I always imagined Roast Beef as not only being low-key like Onstad's performance, but also being almost (but not quite) monotone. That said I can see how that might not play well on TV so I'm okay with the way Onstad played him.

Oddly enough, this strip is pretty representative of the kind of Ray dialogue that I can't see coming out of that Toby Huss voice at all, particularly the "Cold have a peter in your mouth" line.

EVA BRAUN BLOWJOBS posted:I never got the "Cold have a peter in your mouth" line. What am I missing? Garfield sucks the dick. Cold being like, ... gently caress. How the gently caress do I describe that usage of the word cold? It usually applies to being caught cold, like as a boxing term for getting busted in the face I believe.

Replace "cold" with "straight up" or something like that, it's about the same in this context.

I'm having trouble defining it precisely but I read it as "absolutely" in this context. Garfield absolutely has a peter in his mouth. e: "straight up" works too!

He has wept as grainy footage of pigtailed progeny yet unborn lapped at the backs of his pupils. The scent of spade-work lingers in his olfactory bulbs. He knows his own punchline, and that ruins the joke." owns so much it hurts.

The Beastie Boys were known to use the word "cold" in that context early in their career. I can't think of any examples off the top of my head though.

It means he doesn't doesn't warm the penis up with such as a hot towel before fellating it, as is widely considered courteous. He's saying that Garfield is quite rude.

What makes the comic even funnier to me is that Garfield actually shows up later in the strip, but in a more sympathetic context: http://achewood.com/index.php?date=11302007 Ray is ruuuuude. The Perky Pervert / Nolan plotline was kind of forgettable but the dialogue in the opening strip slays me for some reason: http://achewood.com/index.php?date=11292007 "It's neat!

Sydney Bottocks posted:Another of my favorites for some odd reason: The strip after this has Lyle staggering in fresh from his trip to Scotland, with the alt text noting that he picked up some manners. If I remember right, this is in reference to the pretty amazing,"Lyle ends up sober in a Scottish Girl's Finishing School" storyline that was only ever seen in Lyle's blog, and not referenced anywhere else in the strip itself? Kind of like how Roast Beef and Molly reestablished their relationship in that blog post where Molly details being depressed on Christmas and Beef shows up and basically saving the day?

Man, I don't know what to think about Ray's voice. On one hand, I guess it has the appropriate swagger, but something's still weird about it. I don't mind the voice itself, but I feel like the cadence is off. Ray always sounded like a grown-up frat boy in my mind, and Toby Huss Ray speaks waayyy too slowly for that. Imagine this strip in the cartoon Ray's voice. It's weird. http://achewood.com/index.php?date=08202007

It's worth remembering what the Simpsons sounded like during the Tracey Ullman days, which this is sort of comparable to. Note how it's stiff and slow and Homer sounds wrong. Also it's not very funny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V51kjyVY5bo

Vlad should be played by someone who can do a close approximation of Boris Badenov. It's only appropriate.

I'm really in a mood to re-read it all for the 8th time or so, but drat if achewood doesn't have the worst layout for mobile. Every time I try to go to the next comic I hit the banner and go to the e-book page, or the comic itself which now just reloads the page.

Achewood doesn't generally celebrate misogyny or try and justify misogyny or even attempt to make characters look cool/right/good for saying misogynistic things. It doesn't even seem to have the problems with male gaze and awful one-dimensional female personalities that most webcomics seem to have in spades. I wasn't aware this was a problem anybody had with the strip.

Wasn't there a webcomic, I think Cat and Girl, that was like "Rarer than a strong female character in Achewood" and the other person started to say Molly but the first one said "Molly's just a prop for Roast Beef." Achewood's definitely a comic that doesn't pass the Bechdel test.

"Look at how people are portrayed in comic strips. The women are indecisive whiners, nagging shrews, and bimbos! And the men are no better. They're befuddled morons, heavy drinkers, gluttons, and lazy goof-offs! Everyone is incompetent, unappreciated, and successful! What kind of insidious social programming is this?! No wonder the world is such a mess! I demand politically correct, morally uplifting role models in the funnies!" "Yes, we all know how funny good role models are." "And look, all the kids are obnoxious brats!"
