The dialogue in the last panel is worth a five, I think.
judahnielsen » pro2 years ago
I'm with you. Teodor's line is one of the best sentences I've ever read.
radishes » pro2 years ago
I agree too. Let us each revel in our own metaphorical pool house.
rainwolfj » pro2 years ago
I prefer a metaphysical manifestation of a pool house.
epicurus » neu1 years ago
I half-agree. The other phrasings are clearer, but the one that was used has better comedic timing (it takes a moment to get what he is saying and that makes it better) and also it sounds more faux-intellectual which fits with the scene.
Oh god my comment was even more pedantic than yours I AM SO SORRY INTERNET I AM SO SORRY
kelsotimebomb » neu1 years ago
I personally would have used "made in."
Please accept these two pennies. They are symbolic of my thoughts.

Once on television as a child I saw a policeman say to Batman, "That's my two cents," and then I saw Batman reply, "...worth every penny," and now I can't remember if it was Batman: The Animated Series or Batman/Superman Adventures
atticusonline » neu1 years ago
Well hell that's not worth a lot at all.
scorpio_nadir » neu1 years ago
Well, as one looking from the outside in through a glass darkly tinted, you're wrong.
cave_of_wonders » neu1 months ago
Um... the majority of the humor in Achewood for me is Onstad's intentional misuse of the English language. You basically said "I wish he would've made this less funny."
atticusonline » neu1 years ago
I reject you all based on your appearance.
djwhiterabbit » neu2 years ago
agreed.
flyinglemon » neu1 years ago
Seconded.
madnes » pro2 years ago
The last panel always reminds me of the scene in Boogie Nights, where Amber and Rollergirl can't leave the bedroom.
"Too many things, too many things".
bozendoka » pro1 years ago
Agreed, for what appears to be no less than the 58th time.
johnnytruant » neu7 months ago
panels 3 and 4 are worth a five
dropkickpikachu » pro2 years ago
The first four panels are amazing. I love when Onstad does panels without dialogue.
whitey » pro2 years ago
I agree. I had my finger on the 5 trigger after the first four panels. The rest was just gravy.
kochipoik » neu2 years ago
I had to re-'read' the first four panels, just because they were so awesome. Then I saved the picture, opened it in paint, stitched those four panels onto one line and set it as my desktop background.
Aint no explainin' those panels, other than great.
rainwolfj » neu1 years ago
I think I'm missing something if you've managed to read those panels...
cpnglxynchos » neu1 years ago
i see what you did here.
and that is hilarious.
jamers » pro2 years ago
Panel 3 is awesome. Smiles in perfect equilibrium.
niraj » pro2 years ago
Agreed

Got to love that raised eyebrow of Teodors when he they wave at him.
lexsenthur » neu1 years ago
After all the awkwardness of see his friends in what appears to be some bizarre sex ritual, he finally realizes "This is too damn weird, time to go inside and find out what these guys are actually doing.
Of course, his fears come rushing back when he is surrounded by his friends wearing cell phone strap-ons, calming himself by thinking, "It's okay, I don't think they'd have their way with me if I said 'no.'"

I couldn't help but notice that those contraptions never came up for sale on this site.

Téodor? Téodor?
mangtastic » neu3 months ago
What the hell.
How did you get the accent to work?
rowboat » pro1 months ago
Yes. Do tell. My inability to figure that out has secretly really bothered me over the past three years.
morganization » neu2 years ago
while the dialogue is genius, the first panel when they realize teodor is watching them is pretty fucking funny
overmedicated » neu2 years ago
Those two are so goddamn cute when they smile.
ich_bin_ilya » neu2 years ago
beef smiles so rarely. it's nice to see.
ggvaidya » pro2 years ago
No longer wondering where his real dong is must have cured his depression! And you're right, those are beautific smiles.
saru » neu2 years ago
I do this only because I made the same mistake for so many many years, and in the anonymity of the Intertron you may learn in the glorious silence that does not require pride.
But I believe you mean beatific
eonblue174 » neu1 years ago
You know, Roast Beef isn't just depressed, I think. He just doesn't spread his joy evenly. Has anyone been as happy as him when he saw the guys do Cheers? Not even Philippe.
kazad » neu2 years ago
Congratulations, in a way.
jesler729 » neu2 years ago
This, combined with Roast Beef eying him up and down, is pretty danged creepy out of context.
presterjohn » pro2 years ago
Usually I ain't big on using Achewood quotes in real life, epicurus-style, but really your life is not correct if you haven't tried greeting a friend with this line.
spinynorman » neu2 years ago
man I ain't fallin for that one again
ctrl-s » neu2 years ago
PERFECT SENTENCE.
never_die » pro2 years ago
the enlightenment on Teodor's face in panel 11 is...is...beyond utterance.
jaydub » pro2 years ago
Does T stuff his shirt? His profile with and without his shirt look distinctly different.
connellingus » neu2 years ago
The sweater Penny made for him must be pretty thick.
plezure » pro2 years ago
Ray stole my idea.
joeyramoney » neu2 years ago
teodor looks excellent without a shirt on.
estutius » neu2 years ago
Teodor sounds like me after three hits of LSD.
goatmasterflash » neu1 years ago
three hits of LSD, a shot of weed, and two tabs of tequila
mangtastic » neu3 months ago
I have frequently heard doses of LSD referred to as "hits". No need to be a dick about it.
girdag » neu2 years ago
'We've made a discovery. A breakthrough. Please, remove your pants.'
Oh, how that phrase could either herald happiness or hell.
c_dizzle » pro2 years ago
I thought it sounded like a line out of a Monty Python skit.
Replace "pants" with "trousers."
gumfish » neu2 years ago
I always mess up when saying something about pants to someone online and then remember they're British.
spinynorman » neu2 years ago
We really need to steal that word. "Trousers" is just goddamn hilarious.
lawbot » pro2 years ago
saint » neu2 years ago
an enlightened Teodor is not scared off by the proposition or remaining in the pool house for an indefinite amount of time...although, if they remain in the pool house, how can they expect to pull in more converts to the walk of the enlightened?
nbray » neu2 years ago
The desire to pull in more converts is a symptom of unenlightenment. The enlightened Téodor has no wants.
mastronaut » pro2 years ago
I wish I could chubby that statement more.
godfatherofsouls » neu2 years ago
Wouldn't it be enweightenment?
ariamaki » pro2 years ago
I am openly in love with the ending line here, and use it whenever possible to blow off arrangements.
xi » neu2 years ago
But how else are we to broadcast our severe loserdom to the world? HOW WILL THEY KNOW?
charchar » neu1 years ago
WHY FIND OUT?
fosters » neu2 years ago
You know the first few times I read this statement I interpreted it at "I am in love with the ending line like it's a living thing, and thus when people propose an arrangement like marriage I blow them off for my true love, the ending line." I like it better this way. It freaked me out.
Needless to say I am completely high as hell.
captainphaze » neu2 years ago
Teodor is just dragged into the greatness by Ray and Beef. Saying that, the last panel is a glorious illustration of why we should ALL wear these pants.
hardelicious » neu2 years ago
It takes a special couple of dudes to get spotted pouring water in each others' extended crotch cup and immediately default to pleasant, unassuming friendliness.
ampkit5 » pro2 years ago
Wow, I really misread the title of this strip. Thought it said Teodor is bi- curious.
deusoma » neu2 years ago
That was the joke, unless I miss my guess.
charchar » neu1 years ago
That title is quite possibly the best arrangement of words across which I have come today. I am in Sci-Fi class, and "Sci-Fi Curious" is going on my binder. In Sharpie, so they know I am serious.
Is it just me, or is this like the first time you ever got sort of stoned?
hatcatrat » pro1 years ago
I love ham..
stereo » neu1 years ago
I hope I'm not the only one who started crying during this arc, because something so awesome will never happen to me.
killingthejay » neu1 years ago
these garments add a new dimension to the phrase "acid pants."
mintyhelminthes » pro1 years ago
Teodor's waist is 18 inches? that's a deluxe sized teddy bear
nonanon » pro1 years ago
I cannot five this comic hard enough.
chestnimitz » pro1 years ago
The only bad thing about achewood is that it is impossible to describe a typical joke to your friends. Lord how I have tried.
harlotbug3 » neu1 years ago
Big ditto there. I just caught up to the current storyline. Two months of, honestly, the greatest comic strip I've ever seen, but I feel like God just spoke to me in a language all his own.
ham_shoes » pro1 years ago
Teodor had to take a minute to decide whether or not to go out there. "These guys, they are okay. ... ...maybe"
dipstikk » neu1 years ago
Why there is not an animated gif of panels 1-7 yet is beyond me.
milo » pro1 years ago
maaan, I wish it really were as simple as strapping a tinfoil appendage to myself. altho to be fair I don't know if anyone's tried it yet :)
buttbutter » pro1 years ago
"If I had plans, they were made by an incorrect life I no longer maintain."
theguitarhero » neu11 months ago
Yup, that's the line.
litfanbreastman » pro9 months ago
Teodor has hella nipples.
chetyre » pro8 months ago
Oh boy! The "You haven't seen these highest rated" sidebar has been taunting me for quite some time now since I'm reading in order. Finally, one of those strips came up :P
