You just...ignore new strips?

holy shit this comic has asherdan posts that are visible without changing the display settings !

I like 'em too, but they last longer when they're not advertised. Much like the pristine wilderness.

A month has gone by, so "same to you, but more of it."

That is worth two chubbies. You could all learn from this man.

If you see it's futility, why do you do it so much?

It is what men live, and breathe for.

asherdan i have read like hell of strips but this is the first time i have actually read your comments due to not being blanked out. feel solace in your infamy

I've never known a man/woman to be so impressed with their own self-worth in such a venue as an internet comment board on a website dedicated to the life and times of talking animals.

Damn, dude.

Yeah, dude. Asherdan is a legend here.

You're not very self-aware, are you, saint?

The essense of Internet argument is:
"This one, prick?"

a comma misplaced, an asset misunderstood, a war ensued.

Fucked up but good.

Roast Beef is not a cat who enjoys casual hugs between friends.

Judging by Roast Beef's expression, I don't think that the "Upstanding Librarian" is a casual hug between friends.

Yeah... I think there is a lot going on in panel eight that we're not seeing...

Oh I was actually thinking of a different strip in which Ray hugs Beef

He kind of squirms violently and gets this just awful expression on his face.

beef does not want to hear that while with another guy.

I love getting this reaction out of my friends and family.

Ray dates his signature and knows Esquire Magazine's 100 favorite sex positions by heart.

He's giving the book as a present and dating it (not unusual).

Your explanation is funnier though.

Ray is overjoyed at last his best friend is getting some. Awesome.

The only thing better then having a good time, is seeing your best friend have a good time.

..too.

Oddly enough, the Sixty-Nine is #32. They had meeting after meeting about it, about how hilarious it would be if the Sixty-Nine WAS #69, but they thought it best not to tamper with the integrity of the poll results.

(#69 went to the Velvet Elvis)

When I was in college, I found some old boxes in the attic of my dorm - stuff that had been left behind 20 years earlier. One item was a book of sexual positions. It was apparently a present from one high school friend to another, as the inside front cover had an inscription. I don't remember the names of the giver and the recipient, but the note was "Happy Fucking at college!" That is no lie.

Crap, a lame once given can never be undone. I have forever tarnished your reputation on the internet.

Was "Fucking" capitalized like that? Maybe it's some bizarre holiday no one has heard of ...

I believe "Fucking" was capitalized. So, it was "Happy Fucking" in the vein of "Happy Birthday." That is a holiday I would mark on my calendar. Do you think it could be like having fish on Friday, though? I don't want to wait a whole year every time.

I cannot tell you with absolute certainty that it was capitalized. I did not want to keep the book once I realized how it had likely been used. Later, it was taken away as hazardous waste. Really. They removed asbestos from the building, and threw out everything that was inside at the time.

It's actually a place in Austria.

That seriously in all honesty made my day.

It would be even better if they adopted Pat's moon rocket "Fuckin'" sign.

I love you for what you have taught us here, today.

"...Mr Fuck or the Fuck family..."

Fucking.

Durn. I used this fact a year or so later in a different strip. I did not learn it from this comment. You are the first asset to mention this as far as I can tell.

much like myself, beef is not a fan of hugs as such .

Ray holds all of the world's good intentions in his heart...but none of its taste or sensativity.

so inappropriate

This is one of the greatest buddy moments I can remember in Achewood. I hope most of us have had a friend who would do this.

I love that for Ray it is not enough that his friend has sex. He must have FUN sex.

*sniff* If that ain't friendship.. I don't wanna know what is!

This seems to potentially violate Ray's statement that he wouldn't let a molecule of his dick touch Beef.

Love Beef's expression in the last panel.

my favorite part about this one is that roastbeefs birthday has been established as christmas eve and ray thinks its sometime around april

If I was hugged by a cat in a thong, I'd look exactly like Roast Beef in panel 8

Last panel slayed me. 5

I like how roast beef takes a long time to say it's not his birthday in panel 1. it just sounds hilarious.

I can't tell if the emphasis on " fun " is supposed to be genuine or bitter...?

Completely genuine.

Position #73 is a little painful when it's two dudes.

ray should have written something about getting his bone on when he signed the book

Molly: I am officially sick of Cosmo.

Don't fight it, Beef, it's all good man

I would like to read Esquire's top 100 Least Favorite Sex positions.

I'm going to be a librarian when I grow up. Seriously.

Really...hey, let me know which library, okay? Just...just because I'm curious is all.

The first two panels are just beautiful Beef-dialogue.

I ended a year-long dry streak recently, and when I bragged to my Achewood-reading roommate he replied with Ray's panels 7-8. So if he ever does one of those "I really said this in real life" posts about it, I'll back him up. I bet he won't, though. Dude's got dignity.

Beef kind of looks like Keanu Reeves in the last panel.

funniest achewood of all time.

notice how Ray's trapezius muscles are bigger in this strip than in any other strip. hella thick neck as well. in that last pic, he's just givin' Beef a beerqueer man throttling hug that no guy likes, sober or otherwise.

Ray is very uncomfortable to be around when sexual things are being discussed.

See: all of the comics, ever

[IMGS OFF]

Ray's "E"'s are not how they are usually written, with the vertical line missing.

Ray is probably humping his leg. I mean, he did enthusiastically nosh on Beef at the party way back when to freak him out/show affection.

she said he noshed on beef , huh-huh.
