Aw man someone already made the spreadable dick medicine joke.

As they say, always the spreadable dick medicine, never the dog dick.

who... who says that
i must know

I don't think it's past its expiration date. Take a close look at what you can see of the last digit in panel 3; that loop doesn't look like it could plausibly be the top of anything but an 8, 9, or 0. If it were a 2 or 3, the right side would already be starting to curve in more, and if it were a 6 we'd be able to see the end.

In other words, if it's expired, it's at least a year older than Achewood itself.

not any arabic letter/numeral i can think of. what i see is a striking resemblance to a lone sperm...

I cannot chubby you. : (

That's Stephen Fry dogg

sure is, but its nice that robot from buck rogers knows who Serafinowicz is, he's pretty damn funny (particularly his michael caine impression)

Peter Serafinowicz is the only man I know of who could only ever speak in bold letters. I'M NOT A MONSTER, TIM.

I'd be inclined to say that Brian Blessed speaks in bold too.

People should quote Spaced more often

It's a fantastic programme. it shows you can have a pop culture reference a minute whilst still being clever and laugh out loud funny, something a lo of other attempts have largely failed at.

Oh lord I am sorry. I've just been watching a lot of Spaced and Look Around You reruns lately, so I'm sort of seeing Peter's face everywhere. :(

I lamed you, and I'm sorry. I can see it.

chubbied for the avatar as well as the comment velvetpresley, always nice to find another fan of "Newcy broon".

And yes, I know thats a hebrew letter. It just looked like a grin (it's a tet to be precise.)

Day-um! Atah medaber b'ivrit?

At ba'ah m'Yisrael?

No, no, no, nothing like that. I've just been studying it for the past three years or so. I'm nowhere near fluent. I started taking it because I wanted something more challenging than Spanish, in which I actually am fluent, but it turns out that Hebrew is motherfucking KASHE.

At ba'ah m'yisrael, yelda-chatula?

Hey! Respect the matzoh!

The words are going the wrong direction! I feel dizzy....

BLANNEL MARRY TREEE ALLOW ME TO TRY TO BE ALIVEEEE IN YOUUUUU

PAIN LOVE FUCK MUNNIE/IT'S OKAYY TO TRY IT BUT PLEASE LET ME BE

Virtual chubby.

Yes, virtual chubby. Enjoy.

I thought it was the handle to a drawer. You know, those ones with the sliders that control the temperature.

This is Achewood. How likely is that, really?

yeah, I changed my mind when I considered the respective likelihoods of a) the handle being placed there and b) Teodor's scrotum being placed there.

flu ... not flue. Typo.

dude, the bottles were too high, he couldn't see. Also, you've clearly never woken and immediately fallen into a blind panic about something. Dude wasn't paying attention, to hilarious results. The real question is, if dog dick medicine tastes spicy like Horseradish, how does a dog abide it on his dick?

Virtual chubbyyyyyyyyy!

Ford is correct.

Have you never experienced a morning in which the first words out of your mouth were, "FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK?" The last time I woke up very late for work, I basically broke everything in my room looking for a goddamned belt. I was throwing everything looking for this belt. I'm pretty sure I ever threw the belt, itself, a few times.

These sorts of things happen on these sorts of mornings.

I would say that you're being way too critical. I would say that, but I won't, 'cause it's you opinion to use as you wish.

I think this is an above average strip.

This one would make complete sense to me if it weren't for the part where the guy gets angry because it tastes like dog penis medicine (how does he know?) and then is cool with it when his suspicions are confirmed.

The rest of the strip I can unfortunately relate to all too well.

The part you're referring to, when the construction worker identifies the taste, happens only in Teodor's mind.

Try it now.

Yeah, I can see that, but there's just something about the phrasing in that panel that makes it not work that way for me. Dunno what to tell you.

*sigh*

The panel with the gray background occurs within Teodor's (gray) thought bubble in the prior panel. The worker dude never identifies the taste of dog dick balm, this is just Teodor projecting the worst-case scenario onto the future with his mind.

Yeah, I know, as I said, it's the phrasing, not the artwork. Something about it bugs me. Can't roll with it. Damn you, thoughts! Make the comic work!

I'm gonna grab you by the shoulders and just shake you until you realize that this is the funniest strip ever.

The shaking doesn't help...oh, how I wish it did...

I want to pretend I knew that all along, but I did not. Thank you for making this comic work for me. CHUBBIED

Shit, there were three amigos?

Wait, you can walk out of a theater? You mean I didn't have to sit through all of Monkeybone?

The fuckin' stars didn't sit through all of Monkeybone, man.

You guys are on penis medicine. Monkeybone was good.

Normally I would disagree, but the tidy involvement of the penis medicine motif has left me with no rebuttal. Well-played, sir.

Relax, paperboy. Bet the whole story idea started by noticing just how easy real world examples of the above products would be to confuse, not the other way around. It is likely the MOST plausible part of the strip.

And Three Amigos was intentional camp. The expectations are a little different. It is actually harder to write something that works as well as that movie does while remaining firmly planted in the most obvious and unlikely circumstances than it looks. Not your cup o' noodles? Don't blame the movie! As camp goes, it was first rate.

To the rest of you, I must confess feeling >cough< uncomfortable with Monkeybone making an entrance in comment on a strip about penis medicine. I'm at a loss for words....

Not me; I set aside a certain amount every day in a clean glass jar on top of the refrigerator and, when the end of the month draws nigh; I withdraw the correct amount for rent with a smug little flourish.

I'm sorry, I seem to have forgotten to take my dog-penis medicine today. My condition has come out of recession.

"...but that's not why we do it."

Man, you know Onstad wound up having to buy the most ridiculous medicine ever, then took it home, looked at it, and thought, "Well, I do write a comic strip. Aren't I REQUIRED to do one about this crazy shit?"

Voila.

My only thought: So, just how does he know what it tastes like?

Please, don't answer that.

you know I like the idea but the presentation is wrong. Emulation of a characters speech is so pasee.

how is lyle more responsible than teodor? or is this just an opportunity for him to be mean?

I think Teodor is getting depression. I'm worried about the little bear.

he doesn't even care about wobbling his blobby little naked form around the house anymore.

Do not worry, someone with depression would not react so quickly & with inspiration to solve the problem of non-rent-money. They might in fact get out of bed quickly, but only to sneak out of the house undetected and spend all day in the library or even bookshop (if it has armchairs) reading all of Sandman again.

Oh my God, that's how I spent my Saturday.

My favorite part of that sequence is when Gob is talking about how the Sword of Destiny must have been put there by fate and then when the Chinese guy tells him about the ancient tale of warning he goes, "Yeah yeah yeah, I make up my own path, just ring it up with the Dong Tea."

I pee when that happens.

Also when he impresses Michael with the sword, sheaths it and seemingly drives it right through his thigh or something.
"Forget George Michael! I'll buy you a million George Michaels you can teach how to drive!"
"You're losing a lot of blood, aren't you?"
"I think so, my socks are wet."

(Gob rolls up on his Segue)
"Michael, I was looking for you..."
"Looks like you were looking for dragons Gob...in the future."

I would love to shop at Ancient Chinese Secret

Ancient Chinese Secret, huh?

I walked right into that

Sadly, it is not a stainless steel bear trap of the kind that necessitates the removal of your gangrenous shin. Count yourself lucky, sir/madam.

Are you suggesting it is not medicine for a dog's penis, but rather medicine made from dog's penis? What ailment could possibly be treated with such a remedy?

Looks like the Achewood Generator now allows Teodor to be the main character.

ha ha ha ha ha ha

The one lame is asmodi.

Rick is actually Mike from the "Best of Hot Tub Brawls" DVD

Good call up until the fact that Rick is an allusionary dog. The fellow is named Klein here.

Wait, no, smack me. Klein's his rich cousin. The worker is unnamed. I'm in a Teodorian state of wakefulness right now.

Chubby for being Batman.
