Wow. Are you David Brent?

Nothing is more presumptuous than telling someone they are dead. Defiance in the face of such rudeness demands only the sack parcelled out to any self-respecting boy.

Let's try it....booksofsand, you died

that's what that one cop says.

dang, it's like Blade Runner is my THING or something.

This strip is a warning.

It's like a bizarre 6th Sense.

as opposed to the rational one

Best comic strip about another comic strip ever. You'd think it would be easier.

i'm still rather partial to "laying into garfield" myself. (^ ^,)

"Lasagna, Mondays, people have it all figured out."

up yours garfield

Because he's not an Egyptian, he doesn't feel any of the ill-luck associated with referring to the living god directly.

If I remember correctly Pharaoh means something like "high house", so it was an indirect way of talking about the man himself. Typically, in English, it's polite to refer to people of station using their native tongue, so yeah, maybe pharaoh would be best, since that's what his people called him. But as there is no equivalent in Egyptian (such as Kaiser or Maharajah), Emperor isn't really that wrong. Except of course for the fact that I don't think Egypt was really an empire.... Was it?

Oo, good thinking! And, no, I don't think it was an empire - I think Egypt was comparatively lax in its expansionism, Two closely-related kingdoms which amalgamated somewhere down the line, but the sea and the desert and the mountains made much more military action pretty impractical. But it's not my field, so I'll defer to anyone better informed.

If you've understated the case, it's not by much, according to Wikipedia. During the terrtorial peak of Egyptian-ruled Egypt, its borders extended from Libya in the west and Nubia in the south to Syria in the north, just bumping up against Asia Minor.

So, not only did you just directly quote the above strip with no added comments or opinions; you actually misspelt a word that was right up there?

Poor kid never stood a chance...

Dammit, Charlie Brown has always been awkward.

Peanuts tribute - Onstad has deep roots.

Oh, I thought it was all a build up to the punchline in the last panel...

Man Ray has a long torso when he puts on Charlie Brown shoes.

Too much art appreciation.

Nonsense!

I've always felt that it was not "emo" when you actually had a situation worth complaining about. And shit was messed up for Charlie Brown.

DEPRESSING

"Man, you'd think it'd be easier to give some bad news to Charlie Brown" is the funniest line this hilarious comic has ever made.

If Beef was the shrink in the booth, maybe Charlie Brown would accept it from him. Beef tells bad news well.

I only recently notices that Charlie Brown is wearing a short-sleeved dress shirt, as opposed to his usual polo shirt with the zigzag.

This strip is basically a fucking nightmare. And it was the strip for my twenty-seventh birthday. Nightmares abound!

You and I both have the same shitty birthday. High five!

Back a'cha.

My first Achewood, and a 5 if there ever was such a thing.

Charlie Brown doesn't seem very decisive on the matter of his age.

I always wondered how Charlie Brown got around on those stumpy-ass legs.

I'm frankly surprised he didn't go all the way with a six hundo.

Does Ray know he lives in a comic?

God damn it echidnaboy I just looked through every single comment I ever made on this site to find that

Pretty funny though.

He must, considering Onstad's income comes from selling books and merch of it and he gets Teodor to help him ship them.

It makes more sense when you think of all the autobiographical comics out there.

I see dead cartoon characters.

I love "I never know how things like this are supposed to go."

It implies that Ray has been through shit like this before.

I am testing out BBCode here because I'm pretty sure no one will see it. italics
bold www.dresdencodak.com

I've been wanting to test this one for a while without looking the fool

Oh, rad.

Oh sweet it worked. I didn't think it would work first try.

The BBCode monster is a patient one.

This is so much better than the other two "end of Peanuts" strips I've seen.

"Here, put these on and have legs like mine."

God, I love this comic.

No one has ever been owned as much as Charlie Brown has in this strip

Panel three is great. Onstad isn't really sure how old Charlie Brown is supposed to be, so neither is Charlie Brown. Hilarious.

I actually let a tear out.

RAY UNCREATED HIM! THE HORROR!

your avatar/comment combo freaks me out. nice.

Damn.
I can only apologise for this unexplainable spamming. I don't know what happened.
I really don't.

Something about this strip just gets to me. It is funny and yet I am kind of saddened about it. Achewood tends to have that effect on me. Wonderful strip.

So do the shoes give you Charlie Brown legs, or did Charlie Brown just ask Ray to have legs like him and Ray complied?

woah, is the zigzag shirt copyrighted, or what?

Whereas five-year-old otters take the news very well.

Charlie Brown pulls a Cloud from FF7 in the seventh frame.
COINCIDENCE?!?!?!?!?!?
....Absolutely.

Strip is so sad. All of the things Charlie Brown always longed for but never in his whole life was able to do. Shit.
