0087 — Honeymoon Shorties #4/6
🕑 Added 2024-09-30 17:00:03 +0000 UTCThis one gets my vote for the Most OG Style Achewood of this entire 6-strip mini-run. Do you think it compares to the year one mentality?
For the next two weeks, while we're away on our honeymoon, I'm running three new strips a week, M-W-F. These are ultra-classic, single-row Achewood strips like you saw in 2001.
I'm posting three a week instead of the usual one-on-Friday because, frankly, posting short strips makes me feel insecure about providing enough value for you, even though I love how this set of six captures the old absurdist flavor of original Achewood. It's me, not you.
Why am I doing short strips at all? Because they show an essential element of the Achewood approach, and it's also becoming a pleasant custom for me to do these during my vacations. They make use of the scratch-and-dent part of my writing file — weird little ideas that can't carry a long-form strip.
Please enjoy the change-up, and when I return, you will probably see a comic about what it's like to honeymoon in Italy during a transportation strike. (Hint: Ray will sit in one restaurant in Minori and eat Pasta alla Garlic Butter until his systolic becomes a hum, like the electric pump of an aquarium).

My dream high school pants were black parachute pants with a matching black members only jacket, just like my friend Bobby had. I never had the funds to realize that dream. I was buying my own clothes at that age. I could have never asked my parents for something like that. Bobby was two years older then me and I thought everything he did or said was incredible. A couple of decades later I was comfortable enough in my own skin to acknowledge I had a little high school crush on him.. Actually it was my wife who pointed it out to me. Life winds around you like a cat winds around your legs asking for a treat, always take the time to bend down and give your life a few pats.

This hits such a sweetspot of unsettling surrealism that it's actually somehow upsetting and will be the last thing I think of before falling into bendy-limbed dreams

Here’s to you Chris! I didn’t think your wedding gift to us would be a forever-argument about Ray’s favorite drupe in high school.

Is that Bonkers T. McQuack on the back of the photo album?

Chris, you’re very good to us. You’re absolutely nailing what you set out to do with these strips, AND you’re going out of your way to keep us topped up with material. Class move, player.

Wonder if he still has his high school pants?
