I think you mean a crappy little bullshit man.

The next time you have somebody in your car, say this to them.

Just because he can't read doesn't mean sucking dick didn't buy that van.

just because sucking dick bought the van doesn't mean he can't read

Why this doesn't have more chubbies, I can't fathom.

i would like to see this license plate frame offered for sale. it would go over like hotcakes in my home town.

Your hometown differs from my hometown in profound ways.

Fewer than you'd think, good fellow; fewer than you'd think.

He likes drugs, and doesn't seem to have a job, how you think he pays for things?

Stealin'

Stealin' Dick?

Oh. Todd. That had me a little worried.

Selling smack out of his van.

Being a private contractor?

RUNNING. RUNNING smack out of his van. It's a very important distinction.

Classic.

i want one for my car!!!!

todd seems pretty open about unwated male on male sex, ie. he wasn't fat, he was having tony c's prison baby.

Todd's rad.

Says a lot about Todd that the best thing he got going in his life (his van) has THAT license plate and a horn that goes "If this band's a rockin', I'm doing coke listening to Dokken".

So what's canon, then - is his van made from a stork slain by his own hand , or did he buy it?

Strangely, the license plate holder came from the stork just as the plush chamber, tape deck, etc.

It's possibly that Suckin' Dick bought the stork in the first place.

The stork was from the Todd Creation Myth . Myth implies that it's not real.

The same might be said for the talking squirrel school of comic-making.

Why would I say that? I sound like a dick.

Maybe Todd just updates his story periodically to keep us guessing, for the truth would be far too much for our puny minds to handle.

Stranglin' stork bought this van.

Maybe it's just because I'm already thinkin' bout dongs, but "stranglin' the stork" is an awesome euphemism for masturbation.

Alt text: "Alley-oop assistance: Mr. D. Perkins"

when I was originally reading these strips 4 years ago, I was terribly confused by the ALT texts... I still am :::

I have only been reading This Modern World for ten years.

I have read this strip many times since I discovered Achewood in 2006.

And this is the first time it has occurred to me to wonder if D. Perkins is Tom Tomorrow.

Is there anything suckin' dick can't buy? Not in my experience.

it can't buy love, my materialistic friend

Can it buy more dick sucking?

I beg to differ!

i thought that teodor was a rabbit for a long time.

I thought the cats were all dogs for a while. The jowls.

What was Ray doing on the floor to even notice that in the first place.

Probably buying a van.

Probably my favorite Achewood.

I picture one of those awful, brazen car commercials with the announcer screaming in your face. "COME DOWN TO SUCKIN' DICK! SUCKIN' DICK will get you the best deals! SUCKIN' DICK will give you cash for your old wreck!"

Truly dreadful.

Sucking dick buys anything!

This is probably my favorite achewood ever


Todd probably just got his van licensed in Texas and didn't want to pay to upgrade to one of the custom designs.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's how Todd did get that van... never know what he's going to do

This comic is so great. This pretty much sold me on Achewood; only a handful of things have made me laugh to the point of tears (probably the only other thing was about how Bill Brasky date-raped David Bowie).

My old roommate had this incredibly shitty old astrovan, so I had to make a licence plate holder that said this on it. To my knowledge, he still hasn't seen it.

The frame is to clarify for the Squirril Police, since they explicitly asked.

Am I the only one who initially read this strip & immediately tried to read/translate a hidden message in "7CFL485"... and completely didn't see the license plate holder text until an embarrassing amount of minutes later?

Thought so.

Oh, no, I definitely did that way back when I first read this strip. You are not alone.

As did I. Well, it was only like 10 seconds, but still.
