That's quality television.

Rated PG-13 for violence and whispers (and being way too freaking long)

No squeaky rubber mallards were harmed during the production of this film

I read it as "squeaky rubber mallets." "Mallards" is much better; blame the heated up marijuana (yet somehow I can still use a semicolon?)

One should never forget the semicolon, for it is the mightiest of the punctuation marks.

Or, at least, it's my favorite.

Tekende totally rocks the semi!

why would I post that though

Rocking a semi near a colon is bound to disappoint everybody.

That depends on how the owner of the colon would feel about the whole thing.

I mean, I'd be disappointed.

I totally read mallets too! I guess I just associate small dogs more with cartoon violence or olde timey carpentry than with ducks.

This helps me a lot. My dog has a little problem with the 'submissive urination'.

I wonder what "secret, private dachshund ideas" are...

Dog: "What are you trying to tell me? That I can climb stairs?"
Redford: [whispering] No, Frankie. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready, you won't need to."

I live with three dachshunds and at least one of them can get up on the couch

Badgers the size of ants, being torched by a Dachshund with a magnifying lens

I think Onstad knows.
From what little photographic evidence I've seen, he seems to cohabit with two dachshunds.

A comment left by ishuta was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by VandenBos, gormster, mattylite, Darthemed)

Ohhhhhhhhh right.

"Violence"

YES!

Yeah, but dachshund violence. Way funnier than human violence.

"Violence, whispers"

It's like the Achewood TV Guide channels TVGoHome :)

I gave it a four just for "secret, private dachshund ideas."

I know it's a pretty simple strip, but I'm aghast that it has a lower rating than some of the awful guest strips. "...secret, private dachshund ideas..." The strip could be just that line and be worth a 4.

I have to say, a traumatic spay would make me violent and unpredictable as well. The creature's reaction is appropriate.

I wish I had a heavily chewed squeaky rubber mallard

This strip has a real Gary Larson feel to it.

I have officially read every Achewood strip. This was the last one on the list of "You haven't seen..."

YES!!!!

You even saw "the secret strip" or whatever the fuck gets you to 1 strip higher than my total.

For me, the 'secret, private dachshund ideas' is a great line, but for some reason, the idea of the movie being 170 min. is my favorite part. Imagine watching Robert Redford talking to a dog, excuse me, whispering to one for almost three hours while hidden in couch cushions. Sounds like an instant classic.

I read that as "a therapeutic burrow out of the woman's crutch cushions"

Stadly has dachshunds. He had an actual picture of one.
