Why the fuck did I? Goddamnit I am retarded.

"A phone is like a woman that hates you. It's all she does."
I say this often.

Tomorrow is throwing a hissy fit at today.

I need to say it more, relating to things that are not phones. Also things that are phones maybe.

Why is this story line not higher rated? It is one of my favorites.
bourbonsamurai » neu2 years ago
I have to say, that of the continuing story-lines, this is my least favorite. It does have a couple great moments, though.

Nice work saying that in such a way that you didn't get lamed. Normally you can guarantee being balls deep in lames nearly four seconds after saying an Achewood storyline isn't your favourite one.

That's because most people are a dick about it.
telescreen » neu1 years ago
It was hard to resist laming him so long after the fact, but I did because it is okay that he dislikes one of my favorite arcs. It is okay. I tell myself this.

Confusion is one of the most powerful weapons that exists.

he has the same feeling on phones as Ralf Hütter of Kraftwerk

God I can just imagine this dude's voice perfectly. It's uncanny.
isunklower » pro2 years ago
Which is how exactly? I kind of imagine him talking really fast and really loud, like in the first movies with sound.
This could be because Lonis mentions "talkies" in the next strip, though.
buttermoths » neu2 years ago
I always imagined him talking like David Lynch's character in season two of Twin Peaks (Gordon Cole, I think his name was).
Which is really fast and REALLY loud, just like you said.
notcool » pro11 months ago
I always imagined the voice as that of a grown-up Elroy, trppin' HARD on shrooms and trying to maintain.
While telling himself it's not okay to eat These guests.

likewise, also with the whirring of the projector behind you as you look at him.

brother has a neon glow surrounding him

I imagine faint carnival music playing in the background of this whole arc
jandruff » neu2 years ago
I've just realized how weird it is to see a human face drawn in Onstad's style in this comic.

The glowing man asks the cats with glasses for tech support.
charchar » neu1 years ago
So, did their legs sort of shrivel away, or is the door superbly tall? I checked the previous comic, and noticed no evidence in either direction.
fineoakstructure » neu1 years ago
Check this one, panels 2 and 3, you'll notice their legs getting shorter as they walk towards the warehouse. I'm assuming they're back to normal by the time they reach the door.
sevenarts » neu1 years ago
This arc is surreal even by Achewood standards, but there's something I really like about the bizarre, creepy ghost guy. It reminds me of something that Al Columbia might draw, where the cheerful tone just makes it even creepier.
boredom_man » neu1 years ago
All of the sound and fury of misogyny that Nice Pete can come up with will never evoke the hurt, rage, and self-pity of Lonis' two sentences about women. "It's all she does."
It's projection, of course. The man lives his life out of focus. But it's the kind of poetic projection that slaps Nietzsche's ass and teaches him Frenchman.

Only its location at the bottom of this thread prevents this comment from receiving its rightful chubbitude.
deusoma » neu1 years ago
Ray and Butters share a moment in panel 9. Even if you hate the guy you're with, at least you know what you're in for with him.
hyetal » neu1 years ago
"Lost? Welcome! There, you're found."
"A phone is like a woman who hates you. It's all she does."
I get the feeling that Lonis just talks to himself constantly, trying to work out lines like this, just waiting for an opportunity to use them. He wouldn't be the only one.
joestork » neu1 years ago
Is Lonis supposed to be a take off on Julianne Moore's character in the Big Lebowski? The alt text would indicate so...
shutup_shutup » neu8 months ago
I don't really think that Maude Lebowski has a monopoly on the word "thorough."
joestork » neu8 months ago
True, but Lonis's clipped, patrician way of speaking, as well as the way he breathlessly piles one crazy-ass statement on top of another, is similar to Maude, don't you think?
He looks pretty different, though.

Anyone else getting a Norton Juster vibe from this whole arc?
