leprechauns are in short supply these days

it's a good party trick if you can find one, though

You diss my hog, you fluff my...wait. Shit. Can I start over?

DC

No retakes! >_>

I don't understand why you feel the need to have your signature (which I assume stands for DoomChild?) in every post post.

Post post ? Seriously?

Do I have a nervous tic that I was previously unaware of?

i concur with the dc thing

and i've heard of such a tic

post post disorder, it's not entirely uncommon. with therapy it is possible to overcome though

oh thank god god

the god god disorder however is incurable

it's better than the god god complex. there's just no dealing with that shit

Wrong. I cured cured myself.

Or the God God delusion.

The worst part is that those afflicted can't even say the name of their disorder without sounding completely retarded.

what's even worse is dudes who end every post with "Peace". even worse is i'm pretty sure it's the same guy. all across the internet.

Right now there's some bro reading this right now and he's trying to find the register button just so that he can get back to you.

For eight months.

i hope you meant to make that pun. i really, really, hope so.

man I love the idea of finding a leprechaun being something you can trot out at parties

all "TA DA"

This is beautiful.

Todd is like basically an anomaly of science. Technically speaking, the dude should not be

This is a lot to take in.

The fact that his first word upon coming into existence is "FRICK" is just unendingly hilarious to me.

Fuckin' storks man, they're the real assholes.

a six dollar burrito hardened by lava, this is the beginning to the new "jumpin' jack flash"

Lava? Oh, you mean the Magic Gravy!

What an absolutely awful bit of slang! You are in Trouble yet again, cailetshadow!

everything about this strip is incredibly perfect. todd is awesome.

Todd was really high when all this happened.

it didn't even really happen

That's pretty high!

What, did the stork just hang out for an hour and forty minutes?

He was looking for his burrito. He paid like six bucks for that thing, man, he wasn't just gonna leave it.

maybe he got where he was going, turned around and noticed todd on his way back

in the same place where he dropped his burrito

Suckin' dick did not buy this van.

Killed This Stork

I like to think that the license plate frame is the stork's last act of spite.

If one looks hard enough at the fuel gauge of the van, it becomes a stork's head screaming soundlessly for all time.

If one listens hard enough, one can almost hear the silent whispered scream: "My Burritoooooo. You jerkwaaaaaad."

I bet somebody else noticed this, but it was my first time: the stork's eyes become the windows, and that window shape is repeated on Todd's aer-o-plane! Frikkin' sweet!

alt text: The stutter creation myth happens at a different historical time.

This is without a doubt my favourite strip ever.

Crap! I paid like six bucks for that!

The stork's corpse turning into the van is awesome.

Polymorph stork to van

are you a "lord" of the "underground poorly lit buildings, typically used to store treasures or prisoners?"

it is possible that i am an administrator of vaults.

or maybe even an overseer of catacombs.

Roll the dice to see if I'm getting drunk!

They lamed a really useful spell... now I just need to find a 2 ton stork and kill it by hand... any suggestions~!?

Are there any girls there?

It is theoretically possible, yes.

Read it in Kermit's voice.

maha

I should clarify: read it in Kermit's voice and realize that it sounds like something Carl Sagan would say, then realize that Kermit and Carl Sagan sound exactly alike.

Hahaha, so true!

So what happens to the van if you cast Mordenkainen's Disjunction on it?
Does it turn back into a Stork Corpse... turn into a non-magic Van... or just explode?

Looking at the spell description for Mordenkainen's Disjunction...The effect would merely be ended as per dispel magic. So you would get a dead stork. You know, I always imagined that any D&D nerds on Achewood would be crotchety old men, shouting about how PC's just aren't as tough as they were in 2nd edition and how it's too easy to become a bard now. It surprises me that you use 3rd edition.

I'm going to have to have sex and beat someone up to cleanse myself of the nerd. Bye.

I play 2nd edition AND 3.5 ... but not 3.0 ... ever.

I WANNA CAST MAGIC MISSILE

4th edition is watered down bullshit that wants to be an MMORPG and has no right EXISTING.

I'm sure it'll grow on me.

More importantly, is there a "Transmute Van to Stork" spell?

You mean one thatisn't a 9th level spell specifically designed to unmagic things?

Y'all some nerds. (sorry rowboat for stealing your line)

ONE HUNDRED MINUTES LATER

It's lines like that which make me realize I haven't bought enough Achewood-related merchandise. This man is worthy of giving money to.

This actually makes a little more sense than most creation myths, and captures the feeling perfectly

I know by heart the alt text is something about todd's stutter creation myth. There hasn't been a comic on that yet has there?

The stork's eyes!!

I just noticed the stork's eyes are the same as the van's logo.

aren't they bubble windows?

I fuckin knew that's how it happened.

I don't even know why, but this might be most hilarious comment in all of acheworld.

I would like to see the Lie Bot creation myth.

They already ran it last week. But then the server crashed, and it was lost forever. It was the saddest thing, really.

ok this is awesome.

Every character in every webcomic should have their own creation myth.

Philippe's would win. Hands down.
Vlad's would be second best.

Philippe's would probably explain why he is perpetually five, so I don't want to see it D=

Philippe's wouldn't explain much at all. It would just be rad... and involve his mother.


I dunno, I get the feeling Lyle's would be pretty entertaining. I get the feeling it would involve NASCAR and unwarranted violence.

I believe it would involve Darlene, and potentially the origins of his alcoholism? I think it would be sad.

Two months later, the truth was revealed. (Kind of.)

this was when i started reading and what made me decide to

Heh! The teardrop back window of Todd's van is the same such as those we see on Achewood's airplanes. Interestink.

That's 'cause Todd owns the airplane too.

He killed a polar bear for that bitch.

The Book of Todd actually ends with Todd bringing about the apocalypse by smoking absolutely everything, gradually conflagrating all of reality.

Thanksgiving Break Blogs

Ray: A Thanksgiving call to mom.

Today's Blogs

Roast Beef: Molly's xmas list.
Onstad: Moved back to California.

Is it just me or are the late 2005 blogs just the balls? (the good kind of the balls)

It is not just you. The beginning of Ray's call to his mum had me whimpering with laughter.

WHOOOOO AMMMMM I?

Cookbook Corner: Todd

Ingredients:

1 six dollar burrito
1 volcano

Throw six dollar burrito into volcano. Bake 100 minutes. Chill on edge of volcano.

Serves 1 dead stork/sweet ride.

Goddamnit. I thought I saw a tiny light dot in panel 17, right where Todd's eye would be, and thought that it was another rare sight of Todd's anatomy.
Then I scratched at it and it turned out it was a little dried speck of spittle. Oh well.

Todd's anatomy consists of a long tail, an even longer cock, and an exposed middle finger, j-j-j-jerkwad!

Suckin' Dick bought that stork...

I find the vibration lines very aesthetically splintering in this one. That was probably a horrible way to phrase it, though.

beautiful

You're the REAL THING, jerkwad. Must remember to use this against/at friends.

ahh palindromic onomatopoeia

I choked Galadriel to death and she turned into my Lincoln Town Car

Then, while I was driving down the road a guy called me a fucking asshole because I cut him off
