A bittersweet strip, as it signaled the end of the Scotland saga in Lyle's blog, probably my favorite "story arc" in the blogs.

Exactly. The best blog story brought in in so subtle a manner it's possible to never know it happened. The clarity he gains in the convent just goes to show that Lyle owns it.

I, too, enjoyed Lyle's Scotland arc, but I don't think he "gained" clarity in the convent. I'm pretty sure that's just how Lyle's brain operates when there's no outside influence. It makes you wonder what the dude could have done if he never picked up a bottle.

I wouldn't have toilet parties, but hall parties are something else; people get all squeezed together in ways that are both uncomfortable and arousing.

Teodor is dancing and having fun! I am glad to see that, as he seems to have less fun than Beef does, despite the lack of depression.

After being held captive by the catholic church for months, Lyle is now back to being so drunk that he needs people to tell him if he has shat his pants.

Plus, it's kind of a call back to the original "Party" (maybe the last time we saw Ray and Blister together? I can't do the research now), with Ray's note to Teodor on Penny's gift.

That's my favorite part of the strip; though I like to think that LB and Vlad are just using Andy as a place to put their empties...the guy is basically a wall, so why not?

Does anyone else see Ray saying "Bilster" instead of "Blister"?
I love that feeling at a party when a bunch of people you know and haven't seen together for a while start showing up.

It has been years since I first discovered Achewood, and I've read through the archives at least five times since then, and yet this is the first time I ever noticed the Highlander reference on this comic. I love you, Achewood. Run away with me and bear my half-man half-webcomic children.

Yeah, I read that comic, too.
you must be wearing a misfits shirt, carry a bottle of scotch, and smell like a distillery for this line to work. And it wouldn't hurt to have a handlebar mustache.
But if you don't say that people won't let you know. They just avoid you like they're little miss perfect bowel control.

bathroom is the sweetest spot at a house party. close to the source of the beer, best placed for peeing or vomiting if needed, good acoustics. well played.
