Mr. Tucci is nominated for many awards in his role.

It is achewood realismo-absurdism. It is not supposed to be funny.It is supposed to give you an unforgiving look at yourself.
When you are not home, anyone can come to the door. Nobody is at the door when you are home.

Thanks. I've been wondering about that all year.

Nobody but your stuffed animals.

First reference to the humans; I am ambivalent towards this development.

The joke is that Stanley Tucci came to the door, but since no one was home, he left. On the whole, I'd say it's a pretty "Achewood" moment.

Wake up! Wake up!

Wha...? What is it, Lie Bot?

Stanley Tucci's here! He wants to see you!

Really? Wow!

He has a blinking tooth!

That's so awesome!

I couldn't agree more. This should be AT LEAST a 3.5 but you people ruined it. This is why Stanley Tucci doesn't visit anymore.
billyamericana » pro 2 years ago
Something tells me Chris would really like to meet Stanley Tucci.
mortshire » neu 2 years ago
at least stanley tucci's still getting good work.
speedwell » neu 2 years ago
He's "raising the bar" as we speak.

Phillipe is nice to people.

This is the straight kridden comic platinum.
tetrisattack » pro 2 years ago
This one is the best.

No punchline but pure Achewood. I mean sometimes Stanley Tucci just shows up and knocks and leaves in life.
tekende » pro 1 years ago
Sometimes he leaves flaming bags of dog poop on your porch. These things happen.
fineoakstructure » neu 1 years ago
And sometimes he eats, shoots & leaves.

Tucci likes to keep you guessing.

Achewood was pretty weird during the first year... But it did establish the idea that the stuffed animals cannot meet humans.
gouldgonewild » neu 2 years ago
...unless they are dead? or from other cartoons? Or Onstad? I don't know, humans are in it a lot, it seems...and what the hell is Cartilage Head?
wonelove » neu 1 years ago
Cartilage Head is...
...well, Cartilage Head
atticusonline » neu 2 years ago
Stanley is 46...the animals know him.
shutup_shutup » neu 1 years ago
That's Stanley Tucci. I know him.

I know Stanley Tucci.
atticusonline » neu 1 years ago
Yes.

I liked Stanley Tucci in Big Night, too. My dog better tell me if he shows up or I will be angrier than a nest of angry hornets at the angry farm on angry day.
envika » neu 2 years ago
This one's good because you don't need to know who Stanley Tucci is to get it.
stuart » neu 2 years ago
Have you guys noticed the crazy ass patterns the halftone makes in these?
tekende » pro 2 years ago
Whoa! Weird!
sankster » pro 2 years ago
I dunno, I liked this strip. There's just something really funny about the anticlimax to me. I've seen it mentioned elsewhere, but the humor is in the specifics. Stanley Tucci is specifically mentioned, so you expect a joke related to him or one of his movies, may be even "Big Night." Then, suddenly, he leaves instead. I think it's the fact that Onstad DIDN'T go with what's expected that makes this one funny.
i_pose_4_nolan » con 2 years ago
This is just... Hmm. I enjoy Achewood, and read every day. This is actually my third read-through. And whilst I can understand that Onstad may still have been carving his niche, this just seems like nothing.

I love that other than the otter's wave, they don't move at all. I think they were already standing in the window, and they just take it in stride when the somewhat famous middle-brow actor shows up. Cornelius all back-of-the-rental-box style. Teodore with an exclamation mark but still has his hands behind his back like some patient civil war general.

The things unsaid... the deeds undone...

'Bye Stanley! Loved Shall We Dance!'
wonglers » neu 1 years ago
That was just Brian, actually. He's a Jehova's Witness. Stuffed animals think humans all look alike. False alarm.
mikeronomicon » neu 1 years ago
I think this might actually be the only real mention of humans living with Cornelius, Teodor, and Philipe. But then again, I could be completely full of shit.
tekende » neu 1 years ago
Can't it be both?
mikeronomicon » neu 1 years ago
I usually assume that it is, but that's just me.
