There comes a time. I watched those animated shorts the other day and, well, I dunno. It's strange more than anything to hear the characters voiced at all; I never once pondered what real person any given character would/should sound like, and hearing actual voices come out of them...it doesn't exactly weird me out, but I'm not sure I personally care for the idea of an animated or otherwise non-comic Achewood. Different strokes and all that. That said, towards the (apparent) end of the comic's run it was easy to get the impression Onstad had pretty much exploited that medium for all its worth, so if he wants to try something different, who can blame him? An animated show could well reach a lot of people who wouldn't give the comic the time of day or simply are unaware of its existence, and that's probably better than nothing.

"He said 'human being' the way old telegrams said STOP" is both one of my favourite Achewoodisms and one I thought would come in handy far more often than it actually has to date, i.e. not at all. Maybe that's a good thing in itself, though.

It would appear to me that if you do not dig on janky jams then a restaurant called Jazz Brunch is not a sensible place to be.

Yeah, that English sounds a little too broken even for Vlad. I'll admit that "fragile pudding of baby" made me chuckle, though.

And as always, Todd is left out in the cold. That really is representative of Todd as a whole, though, come to think of it. Edit: well, there was his Sensible Todd phase, but we all knew where that got him. He's just a crappy little bullshit man, I guess. MMAgCh fucked around with this message at 16:36 on Dec 15, 2013 |

He's probably just worried he'd run into Trouble Man and No–No again, and who could blame him really? No–No murdered him when he was already dead. That's like, double death. Beef won't take well to that.

Pretty sure that was the MANDRAKE ROOT, and that if she is a down girl she will eat Dudemeal. I too can't find that loving strip though—doesn't seem to be transcribed on that Ohnorobot site for some strange reason (despite claiming that it searches 100% of Achewood comics).

The Miracle on the Hudson was that Sullenberger managed to both shoot the crook in the driving leg and miss the stolen jewels. That may not sound like much but try it sometime.
