I use this all the time on my very own vegan friend.

no, the strip itself. it is totally vegan.

Right now I'm imagining a text adventure interface:
>Use comic on friend
>The friend consumes the comic strip and thanks you heartily.

No, this strip is vegulon

i am ready to do something i thought i would never do on assetbar. i am a, a... oh god this is hard... i am a vegan. judge me as you will, for i do not judge you. perhaps this makes me a bad vegan. bad bad vegan. i just, i choose to be, ya know? and, well, i couldn't care less what others choose to do.

i'm also in love with molly.

do what you will with this sad sack.

What is your motivation for you vegrancy?

Is vegrancy the right words?

Why would anyone judge you? It's not like you're forcing anyone to eat Tofurters and oven fries. You're making a responsible choice, and I'd be with you if it weren't for the fact that I simply love meat. I hate myself a little for it, too.

My girlfriend is vegan and what that has taught me is that vegans have invented or otherwise engineered very many very nice things for themselves and their non-vegan boyfriends to eat. Textured vegetable protein, nutritional yeast and anything made by Gardein or Quorn just off the top of my head. It ain't a New York strip, but I love it in a completely different way.

Take that John Lithgow. Damn.

has he ever had a sparkling moment in his career? I still can't believe Third Rock From the Sun happened.

Yeah, that was pretty much the only good thing he ever did, although Harry and the Hendersons is fairly enjoyable on a really stupid level.

Man, Footloose was a moment, that's for sure.

"Dancing is not a crime!"

Listen - I'm not real into the guy but he was perfect in "The World According to Garp" and "The Twilight Zone Movie." It makes me uncomfortable, but I couldn't let this go without citing these.

I was about to say that "no one under 30 got the joke in this strip," but Rowboat is 29. the point is not on figurative sucks

I am far younger and understand it completely.

Well, thanks a lot, Tragicone. Rowboat is 30 now, but you've made my incoherence inaccurate for the next twelve years .

Have you actually seen Garp ? Is that thing still around?

maybe I don't than...

In The World According to Garp John Lithgow plays a former NFL player who is a post-operation male-to-female; a full transsexual, vagina and all, when that stuff was far more dicey on a medical level than it is now. She's still proud of her football career, and talks about her "great pair of hands." It's a bad movie based on a good book, but that's not Lithgow's fault; his performance is the most convincing part of the flick.

i intend to find this film. thank you

While I don't wholly agree with boredom_man's assessment of the film (I think it's pretty good), I would urge you to read the book first. It is far greater.

you didn't find the part where Garp's wife bites her student's cock off while giving him head convincing?

I first saw that when I was still a young virgin. That scene had me thoroughly convinced that sex was Trouble.

P.S. I eventually got over it and went on to have a very fulfilling life punctuated by the occasional giving and receiving of oral sex in cars. Everything was fine.

What? What? That's something that actually happens in the movie?? Holy fuck. I must never watch it. EVER.

She doesn't just bite it off for no reason. She does so when her husband's car slams into the back of her student's car (inside which the illicit head is being given) which is in the driveway when it shouldn't be. What makes the bitten-off dick pale by comparison is the fact that the very same crash kills their youngest son. Irving really knows how to punch a nigga in the brains when he wants to.

Ahhh... I remember 29. Sort of. I think I might have had fun.

you are officially Old.

Creepin' up on 31 now. Good thing it's exactly the same as 29 or even 26. I'm not fooling myself. You'll see - nothing changes bewteen these ages.

I lost my virginity in those years! And my son turned 10.

Wait...what?

also he was the serial killer in "blow out" and very creepy. godd performance, good movie.

Lithgow did a signing at my bookstore a few years ago, one of the honest to God nicest people to do a signing in my years in the book business. He signed whatever randomness the staff produced, with good humor, including a VHS copy of Footloose, and my own Shrek dvd. He did the whole Muffin Man skit, too, which cracked me up. So say what you want, most celebrities are dicks to 'service people' at these things, the guy was class.

Even if you're one of the very few who doesn't consider Cliffhanger a valuable cultural touchstone, he was good in Kinsey. And I guess he was in that TV show with the dad from Arrested Development, which gets maybe half a point through proxy.

Dr. Emilio Lizardo in "Buckaroo Banzai: Across the Eighth Dimension." The movie that inspired half of my name.

Buckaroo Banzai is one of the greatest B-movies EVAH. IMHO. Lithgow is great as the psychotic evil dude. Plus, it's a fun movie, if you don't take it seriously. So yeah.

"Laugh-a while you can, monkey boy."

YES. I just saw this movie a couple of months ago and it blew my mind.

You take that back. You take that back right now.

He was good in Ricochet and not too terrible in Cliffhanger. I haven't seen Raising Cain.

[You guys are assholes]

Raising. Cain.

John Lithgow is known as a man with a flaccid and unappealing penis.

Poor Mrs. Lithgow! This insult caused Coke to sprew out of my nose.

Pogo!

...a-and apparently it tastes like CARDBOARD!

"go Tofuck yourself" makes me laugh every time.

alt text: I think you know what kind of Monday it is.

exactly what is ray inserting into his mouth in panel 5? a pen? an oven fry?

I think he's pulling on his tongue.

The cat has got his tongue

Dammit I will NOT say lol.

let yourself go, see where life takes you

You know when you get tired and the lines between dreams and reality get blurry and you think imaginary things have actually happened? For a second my mind was seriously committed to the idea that an Achewood lol cats minisite existed, and that I needed to check it out. Oh good god.

Maybe, since he's a cat, he's dipping his paw into his martini and then licking it? I've seen cats do this. I think it's important to say that they did it with water though.

What? Who puts water in a martini? Fucking cats.

This even funnier if you can imagine what Pat is saying.

I really enjoyed how I didn't catch the John Lithgow bit until I got to the "What in the hell do you THINK it means?!"

Goddamn Pat doesn't even know how to make decent oven fries.
Perfect Oven Fries Every Time

It's a Keep John Lithgow's Penis Away From Your Mouth Monday

If only it were that easy... *shudder*

SPIGOT: HEY EVERYBODY TODAY IS MONDAY AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS
SPIGOT: FOR THE REST OF THE DAY YOU HAVE TO KEEP JOHN LITHGHLAGHALGLAHGLAHGLAHGAG
SPIGOT: DAMMIT

Now whenever I go to my cafeteria and they serve tofu (which is everyday), I replace the word "tofu" on the little labels with "tofuck".
Thanks Achewood.

Weekend Blogs

Roast Beef: Korean bbq lunch
Teodor: I got one of those little things for coffee.

I love that you do this!

I not only love that you do this, I love you personally and would like to marry you. You know, if you're not busy or anything.

Roast Beef's blog is the best, ever.

He can go Tofuck his John Lithgow fries.

historically, the funniest shit on Achewood is when ray and pat argue. [that's an opinion. but it is a fact to me. now go fuck yourself]

Tofucken. Best entree name ever.

They have this thing they do where they throw Pat's oven fries away.
