that owl is just full of anger

It was my avatar elsewhere for a good month or so

Majubu.

Please tell me it was animated, just glaring as hard and can be back and forth.

I may have to make that avatar.

Hurrah to you, good sir.

Anybody got a link to this picture (I assume it is a .gif of the pissed off owl)?

In general owls look like smug jerks, Onstad just took creative liberty with the one in his comic.

Can we see the owl appear in a few more? His furious little face is actually growing on me.

Also kudos for working in a Monty Python reference without going overboard on it.

Chubbied for furious little face. Something about that struck me madly comical.

It's not lame to have opinions, guys! Agika, you are rad! You...are...rad!

I think I'd like to see more of AKKOLADE acutally. Seems a cultured sort of fellow.

even with his weird skeleton

came here to post "I'd like to see more of AKKOLADE" but you had already posted this so thanks a lot asshole

Screamed the angry beatnik.

I also find AKKOLADE amusing, but generally the concept of a group of eccentric rich folk is rife with comedic potential if done right.

^^ his expression with the sigh is the icing on my cake

I really liked Bensington Butters. Its a shame we lost him in that mexico arc. Player was a good rival for Ray.

I guess since he's wearing sunglasses now, Butters being proud of his eyes was merely his 'thang from a couple of years ago.

AKKOLADE is really, really creepy.

retract, dogg. do not diss AKKOLADE on my watch

What kind of syndicate is this, anyway?

The players syndicate of course

It's not any "kind" of syndicate. It's just the Syndicate.

Much love for the Achewood owl.

Nice nudge to the Pythons... you sir, are a Comedic Scholar.

Ray's manner of speaking always takes a turn for the pimp when the syndicate is on his mind.

Rocky should make another appearance.

The Butters thing is what makes this strip for me. I imagine he's reading them out loud.

Personally, I really like the image of a guy calling a press conference, and then just sitting silently at the front of the room, ignoring the press.

Today's Blogs

Roast Beef: I got to cook up basically some late-night nachos

I, too, have experienced Roast Beef's pain. I haven't been reading the blogs (though I have been using my extra chubbies on them) but I now realized my mistake.

As a sidenote, it is cruel on my eyes to go from that solid black background back to assetbar's white.

Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and blame my burgeoning cataracts on that.

Go not easy into that good night
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.


also I hope your insurance offers laser surgery.

5 for the Monty Python reference alone...

It's nice seeing a Monty Python reference that ISN'T from "Holy Grail".

Originally a 3 before reading the alt-text and reviewing Rocky's facial expressions. Now a 4.

A solid 4.

AKKOLADE is back.

And his skeleton probably still looks weird.

I read this directly after recieving an e-mail from one of the people I consider my closest friends in which she told me that she finds my presence both irritating and uncomfortable, and wants me to leave her alone until forever.

I honestly smiled as hard as I ever have.

Not kate?!

Rough chuckles sans chuckles.

That owl looks hella pissed off.

That owl is not what he seems.
