I WILL GET THE HOSE

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

yeah, this one is beyond me.

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.

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.

Something tells me Chris would really like to meet Stanley Tucci.

at least stanley tucci's still getting good work.

He's "raising the bar" as we speak.

Phillipe is nice to people.

This is the straight kridden comic platinum.

This one is the best.

Sometimes he leaves flaming bags of dog poop on your porch. These things happen.

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.

...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?

Cartilage Head is...
...well, Cartilage Head

Stanley is 46...the animals know him.

That's Stanley Tucci. I know him.

I know Stanley Tucci.

Yes.

This one's good because you don't need to know who Stanley Tucci is to get it.

Whoa! Weird!

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.

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!'

That was just Brian, actually. He's a Jehova's Witness. Stuffed animals think humans all look alike. False alarm.

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.

Can't it be both?

I usually assume that it is, but that's just me.
