What can you do? He's the Pat of the Achewood comments section

HAHAHA!

Dude... you completely nailed it.
Thanks for clearing that up! I was confused.

his blog probably sucks though.

Was it wrong to chubby this even though I never read any of his comments (they're all lamed)?

Seek the answer in your avatar.

That is so not true. There's a reason, if your lame threshold is set high enough, asherdan's comments are always the most chubbied as well- guy just knows how it is.

It feels harsh that all the plot-advancement strips are rated 3.bumfuck

At least some strips are averaging below a 4. I mean, I love achewood as much as the rest of you, but if every strip is rated above median, what's the point? I'm starting to lowball my ratings so a 5 means an all-time favorite, 4 means hilarious and very memorable, 3 means good & solid, etc.

I go with 4 for most of them: solid dialogue etc and just achewood brilliance. 5 is for the classics, 3 is for when an arc veers into stupidity or a joke misfires. 2 is for seriously weak strips. 1 is for reruns.

I don't know about you all, but I still have that honour-roll mentality, where anything below an 85 (becomes 4.5) is just unacceptable. A 3 is like a 60: that's a F.

I am retrospectively so glad that a month of combined major depression, stress, and sleep deprivation rid me of the honor-roll mentality.

It was a hard life. I now see that it is OK to have a C sometimes. My life does not require an A average to happen.

Month 4 of mine. I understand thet a "D" is passing on a logical level, but I still get this image of myself growing up to be the lowest-paid stripper in Arkansas

Not even.

Ds are on par with becoming a freelance fluffer or something.

Dude this did not help at all .


On the other hand, a couple of D's would be good to have as a stripper.

A 60 is NOT an F.

Somehow I don't think rats getting it on in your salad would pass a health inspection

Not just doing it, doing it Missionary style!

Years later I am still trying to figure out why Showbiz apparently considers missionary position to be the most disgusting sexual position to find two rats in, in your food.

I would have gone with "reverse cowgirl style" but I guess that's just me.

Seriously, though, picture two rats in that position.

boo to that.

Showbiz doesn't know when to stop fronting.

Ray's gesture and expression in panel 2.

Is beef in panel 5 saying that the rats getting it on missionary style sound good to him? That's the way I've always read it.

I think he knows Showbiz is lying and is getting hell of suspicious

*I* think he's responding to what Ray said. Ray, of course, having completely ignored everything Showbiz said while engrossed in the menu.

There's something ironic about two brothers being mistaken for one another, one having a much lower status then the other, while walking into a restaurant named after the antagonist from The Man in the Iron Mask .

Dang! I knew there was some reason to stay in college.

I think Beef's look in panel 1 is to do with fears he may have if his wine taste are brought into question in the resteraunt.

As far as jokes in the strip go, it's pretty boring. But the alt-text where Onstad criticizes his own continuity errors get me every time.

Missionary style? That's sick!

why is this rated so low?
