Nessus posted:I think at this point Lyle and Teodor would be renting out an above-ground crypt in Colma and commuting to their lovely restaurant job/unemployment Am I the only one who can see Lyle being creeped out by the idea of being in a crypt, much to the surprise of those around him?

I feel like Ray would probably be cool with helping Teodor out but I'm not convinced he wouldn't eject Lyle.

Wanderer posted:I don't know if it's still there, or remember its name, but there was a Mexican party restaurant in St. Joseph, Missouri in the 2000s that was absolutely the sort of place that would've tried to give you a Fiesta Name. All-Caucasian spins on Mexican-American cuisine, where their opening gambit was to stun you with a half-gallon frozen margarita so you don't notice the nachos are mid. was it one of those Irish/Mexican places like Carlos O'Kelly's or Juan O'Shea's those are mostly gone now but they seemed to exist as the spearhead of mainstreaming mexican food in the 1960s/70s

He probably wouldn't want Lyle living in the mansion proper(cause Hygiene is a Maybe at best with him) but would probably use helping out a friend as an excuse to add another building to his estate to house one of his quirky rich people interests(I could see Ray being one of those people who wants a period accurate place from their childhood recreated for them to goof around in whenever they want, like a video store or arcade or something)

I just want to say that I miss Achewood very, very much. If Patreon existed when Onstad was doing the strip things might've worked out financially. I'm sure he's content to just leave it in the past, and it probably reminds him of his Darker Times, which is too bad for us, the audience. But he doesn't owe the audience anything (cookbook 2 joke goes here) as an artist, I get that, but I do feel a little sad that it's almost certainly over.

Pretty much, except in Ray's case he'd have like an entire late 80's to early 90's shopping center in a garage Bismack Billabongo posted:Lyle and Ray formed a joint company together and you’re gonna tell me Ray wouldn’t let him crash in lil neffs old room??

You could get a pretty good story arc out of Ray's abrupt realization that, due to his consistent ability to forget his house has a west wing, he's ended up running a boarding house for the working poor of Achewood County for the better part of the last 12 years. Peanut Butler posted:was it one of those Irish/Mexican places like Carlos O'Kelly's or Juan O'Shea's Carlos O'Kelly's sounds really familiar, but a Google search turned up a place called La Mesa which matches my memory of the interior design.

Cut to panels of him doing a mix of  and  as various newspaper articles and mainstream current affairs shows run editorials about how he is what's right about this country, dammit. The President calls his mother to congratulate her on such a good job. Renewed interest in his music as a result of the good publicity sees him make another 6 billion dollars.

Yeah, I don't think the finances are what made him stop for good. I just wish he would get the Complete Canon out there, but I'm pretty sure the holdup with that is more that Oni Press is a raging tire fire that a hobo took a dump in the last year

I wouldn’t mind a capper that’s like under 10 strips. Much-later endings are usually interesting even if they aren’t good, what’s been kicking around in a creator’s head for years isn’t always what you’d expect

ManiacClown posted:Something tells me Cornelius exceeded those heights decades ago and hearing about those exploits would only instill in Lyle an existential crisis, wondering what the point of his life even is if he has to live up to that. I mean, we know that Cornelius spent some time playing in an experimental band in his youth, one that did controversial things like play in 15/23rd time and shower together. And that then after college he spent some time in the southern Californian desert, eating plants “that your parents despise and (realizing) that you are fantastic”. And he soundly beat Lyle in the Badass Games, be it in the kitchen or passing muster with Miami and Magnus Intactus—but that might be more of an innate style thing than explicit proof of experience
