I understand where you're coming from, and usually I would agree with this kind of sentiment. But the author does something here that most others who use this cop-out ending don't, he uses it to intensify the anguish and fear that Phillipe is left with. Instead of using a dream sequence to get out of thinking up an ending, he has used it to make the ending more terrifying.

It's a 5 for me because of the ending, I think it works really well, like xndrew says.

I normally like K. Thor's stuff, like pretty much everything on shortandhappy, but this is extremely weak. The punchline even cribs directly from an early Simpsons episode. I'm not saying "boo he stole the idea," he probably had no clue it's been done. I'm just saying if the best idea you can come up with is something that also made it on a mediocre episode of the Simpsons then you're not really pulling off Achewood-level humor.

Man as if the "it was all a dream" thing was still ever a good idea, with or without irony, the end of this strip did the Scary Movie thing too, all just referencing tons of stuff about achewood without actually making any jokes, insights, emotional appeals, etc. Boo to that. Also, strange things are afoot at the Circle K.

I just really can't dig too much on this. I mean... Garfield . Eew.
On that note, has anyone read Garfield minus Garfield? Some guys take Garfield out of the strips involving him and Jon, so it ends up being Jon talking to himself and being crazy. Is so good.

The last panel made it decent, although I don't like that the cartoon infers that stuff like Teodor's big party and the drum machine manual never even happened.

I hope that graffiti says sex funeral.
It does. Did you recognize the Billy Idol poster AND the framed picture of French Fry?
I thought it was a picture of Phillipe standing on the drum machine manual, but I like your interpretation better because the first strip is already referenced. A picture of French Fry diversifies allusions to other strips. Good call zefiel.
