This strip reminds me of my friend's one legged chain-smoking grandma. She sat near a window overlooking the highway and listened to the police scanner at maximum volume all day long .

my friend's dad slept with a police scanner on full volume so that he wouldn't wake himself with his snoring. It was a pretty fucked up scene.

What the fuck? My dad did the same thing, but not for snoring. He just had it on as he slept.

My grandfather is a retired fireman and he has one. I think it's supposed to soothe him like a ticking clock for puppies.

The aforementioned grandma had several lying around that we later sold - it appears they can be obtained at RadioShack and probably at other places selling electronics. Hers looked like the model in the link, but they have even spendier ones it seems.

Even though the link is broken, it still gives us a splendid view of the current Radioshack slogan, which is, apparently "Do Stuff", which is just as good in my eyes.

You wait until the officer begins to return to his car with your license, then you assault him and tear the scanner from his car.

I hope one day to get into law enforcement. Now I also hope that when I get in, I meet a co-worker who is an Achewood fan. We can re-create this very scenario and then tell our friends about it who won't understand unless they read Achewood.

This takes me back. Ten years old, turning out all the lights, and watching the lights on the police scanner go back and forth until they got a signal.
Most of the time I couldn't understand what the hell they were saying, so I think my pre-adolescent brain just assumed they were all solving murders and major drug cases like on Dragnet.
Knowing my small town, it was probably just the usual routine drunk and disorderly at the many, many watering holes in provincial western PA. Also the occasional ambulance.

Why is there such as avatar conversation? I would like to read about this comic; I will help with my own dullard's insights.

Isn't the Fargo store the building Roark designed in the Fountainhead? Or... is Onstad just reffering to the actual Wells Fargo. (It is most likely the latter)

You can upload your own images as avatars. Just click the "edit view" link on the right, under "My Profile," and then the "edit" link under your avatar.
It's ok man, I got a damn llama. What more, someone else has this same damn llama.

Chubby for your comment...as paired with your avatar.
I'm sorry to jerk you around like this.
Whoa! This answers so many questions I'd been struggling with as to why there are so many clone avatars on this board! Especially the whole llama situation. There are, like, four of those. I didn't even know that you could let it choose one for you. Let alone why you would allow it to.
Yeah, the repetitive avatars are a nuisance...I used to identify people purely by avatar and all the people with generic ones would run together. It's best to personalize. It adds credibility to your posts, too; shows you care, y'know?
Holy crap, I just realized you have a RIOT avatar!!! I've been seeing your comments throughout the whole archive, and to be honest there were times where I kind of thought you were a dick, but now I feel I was mistaken. Rock on.
Well, I guess we're gonna have to sort some things out. See, you called me a douche once, and I didn't take it too well. I then left some comments which may or may not amuse you.
I guess what I'm saying is that you may want to hold off on the peace process until you read them.
But yeah, RIOT rocks.
If I may make a confession...when I see your avatar, I see a Bichon Frise. And I can't unsee it.
That's understandable. But this Bichon Frise will tear you and your city down. Remember that.
...and they grew to be the best of friends.
Or at least post concurrently a lot on the newer strips without any visible ill will.
We even "Facebook!"
seriously?
It's ok. At this point I have so many comments referring to the llama or have other people referring to the same llama. After all this time, it's... it's grown on me. God damnit, I love my damn llama!
Everytime I see that avatar, the little talk-show host inside my head announces, "Ladies and gentlemen, RRRROOOODD HHHUUUUUGGINNNNS!"
Its a very good thing, this feeling.
I was assigned this avatar. I love it much more than I did when I started.
