Why did I say those words?
Why was I a tool?

In fact, it wouldn't be the first time Todd gets thrown away.

good call. although that was a throwing away for the purpose of healing.

hmm...has anyone else out there found a piss smelling sweatshirt in their hallway, and not been quite sure who was responsible?

That's romance, right there.

Good story, good story.

Somewhere Jimmy Stewart is applauding

He probably doesn't know why, but I like to think he does

I chubby this man for showing me the true meaning of love.

I didn't know what to do so I panicked and chubbied this.

Aww, so close, Lyle...better luck next time.

The alt-text says Teodor Christmas present is forgiving lyle for shitting on sweatshirt. Five out of Five.

How do you see the alt text???

Hover your mouse over the image and let it sit there for a few seconds. Failing that, right click and check the properties.

oh. sweet. I'd been viewing the page source when the alt text was too long for the hover box

There are also browser extensions and scripts for that.

Man, with behavior like that, it's a wonder Lyle gets to live in Onstad's house.

This is a good point, Onstad seems to like to run a tight ship. What is the reason? I reckon they have some shady deal going.

Onstad can't be seen buying Ancient Shenanigan, so Lyle picks it up for him on his runs down to the only bar in Tijuana that sells Gusana Rojo. In return, Onstad rolls Lyle over to prevent him choking on a combination of Mexcal and Johnson's Water Sealant.

i like the appropriation of Roseanne's name for a shit specifically left in a sweatshirt.

I did not notice that.

oh greedy goddamn Todd

will you he ever learn

It wouldn't be the first time that someone had used the thing as a toilet and left it in the hall. It would be the sixth time.

Lowest grift ever. Lyle and Todd have been at rock bottom so long that they should move in furniture.

'Until Christmas' is a nice, matter-of-fact answer.

The alt text MAKES this one.

Check out panel 1 and then the last panel. Lyle's shirt is disintegrating.

Todd doesn't even have to physically appear in the strip to make it awesome. Just the mention of whatever he's doing at the moment will do. Lyle is a bonus.

Ahh. Not my first Achewood, but my first after reading the entire archive. I remember how bad it was to have to finally wait a day or two for a new one.

You know, I used to know a girl--a grown woman, I mean--who had names and personalities and dialogues for all her stuffed animals, brought them with her everywhere and believed--not entirely, but some--that they were alive.

And sometimes I'd get sick of her putting them on the phone with me or telling me about their adventures and I'd imagine sordid lives for them. She did not appreciate it.

Achewood is my catharsis.

I am trying to imagine how Lyle and Todd came up with this scam. Whose idea was it that Todd would be accurately represented by a turd? "Yeah, I weigh b-b-bout the same as a shit!"
