Chris wasn't kidding calling them a catacombs so deep there ain't no goodbyes. My last full Achewood archive binge I finally read all of the blogs as well in chronological order and man some of Onstad's best character work is in there. Stuff like Ray's horrifying machete party just could not translate to the comic page.

Am I being weird by correlating Molly's decline as a character with Onstad's divorce and dark mental health period? I don't want to think Onstad would be as crass as to WIFE BAD his own webcomic but it's inarguable that by the end of Achewood's run Molly's purpose was to yell at Roast Beef.

I guess my issue with Molly as a character is that she has almost nothing in the comic that exists outside of Beef. She's either Beef's saving angel or a hellish shrew screeching in his ear. I agree that Roast Beef as a character is a representation of the realities of clinical depression, and Molly becoming progressively more frustrated with Beef's behavior is believable, but she doesn't get much of anything outside of how she responds to Beef's issues. This is also another great reason to read the blogs, because all of Molly's character (as well as Tina's, since the thread was just talking about her) is contained within her blog. And the thing is, her blog is by far my favorite of any of them! Onstad is actually really good at writing a woman character with a distinct voice and hilarious shenanigans! Molly having to deal with the insane management of the restaurants she's always shuffling between is hilarious and peak Achewood to me. I wish we could've seen more of that in the comic itself, I guess. Also, here is the future webcomic you requested!

You know what, I actually decided to go and take a look at all of Molly's appearances since the wedding arc, and she actually only bodily appears in nineteen comics out of three hundred and four - only 6.25% of comics have her in it! I don't expect Achewood of all comics to depict matrimonial happiness but Jesus Christ a lot of it really is that Roast Beef is a massive loving rear end in a top hat to her. I guess the most damning comic of them all was this one where Onstad makes his opinions on the Marital Question pretty clear.

The R I S O T T O on the counter is funny enough, but the fact that Teodor evidently trusted an idiotic five year old to somehow prepare risotto is the real highlight of that arc.

Chas McGill posted:I can't remember - did Cornelius have any interactions with Ray's dad? Browsing through the archives it looks like the answer is no, which is a huge missed opportunity. Ramses got a bunch of great interaction moments with most of the cast during the wedding plotline but him talking to Cornelius just didn't happen.

drrockso20 posted:Rod was a nice addition to the cast if for nothing else than the fact that he helps ground Pat and soften some of his worst tendencies, at least from my recollection of my last complete read through of just the comics, haven't reached that point on my current one where I'm reading the blogs too so it's possible I could be wrong(much like how reading the blogs as well has completely changed how I look at Tina as a character or how it gives Molly a lot more depth) My favorite thing in Achewood in all together probably is the one act play where Pat and Rod go in a date. It's great to see Pat actually in a good mood and not being a total rear end in a top hat while still maintaining a slight douche edge. Great character writing.

I like how Pat, though he understands the severity of the Magreaux dog and is completely sympathetic, is still being an rear end in a top hat by bringing up having to prepare for Ray's death. You just know he's thinking about Ray's fortune. The subtler ways Pat is a cock is where he shines.

Scags McDouglas posted:I was thinking about it and some of my favorite moments are when two characters only have a single interaction in the whole series. Because there's no precedent, there's no way to predict how it turns out but it seems natural in retrospect. See also Ramses and Iorweth embarassing themselves over a stand mixer, Lyle and Vlad going out during the GOF to fight in the yard, Teodor getting a boner while hugging Molly, all classic moments.

The guy at the register was older, the kind of guy who likely took the job part-time out of boredom after 6 months of retirement, and was probably just looking to hassle the boisterous kids who interrupted his otherwise quiet afternoon shift. "The back of your shirt says you're depressed! I don't know if it's wise for me to sell alcohol to somebody who goes around advertising that kind of thing."

Ray asks Beef a single question about what bitcoin is and ignores Beef's detailed answer on why it's for idiots and destroys the environment and Ray cashes out right when it hit 12 e; More likely is that Ray remembers he bought 50 bitcoins in 2010 and hearing Beef say they "waste hell of electricity" motivates him to cash out, causing the major bitcoin crash Youremother fucked around with this message at 21:55 on Apr 11, 2023 |
