It would be hella inapropriate for a real-life person to steal this idea, right?

Not the same, but interesting, I thought.

Dude, steal it. As in go do it. That would be most excellent.

evidence?

the understanding that nobody cared should be proof enough.

I believe you.

I think this strip has to get a 5 based on concept alone.

> I think this strip has to get a 5 based on concept alone.

Pretty much. It takes a cartoonist with utter confidence to go that far out on a concept limb. This shit is crazy . But it totally works.

Seriously, bravo.

I've always had the least trouble imagining what Little Nephew's voice sounds like

I imagined Riley (younger brother) from The Boondocks.

Good call.

How do you make sure you're only doing 1 inch per hour? That seems like the hard part.

How much cheese does it take to make one rude and raunchy, anyway?

You ain't need too much cheese sir no ain't need too much cheese at all.

Girls like a boy who eats cheese

I hope I find that out someday Ms. Blarghamagarky

And yet girls dislike an overweight boy with chronical flatulence and...

Wait, wait. Are you quoting here?

eating too much cheese can make one constipated.

I dunno... I mean, look at the French, they basically eat nothing but cheese.
You wouldn't question their rudeness and raunchiness, would you.

Cheese does cost hell of cash money. ESPECIALLY in the amount required for one to be rude and raunchy.

Little Nephew is really a lot like Ray, just without the cash to back up his ideas.

About 70% of Achewood plotlines are based around some crazy-ass business idea.

Balls on phones, perfect jays, Jaime the Science Friend, Jared and Subway, Potty Pals, logos, programs for figuring out how much change is in the apartment, romance novels of all kinds, Perky Pervert, Mister Band to a certain extent, Stoned Lightning, Mexican Realism and Mr. Edison, The Dude and Catastrophe, Lazarus Loafer for sure, SaniTaco, and Leon Sumbitches, just to name a few.

Stoned Lightning? Business venture?

But dare I speak against Spiny Norman?

LN once again proves he is the master of controlling people through the internet.

Little Nephew is such an underused character, but when he's there he's great

EXTREME UPDATE

Little Nephew never looks straight ahead.

Except in Panel 7.

Barely. I was having trouble deciding. But the low social status insecure beta male in waiting thing is well done with his always-looking-up-diagonally eyes.

The rap insult arc is a great riff on Little Nephew's character and maturation needs.

My first Achewood, and such a fine strip too.

This is what Savetoby should've been, man.

The alt-text makes this a 5

This is pretty bad. You might not want to read it.

Mr. Bear: A bit of a dark cloud above the old corpus

I'm going to be honest here: Philippe's second blog entry nearly made me cry.

"noooooOOOOO!"

To be fair though, it was really sad. Combined with Cornelius feeling the pangs of his waning youth, that was probably one of the saddest complements of blog entries from this period. I wonder if Onstad was having a bad week. ):

P.S. You're only 5 days ahead of me! I'll catch up to you yet, Heccibiggs.

"Oh No" :'(

He warrrrrrned ye!

Philippe kills a whole lot of shit that he loves.

Oh, you wacky internet. All makin' grown-ups pretend to give a biscuit with two shits inside, you.

That webcam has to be hooked up to some sort of wireless feed with a generator to power a laptop or something. Ray must have had a hand in this business. I mean compared to Little Nephew photographing his bozack for the internets, Ray must have been relieved to hear about inching a Honda Civic into a lake for cash.

except for ray gets pissed...

I love how this is the 1337th strip I've seen.

The fact that he calls himself little nephew and even wears the initials for his relation to ray on his shirt kind of undermines his attempts to pretend he disregards or even doesn't idolize the guy.

Starting one of the better arcs here. <3
