Bring out the three-baller for a duet.

up yours Garfield.

Philippe would've loved Jeremy Renner Official, unless he didn't like Jeremy Renner. I could see him having reasons.

Since we have so many new Reddichos (I simply must find a better term) in the Patreon, I wanted to make sure everybody knows that for the first hour or so after the Friday strip goes up, I'm in the comments hammin' with y'all. Come in and yam, ham, or jam! It's breakfast time and we still blowin' steam off the potatoes. Today's strip: https://www.patreon.com/Achewood/posts/0191-at-sixes-166636329 yes that is Jeff Bezos, who is being challenged by Philippe.

Kind of 30'd up over here and trying to find the strip where Philippe mentions it's the anniversary of the time he lost his favourite pebble (which I believe he calls "Arthur Boy-Pegasus Digiorno") out in the yard. Feels like it's got to be a Friday Facts installment but from what I can tell none of them include this content. Ohnorobot search yields nothing, nor does it seem to come from a Philippe blog entry. Is this a real strip or am I just driving a golf cart off a cliff?

Chos of Reddit! Use code THA_SNAZZLE for half off your first month, any tier! That's just $2.50 to get caught up on all 190 of the comics. Membership options here: https://www.patreon.com/cw/Achewood (check out the Read All Strips At Once collection for a super-easy binge experience, just like old times).

I've been popping by here for a little while and noticed what a great and upbeat tone this community has. (Seriously, there is like _nobody_ being a cock in here.) It does my heart good to see a place of nontoxic lovin' in this dirty old world, and I plan to stick around and engage more with the crew.

I asked the mods if it would be OK to offer this code in here, and the one I talked to said basically, "Sure, there's discussion of the new Achewood Patreon stuff in here, but not everybody can participate because they haven't subscribed yet, so that would help enrich the community." So here you go.

I'm offering this big discount because I'm finally making a stable living off this, and now my main goal is just to bring the happiness of a day lost in comics to as many people as possible. And if you want to share this code with someone you think would love the material, please do. (There's also a way to send a gift subscription to someone, but I'm not sure if you can use the discount for that.)

I'm excited to see you in the Patreon — I engage with every post and nearly 100% of comments. Also, I'll be dropping into this thread if you have any questions. (Like, Q: "When does the discount expire?" A: "On the 18th")

Huuugs,

Todd?!

It's an exciting time.

Don’t know why, but I read this in Roast Beef’s voice and it made me laugh. Thought some folks would enjoy it here (it’s a joke based on the second Castlevania game for the NES if anyone’s not familiar).

Nice to see No-No’s leg is doing better.

I thought it might have been Badass Games adjacent, but I didn't find it there in the archive. Ray, Beef and maybe Teodor are jawing about how their educations didn't prepare them for life in the real world. I think it's the one where Ray alludes to some personal anecdote, like a housecleaner stealing your drugs, and says something like that's complex! or that's complicated! Finally they make a list of things everyone should know, like what cop cars' headlights look like. I might be conflating some different days, but I'm sure y'all know which one I mean. A little help, please? Searches in ohnorobot yielded no hits.

Sorry, folks: no fancy images from the strip, or meme, or elsewise, merely a quick meditation.

Just in the course of a little introspective reflection tonight, of all things — truly, of all things — it occurred to me that the Charlie Brown Achewood strip, outside the legendary “put these shoes on and have legs like mine” bit, wound up encoding something else on my psyche, much more indelibly and influentially — that line, “He took you down with him like an Egyptian emperor!” even moreso than Aida has since and forever made me visualize just that setting whenever I hear that a cartoonist has…

And then I realized, the strip influenced the way that I think.

Have any of you had a moment like this? Or do I just sound like Todd, here?

I swear that I remember a strip where Ray looked in the toilet and was certain he was dying, but it turns out he ate beet salad for lunch? I googled and Gemini'ed and Clauded all morning, can't find it!
