Remember when Lyle was two Lyles big?

I also had not noticed this. Nice.

Lyle has many properties. Because his cells are permanently saturated with alcohol, to which he has a powerful psychic bond, he can alter his size at will by expelling or imbibing liquors.

Like midi-chlorians but with less of that VZZZOOM WOOOHM, y'know?

You win the No-Prize!

Your thoughts on Lyle size should be published in a journal of moderate importance!

yelled Batman.

Finally made an account just to give this its 100th chubby.

Remember when lyle's moustache was a batman boomarang?

Or, if you will, a "Bat-a-rang".

You have upstaged the guy with the Dr. Who avatar in nerdiness.

Man, if you are watching Suirvivor without drinking, you are making a serious error in judgement.

I'm just wondering whe Ray is going to get dressed. When was the thong introduced?

Turns out it's the next strip.

How the dudes have changed since this strip

Yeah, Roast Beef sounds as edgy as Lyle or Ray

His facial expressions are kind of sad and discongruous with what he's saying, though.

It feels so weird to see Beef using actual punctuation.

Strange and distantly familiar, a visit to past times.

I thought dogs couldn't talk! I guess they could still lose at poker, though.

I saw a painting like that once.

Dogs can definitely talk. Remember Scrambles? He was lost.

Beef with punctuation? Weeeeeeeird.

OH GOD MAN THAT IS SO WAAAACKYYYYY

also Beef speaking in a same-sized font as everyone else.

And he SMOKES!

The question mark leads the current
to
the
bomb

OHHHHHHH SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!

Onstad can teach us all something about perseverance. If I had come in on either of the last two strips, or even if I'd started at the beginning and worked my way up to this point, I wouldn't have given a damn about those cats and may not have even kept reading (there is a dip in quality to start 2002). There's a palpable sense of Onstad pondering dropping the whole thing and getting a real job around this time. I now have double appreciation for the magic trick that he pulled to eventually right the ship and turn it into gold. Onstad can teach us all something about perseverance.

Perfect introductory and concluding sentences.

Rowboat; After having read the strip for a few months now, I finally came to appreciate Onstad's genius for character development. The Great Outdoor Fight arc hooked me once Ray's mom came to visit and Beef immediately went into polite 8 year old mode. I took the plunge and started reading the strips in chronological order (and created my profile t' boot). I give you double appreciation mad chubbies for stating my growing unease so eloquently.

First mention of Ray's name.

Also the first appearance of Ray's medallion. The thong, however, is still MIA.

The Dog. Yet another in Achewood's legacy of Characters Whom We Never See.

you know, it's a good setup, but Achewood has come a long way since these strips.

Indeed it has come a long way. I love seeing comic characters develop.

Are we talking about Wendy's founder Dave Thomas here?

I believe the alt text is referring to that Dave Thomas, but died on 1/8/02, which might explain Onstad's blown concentration during this disaster...

...all thinking about square burgers and Frostys..
...Dave Thomas' body iced on display in a modified "Super Bar"...

Quite understandably. I get the feeling Roast Beef spent a good portion of his childhood scrounging in the dumpster for leftover frosty.

When I first read this strip I thought that Dave Thomas--the singer from Pere Ubu--had died. I almost cried.

Ugh Beef with full punctuation and even emitting a haughty "hah!"
Sad face.

Roast Beef does not watch the Survivor TV show.

Everyone is freaking out about RB here, I'm guessing cigarettes just helped his depression... for a time.

hahaahahahhaahahahaahahahahahahahaha

Lyle is drawn big because he is the focus of the strip, much like classical Japanese paintings where drowning sailors in the background were painted larger than safe observers in the foreground.

also LOL on Beef saying "retarded"

also "OF course" is maybe the first use of good dialogue in the strip's history

What is even the point of this strip? This is almost as bad as the AIDS comic.
