The last panel of this strip: One of the many Achewood phrases now in my general useage.

The very first that entered mine. It's the reason I bought the Achewood book in support, and have been loving the strip ever since.

...they ain't got real money see, they got that Yang money...

This is a great thing to say in a Chinese class if you don't like having a good grade.

There's no such thing as a Chinese class. It's a scam, like teaching people to change CDs using telekinesis.

No, you can actually do that.

What you have to realize about Chinese people is that they are clay goblins who can speak with the sand.

I used to feel so alone. Now I know that I am not the only one. Thank you.

hilaracist, of course

Not to be confused with hella racist, which is bad.

Blister shuo zhongwen shuo de bu hao. My Chinese professor thought this strip was hilarious.
Also that is not even close to being the first swear word in Achewood history.

I know you're referring to the alt text. Is there some way to access the alt text through this site or do you just follow along on the main site

I follow along on the regular site; Chris says that alt text will be added in a later version of Acheworld

Ha ha ha, that's like, the only Chinese phrase I know. That made me excited. That is all.

First swear word by Blister, I do believe.

wow jesus christ your avatar is the worst ive seen probably

It makes me want to have a seizure.

Ain't it grand?

i hate you more than i've ever hated a person

Chinese is insane.

This is definitely one of the best. I too often use the phrase "that would be a good point except..." now.

solid gold

Chinese people in heaven must have it rough.

Actually, they would have the upper hand , see, 'cause they'd not only speak heck of Chinese, but also have access to every other language ever.

Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown.

Wait wait wait.

How in the HELL are Chinese people gonna get into heaven?


(I promise I'm not racist)

This is how I feel at every chinese restaurant.

This must have been back when it was OK to repeat the strip verbatim.

This is the strip that got me hooked on Achewood. My girlfriend bought me a signed print.

You just need to do more acid is all.

This strip didn't get me into Achewood, but it was the first strip I saw kind of randomly and out of context that I thought was really great.

this is the first signed strip i ever got. <3

And in hell you immediately know how to read.

This is possibly one of the greatest of the old school strips. Without a doubt, top 5.

Uh, guys, Onstad did not invent the most ancient stereotype of the Chinese language

this strip will be hanging on my toilet wall once i get off my arse and get it framed. til then it's lying on top of my drug preparation book (the art of spirited away hardback, thanks for asking) so that none of my friends can miss it. although no-one has laughed yet apart from me, every time

My chinese ex thought this was hilarious, and now frequently says this line when describing Mandarin for any language. She will also just say "Ching Chong Wing Wong" at random times.

This is the first Achewood I ever saw. It was posted in a radio station I worked at. I always used to think "That is raunchy but also hell of humorous." but didn't discover the site till about six months later.

This one is great and classic

One might say it is grassic. Or glassic. Or cleat.

i love todd

I fucking love Blister's hands here. He changes from his default "arms streched out because I am an Angel" pose to deliver "crazy-talk" gestures.

Alt text: "First swear word!" I think that's true.

False! I am definitely not afraid of the fucking police.

first swear word for Blister, fool.

I like that Blister's default posture is Cristo Redentor.

This was made even funnier for me by the fact that for some reason I imagine Blister speaking in the voice of James Earl Jones.

Not even close to being the first swear word. What the hell, Chris?

I'm not 100% sure but I think this was the first strip I read.

I am 100% sure that it is the first one I read. Someone posted it on 4chan, and it piqued my interest.

Any strip with Blister is a 5

Best strip ever? Yes.

Ah, the Ambiguous All-Caps and No Punctuation of the Elder Gods.

The comment before mine makes me sad...but on a side note English is a pretty stupid language too. Anyone who has learned it as a second language can attest to that.

Blister learned everything he knows about the Chinese language by watching "The Wild, Wild World of Batwoman."

Oh man! That brings some memories flooding back. Terrible, nightmare-ish memories.

This is the strip that got me into Achewood, at least a year before it says I started on my profile.

No asian co-worker is safe since this strip.

This is a top contender for my achewood tattoo (the last two panels).

Don't Chinese people go to heaven? :(

Maybe it's just me but I feel that the 5th panel is even more genius than the 6th. Blister's line caught me so off guard, it's really what makes the strip a 5.

i printed this out for my coworker.

she has it on the wall.

lol racism.

That shit is indeed insane.

yoo whan egg woh wih dat?
