley macro below. By then it's too late. They make a mental note and move on. But the damage is done.
jesus christ!
you guys. come on.
What?
holy shit!
what the shit?
who's this blowjob?
Crap, dude!
