She seems remarkably blasé about seeing a hand get mutilated. I bet it's the kind of thing Beef would be interested in hearing about if he weren't understandably distracted.

You know what? That story gets better - in the sense that this version of the mnemonic, if it's true, is even more reprehensible...
I've heard that mnemonic before, but the version I heard was "-Black- Boys Rape Our Young Girls But Violet Gives Willingly". Can't tell you if one version of or the other is "authoritative" - and the guy who told me about it isn't the type to be proud of that kind of racism - but nor is he the type to sweep history like that under the rug.
I took a rather more mundane approach to remembering the color code - black is zero, because it's the absences of light. Brown is one... just because - and then the next six are the colors of the rainbow, in order. And then I almost never have to deal with parts with 8 or 9 values, so I don't worry about gray or white. :)

Notice how Molly always has some interesting way to phrase bad things happening? For instance, Roast Beef isn't staring at somebody's chest; he staring at them so hard that he's going to stave their chest in if he keeps doing it. Some kid didn't get his hand ground up in a blender - and by the way, OUCH - he made a "hand-flavored frappucino".
Maybe all that time she's spending around Beef is giving her a lot of practice in how to soften terrible events.
Also, it's one of the sweetest strips in Achewood.

needless to say, they are no longer engaged (in fact, he married someone else recently).

I was sorting out my own marriage during the time of this story arc. I'm Canadian, she's never left Poland. She's not even allowed to visit Canada yet.
Through the stress of planning an international marriage, combined with the language barrier and the mountain of immigration work hanging over our heads, we had a lot of fights and a lot of times where it looked like the whole situation was almost a bust.
However, every day I was reading Achewood, specifically this story arc, and damn but if that didn't set my shit straight and prod me along the path of not being an idiot.
It is three months after that. We had an INSAAANE little wedding (30 guests, 32 fifths of vodka drained) and the immigration paperwork is ready and waitin' to be mailed off.
As Achewood fans we are all very happy to incorporate this stuff into our daily lives and lexicons. In retrospect I am grateful for this, because at a time when I had a dog-doodoo mindset clouding my view of my own wonderful situation, the example of these two comic strip cat characters made me slap myself in the brain-face and tell myself "MAN WHY YOU GOT TO DO A THING. JUST COME REAL, DOGG."

Yay! And only on Achewood could a long-awaited marriage (engagement?) take place two panels after a "hand-flavored Frappuccino". Good times!

The last panel: I don't think you could actually have someone understand you better at all.

Giving a 5 and stating that my feelings for this strip are pro are not enough to describe the joyously aww-ish feeling this strip gave me.

And so it begins! Accidentally!
the divorce rate for accidental marriages is much, MUCH less than the divorce rate for intentional marriages.
Perhaps because there are so few accidental marriages these days.
Back in my day, it was the only way.

You'll notice he never claimed his day to be in the distant past.
Touche, good sir.
i read your username as tragi-cone. Like some kind of branded merchandise that is a tragic cone (like you'd put on a dog's head to keep him from eating his rear).
Yae, Yeshua my Child, often this mistake is made. But fear not for my love shall absolve you of error if you bask in its glow in the house that was built for me.
To be accurate, he probably meant back when he was a mere gleam in his dad's eye. That day.
PERCENTS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY
It seems appropriate to be this way. I mean, think of the ring as Beef's honest-to-God affections for Molly, made solid. He overthinks it and works hard as hell on it, then gets crazy nervous when Molly surprises him, and she just likes it immediately, overlooks all of his neuroses, and grabs at it.
Beef needs someone like Molly very badly. His life's very codified - he imagines interactions with others as taking place in a rigid system of rules which he's incapable of understanding. Molly, rather than thinking about the world, thinks about the people in it, especially Roast Beef, and she recognizes his sweetness and just blows right through all the silly complications he makes for life. She's much more instinctual. She may not know why Beef made the ring, but she knows she likes it and wants to wear it ight away.
Sweet mother of fuck I overthought this.

If it were Ultra-Peanut, he wouldn't.
I dunno, man. Over-analyzing Ultra Peanut could result in making her Less Funny.
Possibly... but I suspect it could be done in a careful manner that makes her in fact more awesome.
Besides... Norman is good at such things.
(And I am rarely able to say nice stuff about a guy.)
Fuck. I really did bash on Peanuts in a public forum. I Am A Dick.
I just looked at your avatar for the first time. Does his ear pop in the last part?
He's wiggling it with the benefit of CGI.
Not to mention that Peanuts is one of a few newspaper comics in history to stand up to Achewood in character depth.
You're spot-on, though. I'd give this comment my full ration of chubbies if I could.
Your username is my nickname. Have a chibby.
Shit. But funny Shit, indeed.
That's one of the things I dig about your comments, though...
Man, your EQ has to be through the roof. Nice, nice analysis.
That's like, emotional intelligence and not EverQuest, right?
Eyup.
