"terror-laid". a coinage the world could perhaps have done without.

Had to Google it, and came up with, "Our Green Terror laid eggs on a rock in our 55 gallon, i mean there must be hundreds of them."

At first I said to myself, "Why would anyone Google such a terrible thing?" But then afterwards I did so as well.

After the requisite laying eggs bit, what I read said, "I noticed that the green terror was real buddy buddy with my convict for awhile. Can a green terror and a convict mate?"

I'm so. . .confused.

How do fish... do it ???

There are several variations on this but typically, the females release eggs into the water, and the males will release sperm to fertilize them.

It is a very boring life, to be a fish.

Seriously? Do they like swim back and forth really fast to mimic masturbation, or do they just get off whenever they want too?

the sight of eggs covered in jelly excites a male fish.

SO MUCH.

I five'd this strip just for "terror-laid."

Todd grew up in Brooklyn. Most Squirrels do.

Fact: Most squirrels in Brooklyn never attain full growth.

Fact: As a black squirrel, Todd is probably from New England or Northwest Washington.

Squirrels leave in trees.

No one ever heard of a tree growing in Brooklyn.

live dammit LIVE

(you'venevergivenuponanythinginyourlife!)

No?

[IMGS OFF]

Wasn't sure if you were making this joke or not, so how's about a benefit-of-the-doubt chubby?

(I was making the joke, but it's ok)

Like I said, benefit of the doubt. I really need to keep in mind that maybe 70% of the membership of this community could be described as "witty and urbane," with the other 30%, I don't know, maybe "gaseous and asinine"?

If only this proportion held for the Internet at large. Sigh.

get over yourself, pal. youre no intellectual.

word.

it's like you expect your reading Harper's Classics to mean something to us.

alternatively:
that book's cover design is just all sorts of wrong .

O, I've been served right in my pride . While in the process of complimenting most Achewood readers. By one for whom an apostrophe is apparently a leap year kinda thing.

Day-um.

i was just shooting off at the mouth, as it were(typing off at the mind?).

That's not true! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!

Search your feelings, etc.

IGNORANCE: it's not just for religious people anymore

needing "bumps" aint cool... you will got buttshit apehole...

In that last panel he just goes on a tare of the lowest slang from every culture.

Nightlife Mingus pauses for effect.

does todd go to all squirrel prisons/heavens? I feel that a prison filled with squirrels like todd would be particularly unbearable, although still hilarious stuff

I hope he goes to all squirrel prisons; otherwise, being terror laid by, say, a cat, would be just that much more terrible.

I keep trying to read Todd's dialogue in the last panel and it just turns to white noise in my head halfway through. Is this just me? What the hell is he saying? I want to know!

We can talk about that another day, fool! Give me twenty dollars; I need to snort a small portion of cocaine before I go crazy and throw up all over the floor.

My first, momentary assumption, was that, rather than translating Todd-to-English, you were simply calling "prine" a fool, and informing him that his query did not carry the particular urgency which he had assigned it.

How appropriate , I thought.

Your original reading is still there, in the subtext of geysershitdick's response.

I just realized that there is something unsettling about trying to seriously discuss a post when the author of said post has chosen such an unfortunate moniker.

I like to think that it's because you're not allowed to swear while at Heaven's "Wankers Rehabilitation Detox Ranch". So Todd had to work with interesting stencils in order to use his colorful language.
Sadly Todd isn't any good at anything including self censorship which is why an s cuss slips out.

"Terror Laid" is perhaps the worst kind of laid you can get.

SUCKIN' DICK

BOUGHT THIS SQUIRREL'S LIFE FOR ONE MORE DAY

"Todd came back from heaven completely addicted to horrible drugs" oh my word, this is poetry

I don't think we should assume that the alt-text implies that Todd wasn't completely addicted to horrible drugs prior to his stint in heaven.

Not completely, no.

Coming down from Heaven is rough.

Todd was already addicted to horrible drugs before he went to heaven.

bitch-up

smack-my

i like how he always has shake lines. classic todd

Everytime I see Todd on here I hope someone asks him his opinions on birth control.

I thought you died and went to heaven! I hit you with the baseball bat myself!

By your explicit request!

I'm waiting for the day I can use the phrase 'yerp onna frickin' floor' in everyday life :[

I'm waiting for the day I can say "I thought you died and went to heaven!"

Dark horse candidate for best Todd strip?

no: "Todd Is On The Fuck Plan".

Great alt-text. "Todd has come back from heaven completely addicted to horrible drugs."

Why can't we have eternal life?
And never die

I will assume you are referring to the best Entwistle-solo-tune-lifted-as-Who-concert-opener song ever, and award you a chubby to counteract the lames... Live at Leeds, much?

Ass-Jack, Heaven-Bitch, Terror-Laid. I give you, the three best hyphenated phrases in Achewood history.

Snot-cock is my all-time favorite, and has entered my everyday jargon.

I used to think I was the only person that enjoyed saying the word "buttshit". Then I read this strip.

horrible drugs

Schmendrick!!
Been a long time since I heard that referenced.

I myself watched The Last Unicorn roundabouts the time I first read this strip, so it all came together in a beautiful symmetry for me.

Free association:

Terror-laid

Not Without My Daughter

I give it a five for the insult, "'syer mom still a putz?"

Ricky Craponi, Terror-laid, heaven-bitch, & buttshit apehole. I would definitely make at least one of these a band name.

And that band would sell 5 CD-R's with 3-songs (two of which are covers) to friend and family in their 18 weeks of existence.

todd has a way with words.

5'd for the second panel. Teodor doesn't even miss a beat, he just keep talking to Todd like he's not being a total dick.

whatever. Todd WENT to heaven completely addicted to horrible drugs.

Why does he always go to heaven his every action is what god would want one not to do?

Because you're goofing off posting on Assetbar, Lucifer?
