"You got to have boundaries in important relationships, and that includes your relationship with reality." is mine from this one

it gets us all in the end

Miiiike Walker

I was thinking the same, kinda Thomas Sankara vibes 👀

Never mind, forget I said anything

RB's circumstances may leave him with a certain immunity to Mexican Magical Realism. or maybe it would make him even more susceptible to it, like that dude you know who has always been pretty much acceptable, but then you find out he doesn't believe in the moon landing and now his his hobby of collecting old school monster movies on blu ray doesn't seem as innocuous anymore.

Lynsey McCoskey

And this is when I realize that I've assumed, for years, that it's just Antoine.

Chris Lamb

Who among us has not enjoyed a sudden windfall, only to have it snatched away by the indecency people?

Chris Onstad

There aren't a lot of ladybug garment decorations in Achewood. The connection is fair game.

Hunter

I was mistaken, but it still evoked a mental connection. Layers have always been a part of this.

It is possible Google Image Search returned the same bug in 2024 as in...2006 or whenever the first bug was needed. But it was not copied from that original strip. Good callback, I had forgotten about that.

Hunter

Is that the same bug from 'so what if a tit is food? I ain't buggin''

Bungus Bronbo

Showering with a hat on is a golden detail that I missed until this comment, thank you

Oppido

Also, "came-with-the-frame" as an insult is gold, or even some metal beyond gold, like bismuth.

Oppido

Fittingly, one of the only other Achewood installments I can recall that was basically a long volley of dialogue with a handful of images was the 12/18/06 strip where we first learned the real depths of Antonyne's backstory.

Daniel Grieff

He looks like he was in Manic Street Preachers.

The hat implies he's been doing some Reading

Don't you tell Chris Onstad of all people what to do with the form

kdusjjdhxksj

It is free from its own perspective, but lost to those on the ground

Been a long time since I smoked a cig in the shower. It's good. I never tried it with a hat on

A balloon without a string is shot down by the air national guard

Gosh what a treat!

"...a requirement of, but strong case against, survival." Well, there's yet another in the long string of "Phrases and sentences from Achewood that I am no longer the same after reading". (One wonders if childbirth meets the same description.)

Dan Gibbins

I do! I DO enjoy the Great Outdoor Fight! Enough that a decade back I wrote a short play/long poem inspired by it. Loved the mega-update, that's some good intergenerational Smuckles drama.

Jay Williams

[edit] Well, shit- I had a great comment after reading the panel (involving clandestine gay party trips to Cuba) that was immediate obviated when I read the pdf. The perils of showing one’s ass too soon, I suppose…

Ryan Boyle

Here they come. Here come the bastards

*Point of order, is Antonyne's name pronounced ant-oh-nine ? Apologies if this has been clarified before..

Julie (HiDeeHoGal)

My takeaway: Cognitive flexibility is key, change is inevitable, and Beef has a lil bit of self-esteem? Or is his shirt ironic? Also continue to love the turns of phrase.

J Hardy Carroll

yung skittles

It did make me go reread it

Shepton

Shit. Is a balloon without a string free, or is it lost? These fellas are doing philosophy.

b.zap

Les is more!

Oh hey, I just realized (while scrolling through the GOF), if a blog updated on a different day than a comic was posted, the blog wouldn't show up on the Achewood site. Like, because there was a comic on 1/27/2006 and the next update was on 1/31/2006, Phillipe's "Good Communism Today!" blog post on 1/30/2006 doesn't show up under a comic. Not exactly a problem, just some blog posts might be missed.
