The Pope Does Not Know Any Sluts. Thursday, December 10, 2009 • read strip Viewing 464 comments:

The Vatican? They any sluts up ins?

Does the Pope shit in the woods? Does a bear wear a funny hat? Find out next with KACW's Sidney Yamahata.

Does a bear live in Vatican City? Find out the shocking truth: only ten Pollack jokes.

Cue Ray: Bah! Why do I even subscribe!

Bears are allowed to visit but are generally not granted permanent resident status.

Compliments to your google skills for finding such a picture on moments notice, unless of course you had this stored on your computer awaiting such a script, then complements to your preparedness and amazing powers of foresight.

Unless you have a multitude of photos of slightly damp young children saved to your hard drive, in which case compliments to your skill in evading American law enforcement officers.

Listen, guys, I run a teddy bear kiosk across the street from St. Peter's Basilica. Why is that so hard to believe?

TITHINGS OF GREAT JOY TOUR

Oh man. Last time they had a world tour they did this thing where 80,000 peasants attacked each other with farm implements.

That sounds more like Christo to me.

What's the most hilarious about this it that you appear to have photoshopped the pope into a pope hat.

Yeah he was great in that film.

I would have chubbied this comment simply for the phrase "B-XVI Bomber." PERFECT.

re: your user name: does it have anything to do with your actual name?

I mistakenly moused over to get the alt text for this. In my book, that puts you on par with Onstad. Or Randall Munroe, but personally I'd rather be the guy who writes about cats taking driving tests.

I'd rather be as smart as Munroe, as funny as Larson and as poignant as Watterson.

Oh, and as rich as Jim Davis.

My favorite post.

The Pedo Bear website just ended, i think. Sad Face, people, Sad Faced times for us all.

HINT: www.lolpedo.com

part of me wants to see the pictures and part of me is afraid to

it is a predicament

I just realized when I saw this link hours ago I immediately clicked it, all without scruples.

If you ever accidentally see something that may not be entirely legal, use this program: https://eraser.heidi.ie/

It rewrites any portion of your harddrive like 7 times, (because images stay, even if you delete your cache, until more data overwrites it).

I looked at some of those lol pedo bear pictures and some of them were disturbingly tasteless. I guess making child porn a funny concept is one of those delicate balancing acts.

They're probably not cp, but you should keep in mind that cp doesn't have to involve nudity. Also, pictures of nude children isn't necessarily CP. It is a balancing act, and the best thing to do is not to go to sites about pedophile bears stalking half naked children.

No Assetbar?

Boo! I boo this man!

that was my ultimate solution the my predicament. i couldn't see it being funny enough to make up for it's lack of taste anyways

oh well

I know, right. People who are looking for humor probably don't want CP-esque kids mixed in, and people who are looking for CP probably aren't keen on having a giant anthropomorphic bear photoshopped in. I'd like to see them trying to sell this business plan to the bank.

What if a pedophile saw the cover of that Nirvana cd with the naked swimming baby? I forgot the title of the album, unless it was just "Nirvana"

"Never Mind," as in "Never Mind The Naked Baby's Bollocks, Here's Nirvana."

link dead. repost.

so much j/k here it is like j/k critical mass.

exactly what you'd want us to think...

You died yesterday.

I've certainly been better.

Yes. He needs something to justify the phallic hat.

I believe it's called a *mitre*

Mitre! I never even met 'er!


I like you jeff and I bet you couldn't give two shits about what I think but this setting up your own jokes thing is starting to reach. Just saying.

Are

to

imply

we're

related?

Nonsense! He doesn't look a thing like me.

Yes.

I don't mind, it's just like it reminds me of whenever I would post the "No." panel, or when sje did the bary onyx thing. And I'm not trying to stop you. I'm more commenting on the comedic value of it, like how Jerry complained to the priest about his dentist converting to Judaism for the jokes. FUCK YOUAHDSAHDHAasdkoasdjIJDI

Onyxly, that bary thing was way over done.

Get out.

Oh relax. I hadn't done it in like 8 months.

Sorry, I'll relax that two word sentence that ended with a period. It was totally bonkers.

Virtual chub.

Words spoken?

I didn't say you should care, I was Just Saying. You should know now that you see how many comments I make that there's little filter between my brain and my fingers. So yay, "you win," I guess. Thanks for making this a lot more hostile than it needed to be (ignoring the fact that I did indeed start it). Notice my tone: I even said I like you as an assetbarberer, which I do. But hey, there you go. I'm keeping my opinions to myself from now on.

Sorry, I did get a little dickish there. Please don't stifle any opinions on my account.

I'd call an end to hostilities but I've already paid a month's rent on the battlefield.

Now that one I can get behind. But I can see the stove.

Now I see why I stopped coming here.

What, you don't like the pain, the anguish, the attacks on your very person?

Jeffspaulding, I am cool with you. I consider you to be awesome.

You're not trolling him in this case, so I'm not crying about it and going WAAAAAH, STOP BEING MEAN. I just thought that measuring Chubbies was for Small people and that you were Above that sort of thing. Guess I was wrong.

Yes, yes, I know, I only have like 600 chubbies and hence do not exist in your eyes, but these are Small words, and I am a Small man.

says the guy with the stolen avitar

Don't worry, I'm pretty sure he'll just disregard everything I said because I have a paltry 600 chubbies

That actually really annoys the fuck out of me.

does it offend a deep seated sense of gender role normalcy?

It is how they say behind us.

C'mon, guys, just once will you let me have a punchline?

I gave you the "Hungerdunger, Hungerdunger, Hungerdunger, and McCormick" bit. Ain't that enough?

I guess there's another secret strip or something cause I've only viewed 1606 to your 1607s.

The pope does INDEED know sluts. It is a little known fact that the pope is always offered a personal concubine. Through my research I have discovered evidence that, for example, Pius V was paired with an Apo-Stacy III.

To a Catholic, "Does the Pope know sluts?" means "No."
To everyone else, it is "Yes, definitely."

Well, the Pope IS inphalliable...

A comment left by tragicone was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by gladi8orrex, pygmalion00, hotconnerybod, ubersplat)

Either you are making a much more complex joke than I realise, or you are sadly mistaken as to the spelling of 'phallus'.

lice on my phallice is maybe a toss up when compared with than this one time at the rice factory when me and my supervisor Jorge slipped away into one of the storage bins... Let me tell you, rice in your urethra tube...

You have taken Spiderman to remedial spelling school in the car of Grammar-Dick.
It is a car shaped like a....

wait for it....


weinie.

The nerd in me wishes to point out that that is not Spider-Man, but Carnage, an enemy of Spider-Man. The rest of me kind of wants to go get a sandwich.

I forget why I posted this comment.

I repeated your nerdy observation. Sorry 'bout it.

You forgot why you posted the comment, but was able to observe this in the comment before you posted it.
Must be a Negative Reality Inversion...

should be 'were able' not 'was able'

but don't get me wrong I not tryn'a disrespect your overall country, overall jeans overall Georgia, overall clean

OK, while we're on the subject:
No capital 'S' or full stop on the first sentence. No capital 'B' or full stop on the second sentence. 'I' instead of 'I'm'. "tryn'a". #Snigger# . And you didn't notice that I didn't leave a space between the words 'comment' or 'before'. Glasshouses, stones thrown etc.
I trust you will be checking gladi8orrex's post for spelling/grammar/conjugation/pronounciation. Or will you wuss out?

gladi8orrex's an artist!

Are you a politician?

SIR! PERMISSION TO BE A DICK TO A NON-STRANGER, SIR!

The car of grammar dick is something all can relate to. Also I think that is Carnage?

no, i'm just a dumbass

Look out everybody, Hatstand's phallus chops are hangin' out.

Shield your eyes bitch because it's comin' atcha.

You know, when I look back at this, I think I may have been trying to do something with the second "I" in inphalliable. maybe not, but maybe so.

Popes Gone Wild: show us your popes and get Rosary Beads!

We all know a pope knows a slut, but more importantly, we know the answer is no, a pope doesn't know a slut.

But the question remains: are there sluts, and are they known. If they are known, is it the pope who is doing the knowing. If the pope is doing the knowing, is it the knowing of sluts.

Oh he knows. Don't you worry. He always knows.

How many sluts could a good pope hump, if the good pope would hump sluts?

There once was a priest fresh from seminary
Who engaged in all types of debauchery
He was caught en delicto
But had no regret though
'Cause he'd purchased indulgences plenary

It's almost sad to imagine that the majority of American high school graduates would be unable to understand even half of this.

How has our education system failed us so much that we can't even appreciate ribald ecclesiastic limericks?

Is this the wrong time for a pun about simony?

Simony says "stand on your heads."

Dante speaks to Pope Nicholas III, committed to the Inferno for his simony

Another perfect assetbar symmetry between post content and post avatar.

Only comment on the page that made me laugh out loud.

daidai is droll.

Don't feed the droll.

Coffee break is over! Back on your heads!


Old 3rd Circle of Hell punchline.

Man why you gotta do a thing and bring American high school graduates into this.

Yeah man, why you gotta underestimate high-schoolers. Some of us can appreciate a good slant-rhymed limerick about papal profligacy.

A lot of high schoolers suck, but the ones that don't make up for it, usually. I KNOW I SURE DID HAR HAR HARHharhahrhhrrrr

I didn't even say high schoolers, but rather high school graduates. A group that would include a large majority of us here. It's more about the system than than the students. If anything the good ones are even better for making it through relatively unscathed.

I am a little too drunk to match your limerickal gangsterism. All i can come up with is:

There once was a Catholic priest,
Who, like his brethren, would feast,
On choirboys' balls,
The Pope was appalled!
And moved him two parishes east.

A goodman was pope pius the first
but deep was his child love thirst
when along came his craving
his wang went a-waving
and forth from his pope-robes it burst

From the western-most corners of China
To the beaches of South Carolina
Priests think it is rad
To be fans of a lad
But they cringe at the thought of vagina.

There once was a Father O'Reilly
Who favored his alter boys highly.
When told of his sin
He said with a grin
"But unlike Jesus they never deny me!"

Might have been more humorous to go with the image of Jesus as a pedo, with his denier-disciple as the protagonist.

I can never remember - (Doubting) Thomas was the doubter, so who was the denier?

Peter? This is without looking anything up. I'm guessing Peter, even though he was the one who Jesus made the ROCK. It sounds right.

Luke 22:54-62 (KJV)

54 Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off.

So then the cops dragged him off to this priest's place, right? Peter hung back a bit though, but wanted to see what the deal was.

55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.

Once everybody finally showed up they get it nice and toasty and dude just chillaxes.

56 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.

But then this ho fixed on him and was like "Hey, this is one of that dude's friends!"

57 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.

"Hells no bitch, I don't know that dude"

58 And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.

After a bit some other guy comes through and said "You are totally one of those guys!", but Petey was all like, "Man, I ain't even."

59 And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean.

'Bout an hour later and yet another douche comes by sayin', "He must have been with him, dude's Galilaean"

60 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.

"What the fuck man?", and just as he was gettin' this out the rooster crows.

61 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

And so Jesus just like looks at him and he's like "OH SHIT! Dude fuckin' called it."

62 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.

So Pete he runs out the door and cries like a little bitch with a fuckin' skinned knee and shit.

Yes.

Hell yeah

62 And going forth, he met Butterly.

Morning, Buck. Hows the scrotum?

How's

Lord Buckley did it better, dig? You still get a chubby for the effort.

Fuckin' assetbar. I know who I am and I want to give a chubby!

it's interesting how the only people who can't give chubbies are apparently the same ones that have me ignored and so don't see my common-sense advice of deleting the assetbar cookie. It's like, the same people who have me ignored maybe don't have any common sense... tryn' to give these people a whit of common sense is like yelling into a void...

"cookies!!!.... Did you try deleting your coockies???!!!!...."

HELLO hello ello llo lo oo o o

IS THERE ANYONE THERE there there...


okay I'm not sure what a coockie is...

it's a cookie... shaped like a penis.

Cockie?

I have deleted my "coockies" on at least three machines, logged out and logged back in, done the hokey pokey and turned around, and sometimes assetbar works and sometimes it doesn't.

okay sorry I was snide if you deleted your cookies then you are good people

The Nazz! Yeah man.

Well, the entire thing came from the line "Man, I am not." which just immediately sounded to me as being very Achewood. This, combined with the various attempts to modernize the language in later translations and how odd and awkward that often looks.

I was unaware of Lord Buckley, but I shall now make it a priority to learn more.

nicely done.

The Pope's Camerlengo did worry
for The Father's deep love was of Furry.
when not saying mass
he was plowing an ass
of cloth made with hedge-hog blue terry.

Is the furry pope reptilian?

Go fish

I'd make a very bad Christian
I love when you guys keep insistin'
The men of the cloth
All want to get off
To a young boy just learning of fistin'

As many as the good lord can provide.

Narenial! Good to see you again! (Have you been gone? I think you have.)

Somebody had been watching A Christmas Story

Had been two months ago, yes of course.

bitches runnin' wild at the Vatican

I wonder when the Pope stopped boning. I mean, I know that celibacy was technically required of the priesthood from the 12th century onwards, but when did the Pope cease to be the main badass of Europe, with a massive army and an entourage of concubines, and become a little chap who tells people to feel guilty about wearing condoms. Sixtus IV didn't care about condoms. He was too busy declaring crusades, fighting wars, building the Sistine chapel and having sex with his cardinals.

Sixtus had sex with IV?

If he was Sixtus the fourth , he could have sex with his Ordinals.

Thank you Randall

My new favorite wikipedia article:
List of sexually active popes .

Popes were raw

You don't even want to know about the motherfucking Antipope.

"The Imbecile Pope on its jewelled commode, voiding shit and gold coins, mumbling idiot phrases, jingles, pointless statistics"

Why do I get a Grant Morrison-ish vibe from this reply?
I could be mistaken, but something stirs in my muscle memory...

Sounds like the Grail in Preacher, but that was written by Garth Ennis. Same sort of mindset though.

Spot on, mehighlow. The Invisibles . A transcription of Morrison's fever-rantings from when the wanking magick possibly backfired and nearly killed him with a brain infection, if memory serves.

There was an inbred messiah in Preacher , as well as a giant, bulmic cleric, but no Imbecile Pope.

The Allfather, the leader of The Grail you mean. The Invisibles never really floated my boat but there you go.

Don't tell me what I mean , you fucking handful-of-your-own-shit-fucking CUNT !

(not sure if we're coninuing the animosity of the previous comment section, so offering some invective just in case. You [b[cunt[/b].)

Like a hammer hits a cantelope

I am the ANTIPOPE!

I'm just amazed no one has mentioned the motherflipping pornocracy yet. Best Historical Era Ever.

When I was a kid we had this fold-out ruler with historical facts on one side and periods of history on the other. The whole thing was very religiously minded (I think "Islam" was a period of history along with "late antiquity" and "the middle ages"), and one of the little historical facts it listed was just "850-1050: Pornocracy." That confused the dickens out of my little-kid self. So mysterious! No one knew what it meant!

pornacracy -- from the Greek pornokrati%u0101, "prostitute rule." A sample of activity from this period:

Quote:
Marozia became the concubine of Pope Sergius III when she was 15 and later took other lovers and husbands. She ensured that her son John was seated as Pope John XI


Why would a child's ruler have this dark episode included?

History is often dark and, in the opinion of people who feel the necessity of judging such things, not entirely appropriate for children.

The world isn't appropriate for children, that's why they fucking grow up in the first place.

Let's talk about papal sex Or: Everything you wanted to know about papal sex (but were too afraid to ask)

An endless parade of "housekeepers", "nieces", and "nephews" so far as I recall.

take me down to the vatican city
where the pope is old and the nuns are gritty
oh won't you please take me home

Swerving will definitely alert the driver behind you. It is Good Course of Action #53.

note that the previous 52 courses of action are 78% more likely to result in your survival.

actually deliberate swerving to draw attention to yourself is taught in motorcycle safety courses. It helps alert drivers to your presence and helps them to more accurately asse your speed since it gives you a larger footprint on the road, therefore making your apparent size larger. People tend to estimate the speed of a vehicle inaccurately when the vehicle is smaller or bigger than what they are used to. Since learning to use this technique for the motorcycle, I've sometimes found occasion to use it while driving a car.

Like when picking up sluts from the Vatican.

Ray is not going to pass.

Now say five Hail Mary's, ten Our Fathers, and a rosary while you meditate on the heinousness of triple-posting.

Hail Mary, full of Grace
her fleece as white as snow.
And everywhere that Mary went,
the Pope was sure to go.

...wait, that doesn't sound right.

Quite a few popes knew sluts.Pope Alexander VI didn't go anywhere unless there were mad sluts at that place.

Pope Innocent I?
He wasn't all that innocent.

The second one, though...

My favorite was X

[IMGS OFF]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

yeah explodable popes are the best kind. its a pretty well known fact in religious study.

Chubby for exploding pope.
No context required.

Chubby for bringing home the (Francis) Bacon.

Some bacon to Munch on

[IMGS OFF]

i would eat that bacon sky

Excuse me, it's a bacon sky:

[IMGS OFF]

Eeeew! gournal wants to eat a probable symbolic reference to Edvard Munch's mother's fatal brain haemorrhage!
With eggs!

Siiiiiiick!

Edvard Munch's mother's eggs?

I would eat my own problems if I could, but I guess I will settle for eating Edvard Munch's problems instead. At least they are bacon flavored.

Don't forget them eggs. Mmmmmm...

Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle managed to turn this painting into a sketch. In the comedic sense, obviously.

speaking of odd artwork..

Of course, if one was the Pope in the time of Alexander VI, and one was going to a place, that place would invariably have mad sluts if one desired them to be there.

I'm all pro there not being Korean magical realism anymore. I'm still happy every time a strip comes out that isn't that. But this is just... Onstad, you can do better. Nothing about this is real.

what's the word I'm looking for... it's kind of a filler strip. seems like it didn't take too long to write or draw. The piece that onstad produced in the paid assetbar yesterday, however... that could have taken a while to write. it was a nice pete blog entry sort of thing. it was crazy good. it reminded me of some of the kinda stuff that spiny norman would produce.

I'm surprised you of all trolls didn't post it to squander the $3 a month empire Onstad has going.

I don't think trolling Onstad would be cool. In fact I posted the comments from the paid assetbar here just so people could get a sense, via the comments, of what Onstad had created, and therefore a sense of what they were missing. I did this to encourage people to subscribe. Or maybe I did this to troll in a taunting way? Who knows. I'll ask my shrink tomorrow.

Good plan. Who knows; I might've misinterpreted you. Crazy world huh? Heh!

Oh no! I didn't mean to lame you!

I am sorry ;_;

Really don't be. He's probably done at least one dozen things in the past that would make him deserving of it from your perspective.

Evidently you've never applied for a driver's license in the state of Oregon.

No cop was ever born who isn%u2019t a sucker for a finely - executed hi - speed Controlled Drift all the way around one of those cloverleaf freeway interchanges.

Few people understand the psychology of dealing with a highway traffic cop. Your normal speeder will panic and immediately pull over to the side when he sees the big red light behind him . . . and then we will start apologizing, begging for mercy.

This is wrong. It arouses contempt in the cop - heart. The thing to do - when you%u2019re running along about a hundred or so and you suddenly find a red - flashing CHP - tracker on your trail - what you want to do then is accelerate. Never pull over with the first siren - howl. Mash it down and make the bastard chase you at speeds up to 120 all the way to the next exit. He will follow. But he won%u2019t know what to make of your blinker - signal that says you%u2019re about to turn right.

This is to let him know you%u2019re looking for a proper place to pull off and talk . .. keep signaling and hope for an off - ramp, one of those uphill side - loops with a sign saying %u201CMax Speed 25%u201D . . . and the trick, at this point, is to suddenly leave the freeway and take him into the chute at no less than a hundred miles an hour.

He will lock his brakes about the same time you lock yours, but it will take him a moment to realize that he%u2019s about to make a 180 - degree turn at this speed . .. but you will be ready for it, braced for the Gs and the fast heel - toe work, and with any luck at all you will have come to a complete stop off the road at the top of the turn and be standing beside your automobile by the time he catches up.

He will not be reasonable at first . . . but no matter. Let him calm down. He will want the first word. Let him have it. His brain will be in a turmoil: he may begin jabbering, or even pull his gun. Let him unwind; keep smiling. The idea is to show him that you were always in total control of yourself and your vehicle - while he lost control of everything.

%u2019t! %u2019t right up the arse!

I cannot answer any of these. Measurable swerves?

HINT: these aren't serious questions

Oh I know. But I still feel like there is an answer.

The answer to all of these is bribe the authorities. It's not an obvious option in the test, but that's how it's supposed to be.

Bribery will only arouse their contempt. The correct way is to turn in the page, blank. Look directly at them. Let them know that you are looking at them with purpose and intent. Cock your head. They will know . They will know that you know. You will receive the special license for people who are able to see through the test and realize the truth at the heart of the matter. It is valid for a lifetime.

D, B, A, A

It's a touch screen or something, you have to answer the questions or it'll never finish.

Christ I love Achewood, just thought you should all know. Driver's test paperwork is comic gold in Onstad's hands.

And it only took him six days!

I didn't want to say anything about that but you're correct.

you think he spent all six days on this?

I mean, just the whales would have taken me at least a couple of months...

(I was going to say something about looking after a baby, but then I noticed the precise length of the interval)

This had me laughing from panel three till the end. I haven't laughed that long at Achewood in a good year or so. Well fucking done, Onstad. Well bloody fucking done. The ones with the radio volume, signaling with a series of measured swerves, blockading and the trunk one were Extra Doozies.

That is strange. This strip didn't tickle my funny bone at all. But, you know, like different hoes for different bros, there's different strips for different... dudes.

That's fine, different strokes for different blokes, but holy wow, I was just laughing and still am, rereading it. Just imagining Ray in a Honda Civic (oddly enough, not the Escalade) slamming on the brakes from 120mph and popping the trunk...oh god.

Or whatever, mixed them up, but you know.

I don't think it's so much a 'to each their own' thing as maybe nice-on-water is defective?

I disagree. This strip was, to my mind, excellent. I don't mind long story arcs every so often, but most of my favourite strips are pretty much one offs and I welcome a return to that format.

You might be on to someth-th-th-thing there.

Some of my new neighbors appear to have an Escalade. It does not actually fit into the garage. It was like watching Rocco trying to butt-fuck an eight year-old.

Some of my best friends are new neighbors with Escalades. Not funuunotgoodncoment

Dips.

I laughed so hard, I broke three ribs

Oh yeah? Well I laughed so hard I

that's right. They were three of your ribs.

I laughed so hard that my girlfriend asked me what was funny.

I laughed so hard before stopping because I have no girlfriend, and possibly never will if I continue to regard assetbarbarism as valid social contact and my chubby count as a sign of genuine good will from my fellow human beings.

Shelbydavis I will share this traffic court story with you. Last summer I got caught in a revenue-speedtrap doing what is called 'prevailing' on the Interstate- 74 in a 60-mph zone. I was pissed about this and thought about going before the judge with video-cam evidence of how folks zip along there much faster, etc.
But I didn't. I went before the judge and took the option to do online traffic school.(it still costs close to the same as the ticket. The judge commended my wisdom) whatever.

The point is not that, it is this- in municipal court, there are all kinds of the ladies, usually of the younger variety (iow, your age, not mine) Oftentimes, they are scared to be there, and misery loves company. Just someone to chat with ( quietly because this judge threw a few folks out for yakking), you get the drift?
There's a young guy behind me; I and this tall, hot shiksa next to him hear the story of his short life as he's hitting on her, and she's flirting right back.
It's the anxiety flirt, but it still counts. Oh yeah.

He's out of the Navy, assault trying to break up a fight, let off by the cop, runs into the same cop later in dubious situation, etc.etc.

She gets called before the judge and I turn around and sign to him "did you get her phone #?"
None of my business, but you know- she'd been chatting him up too.
He looked at me helpless, blank, because he didn't. For all his bravado with brawls and the jobs he'd had, he was too scared to, or didn't think to- whatever the reason.
And she waved and smiled at him as she walked out of the courtroom and his life.

Municipal Court, shelbydavis- that's where you'll find some good girls in some bad scenarios. How you get there and what you do when you get there is your business.

Serendipity is a strange bedfellow. Smaller scenario: me and my friend decided to read for a class somewhere quiet on campus nearby our next class, so we chose the "student corner" by the foreign language dept.'s offices. In walks Cute Girl #1 from that journalism class I dropped two days into the semester. First time I've seen her since. I drop my book and chat her up a bit, get her name, and as she leaves, I realize I didn't give or get any valid info ie: number, party invitation for my house that weekend, etc. So be dang careful, is what I guess I'm saying.

[IMGS OFF]

What a queer* resemblance.


* Homosexual

There was a comic book artist who based pretty much all of his drawings from porn magazines. You could just compare most of his cover art from a centerfold or something, and they would match.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Land

It's cool, it's not like porn actresses need money for their work.

That would imply that they were human rather than elaborate dolls filled with sawdust and tears.

As much as the tears are a turn on, the smell of sawdust really gets me going. Must be the olfactory memory of sawing prostitutes in half at the old butcher shop.

is that a microphone?

No, he is just happy to see you.

Either way you're going to be approaching it with your lips--does it really matter?

Blind crime-fighting?
It's a kind of magic.

I think it is safe to say that Ray will not be there around three.

The numbering of the questions indicates that the testing machine is taking serious liberties with Arabic numerals. Or the programming allows a question to be skipped temporarily, but that would be FAR too functional.

I remember the computer administered portion of my driving test being totally easy, it mostly just asked whether or not it was okay to be on drugs in a car, the answer invariably being no

the pope doesnt even know his own reflection. that muh'fucka is old.

on my drivers exam, i had to know the penalty for an illegal immigrant falsifying their driver's license. bear in mind that i had to provide six points of ID to prove i'm not an illegal alien. who would that knowledge be of any use to me?

Question 30 is why I still have only my learner's permit.

I still do not know what the correct answer is.

As an NYC resident, in recent years I have logged more driving time on the various iterations of Need for Speed than on actual roads. As a result, my response to all questions on this test would probably be 1) floor it 2) use some nitro after coming out of the turn 3) push the cop car into wall just before entering the tunnel.

When Public Animals and Public Wine meet, a drunken petting zoo ensues.

Heh heh, you said "drunken petting."

Complaining on an internet forum is like rearranging dreck hairs on the Titanic.

It is a main flaw of the internet.

That aside, this strip merits either a 3 or 4, and I am not entirely sure which.

Trolling the Internet is like rearranging Icebergs around the Titanic.

Or lowering haystacks off the boat deck of the Lusitania.

I can barely distinguish between blowing my load and blowing chunks across your back. You may not remember.

Ralph Ellison?

yeah. Disney should do a cartoon film based on that book.

I am glad that someone else on Assetbar dislikes Pixar.

Pixar is so early '00s.

I hate you, but that was a good one. Chubby.

Being a loser is a state of mind. You can complain all you want about the circumstances of your life, but complaints won't change anything. You can attempt to change, but right now the economy and general status of the US is heavily against you.

Best thing to do is to, first and foremost, remember again and again all you have to be grateful for. Not everyone has parents to live with. Then try to find something to do to GIVE! You live with your parents, good, you don't have to worry about being homeless. Now go volunteer somewhere. Try to help somebody else. You'd be amazed at the results that will eventually proceed.

Ew. You said between girlfriends like someone might say that they're between jobs.

Any guesses to what it'll say if you peel away the "Made in Taiwan" sticker on the back of this publicly-owned computer terminal?

Tssk.

Genuine Pentium inside.

This is basically the Washington State driver's test. Hell yeah I'm bitter.

I myself have taken that very test.

The only question I got wrong on my written driving test involved a situation that could only occur if you had already done something illegal . So I don't feel too bad about not knowing exactly what to do.

You have just backed out of a driveway when you feel a firm bump under your wheels and hear a brief, loud cry. A ball rolls into the street. Just cresting the horizon a police car is approaching from the west. Do you:

A) Go check your undercarriage and, if necessary, flag down the officer and see if he can assist you.

B) Stand nonchalantly behind the car as if you are removing something from the trunk in order to obscure the view.

C) Quickly go inside and ask your girlfriend to come out and rev the engine because you think you heard the car making that expensive noise again.

D) Blame Jews.

E) Other (Please detail in the space provided)

E) Back up to make f*cking damn sure. That'll teach them. This will also help to hide the roadkill dying brat evidence.

One thing I have learned is that, whenever you move to a new state and have to take its driver's license test, you should first get the state's pre-test handbook and memorize anything in it that seems trivial. Invariably, the test will consist of 50% common sense and 50% state-specific regulatory minutiae.

The worst part is, though, I was born in Washington and lived there for nineteen years. My home state was all THANK YOU RESIDENT PLEASE DRIVE THROUGH

I guess that was a really hard question that he had to go back to.

We learn in this strip that Ray is probably about 26. I bet he was given a car on his 16th birthday.

No, not really. That would mean it wasn't a "decade-plus". I'd say that Ray is most likely to be approximately Onstad's age as far as it ever matters. Thus, I'd say he's probably in his early 30s.

wasn't there a gravestone in that series of days where he drew everyone aging except philippe? did it have a date on it? my ohnorobot-fu is weak.

Yeah I thought ray and beef were both born in '75. From that one where Beef dreams right before his wedding.

I made sure not to drink any alcohol three hours prior to knowing about the content of this strip that would be relevant to my drinking or not drinking holy hell did I just explain the joke it's too late now.

Assetbaristas, I am sorry that I am an idiot and that I make lame jokes. Also, I am a jerk sometimes.

Newsflash to tragi-cone: everyone here is idiot and make the lame joke also are jerk sometimes.


You are only one sorry about this. How come? You want to be better than us, huh?

nah man. Its just that if you look at my chubby to lame ratio, its pretty bad for a generally positive bunch like we Assetbarians tend to be.

Dude, you said you wouldn't tell anyone! I thought it actually meant something.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Dogg, you know Belgand ain't believe in cameras.

This is actually entirely correct. I am hella down on taking pictures or video for personal reasons.

I am also, once again, slightly confused as to how another incident has occurred that intersects GWG and my sex life.

I was hoping you wouldn't notice. Now I'm just starting to feel disturbing.

We all noticed.

If the condom don't fit, you must acquit.

I keep asking, but they don't seem to make them in smaller sizes. When I said I'd even take a child size condom they just glared at me and stalked away.

we got the same problem belgand.

The correct answer to question 30 is: e) Accelerate sharply and swerve towards the blind man, so as to determine whether or not he is Daredevil.

If the man nimbly somersaults over your car while fighting ninjas, he is probably Daredevil.

so I took a few minutes to log into some of the accounts I have created over the past few weeks, and ignore assetbar_admin, in the hopes of forcing him onto the global ignore list. well anyway, turns out I have created more accounts that I realized. There were dozens! Every page of the list of members had several! so anyway, it didn't work. I guess none of my accounts has any clout when it comes to the global ignore heuristics. this video game sucks.

Well, at least posting still works. Rating, chubbing and laming don't.

Oh, and "Ignore User" also doesn't work for me.

Yeah, all that shit is fucked for me, too.

i'll bet if you delete the cookie from assetbar and then log back in, it will all start working again. one way to test this theory is to start a private browsing session, something that the newest versions of firefox and IE let you do. when i na private browsing session, none of your existing cookies are used. This will force a fresh cookie to download from assetbar when you log in.

Because when you're old and infirm and have gross, milky eyes, you really want to think back and say, "Yeah, I trolled a lot of web comic discussion boards. THOSE were the glory days."

yes and no. To some extent I have no life, and to some extent, I'm just vegging out and would be watching seinfeld if I wasn't trolling. Are we not entitled to a little down time, a little putting the mind on hold? Well truthfully, it is a pretty sad existence when you put your mind on hold every day for a few minutes or more... why put your mind on hold at all? why veg out at all? Hey I'm not the only one, however... While I choose to go against the grain and be a troll much of the time, many people who contribute positively don't really have much of a life either, or if they do, then assetbar is their 'mind on hold' time. I think some people have to some extent formed meaningful relationships. To wit, these two:
[IMGS OFF] I have no idea how long that lasted, but anyway, whatever, it proves the point that yes some people do find meaning here. But many people don't. And even those that do, don't some or even much of the time. But still. For mindless downtime, you can't beat this place. You never know what will turn up, what may inspire you, or cause you to laugh out loud. Yeah the place has gone downhill since it's inception, but hey, whatever. We'll all move on at some point and find something better. https://midconet.net/achewoodtest/killers-read_my_mind.mid

word dogg. well said. chuppy 4 speak ur mind bro

Augh no Tekende Bixschmix what has he done.

Bixschmix -- Good name for a lezzie bar.

Well the first bar, things were alright
But in this bar, things were Friday night
In the first bar, things were just alright
This bar, things were Friday night
O O Oh

But do all the intricate things you do here really feel like "mindless downtime?" I really don't know what's entailed in all of those bizarre undertakings of yours, but it seems like a lot of work to me. And for what? Just to be hated by a hundred strangers? What does that do for you? I'm seriously curious. I've given you some thought (and if that means you've "won" or whatever, then so be it) and I want to know what's in it for you. You seem like a reasonably intelligent person. Surely fucking shit up isn't the only way for you to get noticed. I think it's pretty lazy, actually.

As to whether or not this place is a waste of life, of course it is to some extent. But a lot of good things are. I'd hate to imagine a life devoid of wasted time. I mean, I'd probably be richer and physically healthier and all that if I aggressively seized every waking moment of my time, but I'm sure I'd also be crazy and/or miserable, as well. Not worth it as far as I'm concerned. I have my worthwhile social and artistic activities and then I have things like this which fill in the blanks. It's very useful for that.

I'm not sure exactly what real meaning I can take away from this place. The only notable effects it's had on my life in the three or so years that I've been coming here regularly to semi-regularly is that I've been able to somewhat enjoyably pass the hours at a somewhat bland job (I rarely do this at home unless I'm drunk and/or high and there's literally nothing else fun to do) and that I get amusing facebook status updates from about fifteen people whom I don't actually know. And now that I think about it, I think it has helped me with my writing a little. Not that I've written anything great here or elsewhere, but it's like doing crossword puzzles when you're old in order to stave off senility. I flex the writing muscle and it doesn't die. That's good. Is this the best place in which to do it? I don't fucking know. I do know that I'm never going to write a great novel or anything, so I think it's as good a venue as any.

u not gon right novel wit dat aditute

Chuppied for telling the cold, hard truth.

I disagree with that sentiment. I think that one's brain can learn many different approaches to how it manages it's attention and focus. At any given time, our current approach is only one of those which is possible. Some different approaches might not be healthy, but I'm sure that some would be healthy and sustainable and balanced.

Well that's cool that you've given me some thought. Yes there is this school of thought that goes "don't feed the trolls" The premise of this theory is that any attention (positive or negative) paid to the disruptive behavior of the troll reinforces the negative behavior of the troll. This is classic behavior theory. To some extent it's a valid premise and to some extent it does apply to me as it does apply to anyone, but, mostly, I am in my own world. I seem to have Asperger Syndrome, and/or ADHD. When it comes to forming social relationships and picking up on social cues, most people do this stuff more efficiently than I do. I simply tend to be more interested in solving puzzles like how to hack assetbar or in interactions with people which are meta, recursive, or which rely on those aspects of interaction which aren't so much tied to having a social relationship with the particular person you're having the interaction with. Practical jokes, humor, and pushing buttons fall in this category. In interactions with friends over the phone and in person, I gravitate more towards asocial themes and humor, whereas I suppose the average person might expend more time than I do thinking about and maintaining and developing the social aspects of the relationship. I'm on one end of a spectrum, and on the other end of the spectrum are people who are obsessed with their social standing, with what their friends think about them. Personally, I have a lot of difficulty even recognizing new people, sometimes even if I've met them several times before.

Being hated by strangers for hacking assetbar validates my puzzle solving, so I enjoy that. Being hated for my sense of humor is cool too, because again, it validates the work I put into my humor. Some of my humor is lazy, but the more you get to know me, (which isn't that much possible on assetbar,) the more my humor adapts to you and sets you up to take you down, find what for you are your funny buttons and your absurd buttons... I am very patient and always calculating, so sooner or later I will be able to steer the conversation in a way that lets me do my thing, slip in a dead-pan, whatever...

But when people vehemently hate me, eh, that's kinda boring, maybe those are just boring people. I am not someone who seeks to be a neutral hue that will not clash with anyone's personality or world view, so yeah, some people hate my sense of humor, some people are uncomfortable around me. Oh well. That doesn't bother me. In real life, hanging out with people in person, most people get along with me fine, and some people love me, and only maybe 10% max hate me... don't get me wrong, a great many people think I'm very strange, but they still get along with me and find me kinda fascinating or quirky or endearing or some such.

But in this environment on assetbar, eh, I don't really form social connections with people, as I lack that sort of intuition... I'll put it to you this way... if you compare assetbar to real life, the possibilities for self-expression and for understanding other people in written form on assetbar are far limited as compared to the full range or bandwidth of expression that is possible face-to-face... well.. maybe the full amount of expression and social communication that you, the normal person, are able to achieve on assetbar, is what I am able to achieve in person face-to-face... so where does that leave me on assetbar? So I think because I don't connect with people socially on assetbar, they don't have any sort of context for my humor, and it seems just dumb and annoying and in various ways offensive to them. Assetbar is a social environment. Most regular posters on here have various social concepts of who the other posters are, and have various relationships with each other. Personally, I think it's somewhat lacking in imagination how people will rely on their social contemporaries to tell them what they think about someone... and you see that to a significant degree on assetbar -- you see people form a consensus more for the sake of contributing to the formation of a consensus than for the sake of forming an opinion one way or the other... It's like everyone on here are fucking snake in the grass Jews or something. I sort of have a visceral intuition that tells me to resist such group-think, because that's how holocausts happen, and such. So by doing my thing, I'm taking a stand for freedom, bitches! You could never know what it's like Your blood like winter freezes just like ice And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use And did you think this fool could never win Well look at me, I'm coming back again I got a taste of love in a simple way And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah Once I never could hope to win You starting down the road leaving me again The threats you made were meant to cut me down And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now

Fived for validates my puzzle solving, so nanny-nanny boo-boo.

More strips, more often, [b]BUY MY STUFF

Despite your asset bar failure, I'm echoing your sentiment. More strips more often my fucking ass.

oh shut teh fuck up already. hes got shit he doin he got alot of plates spinnin an its jus him an his wife cut teh man sum fuckin slack you stupid asshole

Its been another six days since captain no-show graced us with a hastily drawn comic. Still happy gladi?

the last comic was posted on 12.11.2009 and has 1,564 views. Of course, you'd have to actually be supporting Onstad with a premium fan flow subscription to know that. It's $3 a month. highway robbery, I know.

Holy tap dancing maggots! The last comic is ONE WHOLE DAY NEWER than the last one? And wowee gumballs, 1500 whole views, compared to the 200,000 on this specific strip? Guess which one is getting more traffic.

Ditch the subscription bullshit. Sell teeshirts and update more than 4 times a month.

Also, fwiw, if I was paying three dollars a month, I STILL wouldn't be happy with the last update being 4 days ago. So that would be robbery, highway or otherwise.

fine. I challenge you to fight over this. I live in the Chicago area. Where do you live? Let's see if we can meet up. I'm going to bury you!

THE TROLL IS TALKING TO HIMSELF AND ITS TURNING VIOLENT

by the way onstad has posted something on average every 2.6 days this month, and last month it was an average of something posted every 1.6 days. And that's not counting anything that might have been posted in the blogs, that's just entries on assetbar. So I mean, if you want more content more frequently, maybe you should shell out $3. That's 10 cents a day...

In Oz, for less than 10c a day, we get 3 tv channels, 9 (at last count)radio channels, mostly pod-cast, half a dozen symphony orchestras and other bits & pieces. It's not voluntary , of course.

you're required to listen and watch? are you allowed to listen and watch simultaneously?

Normally you only have to watch or listen to one at a time, but if you're late with your 10c they channel everything into your house simultaneously until you pay.

"Honey, why is the entire Sydney Opera House repertory company in our shower?"

What, you can't Handel Water Music .

They're making the room a lot messiah

"still happy gladi?" lol u say dat lik eery1 is teh same kinda son of a bitch u r. o course m still haps cuz ima read his stuff when hes finished wit it not some 'rushed/hurried-to-please-teh-greedy-fans-strips' to plz ignorant fans like lucidz who have never created anything themselves in they life so hav no FUCKING CLUE wat teh creative process is lik so they RUN THEY FUCKING MOUFS as if onstad can jus muse it up fasteren he is wen it doesnt take a genuis 2 no he aint holdin back he is postin when he done n movin on to teh next so ima jus b patient n hab respect n enjoy is shit when he gets to it and not demand crap eery day o teh weak like a fuckin bitch

It's funny because you see genuine opinions here but the guy's like "Wait, I'm still glad."

He's tired of weeping, he's tired of moaning, he's tired of crying for you
He's so Glad
He's so Glad
He's Glad
He's Glad
He's Glad.

Vchub either because I'm so friendly or this comic has been up for a week.

I agree with Ali G! Patience is a virtue! Exclamation nation!

At least he's able to consistently able to update the headline with the deadlines for ordering his shit. Glad to know he hasn't forgotten how to use the computer.

You ain't got cause to moan. It's FREE. If Onstad throws you a bone, he doesn't want to know if it tastes good or not. You're lucky he doesn't cut your f*cking jacobs off.

I bought the first round of Achewood books, the white cover ones without any extras. I have purchased several shirts, I've purchased the cookbook, I purchased the first round of 'zines way back when, I've purchased the pins, I bought the greeting cards. I supported Onstad, I've given him plenty of my money (those old books were not fucking cheap). Is it too much to ask that, now that he's raking in cash on this, he at least give us two strips per week which aren't long rambling text printouts (I'm looking at you, North Korean arc)? Look back at even 2007, there were three, sometimes even more, strips per week. Shorter, yes, but just as good. I don't understand why I should be grateful that Onstad hasn't learned the lesson from the toilet at the airport. If you're not really going to make more strips more often, DON'T PROMISE IT. If you promise a strip on Monday and you know you won't make it, DON'T PROMISE A DEADLINE.

toilet at the airport? You lost me there.

anyway. you are saying:

Onstad is making lots of money,

therefore

Onstad should give us more strips.

You're also saying that Onstad promised to give us more strips, but in actuality, he didn't. He said he was going to try it. Well... maybe he tried it and it didn't work?

It would be helpful to your argument if you could quantify how much money Onstad is making. What exactly is the ratio of income to strips per week?


There was the promise of a blowjob in an airport bathroom. It did not end particularly well and a lesson was learned by all. Sadly, the damage was irreversible.

Although Onstad has not shown a good ability to make his self-imposed deadlines or, at least, to estimate reliably, one would think that he would be aware that he is likely to be very busy around the holidays as he so often is and try not to commit to more strips, even if they are shorter.

oh I see... Then apparently jorgemacd, while familiar with the airport bathroom rituals of our senators, is not familiar with some of our other cultural traditions...

So, my jorgemacd account isn't allowed to make comments any more, apparently. That's fun.

Anyways

Am I seriously the only person who remembers the lesson of the airport toilet? I knew Onstad forgot but jeez people:

I'm not asking for MORE strips, I'm asking for an end to FEWER strips. I used to get more strips in the past, I get fewer now, I'm asking for that to stop.

Honestly, at this point, if he just stopped promising deadlines, or promising more content, that'd be fine too, because that way I won't be disappointed anymore.

okay, I disagree with what you say, but I will fight for your right to say it.

You may use the above link to automatically read multiple strips, thereby allowing your new assetbar account to make as many comments as you like. (New assetbar accounts aren't allowed to make multiple comments until they've "read" an ungodly number of strips.)

As a side note, it sure is nice how assetbar leads you to believe you are allowed to make comments, and then dumps your comment after you type it. It's too bad that there are pieces of shit in this world who write software like manifests no respect for the efforts of other people. This means you, assetbar folks. I'm not sure what Onstad sees in them, but whatever.

Oh, fabulous, thank you. I've read and reread the entirety of the comic several times, just never through Assetbar.

The problem with your reasoning is that he devotes more time to the paying customers because that's gonna keep a roof over his head and put his kids through school! That's why the free strips are fewer and far between. Exactly the same thing happened with Frank Cho and Liberty Meadows, Once Marvel came a'knocking with the bucks to draw The Avengers and Spiderman, he stopped doing the newspaper strips.

Thank fucking god. Liberty Meadows was horrible. And creepy. I don't want to read a third-rate Bloom County rip off where the guy just uses it as a weak excuse to draw some female character he can suck his own cock to.

Frank was hot

The last line of your tirade sounds like you're actually jealous you can't do those two things...

It's that last vertebrae that's in the way. Once that goes, all dating is history..!

Four sentences hardly equals a tirade. Anyways, the self cock-sucking comment was more figurative. We all know Chinese guys got small ones , right?

Well I'll take your word for you knowing Chinese blokes have small dicks, what that has to do with a Korean comic book artist I've no idea.
As for the self-cock sucking thing, hey lighten up starchy-draws, every guy's thought about it at one point or another (Bill Hicks summed it up in one of his stand-up routines just perfectly), I just think I left the yoga classes a little bit too late...

I have never understood that. I have absolutely no desire to have any cock in my mouth. I mean, is it assumed that dudes are cool with just blowing a load into their own mouth? That just seems... odd.

Frank Cho is a dude who can draw some tits .

at what size does a clit become a penis?

anything smaller than a little toe is a clit, anything larger and you're in she-male territory?

maybe some day they'll be able to splice nerves and wire in extensions and such. Maybe then a popular mod would be to get your belly button wired into your clit nerves.

Begland telling it like it is. Have lots of other guys really thought of sucking their own cock? What would make you want to think about that? The only thought I've had about sucking my own cock was "I have no interest in doing that ever" .

But I bet Frank Cho has thought about it.

suck ur dick own dick? y not lol wats wrogn wit yall u is freaks u not go down on urself

u act lik u dun deserve or somthin

my ex gf said she liked to watch her pussy in the mirror as she would insert her hello kitty dildo in and out. I ah... I'm not sure if this is common among all females, or if it's only restricted to females who seek out hello kitty dildos.

Hello kitty... goodbye kitty... hello kitty... goodbye kitty... hello kitty... goodbye kitty... hello kitty... goodbye kitty... hello kitty, goodbye kitty, hello kitty, goodbye kitty, hello kitty goodbye kitty hello kitty goodbye kitty hellokittygoodbyekittyhellokittygoodbyekittyHELLOKITTYGOODBYEKITTY HELLOKITTYGOODBYEKITTY!!!

hello... kitty...

hello...funny - chubbied

FAIL

The Hello Kitty vibrator is not designed to be an insertable model. Do your research first.

"Begland telling it like it is."
You sure you haven't thought about sucking someones dick...!?!

troy_convers - I'm sorry I upset you by stating that a cartoonist you like is a desperate pervert loser, even though it's true. If you still feel the need to defend him, please come up with some decent comebacks.

Also, get over it.

I don't understand the aversion to the idea of fellating yourself. I jack off, but that doesn't mean I like to touch dicks. If there was a way to blow myself without throwing my back out, I'd do that, too. It's just a means to an end. It's all about gettin' that nut.

And Belgand, if you're reading this, just because you're sucking your own dick that doesn't mean you have to cum in your own mouth. Why would you even go there?

Pulling out before you're done seems like kind of a let down.

I've never fully understood the appeal of facials for this reason. I mean, instead of finishing properly you'd rather weakly wank one out? I mean, I can see the technical reason in porn, but outside of that it seems like you're giving up more than you're getting in return.

Perhaps the better question is why it matters so much to you to not cum in your mouth? I mean, you're cool with everything else so why stop there?

In the end though do whatever makes you happy.

Well, I've already talked about this fairly extensively somewhere else on the 'bar, so I won't go into great detail here. In brief, though I have been curious, I could never get myself to eat my own cum. Because I, myself, would not eat it, I would also not have anyone else do so unless it was specifically requested. In my experience, no one really wants that.

I pull out before I'm done while I'm rawdoggin' it because I don't want a kid. It's that simple. Anything that cuts down the chances, homey.

You ain't gotta do a facial per se, you know. Shoot it on the chest, pelvis, ass, whatever. It doesn't have to be even as deregatory as it sounds. Not all girls want you to bust a nut in them, you know. Some girls are down with the spillage instead of morning-after pill-age.

I wouldn't want to suck my own dick because C'MON it's kind of weird, man. There are certain things that are better when someone else is doing it to you and not you to yourself. Like a tracheotomy.

I'm not interested in tasting the biz end of my jizz end. Maybe some dudes are into that. Why? I don't know. Beats me why most guys suck.

Daaaaamn I just got back from the bar. Oh hell yes it's my assetboys robo and biggles. what's up. rowboat are you still kicking it and belgand are you still complaining about grass being to0 sharp on your barefeet. Don't answer that.

It's not effective though. You can get someone pregnant from pre-cum alone. So unless you're certain that they're both clean and safe you shouldn't be going in bare-headed anyway.

How 'bout condom plus pill plus pull out? That's how I (we) rock it. We treat that shit like toxic waste. I've been regaled with too many horror stories about how many layers I busted through and all the ways in which that ruined my parents' lives. I take no chances.

Unless I'm drunk, in which case who even knows what happens.

Damn. That's serious. Rowboat is all Ingmar Bergman, sealing that shit seven times.

Anyways, yeah, Belgand, we all know that - I had good sex education classes. But pulling out is still better than not.

What are you doing here? Someone obviously made a mistake on your enrollment.
This is the Gifted and Talented webcomic forum. You don't belong here. Get OUT!

At least Julia provides primo J/O material and, in The Way to Cook, instructions on how she recommends you tug off to her videos.

"Chris, we need the funny..."

I got a GoF shirt and that "can't you...see!" comic in color print but somethin about achewood seems to have lost me. was there...tooo much character development? I think I'd be totally down for a new character. A new permanent fixture character.

poochie joke in 5...4...3...2...1

feh i repent my achewood baulking ways. party of my rage came from the fact that i finally went for that "subscriber only" content on the front page after holding off for 5 years and was sorely dissapointed. that boner comic you saw for free was the best one. onstad just trolled me so bad. but the nate small book was amazing

It's sad the the boner comic is no longer linked to on the front page (as far as I can tell). I really needed to send that picture to somebody a few days ago, to emphasize the fact that rollerskatin' is all about diggin' boners.

Nah, here's the deal: the subscriber content is not about a comic, but instead about his writing. Really, for me, if he never made another strip, but just wrote
Achewood novels, that would be fine. I laughed longer and harder at some of the written pieces in the sub. cont. than I ever did at even the funniest of the comics.

So, if, instead of writing publishing and selling novels, he wants to parcel it out in the sub. cont., cool by me.

As long as there is no Achewood Christmas specials on NBC, :eek: it's all good!

Well, looks like this Assetbar thing is FUBAR. New account has all the same old problems -- all it allows is posts and replies. And don't tell me to erase cookies or any of that lame shit, someone fucked this place up and I'm leavin' 'til they fix it.

bye asshole i totally dont know/give a shit who u r but is a complaining motherfucker an u gotta go

Why glad that's poor old pogo. Why don't you take his wallet too?

fuck him the old cunt think he cool hangin wit cools screw dat waste of shit

that is some straight hate damn
