RIP Lynn Johnston

Oh, wait, too early. Shit.

Wow. Are you David Brent?

Given that crossovers between the two are hell of hard to find and so on.

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.

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

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

Yes. However, Ray has never been one to sweat such details.

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.

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.

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.)

Too much art appreciation.

Nonsense!

Good thing he was too hardcore for actual eyeliner. That would've totally ruined Peanuts.

Too bad Charlie Brown never hung around long enough to give Pat crap on his insane barber-hatred.

That actually happened, between panels. Why else do you think Ray looks shaken up?

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.

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.

Does Ray know he lives in a comic?

Do we?

Wait! I am from... fiction!

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

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.

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