I remember when we were all following along at the time and nobody had any clue what was going to happen next (and boy looking back there were some retarded theories) and the panicked rush to see if the strip had updated every time a new post was made in the thread. Good time, good times. I'm glad I wasn't reading when the Secret Ice Cream Shoppe storyline was going on though, because I don't think my heart could have taken it.

Teodor's middle-class conservative family values are carried only as cargo from his own adolescence, not built up through own experience. So his misguided sense of an otter's true home is what got punched in the erection and fell to the floor with a slide whistle sound.

Hmm. Well, this arc, while not my favorite, is a great demonstration of the primary reason I keep reading the comic; the bits that aren't outright punch-lines, but just have the rhythm of a conversation or a situation absolutely pitch-perfect. It has been years since I experienced the awkwardness of visiting an elderly relative with no clear idea of what constitutes entertainment or, indeed, nourishment. The last few sad strips have been absolutely true to those times. Truly, my sense of filial piety has been comically nut-punched, as so much else.

Yes her house was covered in creepy dolls and furniture you couldn't touch. But she was smart enough to buy a motherfucking Master System as soon as her grandkids were old enough to play it.

Onstad, I am so happy that you are at Renn Fayre this weekend. A man who has tasted as many different kinds of bacon as you have is truly qualified to be involved in the Meat Smoke.

Every month or so we get people complaining about having strips spoiled by visiting the thread before Achewood proper, even with sirens. If there's a post jump in this thread, just check for a new script before hitting this up.

The bear is teaching us that you can't go home again. He drops truth like a clumsy waiter drops plates. I remember the first time I visited my folks after getting out of college and sleeping in my old room, which they had since "fixed up" into a guest room. I couldn't begrudge them that because hey, it's their house and I no longer lived there, but the feeling of being a guest in your own room (with new and unfamiliar wallpaper, curtains and even unfamiliar bed sheets and blankets) is incredibly disheartening. Poor little otter. It's a tough fact to face but you must face it eventually.

I remember coming into the realization that it wasn't my room anymore when I was packing to leave. I spent probably 10 years getting that room the way I liked it and it'll never be that way again. Since then, my rooms changed every year.

I dont care which way my bed faces anymore, or whats on the wall exactly where my eyes will hit it at certain times, but man back in my room growing up, things was different.

With this room I opted to put a lot of posters up (I'm 22 leave me alone) and try and get that feel back. Its there, a little, but its missing the mark my brother's elbow made when I pushed him into a wall, the old thumb tack holes where posters were before I moved them and moved them again, the glow in the dark stars I put on the ceiling when I was in fourth grade, and the electric candles my dad puts in the windows every year at Christmas time. Theres also the test painting spot on the ceiling from when I was helping mom paint it before the room got renovated. Goddamn I miss my room

My step-mom reminds me that I can "eat whatever I want from the fridge" every time I visit. I know that. It's been that way since 1989. Having to be told I could eat their food when I was 19 made me realize I had become a guest. Is it always about food? E: Comma usage...

I had a bizarre twist in my coming home story. Both my parents worked long hours when I was little so food was always sub-par. My childhood was filled with runny boxes of mac and cheese, painfully dry pork chops, and tasteless vegetables. I had to move back home after I was laid off only to find that my Mom had transformed into a good cook. The first night back she made quiche! The best quiche I had ever eaten! This is the same woman that once burned spaghetti! To this day I still don't know what the gently caress

None of my parents still reside in any of my childhood homes. Staying with my mother involves delicious french toast I can never seem to get right myself. Staying with my dad involves alcohol and dirty jokes. So the essence of my childhood still comes through, though. Except for the alcohol. That's a bonus.
