Vlad is just a master businessman. He has good ideas, and that extending arm doesn't hurt either.

:ZOOT:

is SO good!
Hearing his accent almost comes naturally with the way he's written. Beautiful.

I have a Ukranian friend whose family is from Russian and served in the Soviet army. He's hilariously optimistic about everything and his accent just makes it all the more endearing. For example the other day he told me, "Dude... Have you heard of this place? Woodrow's? It is a place of great steaks, on Wednesday. Only get it choosh, choosh, cooked thirty seconds on each side. Are you goink with us? Are you comink?" I said yeah and suddenly he became terribly grave, saying, "Okay, if you are sure... But there is no goink back. No backing out of this. Not at all."

I wasn't sure if I was going to eat a steak or kill a guy. Eh, I didn't have anything planned, either way.

You will be doink both. Did he ever say what the source of the steaks was? I am thinkink not. This is manliest of activities. Designed to bond yous forever. To be killink man and then eating steaks are both most manly. Especially steaks made from him.

In the distant future when we meet up and become best friends/marry, can you please introduce me to this guy.

Duly noted.

Heck, if we have a girl, we'll name her Vlad. Vladina or something.

Also, my original comment received two chubbies in the two weeks since it was posted. Apparently people like the hecci/Norman pairing.

I, for one, am a huge fan of the Stephen Fry/Lesbian combo.

I believe they have that at McDonalds.

100% true.
[IMGS OFF]

I am not judging, but "You're mistype" is pretty classic

Naughty, evil, wicked Zoot!

I wonder if he's into spankings...and the oral sex.

I'm trying to decide what kind of horrible human being would lame this comment.

Someone who has been overexposed to repeated Holy Grail quotes, especially by people who were under the impression that Grail was the only thing Python ever did, let alone the best.

What's with Teodor's getup?

prototype uniform for the circus penis army DUH

And there was me thinking Vlad had turned up during the shooting of "Ben Whore".

Vlad even has a Jesus fish on his bag.

doesn't exist

"Hello, you are reachink Vlad voicemail. Vlad is out with the ladies achievink the makeouts. Please to be leavink message and wait for return call."

I choose to believe that it's actually just because he mispelled "relevant."

It kinda freaks me out seeing Teodor partially outside the sixth panel. Like Achewood only exists in the z=0 plane and Teodor has stepped out along the z axis, towards reality.

teodor's gesticulation in panels 4-5 is superb, like somebody's trying to hand him a freshly dirtied tissue or a diseased raccoon.

and... did vlad make up that dilbert advertisement on his own? just... just because he likes the strip? i don't remember vlad being this crazy.

Mark 13. Huh. Well, I am a curious special boy, so I tried to look the verses up in a Bible, and realized that we didn't know exactly WHICH version fo the Bible Onstad used for this strip! So, being the masochist I am, I decided to waste an hour of my life researching it, for the benefit of no one in particular.

I learned that NONE of the following Bibles have our strip's exact wording:

WTF?

A quick Google shows that the verses were actually taken from MATTHEW 24:1-6, not Mark 13. Oy.

The full text, unclipped and unhidden reads as follows:

1 Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings.

2 %u201CDo you see all these things?%u201D he asked. %u201CI tell you the truth, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.%u201D

3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. %u201CTell us,%u201D they said, %u201Cwhen will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?%u201D

4 Jesus answered: %u201CWatch out that no one deceives you.

5 For many will come in my name, claiming, %u2018I am the Christ%u2019 and will deceive many.

6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.

I tried to get one of my friends to read Achewood, he said it "looked too much like Dilbert" so he didn't want to read it.

We are now enemies.

Ads in the Bible is nothing new. Major alterations started with the generous sponsorship of Loaves'N'Fishes Inc. in 87 AD.
