oh god, i hope philippe doesn't get to watch his ad.

Philippe doesn't "watch" anything. He EXPERIENCES it.

Usually there are at least two public internet terminals, so at least one "regular" can do some real research

[IMGS OFF]

We are not amused.

Yeah but ...

Jerk

hey y'all just wanted to let you know that i'm spending this saturday night watching episodes of "renegade" while dressed like reno raines

There is a 62% chance that you typed this naked

Renegade equals a 100% chance of having a sexy weekend.

why does lorenzo lummox look like a cracker, even though his last name is hispanic?

lummox means doofus bro n i dont speak spanish so teh word mus' be english

his actual name is lorenzo lamas . i call him lorenzo lummox because renegade was a fucking lame show.

do not fuck with me

do not be a bitch

chill out bros

Doc Manflesh is back? Awesome. As usual I don't really get the comment but I wait eagerly for each one, moreso than new strips.

yeah so maybe I am kind of teh same as philippe in this regard. other people are like "the panel with the immolation is so cool" and meanwhile I'm like, scrolling past it and trying not to look at it, it bugs me that much.

I feel that the joke is overshadowed by those images, I'm not saying you can't joke about things like that, The joke is funny, but those are some depressing images.

Philippe is ALLWAYS five...in that way...he shrugg things off like an oiled up otter.

Funniest Achewood in years.

Fuckings to laming retards, have not concept of CHAT HARD!

What the hell are you typing about?

I
DONT
KNOW

I'll chubby that. Cheers.

You can borrow my 3d mesh drawers if you don't have any clean ones.

As long as wrinkles are properly tessellated it will be fine.

Well, my z-axis is considerable and i like to leave something to the imagination. If polycount is your thing, zap em into a subdivision surface and you should be good to go.?


I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT DOUBLE ENTENDRE I AM MAKING ANYMORE

Agreed!

Really? The last few installments including this one have simply bored me to tears...

Tad needs to get his priorities straight

Get them straight? More like, get them bi, as the case may be. Who doesn't recognize Peter North. Come on! (Um..... don't spend too much time reading those last two words, given the context).

....and yes, my on the ball porn star recognition behooves me. It behooves me soundly.

More like "on the [i]balls[/]" amirite?

BBCODE!!

Your BBCODE is balls.

If you watch porn and don't know who Peter North is, you don't watch porn.

Well I only watch immolation porn and I recognized Thich Quang Duc right away.

Talk about your sausage sizzler!

YOU'RE FIRED!

Everyone stop talking forever!

He always seemed like the nicest possible male porn star. Never too nasty or at all violent. Always with a good-natured smile. Class act through and through. If I had to choose a porn star for a father or big brother, Peter North would be on the top of a very short list.

Sounds like you'd rather have Peter North behoove you. Soundly.

Peter North will totally hymen your ass.

According to the area code, Tad is visiting Papa, Hungary. Which makes sense.

Jesus. Panel nine. I am crying with laughter and my family are asking me what is wrong.

All knocking on the door with big scared eyes. Do they dare to push the door open?

Phillipe can knock smiley faces and speak hearts. I love this little boy.

This new guy.. Yojimbo? yeah, he creeps me the fuck out. Just look at panel 6... fucking creep

just look at your avatar.

hes the sort of guy that collects samurai swords from that bud k catalog.

On of my main rules in life is never to have more than two non-kitchen knives in the house at any one time. Three knives in the house and you have a knife collection. Next thing you know your neighbour has been killed while you are on holiday: the news has a photo of you looking weird which they got off facebook. The headline is 'Police search for murdered girl's knife-collecting neighbour'. You don't want to be known as the man with the knife collection. That guy isn't going to get married any time soon.

according to that standard, i am just under the line. wait, does this count as a knife? if not, im going to buy another'n.

Leathermen are a different class of terrible life-defining accessory. It's a legitimate tool that could find use in a recent century, so you're not the wierdy beardy guy who looks at girls all funny on the bus. But on the other hand you paid extra for a set of pliers that don't work as good as normal pliers, and carry pliers around all day, so now you're that guy.

i dont carry it around. it collects dust in my bedroom.

Well alright then, but when one day you find yourself cryin' into your big felt cowboy hat because someone scuffed the paint on your year-old spotlessly clean pickup truck don't say you weren't warned that it would turn out this way.

DAMN YOU HUMANS AND YOUR FANCY TOOLS

Best watch yourself, man, I will judge you for your possessions .

i expected your judgements and have heretofore developed an immunity to them. do. your. worst.

Empty your pockets. Let's do this.

A Pokewalker, car keys that don't belong to me, purple lipstick tube, a wallet with the word "White" stickered on it, a teeny swiss-army knife, a black sharpie. Hit me with your best shot.

My jacket pockets currently contain the Book of Common Prayer, a 50cl bottle of Famous Grouse (half full), dog biscuits, baccy, rizlafilterlighter and a rolled up copy of the Economist. I often carry Moby Dick, a couple of pipes, and angostura bitters, but not today.

I have, uh, my wallet ... and my keys... and a pen ... And that's it, because I'm not a FUCKING FREAK.

I travel by public transport, so I rarely leave the house without some sort of reading material. I accept the BoCP is a little leftfield but it's just what I happen to be reading at the moment. Dog biscuits and baccy are fairly self explanatory, and I don't think I'm the first person in the world to take alcohol to a party. Anyway, fuck you. I'll carry what I damn well please.

You travel by public transport but read the Economist, and probably have to have it pointed out to you why that's funny. By contrast to Redmange, you can't wait to be forty, suburban, and embittered, and probably think of yourself as more sophisticated than guys who read the Wall Street Journal, because your spiteful neocon rag is cultured. Lose the pipe, it is an affectation befitting a fat man in a waistcoat with a plain-glass monocle on a chain. Otherwise you're okay, but perk up a little man, these are the best years of your life and Bolivia will probably do better if it ignores the IMF.

Sorry about the tone of my last post, I'd been on the red wine. But seriously, man, buy a rucksack.

i like how you tell people what to carry and then proceed to tell people to fuck off when they tell you what to carry

not liking our own medicine much, are we?

I didn't do that second thing, though.

I have, uh, my wallet... and my keys... and a pen... And that's it, because I'm not a FUCKING FREAK.

You're kind of dull but your pockets are in good shape.

I call mine Moby as well.

A Pokewalker, car keys that don't belong to me, purple lipstick tube, a wallet with the word "White" stickered on it, a teeny swiss-army knife, a black sharpie. Hit me with your best shot.

Whether or not "White" is in fact your name and how much distance is logged on the Pokewalker are the deciding factor between this being mainly ordinary pupal-adult chaos of junk or some kind of creepy pickup artist thing where you ransacked your room for fifteen minutes to present me with quirky shit. The car keys indicate that you know at least one person who both owns a car and trusts you not to rip off their stereo, the teeny swiss-army knife and brand-new child's toy that you are struggling with growing up and probably on your first or second job, some retail thing rather than career-track, but secure enough to expend your limited income on ephemera. Are the car keys... your parents'?

There is nothing in my pockets. Analyse THIS.

HOBO

White is from a Shaun White sticker I found somewhere. The wallet is, ugh, Metallica branded, and I needed something to cover it. Yes, yes, I know, I could just buy a new one, but it has sentimental value. I'm actually in College, though my career track of choice is a Radio Personality. The Pocket Knife is just attached to the keys, and yes, they are my parents. I happened to have them in my pocket at that moment because I had driven my mother to work. I have the Pokewalker because I love Pokemon. I don't have to explain myself. It gives me pleasure and I am not the sort of man who wishes to be seen as mature by giving up the things he enjoys.

radio personality?

Yeah, you know, person who chats on the radio. I'd say DJ but that's become part-in-parcel with skinny white guys who go to really lame parties and scratch up records that aren't worth the vinyl they are cut on.

radio personality?

You knock that right off

As long as you're cool with Pokemon-derived pleasure being the only kind you receive, carry on.

The joke is that women don't want to fuck adults who like Pokemon.

That is okay because I fuck other men

Oh. Well you're good to go, then.

An empty pack of Pall Mall Lights, a Bic lighter, a pay-as-you-go cell phone, a key ring which includes keys to an apartment in which I no longer live and to a car which I no longer own, a cheap leather wallet which once belonged to a Mexican and a WarTech pocket knife which after two years of ownership has still not been used to ventilate a motherfucker.

You can thank me later, a motherfucker.

a)
one camoflauge canvas tri-fold wallet that has 2 snaps. there is a black star embroidered on it and an empty grommet in the corner.

b) $3-5 in quarters and dollar coins.

c) my keys(house and p.o. box)

d) one black folding knife

You know exactly what is going to be said here. Sorry dude but camo patterned anything that does not actually need to be camouflaged pretty much seals the deal on that picture of your future I already painted, and postironic awareness is not going to save you. You own a tactiwallet. That "black folding knife" is a balisong too isn't it admit it .

knife is s&w.

How're the blades on those, anyway? Always seemed kinda pricy to me for a brand tie-in but I go through Gerbers way too fast.

are we talking my actual pockets or my WOW pockets?

no one talks about WOW in here OK? First rule of Achewood.

I've got an S&W tac-ops and it is NICE. (but it lives in a dresser drawer and I never use it) Still, I once left it in someone's (an Oregoneon's, so you know it rains) flower bed and they mailed it back to me 6-12 mos. later, and it's still dandy-fine.

I have a wallet, keys, a pocket screwdriver (2x Phillips 2x Robertson bits of the common sizes), a pair of black leather gloves, and some lint.

Do you get to screw very often?

No, but when I do it is very satisfying.

Quote:

Try the green beans. It takes me 30 minutes to get through a jar of that stuff.

Man you know that shit ain't good for nothing but throwing at the wall. It's mashed peaches or nothin' for me, dogg.

so far, so good. i only use it sparsely, though. i dont require a cutting tool very often, but i like to be prepared. i paid $7-10 for it. small enough to carry around, but big enough for most common cutting jobs.

this is the actual item

Nice and nasty, that knife.

A Pigma Micron pen, Driver's license, bank card, 2 dollars. A receipt from the neighborhood grocery store. Oh what's this? It seems I also have 11 knives and the neighbor (who has been missing for 3 months) in my pocket.

I would have my keys but they are sitting on my desk.

I've developed very rigid habits about what's in my pockets. Here are the rules:
Right-front pants pocket -- Car key and electronic door lock thing on rings with a Mobil Speedpass transponder (let's you buy gas by magic wand); change
Left-front -- House key on rings with storage lcoker key, the smallest Swiss Army knife, and a battlefield rosary, basically a metal ring with ten bumps and a cross around it; my cell
left rear -- wallet
right rear -- one of those Western snot rags you can also make into a gangbanger hat
shirt pocket -- small spiral notebook and pen (must be Bic Clic Stic medium or equivalent.
There can be no variation to this program or I twitch and moan.

in my pocket (either one) I frequently have the severed hand (with some modest amount of forearm stump) of a 5 yr old hermaphroditic child, embalmed with some kind of epoxy plasticization resin process. I don't know how it works exactly but anyway it's amazing. So I had this company in Hong Kong build some vibrators into it. I wanted the fingers to move -- even just a rudimentary grasping motion would have been awesome -- but they couldn't guarantee me it would even work yet they wanted an ungodly amount of money just to try. Don't worry, of course the child was dead already. My lawyer made sure we got the proper documentation, just to be safe. It took some doing, not least of which was waiting for a hermaphroditic child to die. (Finally we got like 5 of them in an orphanage in that big quake they had last year -- feast or famine, amirite!) I know I know what you're thinking -- why a hermphrodite? Well, I don't want to be thought of as a pedophile, nor do I want to think of myself as such, but the size of a child's hand is simply ideal for auto (quasi auto, as it were) stimulation. Don't get me wrong, I have a regular sized cock and all, bigger than regular sized if my ex gf's are to be believed, no, that's not the issue, it's merely a matter of the relative size of the hand and the cock -- the smaller the hand, the bigger the cock feels, relatively speaking. Hey, don't knock it till you've tried it. So as I say, not wanting to come off as a pedophile, I thought that the best thing to do was to go with a hermaphrodite. I'm not gay, so I wouldn't want a hand of a male child, and I don't want to be thought of as a pedophile, so I wouldn't want the hand of a female child either. So, logically, that leaves you with a hermaphroditic child. In case you're thinking that hey, the kid is dead anyway, right, so it wouldn't be pedophilia -- think again -- it would be something weird like necro-pedophilia... so... yeah.. best to play it safe with the hermaphrodite.

I did stop by and visit the grave site of the poor kid too, just so you know. I'm not a heartless bastard or anything. I'm planning a return trip in a few years. In the mean time, I'm taking photos of the hand wherever I go... in front of the Eifel Tower, the former Twin Towers site in New York, Chicago, etc. Kind of like in that movie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amelie with the garden gnome, only instead of a gnome, it's the hand. And I'm gonna leave the photos on the kid's grave site. It seems appropriate.

I hope you didn't type all that out with the expectation that I'd read it.

i suppose educated judgements require too much effort.

why won't you read it? Is there something I could do differently? The goal in the above piece is to troll. If you won't even read it, then you're not playing fair. You have to at least give me a chance.

Aren't you supposed to mutter a troll incantation at this point to make him read it?

I'm not some cheap hussy to be trolled by the first man to come along and write me a post. I need finesse, passion, I need a man who'll figure out what drives me wild and push those buttons again and again until I forget how to spell or form a sentence. One who'll keep me up all night stewing about stupid bullshit only to come back the next afternoon for more.Some might be content to just fool around, but me, I'm looking for commitment in a trolling relationship.

yeah well so much for the theory about the apple not falling far from the tree because YOUR MAMA.

carrying a hanky is WAY old-school. (im glad we found something better to do than keeping a snotty diseased piece of cloth in our pocketses)

Man I know people who use kleenexes and stuff them back in their pockets to reuse later. For all our technology we have not advanced one step.

we still have a long ways to go. glands that secret mucus, located in one's head? WTF is that all about. I can't wait until we have nanobots that can take over our biology and turn us into invincible robots.

Yes, but I rarely need to use it, and have four more in the ready.

No, they're fine.

Actually, there would probably be licensing kerfufflery with those images, too, if you think about it -- news images. Oh, or two news images and a single cover. Woah....or one news image and two covers! (I feel like I'm about to realize that some band used the Mother Theresa image for some album or something). I like panel six a lot. And ten, in which Téodor looks like he realized he overslept while he let fine victuals stand and spoil beneath the midday sun. Hmmm, I wonder if my accent will make it look like Tacodor. There are entirely too many buried references, this is ending up to be a totally obnoxious post. Sorry.

Yup, Onstad is already in trouble for stealing those images.

they're springing to the defense of the immolated monk, although probably not in the way he'd have preferred.

Really? I mean what is that monk or Mother Theresa gonna do about it?

Kick his ass?

Exactly what I'm worried about

Nothing, but there someone who owns the copyright, probably an international news or photo service, and they don't mess around.

The publicity could only help.

Are... is that... Peter North?

what news from peter north!

There be a fierce cold wind and significant shrinkage sire!

Has Peter North ever suffered from significant shrinkage? I doubt it.

Lucky fucker.

A torrential downpour of viscous precipitation, m'lord!

Well, I guess *technically* the corpse baby on the Dead Kennedys album cover is raising its hand, so it does want things to get better.

A comment left by silvereyes was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by possums, sarsbar, varnish, streever, exits2freeways)

i want to lame you. just know that

I got him for you.

"Accidentally" Tad?

I like Yojimbo, even though he's nakedly incompetent at video editing.

hey, as long as he's nakedly something, am i right?

no

... am i?

no

lol but if you think about it

no.

fin

but i might be right, is all. could be.

No

could-be rightness-wise... me?

(starts slow-clap)

still no

oh, the humanity!

...clap...

No

--clap--

No.

are you a parent or dog owner?

I am trying to avoid both, but women seem to have plans for me involving both.

you seem to have a patient and firm way with someone of a childs or dogs intellect and emotional maturity.

It would only be right for Yojimbo to fall on his sword at this point, except that would somehow also be filmed live into Philippe's feed from hell.


Yojimbo Snuff?

I think faces of death VII was actually mostly composed of people who were killing themselves because they had done such a crappy job of airing adverts.

Téodor's facility with reaction shots is underrated

Considering the plot of Yojimbo, how long is it before he starts working for Ray, undermining him from the inside (as he is doing for Philippe)

How long before Peter North starts undermining him from the inside?

With his reportedly large peter.

Nothing reported about it, good sir, we have photographic evidence.

Probably some Photoshop buggery. Let's have him do a naked line-up.

videoshop?

I'd say about four more minutes of dialogue.

In today's installment, Philippe accidentally makes a crust punk music video.

Hear nothing! See nothing! Say nothing! Yaaaaay!

Why is "L.I.V.E." written as an abbreviation?

Because it means " L ook, I 'm V ery E rotic."

Please don't do that again. I don't feel like I have a lot of outs.

Should I feel guilty for finding this funny?

Man I'm loving that Dead Kennedys album cover.

"let's heat up this economy!" [lonely polar bear cub on waning ice floe]

"Hungarian Party Toilet".

Come on, guys. You know it's going on the list.

Conversely, when I actually get around to forming that band and learning that instrument, I might actually just find a random Achewood strip and take the name from my favourite line.

Based on this idea, my band would be named Awful Group Sex.

I prefer the more upbeat Lord Spare Me From That Awful Group Sex . Help your fans see that they don't want what they're not having.

they have toilets in hungary?

Only at parties.

These chuckles are rough, and they are right up my alley.

ooh la la!

These [studded dildos] are rough, and they are right up my alley.

these [feline footballers] are rough, and they are right up my alley.

These [venereal chancres] are rough, and they are right up my [alley].

These [vans delivering frozen shrimp to the Chinese takeaway] are rough and they are right up my alley (and I can't get my car out to go to work).

These [black balls] are [holey], and are right up my alley.

These [dead bodies] are [decomposing], and they are [clogging] up my alley.

(and THEY are... hamscout . GOSH)

What does it MEAN?

DO you fink anybody would ever read back thru these comments. somebody jus dumpin' thousands o hours readin back through. do u fink some new comic viewer will jus b like "'i aint got shit to do these next 5 months. lets catch up on these here comments peeps left'" n do u fink when they get to my raps...
do u fink they will chuppy them?


I dropped my dick in a hungarian toilet janitor even tho i had a meating at 7.am!!! the next evening--but the janitor was-- DEAD D.E.A.D. D.E.A.D.

they will chubby your raps if they have even the simplest grasp of basic concepts.

That's asking a lot of this crowd.

if I ever am hospitalized long-term or frozen from the chest down I am so devoting my time to reading every assetbar comment so far

and you will all oblige me by not making any new ones while I do

I do this every day. It gives me a sensation like I'm traveling through time.

i too smoke weed everyday, Ryder P.

If these future readers are anything like me, they will initially use every lame they have on you and then a year or so later will wake one morning to the realization that you are perhaps the most chubby-worthy commenter this place has ever known. They'll feel foolish for not having realized it all along, but slowly they'll see that the journey was the best part.

Also, I think it's entirely fair to assume that I have read roughly 95% of the comments over the past two-and-a-half years or so. I have a boring job.

Guys, I've changed my opinion today on which herpes is worse. Things that are more towards the feet are way less essential that things towards the head. Herpes tends to stay within things that innervate the skin. HSV 1 (primarily oral) stays in the sensory trigeminal gangion, from where it can infect your EYES AND BRAIN. HSV 2 (primarily genital) usually just gives you infectious warts a couple times a year.

Guess which one most people have? :(

The one I gave your Mum

You...you regifted my herpes?

hey greenkoolaid I am not happy with touamb they don't approve my accounts they ban my accounts I think you should tell them don't fuck with me. message from aiu. don't fuck with me. be kind to me and I be kind to them. be mean to me and I post naked pictures of dogs humping cats and such.

How does a picture get naked?

until it is so nude?

your unintentional nonsequitur is insufficient for chubs.

But I am. *bats Mentonian eyelashes*

christ. another word I don't know.

it means: hairs that grow at the edge of the eyelid

So...."Mentonian eyelashes" would be the equivalent of "limb-tastic arms"?

Wait, no. I forgot to think about who typed those words. Nevermind.

this is for you, ms. thegoblins:

[IMGS OFF]

oops:

ointment

I no longer shave my tang. Ingrown hairs are no fun.

Well call me Neil Armstrong 'cause I'm ready for some Tang!

i prefer Minute Maiden. it tastes just like a woman.

Petite women. mmmmmmm, love 'em!

it's hard not to get fat when you're short :(

there is little wrong with substance.

you don't have to shave it skin-close. you can just leave stubble.

I'm not happy with TOUAMB either, but only because they're fuckin' boring.

I wonder if herpes can alter mammalian behavior in a way that's similar to the Toxo parasite... Maybe herpes changes brain chemistry such that you want to fuck more than normal, or you want to bite while fucking...

or maybe herpes is still in the process of evolving that capability... coming soon (in a millenium or two) ... new and improved Herpies 2.0... now with added Rabies characteristics...

and then it starts getting all kinds of silly new capabilities as the plot demands, from growing eyes on people's shoulders to turning them into Stretch Armstrong.

Fairly unlikely. Most viruses are kind of stupid; the only protein products they can really encode is the viral protein shell. They would be unlikely to have the capability of secreting such a toxin, which means they would have to act as a toxin themselves.

So far, not all that implausible. But the reason toxo does what it does is because it is a sexually reproducing protozoan that has to ensure that it gets into its host animal of choice. Viruses are not sexually reproducing; the only way they can reproduce is to get into a cell. Because they are so simple, because they really aren't even alive in the sense that organisms typically are, a virus probably would never evolve that capability.

Plummet: Well...like....that's like a really poor excuse not to go out with one, man.

Actually, viruses can do pretty cool shit. Herpes hides from the immune system most of your life, HIV has built in counter-attacks against the cell's anti-viral defenses, and HPV can override the controls on the cell cycle. Some of them encode way more than just coat proteins.

I haven't heard it called that before.

Maybe you should do some Kagels.

ouch

Yeah, you're right. I just feel that overwriting complex behaviors in humans might be a bit more of a task.

nvm, rabies is a virus.

Well, I already love to bite while fucking. So fuck herpes man!

amen. sexy biting is a big deal.

Whitey gets marks so easily.

That's why we have miscegenation laws, missy.

I didn't realize they'd proven that toxo affected human decision-making!

I dunno if it's proven completely technically scientifically. But it's like so obvious. Also, toxo has been linked to schizophrenia.

oh man, science. What won't it think of next!

Actually, from what I heard, women with toxo are statistically happier than those without, while men have more negative side effects. So it's possible that toxo is the reason there are so many crazy cat ladies, and not crazy cat men. PRETTY NEAT, HUH?

why oh why did someone have to go and fuck a cat?

(not you specifically catgrl, I mean just cats in general. You are exempt from the above sentiment.)

Guess who has BOTH.

Pogo, go for the Trifecta

HIV too, I presume. Got any on ya?

I had margaritas and tacos with several classmates on Friday night, and we somehow started talking about HIV. It them came about that one of my classmates said "Hey, ___ has HIV!" Nearby friends said "You have HIV? That makes you so interesting!" I expect to walk into class Monday and immediately be handed a plague-suit to wear.

In short, fuck you, tequila, and fuck you Friday.

Based on your next few sentences, am I forward in assuming you've contracted HSV 2?

Gobs has all the herpes. She even has it under her toe nails.

No. I just spend a little too much of my time thinking about herpes.

gobs thinks about gobs of herpes

Good to hear. Carry on.

Turn around.

bright eyes...

Burning like fire...

I'm confused, are we singing Total Eclipse of the Heart?

I was.

Rabbits.

I don't know what this means? But I don't care, because I just sneezed like 15 times in a row, and I just got so freakin horny.

Heh! Horrible things are happening for no reason!

nicest touch: panel 8 is a dead kennedys album cover

I began to suspect that when I saw the words 'Dead Kennedys' written across the picture.

that's a pretty terrible band name. How do the Kennedy's feel about that? Man if someone chose a band name that evoked the tragic history of MY family I'd hire someone to shoot them in the head!

Then some band could name themselves Third Eye Biafra and the cycle of violence would continue on...

Soon it became clear that this was but one piece of the puzzle.

The burning monk is on a Rage Against The Machine album, if you weren't aware.

I did not. Chuppied for knowledge.

And the Mother Teresa pic is from the limited-run single of "The Sherrif (sic) Fucks Me in E Major" by White Person/Black Person.

"Good Lord!" Sir Brigham ejaculated. "It seems that this web of intrigue is so deep and devilish we may never unravel it!" Pausing only to hail a passing hansom we made for Charing Cross to see whether Mrs Widmerpool's ladies maid could shed any light on the sinister mystery of the Dead Kennedys album cover. The die was cast, the game was afoot.

You know, I've heard of people writing words in the snow by peeing, but never by ejaculating!

wow. yojimbo, a character trying so hard to be japanese has the most round eyes possible. They are so open and are literally perfect cicrles.

he's anthropomorphically Japanese. what do you want a photo of a pussy cat in place of Ray and a photo of an otter in place of philliippe?

I'd read that.

My brain stopped at "photo of a pussy." What's new?

I'd totally read that. I'd even pay to read that.

god chill man. I was not attackin onstad. i just thought it was worth pointing out that among all the characters with slits for eyes, the japanese one has the roundest eyes.

das racist!

I'm at the pizza hut! i'm at the taco bell!

make up your mind.

I'm at the combination pizza hut and taco bell on jamaica avenue!

I don't see you dog!

heh - it's funny I believe it was greenkoolayd who originally introduced me to das racist.

Das racist reminds me of Rassenhass, the prejudiced Sesame Street character that I came up with in Year 13 German.

Still waiting to hear back from Mr. Henson...

JamAv repazent.

what's an imperfect circle? how about a nonliteral perfect circle, or a nonliteral imperfect circle? SHOW ME THE FUCKING NON CIRCLES

YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE NON CIRCLES

The non-literalness of an imperfect circle can be proven circuitously by comparison to a literally perfect circle, which in turn can be proven by comparison to both an imperfect circle, literally, and a perfect circle, metaphorically.

i read this for, god, like six minutes in a loop. i can't parse what's going on here.

That might be the point but I can't figure it out either.

Gentlemen: I give you circular reasoning.

but is it perfect circular reasoning or literal non-perfect circular reasoning or non-literal imperfect circula **splut**

Hey, what's Matt Ramsey doing in the last panel?

Minds = blown.

Tad, you crazy fool! You should never have your phone out around a Hungarian party toilet!

In Soviet Russia, is party line!

Yuri: yevgeni, is yuri, i callink you form commode. is you wantink 2 party?

yevgeni: yuri. do not call me i am shittink right now. we talk aboout this later

Yuri: HA-HA!!


It is the phone call that makes it a party toilet.

It is toilet-sharing that makes it a party line.
Is when several families have to share single line. Is before your time.
Plus, in Soviet Russia, the Party is shit, but you always have to follow Party Line. Or they flush you away.

That is most of the joke.
That Stalin, what a kidder. [b]HA-HA![b]

HA!

the assetbar_admin user has "rb was here" as his status. I guess that means he logged in while that was going on.

onstad's status was changed too, proving he does read the comments

or just that he logs into assetbar to post comics in fan-flow and shit, and he got hit with it then

maybe his wife logged in and posted for him. he was too depressed.

I know the fans will jump on me, but I'm noticing that as the strips go on and on, they're getting more and more verbose. I miss the brevity of the set-up panels followed by a slightly wordier punchline that made Achewood so unique when I started reading it.

things change dick weed or hadn't u noticed thas teh way of the world when you started to literally get hair on your ball sack . come on dood don' grasp for shit that done past either like how it is or piss the fuck off

Don't encourage him anymore than we all mistakenly have already.

what, no, glad is awesome

He's failing one of the cardinal rules of trolling and is now boring as hell and stagnant.

Actually no, that's a mistake. It's actually GOOD to be only one thing because that's what creates the annoyance but yeah, still boring. Fuck you gladi.

who gives a shit

Exactly dude, exactly.

I'll leave it thanks.

Get up in his face and say it, I dare you.

He'll wreck you man. He's an animal.

Animals ain't that vicious. 'Cept ferrets.

i hear ferrets are also like super smelly. like just stanky as hell.

my kitty went through a phase like that but he out grew it after a few months. I dunno if it was hormones or improper hygene or what.

i heard that, as well. ye shall know it is the truth by the testimony of two witnesses.

Lloyd Haskell, tis a grown up man I am! Speak one more word on it and I shall slap your crown so hard, that daisies wilt! Now Begone with ye!

much love. respect

Man, the early settlers are all dead. Better be careful here.

Shit be like Roanoke all up in here.

I regret that I have but one chubby to give you.

just 'cause you have a chubby doesn't mean you can't also strap on an extra

In the next strip, the advertisement turns out to benefit Phillipe's business despite looking like a disaster! We call this "a twist".

Because I was young and impressionable at the time, seeing the word "twist" makes THAT song play in my head: "C'mon baby ... let's do the twist." Chubby Checker was so cool.

Really? Is that what happens? I don't know! It's craziness! Anything could happen, I tell you, anything at all!

But probably what you just said.

Chubbied for an alarming gift of precognition

"Oh no."

"Oh yes."

"Oh."

There is nothing I can say to that.

Well.

stupid

Taking a bit of an Assetbar hiatus folks; papers and traveling, you know. Ay-dee-os, home-brays.

Good luck with your endeavours, dude.
