I like this one because of many different reasons.

"Here, put these shoes on and have legs like mine." Classic Achewood/Peanuts logic.
zem » neu8 months ago
I guess if there's a classic example of achewood/peanuts logic it would have to come from this strip

Given that crossovers between the two are hell of hard to find and so on.
semiquaver » neu1 months ago
Okay my defense is that it was late and I was tired and it would be great if Acheworld and I could move past this.

Is it just me, or does Charlie Brown have wicked sack up until panel 7? He's sassing Ray something fierce.
Also, this one might foreshadow the Feb. 11, 2005 strip. "Nonsense!"
nosearmy » neu2 months ago
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
snatch22 » pro1 years ago
I feel like this should've been one of Lie Bot's saddest things ever. Telling a little kid that he's dead. Tragic.
sherief » neu8 months ago
What's worse is Charlie Brown's dogged insistence to the effect that he never really even lived.

This strip is a warning.

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

"He toook you down with him like an Egyptian emperor!" == instant 5.
and this'll prolly get me crucified, but shouldn't it technically be "Egyptian pharaoh"?
tellumo » pro1 years ago
Yes. However, Ray has never been one to sweat such details.
djwhiterabbit » neu1 years ago
your point is well taken.
saru » neu8 months ago
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?
sirfrederick » pro2 months ago
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.

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...

Man Ray has a long torso when he puts on Charlie Brown shoes.
charchar » neu4 months ago
I read that as "Man Ray" has a long torso. (Any photoshop-inclined peoples, please make me such as a jpeg of Ray as a cello or something. We could maybe get the Make-A-Wish Foundation in on it, perhaps.)

Charlie Brown was the world's first emo kid.
laudabilis » pro11 months ago
Good thing he was too hardcore for actual eyeliner. That would've totally ruined Peanuts.
kilroywashere » pro10 months ago
Too bad Charlie Brown never hung around long enough to give Pat crap on his insane barber-hatred.
steerpike66 » neu10 months ago
This could be a really disturbing strip. I think it should have gotten darker until Charlie Brown dissolves into a howling nothingness, pounding his fists on the floor in denial, his voice rising to an hysterical bat-screech as the void claims him. Then, nothing but a thin wind...and silence. Goodnight Charlie Brown. You wishy-washy son-of-a-round-headed-bitch.
pyro_ike » pro8 months ago
That actually happened, between panels. Why else do you think Ray looks shaken up?
endoftheworld » pro9 months ago
Charlie Brown, you had fifty years to kiss the Red-Headed Girl. No sympathy from this corner, son.

DEPRESSING
cheapcynicism » neu9 months ago
"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.
tbtabby » neu8 months ago
I only recently notices that Charlie Brown is wearing a short-sleeved dress shirt, as opposed to his usual polo shirt with the zigzag.
rowboat » pro8 months ago
This strip is basically a fucking nightmare. And it was the strip for my twenty-seventh birthday. Nightmares abound!
yogurtworld » neu5 months ago
You and I both have the same shitty birthday. High five!

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.
gussiejives » neu6 months ago
I always wondered how Charlie Brown got around on those stumpy-ass legs.
Just saying, here... everyone (yes, that means you) should read the Molly entry whether they're following the Adventures of Ms. Blog Girl or not. That's one of the sweetest things I've ever read. And the Cornelius entry is absolutely superb. A choice excerpt:
"My donation must have seemed rather quaint, so I attempted to make reparations with the good bear but he would have none of it, noting that Ray had more than adequately covered the $89 price of the toy with a $500 donation."
Classic Ray.

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.
sirfrederick » pro2 months ago
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.
pogo » neu4 months ago
I see dead cartoon characters.
johnnyrocker » neu3 months ago
I love "I never know how things like this are supposed to go."
It implies that Ray has been through shit like this before.

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