Revenge of the Nerds Part Achewood

EXACTLY what I thought of.

Putting a five year old on the drum is going to set some crazy time signatures.

Or they will just end up sounding lots like Sun-Ra.

Well here's a two year old that does pretty well for himself: https://music.todaysbigthing.com/2010/01/15

"Sonic soundscape"

is kind of redundant

bum rush the zoloft!

I guess the exact same six people who lamed your comment.

Disparaging the use of a stupid internet thing and then immediately using an emoticon is kind of lame, in my opinion.

Invisible lamers are still lame. I, for example am leaving you a friendly note to say I lamed you.

Leaving a friendly little note to describe why you lamed my friendly little note describing why I lamed zem? Not cool, dude.

I can't lame anything any more.
Would if I could.
Oh hell would I.
I hate most stuff.

No one asked you.

You say that as though it would make any difference .

For that matter no-one asked you either. But y'know, that isn't terribly informative either way.

Clearly the answer is to begin leaving messages consisting of nothing but "lame" beneath comments which warrant that reaction. As people are no longer able to lame comments, these "lame"s will be even more indelible than the well-integrated function they replace.

I am agreeing so hard my sack is quivering, ford

I'm agreeing with you so hard that my asshole is PUCKERING

I remember back when people could agree without disgusting things happening to their below-waists. it was a better time

Snide courtesy. Is...is that a...Thing?

Bonus points for Devo.

This and the Geordi LaForge visor made out of an air-conditioner filter.

and the 80s too-large suit jacket with rolled up sleeves paired with skinny black tie, surely?

No way, it is all about Teo's (I do not know how make the little e thingy) intense mohawk. Hardkore

it is better not to make with the accento. it ends in tears and HUGE cusses at assetbar.

Those Geordie-glasses were a genuine 80s style thang, long before TNG.
I am older than I admit.

This comic gets bonus points for synaesthetic effect: when I look at the last two panels, I hear cheesy rock music.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Seems to me like something Phillipe would come up with. No one else had time to argue with him.

Does anyone have any idea what Roast Beef's hat is made of?

Wire, duct tape, and red paper.

Awesome! I think I must make one now.

Oh man, mad chubbies for cockeyed link.

Dude, it's totally injecton-molded plastic .

Brilliant...

Fuckin' broken link to a former product page. New URL is here , and technically it's "vacu-form".

Last panel last panel last panel!!!

Yep, its still there alright.

philippe looks so happy.

Is that Teodor's sample Circus Penis Army helmet? Or just some crazy hair?

I think it's supposed to be a Mohawk. The question is, how did he grow it so quickly?

wig

Through sheer force of will.

Chubby for possible Dr. McNinja reference.

Beef has hella depression but that ain't no thing right now.

Lyle and Teodor switch places.

Now that I got that over with
I'll just play my imaginary guitar again

Elektronik. Supersonik.

Holy shit. I just started this band the other day. I started it with three guys who never play music with each other, playing instruments we don't actually know how to play. I'm playing keyboard. I get to be Beef.

So...how did it turn out?

Roast beef has the Radio Shack Concertmate MG-1.

I imagine Roast Beef's voice sounding a lot like Jonathan Richman during this introduction. In fact, when you think about it, he pretty much is the Jonathan Richman of anthropomorphic cats.

Beef thinks Don Johnson is the same as New Wave.

devo hat is priceless

This strip is Instant 5/5 ... Didn't even have to think about it.
I usually only give fives to Philippe Suffering strips... but this just totes too much win.

I love that, even though Pat's such a dick, they're all still his friends and willing to rescue him when he's making a horrific fool of himself in front of a large audience.

"We decided on this name in less than three minutes America" made this for me.

That and Phillipe being on drums, its achingly appropriate.

Phillipe has been wearing his Batman PJ's for something on the order of three or four days straight by this point.

I love how T has a Mohawk!

Billy/Phllipe should be on lead guitar


wut the f

best live act ever. well, maybe the tenmen.

Devo just sued McDonalds for using their trademark hat on a character named New Age Ned that came with happy meals. Watch out, Onstad.

this or the next strip will be the next strip i make with the purchasing of.

Hey, KG and me wrote this song 5 minutes ago. It's called "Master Exploder".

ACE OF SPADES!!!

a true rocker doesn't let a thing like depression get in the way of a good show EVER!

Oh man, I can't get over the beauty of this strip--
5 seconds it takes for the crew to mobilize into some sort of techno/punk band, the amazingness of Roast Beef's intro, and also Roast Beef's outfit. It just makes me chuckle.

Wait...Teodor and Lyle aren't "musical strangers!"

They are to each other.
