That was not intended to sound dicky. I meant to underscore the randomness of the reference. I do not mean to imply that the 1812 overture was about the Luddites. It is unlikely.

Dear. God. I. Am. Not. A. Religious. Man. But...
Well, you know the rest. I had the thought that everyone had a time to use that line, but as I wrote it out I began to think better of it.
The number was clearly on Mr. Onstad's mind from when he had to think of a realistic-sounding street address for Mr. Gary's Support Group.
It'd happen to anyone, and it's a bit endearing to see it here, really. Endearing, and humanizing. A salute to Mr. Onstad.

It's really astonishing the sheer number of offhand references that Onstad tosses out from strip to strip. It's one of the things that make Achewood a complete world...not to mention the blogs and in-character books. Add to that the sheer number of settings and auxiliary characters... How many "sets" has Garfield used over the decades? "Room," "Table," "Front room with window," "Outside of house," "Street," "Street corner." That's all I can think of off-hand. Achewood's a complete town, even after only a few years of development, and Onstad absolutely refuses to rehash or self-plagiarize anything but the artwork. Imagine what it would be like to construct Achewood in full detail on a soundstage, and have fans walk around in it. You'd be instantly at home.

Achewood doesn't need a con. That's just not the way of it. I say we should just head over to a taqueria, grab some burritos, and then maybe hit a decent sort of bar where you can have a conversation with some dudes and not have to put up with either hipsters or yuppies.
Actually, I would definitely like to make that a Thing.

Sci-fi author Gene Wolfe often uses the number 17 to denote some form of evil. He has a totalitarian society ruled by the Group of Seventeen (a reference to the Politburo), a group of 17 "megatherian" Lovecraftian monsters who seek to rule the world, and so on.
I don't know if it means anything.

For instance, exclaiming that "Yes, you do look kind of fat in those pants, why did you buy them anyway?" may be true, but it will improve your relationship.

He left the phone number of the ENTIRE government by the phone.
And they'll still feel outnumbered by Gramma K.
They don't toss that number around a lot because of all the complainers out there.
Man, not the ENTIRE government....THE government!
Not too hard to do. That would imply that he just left the Blue Pages there.
