I don't think I have to meet the once Mrs Onstad to deduce that she was probably a crafty lady

 Even if you haven't seen the previous strip, that panel tells a story.

The cavalier treatment of death and rebirth in Achewood kind of bothered me until I decided the whole strip is set in the Tibetan Bardo, the liminal state between life and death where souls await reincarnation. ...but I'm weird and I don't think anyone else has this problem.

I don't think we see Todd after Ray finds out about the GOF in that arc, and I like to think he got really pissed that Ray abandoned his dream phone nutsack company.

I like how Ray got involved with the company for like a day, and then completely changed its mission. He does that often, too. As for Todd, I bet he was so furious that he almost got himself hospitalized again, and then saw the part where Ray tore a face off some guy.

Even though it's not the funniest, I still think of this as an early Beef classic. There's scarcely a day goes when the phrase "giant apocalyptic machinery, just mowing us all down" doesn't come to my mind. This from two strips further on is pretty much the perfect combination of strip and alt text.  It is the angriest a person can be, to do this

So, what are some things in Achewood that never got explored, but you would like to know more? I would like to see some flashback strips with Pat, and pat's dad during their traveling act days. There is plenty of material, what with the sister we've never seen, and what happened to the mother?

My favorite Achewood is a rotation of about a hundred strips. It just depends on which one I've recently read.

THe best part of that is the "Sorry, mom." Of course Ray's talking about how sharp helicopter blades should be with his mom. It's probably Chablis o'clock.
