All this talk about the phone made me realize for the first time that it is not even a cell phone, but a cordless. I like that. Also the first panel is perhaps the greatest single panel of all.

Also, the helmet is thick enough to protect against space, yet thin enough to allow telephone conversation.

It would! I asked a geology teacher about the NASA transmissions back and forth when we were studying the moon. He said it might actually work with a better signal, seeing how it's got a more-or-less straight shot to the satellite it needs (provided you have not swung to the other side of the earth yet, I think) to transmit data. Depending on your coverage, you could totally call a dude from the moon.

Something about the top panel makes me want to weep with joy.

I know, like it's every thing Beef ever wanted.

I see that panel and I think: "desktop background"

640x480
800x600
1024x768
1152x864
1280x1024
1600x1200

And here I was thinking I was going to do it myself. Lo, that I have but one chubby to give you.

How about a background for those of us with 16:10 aspect ratio screens?

I do 1440x900 myself, so here's a copy of what I've been using:

1440x900

If you use some other resolution I can crack photoshop open again, I s'pose.

Beef has become Doctor Manhattan; alone in his fortress of solitude.

Oh dang Laurie, I just don't really care much about your 'ol blue world down there no more.

If someone were to recast The Watchmen with Achewood characters, Beef actually wouldn't be a bad Dr. Manhattan. Granted after giving the idea another half second's thought he would seem more an appropriate fit as Dan Dreiberg.

It is now my sincerest hope that some other people who've read the Watchmen see these comics and contribute to this concept. Right now I'm trying to think if Lyle or Todd would be better as the Comedian.
tekende » pro 1 years ago
Lyle is totally the Comedian.
And come on, who is more perfect for Dreiberg/Nite Owl than Teodor?

Nice Pete is Rorschach, no question about it there.

molly is laurie because there's no other chicks in either work

What about the lesbian cabdriver?
tfaironpirate » neu 1 weeks ago
Yeah, Lyle is definitely comedian, but I do think Roast Beef would better for Dreiberg. Also, I'd rather see Ray as Rorschach, just to increase the RB/Ray parallels. Also Ray does often enough refuse to give up on his values. Even if his values circle around water having nutrients.

Also, Phillippe might have to be Doctor Manhattan. Not because it makes any sense at all. Just because it would be awesome. He probably just teleported to Mars for fun.

Also, obviously Pat is Ozymandias.

The first panel deserves a five. That's probably the first thing I'd say if I we're in such a situation.

Some moon-cats would play golf. Others write JAVA for all the moon to see.
evolume » neu 2 years ago
it still says "JAVA" on the moon 'cause no atmosphere, so no, like, wind and stuff.
slanger » neu 1 years ago
It will say Java...forever.

Wrong strip. We're talking AErosTwiceChastened, and frankly I big time do not care at all to delve into what that name means.... at all.

And I think my spaceship knows which way to go

I read somewhere that the moon smells like exploded firecrackers. I'm willing to bet we showed up late for a moon kegger.

How about in a 16:10 aspect ratio? Some of us have new fangled laptops, gosh dern it.

At first I was like this is meh, til I realized that it in fact reflects my own level of desire for solitude.

hmmm

The first Achewood strip I read.

It would take about five months and three more tries before I got legally hooked.

after such as eighty years, a cartoonist finally recaptured the otherworldly feeling of a krazy kat strip
