I love the seemingly Requiem for a Dream like sequence. On top of a Joy Division reference, this strip is golden.

Continuity makes this strip golden, in my book.

Nice catch!

I agree, brilliant recall memory.

When I started reading through the archives for the first time, I came across that strip and wondered. So I skipped ahead and here it was, plain as anything. It was possibly at that moment that I fell in love.

Ever since December 28th, 2001, Onstad has had a post-it on his computer that said "April 29 2005 kill Teodore"

Oh, god. I just needed to chime in and say how awesome this is. It's December 11, 2009, and I was just reading the 2001 comic and decided to check it out here, and I'm just so happy about it!

it's the death rollerskate. it was there when pat shot cornelius. there are possibly earlier instances.

Yeah, I noticed that. The rollerskate is a harbinger of doom.

The rollerskate is Kara Thrace.

Ray slipped on that rollerskate (which appeared out of nowhere) when he shot Beef the time that it resulted in a passable wireless internet connection.

AHH why can't we edit / delete comments :( And why is this text-entry box so small. Let me try again...

Oh
yes there are!
quinlaenar » pro 1 years ago
Is it bad that my first thought was "Damnit, now I have to work!" when I had to read through the strip to find the death rollerskate in that one?
rizzle » neu 1 years ago
I can not stop thinking about this roller skate thing. It's starting to feel like a certain movie starring Russel Crowe, reading through comics, pasting printouts all over the wall in a hut in the woods.
fancyrat » neu 4 months ago
Took me far longer than I'd like to admit to find the last one. Genius on Onstad's part, though.
pogo » neu 1 years ago
>>AHH why can't we edit/delete comments?<<

To make us more careful, I guess. I work offline with URLs and such first, then paste them in.
pogo » neu 1 years ago
>>And why is this text-entry box so small?<<

Maybe you need a bigger monitor? Anyway, again, if you work offline, you can then paste any amount of shit in the box.
dracer2 » neu 3 weeks ago
There is no rollerskate involved when:

-Beef dies by vomiting on an electrical socket
-Beef gets high and drives a golf cart off a cliff
-Trouble Man and No-No murder Beef in 'heaven.'

Maybe it's only shooting deaths? Shooting and rollerskate/frenchfry deaths?
peppermint » neu 2 years ago
I thinnk choking on a bottlecap a squirrel threw at you while watching BREAST ATTACK ON FUCK MOUNTAIN is pretty well the least dignified way to die.
zem » neu 2 years ago
but also the most awesome? maybe there's an inverse relationship there.
flynn » neu 2 years ago
In the proof of this equation the number of beers dudes raise in your honor is factored in somehow.

I suppose you could somehow do it while going to the bathroom, and then fall off the toilet in death. There's a cheerful sight for your next of kin.

At least your bowels will be empty already. It ain't the same after you see another mans stew.

Don't forget that he gets kicked by a drunk shortly after he keels over. Even Beef's funeral service was more dignified than this.

I can't believe I never put that together.

Also, Grolsch does not have twist off caps, but that appears to be what T is doing. Maybe he was pumped up for Breast Attack, though.
soticoto » neu 1 years ago
Teodor is toting wicked sack. He can twist off a bottle-cap with his bare hands.

I find the roll of toilet paper on the coffee table a touch suggestive.

Grolsch does the same thing to me, every time.

Seriously, you can actually taste it burn the mucus off your throat.

Instant 5 for following through with LieBot's death prediction.

That is hell of a good song that Teodor is playing.
i_love_kate » neu 8 months ago
Bad covers of that song actually send me into a berserker rage. I spontaneously sprout armour and a battleaxe. I mean it. Try me, sometime.
atticusonline » neu 7 months ago
I usually just get pissed and throw bottle caps into people's mouths.
judahnielsen » pro 2 years ago
I kinda wish there was such a movie as Breast attack on Fuck mountain.
natashamarie » pro 2 years ago
There may be.. I distinctly remember this from my childhood. There was a babysitter at my friends' house and they were watching a movie (presumably "hidden") in which there was a large breast in a mountain surrounding rolling around and attacking people.
dzieger » neu 2 years ago
That was probably Woody Allen's "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex (But Were Afraid to Ask)," which includes a sequence where a giant breast -- created by a mad scientist) goes on a rampage. Eventually, it is captured by the army's secret weapon, a giant bra. (No, it's not as stupid as it sounds. It's even stupider). A generous helping of classic W.A. one-liners saves the sequence.

The highlight of the film is the final vignette, which illustrates what happens inside the mind and body during sex, by way of a high-tech control room in the brain, and other internal imagined as industrial settings. Allen plays a sperm cell filled with existential angst at the prospect of his upcoming mission.

"Allen plays a ______ filled with existential angst at the prospect of _______" is basically the summary of every Woody Allen movie.

I recently made a personality quiz about myself. Out of ten mutiple choice questions, "Breast Attack on Fuck Mountain" was a possible answer for five of them. (Favourite fictional movie, favourite webcomic, favourite movie, favourite school of philosophy, one weakness)

Man, it is cool that you like Achewood so much but I am starting to feel uncomfortable about how much I know about your life from reading all these comments

Not even thw viewers. The attack was so brutal, it shattered the fourth wall.

As a side note, it's fantastic that I went to a website to search "breast fuck mountain" and found what I was looking for on the first hit.

The internet has its goddamn priorities straight.

Man, Google's 1st page searching for breast attack on fuck mountain returns 10 achewood references... and one "removed result" for child porn.

I sometimes like to think that he was not playing the Joy Division version, but the Swans cover.
fineoakstructure » neu 1 years ago
Eh, I doubt it. let's face it, T is supposedly big on the Smiths and the Cure; Joy Division completes that quasi-Goth starter kit triumverate that's normally a big part of many 15 year olds' lives.
ttagxamm » neu 1 years ago
Easy now, mind the dismissive tone. My teenage affection for The Smiths and The Cure has waned, but I appreciate Joy Division more now.

However, I agree that Teodor doesn't seem like a Swans fan. There's no shortage of other versions of the song, everything from Portuguese metal to Tuvan throat singing, alt country to dub...and even a version by The Cure.
fineoakstructure » neu 1 years ago
Oh, sorry, I wasn't trying to dis Joy Division. Out of said triumverate, they're the only ones I've ever really liked. But, as a triple grouping, those bands having an important part in your life normally denote a learner's permit, unwarranted melodrama, and a now inarguablely complete set of pubics.
rotavele » pro 1 years ago
That dang roller-skate has seen the death of so many animals now.

This strip also shows that humour is not always about subtlety.

panel 3 shows onstad's dedication to real-life dissapointment. anyone who plays guitar knows how much it sucks leaning forward with the guitar restricting your forward reach. like an alligator with a branch prying it's jaws open
joamiq » neu 1 years ago
That is exactly what I was going to say. I feel like I've spent half my life trying to do things in vain with a guitar strapped on when it would be much simpler just to take it off. That Onstad included that panel is a reflection of the kind of dedication to real-life small details that makes this comic so damn good.
fancyrat » pro 4 months ago
Shit-damn! I scrolled all the way down here to make sure no one else had noticed this and at least two people beat me to it! I think it says something about humanity that most Achewood readers have more or less the same personality and we never meet in person. It's like that 'Everyone relates to Beef' thing.

I wonder if Teodor is doing the Swans' cover of Love Will Tear Us Apart? My respect would not run so dry, for that would be awesome.

And as others have commented, the rollerskate is a lot like the oranges always signifying someone's imminent death in the Godfather trilogy.
fineoakstructure » neu 1 years ago
see the discussion above on why we think this is not the case.

But you never know...
direhaggis » pro 1 years ago
From what I read people seem to be in agreement on this death skate thing. The natural corollary is a bunch of Italian gangsters killing one another because fruit just happens sometimes. This is not a difficult stretch.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. My original comment was directed at the first part of your comment, re: the Swans' cover.

I just now realized where Téodor's mouth is.
I always thought that he had a grumpy look plastered on his face, but apparently that's his upper lip, not his chin.
Fie on me.
