WHAT THE HELL IS WITH EVERYONE SPEAKING LIKE MY FRIEND HAS SPOKEN TODAY. IS IT TALK PRETTY AWESOME DAY? Sorry for the caps. Should I...Should I say something clever and related now?
When I am at home alone, I often converse with furniture. I have named my fridge, cabinet, and computer. I am also always naked. Picture it, if you will: a bleary-eyed and slightly buzzed me, my goonies hanging about in a most unsavory way, stumbling into my kitchen, looking at my fridge saying "Hey, Glyn," opening the door, apologizing for the intrusion, and taking out a bottle of milk. The next part of this story involves me taking some harder drugs and screaming at the milk just furiously and throwing it against my wall.
Today was awesome.

I really think Onstad is pretty respectful of his fans, considering he basically judges his comics by "will I find this funny" rather than "will the masses find this funny." He avoids a sense of patronizing and I would like to think he holds his fans (most of them at least) to a relatively high standard.

I was just scrolling through the 140 comments (why are there always >100 comments even when I first check?) to see if anyone had made a similar point. I get the sense of a thinly veiled disdain off this strip, and it makes me kind of sad. It seems like Onstad resents having to do the strip, or feels it's become formulaic, or something along those lines. I'm not saying he is. I could be completely wrong. It's that's just the sense I'm getting from this strip.

True in that the seed of this strip lies in Onstad having done Achewood for so long, but I don't sense much resentment or disdain, just good-natured joking about Achewood itself, of a sharpness and insight normally only seen in the most intelligent, witty and slightly cynical fan, not its creator - amazing.

Honestly though, that last panel contains a Cathy-related image I didn't need.

I am so sorry. I will probably get lamed for this, but I just got home and was piss drunk reading this, and my cat walked on the keyboard, making the page scroll down to a random comment, and I remembered that Ray is a cat, and suddenly, somehow, life just made SENSE.

Well, yes, but I was referring to the original post. And I was actually not being intentionally passive aggressive. I was just being melodramatically sympathetic cause I like being melodramatic sometimes.

I challenge somebody to do a comic using the Ruinous Habits / Fried foods / Ray / Cyrus West Field / Isambard Brunel ideas.
I don't have the stones to do it, but I know it's already forming in the imagination of somebody out there in internetland, and furthermore, I know it's AWESOME.
And I say that without know who Cyrus West Field is.
I want to see one using " " (two entries below Ray in the list) as the primary character.
The implication is clearly that Ray is the only primary character who is appropriately conducive to one-off self-entertainment strips.
Self-entertainment... is that what he was using his hands for?
Yeah. He goes to the garage because he prefers the decorum for the activity. Restraining seatbelts, brake fluid and power drills, shit helps Ray get comfortable.
Did I just elude to Ray being into...I apologise.

If I could give you one chubby for the strip summary and one for the Mike Gravel icon, I would.
Ok, now do unpopular appliances/things that turn red/ray/teodor/a chair is ageing
Ray and Teodor discuss Ray's newest whimsical and wholly unnecessary purchase: a device that causes the lawn furniture to rust very quickly.

Ok, well that was maybe a little harsh. I guess I was just venting my disappointment that I didn't see a comic recreated here.

It's so hideous I think I had a stroke. Chubbied.
Why do the ends of pictures posted always get cut off?!?!?!?! Is it perhaps just my computer?
For me, Right Click (Well, Control-Click, I'm on a Mac, but it should work I guess) > Open Image in New Window reveals the whole thing.
it makes even less sense now...
I like how Ray's physique is represented by a frowny face.
When a beer gut does a :(
It's like Teodor's Mickey Mouse Pancakes.
somehow reminds me of Milk Chan...
I compliment the use of 'from history'
am in progress of properly comicizing this biz.

an hour. one whole hour of my night dedicated to making this Happen. i am SO hoping for chubbies for this.
Your request is granted, but not because of your hoping. I think everybody respects genuine effort.
did you do this in photoshop or some other (less ridiculously expensive) program? I wanted to do this but lacked image editing...
Also chubbied. I feel like a scriptwriter now. Good thing the strike ended before yesterday.
Try GIMP.
that's totally it!
Of course. I pay attention.
duly noted~
made with a Program called [url=https://www.gimp.org/windows/]The Gimp[/u]. the best (well, only) Photoshop-style editor i've ever used. it's powerful enough to generate my avi and things like this, so i'm happy.

...cursèd tag.
Definately worth the effort. I even held my cursor over the stript expectantly, waiting for the alt text.
repeat (and paraphrase) of another alt text: "You can do whatever you want in life."
Onstad, what have you done? You've forfeited all the power you held over we Acheworlders! No longer are you the hand that feeds us; you have granted us the ability to create Achewood strips without you, and in doing so you are the architect of your own demise!
This is the biggest event since the fall of the Roman Empire.
Negatory.
This is Onstad's primary form of reproduction. He is simply trying to implant us with his ways until we transform into copies of him... so he can get more work done.
I...I'm slightly ashamed to admit that after I read this comment, I hovered my cursor over it for a moment, waiting for the alt text.
See hellofditties comment just slightly above your comment, and or mine much further below. You will find peace and grace, along with us other fuckwits with thumbs firmly planted.
Yeah, but I didn't do it on one of the images above. I did it on the script that earendil wrote. heh.
What if Cyrus West Field is a place and a not a who?
Good point.
Cyrus West Field is a state of being.
maybe it is a condition
