I like this one just because Lie Bot seems to be holding a paper airplane for no reason

Is he role-playing Frank Abagnale (Catch Me If You Can)?
Like megalomaniacs dress up as Napoleon.

At least Phillipe has remembered NOT to tell a knock-knock joke when someone has had a gruesome accident.
greyfield » neu1 years ago
No, you see, he's prepared for Philippe to walk by to tell him a kick-ass lie, only to discover Philippe has no time for his shenanigans.

Yes, and now that I understand this, I may sleep well once more.

Around this time I posted on some message board that I loved Achewood but didn't really get this particular arc, Onstad replied along the lines of "yeah I'm not sure where I was going with that." Somehow his honesty made me love Achewood even more and in my opinion he has never dropped the ball since.

I wonder how come he doesn't post on the Acheworld more? Maybe he's busy, or still sick. Or maybe he just finds the idea kind of tacky.

Or maybe he's kinda busy makin' the strips and all. Be real with me baby.
riazm » neu2 years ago
It's true, people with worthwhile tasks have little to no input on webcomic comment systems.

Christ, look at how often I'm on here.

This alt text would look great on a tombstone.

It's almost like an unfinished palindrome...
...wait! Maybe it's an early polyglot palindrome!

It's funny to hit random comic and come to this one, because I initially didn't realize Philippe was upset about the french fry, just that he was running around yelling.

Five'd for being the first Achewood I ever read. Ah, the memories... Ah, the wasted hours at work.

Everyone but Lie Bot is reading. Lie Bot has created a paper airplane, possibly using a page torn out of a book. Always the contrarian, that one.
cinderfella » neu2 years ago
It is a page from a book, but he has written in the margins. Written all small 'The patron saint of county fairs is Spider-man'.

That's the greatest non-sequitor in the history of the English language.

The alt text seems to want to kepp the suspense going, yet it toys with my emotions.

I like the composition of this strip, something I normally don't think is necessarily a strong point of Achewood.
rowboat » pro2 years ago
Here's another example of compositional excellence. Kind of along the same lines.

True. Nice.

This is high-concept graphic novelism man
puguglypress » neu5 months ago
No, it's automatically not, because it's in a silly webcomic and not some tome that isn't enjoyable.
aaron_haynes » pro1 years ago
I like this strip, but I wonder whose help he wants, seeing as he runs past all of the major characters to this point.
origotoshi » neu1 months ago
He doesn't actually run past most of them I believe, it's just showing them being startled by his scream. And yes, I do realize I'm replying to a year-old post, but what the hey, it's not like I'm interrupting some current conversation.
