Note the stew metaphor which pervades this arc. What does this symbolize? Compare to your other readings this semester (Moby Dick, The Dream of the Red Chamber): How can this metaphor be applied to them?

No... but Garfield is the only comic to dedicate an entire week exclusively to "SPLUT." Whenever I use that onomatopoeia in my comic, I think of it as a Garfield reference.

The difference in severity between Garfield's "splut" and the "splut" linked above cannot possibly be overstated

What? They're pretty similar. One's a pie hitting a fat cat in the face, the other's an internet-ready stabbing machine with a faulty driver hitting a West-Virginia-bred serial killer cat in the face.

For a handy guide to the "spluts" of Achewood, see thatcrazycommie's post from 10/17/07 (as well as the strip from that day).

You know, sometimes I picture Roast Beef as speaking in the voice of Lorenzo Music. His voice just had that slow, sad quality to it. Unfortunately, it's already famous as the voice of Garfield, so that would make it awkward.

Showbiz gets "Michael", Roast Beef gets "Cassandra". A psychological point could probably be made about this.

I love how it's addressed to 'general delivery.' That is some subtle love & squalour.

So true. It is meaningful in a way I can't describe. He helps his brother even though his brother doesn't really deserve it.

unnecessary and terrible.
Oop, got to side with Asherdan on this one, seeing as he's mirroring a Stephen Fry line. Intentional quote or not, you can't argue with Fry.
