Artificial Japanese Liver Tuesday, July 1, 2003 • read strip Viewing 42 comments:

that engrish text actually makes more sense than what you normally find on product

I have actually used "Tomorrow has made a phone call to today" in marketing pitches. Those that do not go "whaaat" are sold.

And since they're normally driving around without insurance, those sorts of people probably aren't the best candidates for marketing pitches anyway.

Zing!

There is a feeling of the Achewood.
The comic can bring a face of the times smile to foreground.
OK to trust in the smile of the smile cat.

ACHE WOOD

The sun has made a note of your face.

IS CATS
IS BEARS
IS OTTERS

Nightlife got Hep C from a prostitute.

i figured it was just years and years of alcohol, but that's plausible too

Littla both, probably.

Roast Beef now has a bullet lodged in his spine giving him wireless Internet access in his brain, the cardiopulmonary system of an AIBO dog, and an artificial Japanese liver. He totally qualifies as a cyborg by this point.

My grandmother's artificial hip, knee and heart valve bring her pretty close to qualification

it jumps... so lightly
then falls unto him.
achewood, it is important for him to convey it.
sanitary.

I think the funniest thing about that package is that liver is written like it is a flavor.

It's because the Japanese design with the future in sight, soon there'll be Sanryobuki Livers, stomach, lungs, etc.

Only a phone call? Tomorrow's a real dick.

It's not tomorrow's fault. All they have is the phone. And artifical organ technology. You'll see. We'll all see.

"Tomorrow invites you in for coffee" might be a bit forward.

Tomorrow strokes the side of your face. Kisses you on the forehead and shakes it's head. Looks into your eyes. It knows what you don't and understands...

we're all entirely fucked.

"Today? Hey. Yeah. I think we should see other people."

After dumping Today, Tomorrow is free to pursue the day he's really been after: the Day After Tomorrow.

The love affair is short, as in the morning Tomorrow finds that he is now today, and the Day After Tomorrow is now Tomorrow. The new Tomorrow breaks up with the new Today and starts hooking up with the Day after Tomorrow, all over again.

This is amazing.

i had to read this no less than six times to fully get it but damn this is fine work

It is vastly superior to the lines such as mine which set it up, and under-chubbed.

Ray looks like a wounded mother in panel 1 and 5 as well as an evil organ stealer in the same comic strip. The dude has no limits!

For relaxing times, make it Suntory times

cracking reference!

I love that. I love that so much.

TO A MAN WHO "FELT" HE MUST HAVE HIS BONE.
DOES THE SMILE COME UPON HIM AGAIN!
THE RAINCROUDS PART TO SHOW THE SHINING STARS TO HIM ALL.

...so wait, should I mark this as spam?

Interesting that this highly experimental liver also happens to be popular.

no one can see
what Frank can see
Sanryobuki.

Translated into Japanese, this fits the Haiku format perfectly.

(I have no idea is this is true or not.)

It's the amazingly blatant way Ray stares at Nightlife that makes this one so special.

Yeah, that made my day. "My best friend needs a liver, and you have one. You get how this is gonna work?"

this artificial colon is well if you not eaten aces enough fibre and your capacity broken in order to control when you must use the toilet. your freedom cures, and you becomes well under the cover of dignity.

'My foie grais looks like a damn Brillo Pad.' 5'd for that alone.

I swear to goD this is the best comedy writing ever. Like grade A SNL or Conan on his top game kinda stuff. love your stuff onstad. love it.

at least it doesn't say "river" on the box.
