"The dude is from circumstances" was so immediately relateable to me and my friends in college that we've all always said it. I'll be getting my memorial Achewood tattoo this year, and i look forward to Onstadt's fervent disapproval when I tweet it at him.

Onstadt is scrolling through his master file, weeping tears of organic syrup, mumbling "what hath I wrought" while earnestly pondering a high end sandwich

Yo make sure you adopt the Roast Beef 'from circumstances" but Ray should be a purebred spoiled brat kitten. Please, though, do not force your cat to wear a thong. please. please

My life goal is to be Lyle in my 20's, Teodor in my 30's, Ray in my 40's, and Cornelius until I can ride off into the sunset on The Olde Schoole (with Airwolf providing cover)

I just want to be able to cook like Teodor and the "c'mon MEG WHITE show me her NAKED!" Is a very real depiction of my relationship with the redhead on Madmen. Teodor is also the realist person in the strip. Ray, RB, they are all high maintenance weird friends who require some special behavior, Teodor is just like a dude you might become bros with and then all of a sudden it's been 5 years and he's the best man at your wedding.

"I guess by not g-g-givin' a poo poo." Is a landmark moment in my laughing at something stupid career, but Roast Beef's line about Todd being the STD equivalent of a bold and exciting new pianist or something is probably in the top 5 funniest written lines in all of Achewood. I feel like Ray is high maintenance in a Peter Griffin "rope all my friends into week long hijinx and constantly dragging them around to do dumb expensive bullshit". When he isn't sleeping for 36 hours he is starting a buisiness with you or trying to steal your girlfriend or inventing a mojito-hot pocket franchise

A Tale of Woe: I used to own a copy of "A Home for Scared People" I loaned it to a person. I will never get it back. I bought it for $8 used on Amazon. It is now $55-$65 everywhere because it is out of print. My copies of "The Great Outdoor Fight" and "Worst Song, Played on Ugliest Guitar" weep on the shelves. So yeah if anyone has one or sees one in a used bookstore, i'll pay for shipping and buy you a platinum upgrade for the help. Also: Never ever ever loan out good books to lovely people.

What’s the deal with the blogs and premium content? I only got into Achewood theougha friend and it was years later that I found out I only got like half the story. Is it a paid thing like a Patreon or can I just read through archives?

I came to that conclusion some months ago and a helpful goon offered a bookstore in Portland that had some used copies for cheap. I’ll try and dig up the link

It’s pretty badass that I saw that and the first thing I pictured was a half-white painted Todd in the backyard getting hosed down by Lionel and Teodor while they are both sobbing uncontrollably with laughter while Todd tells them to both “P-p-p-piss the frick off!”

Teodor asleep at the keyboard with "Meg White c'mon SHOW ME HER NAKED" left in his google search bar is about as close to seeing a man's soul laid bare as you can get in a webcomic

Yeah but the other part of it is that many of us laughed at the racist humor while being stoned in our dorms and apartments. Nobody gives a poo poo... because it was funny... and honestly, some of it still is! Like if you stand far back enough, calling it “Mexican Magical Realism” is kinda racist.

In earnest, while I will always love Air Wolf, the arc where they balance an egg on their weird underpants to achieve enlightenment still causes spontaneous fits in me, and Teodor’s line about all his plans being invalid because he made them in a previous life with different ethos is one of the top 3 panels in the strip.

As an East Coast White guy from Philly I was pretty shocked at the level of casual racism I encountered in California, from San Francisco to Sacramento, in most of the headiest people I encountered, so this checks out.

Same, except every time I buy and consume a grocery store rotisserie chicken. Sometimes when we’re eating it I just burst out laughing and my girlfriend will go “what, whAt! What is SO FUNNY!” and I just can’t explain it to her.

There was a really weird Zach Parsons SA front page article from like 15+ years ago about a fat bald gross dude who finds like an alien in his backyard that looks like a football with a vagina and he, being lonely and gross, fucks it until the Men In Black show up to collect it. Afterwards he theorizes that maybe this is where Popes and geniuses come from, just alien super entities that require a thin veneer of Human DNA to get started and become the best of us. Anyway that piece of writing really stuck with me and as I grew up I realized I slowly replaced the man in that story with Teodor.

Achewood is like any other friends I was super tight with in my 20’s: they were some great times, but you can’t just keep doing the same poo poo forever. No one wanted Achewood to become The Simpsons. It’s ok to be done.
