We need another forum for talking about the strip.

In this case, I would at least like to point out that "you ain't a guy of kids" is the best line in classic RB style we've seen in a while.
belgand » neu 3 months ago
Cornelius is, in many ways, the quintessential guy who is not of kids. I think there is a clear lesson here.

And that's coming from Belgand, who, I safely assume, is not a guy of kids.

As a 12 year old transgendered individual I am very upset by your cisgendered assumptions about my physicality. I am NOT a tranny mess; I am a beautiful, strong zir.

--this has been a joke about the stupid new phrases alternative-alternative-sexuality-and-gendered groups make up to separate themselves from us normal homo/heterosexuals--

okay, new strip preview

(roast beef and molly is lying in bed)
(is a matress on a floor)
(no bed spring)
(lamp is on end table the dimensions of a book)
(cats does not needs bedspring?)

6am

knock knock knock kncok

molly: he awake again. it's your turn

(so here you see philip is waking up a lot)

roasted beef: damn i will have a nervous breakdance if I wake up so early what are you trying to do to me you bitch leave me the fuck alone if you have a problem go deal with it yourself you incredible cunt grow up and learn to take care of yourself and your own needs the world does not revolves around you.

molly: FINE! I go to watch his shitty TV show with him.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backyardigans

molly: his TV show is shit is the worst shit shitted from smelliest ogre with diet of prunes and rasins.

molly: I go watch shitshow with philip.

molly: and you can stay in bed you asshole.

Beefies: okay technically the show is not called "shitshow" and please don't be such a bitch or you will teach philip to be like you and the world doesn't need another bitch like your bitch skank ass, bitch!

Molly:

FUCK you!




Beef: holy shit molly you went and hacked assetbar just so you could bitch me out in large font face?

beefer: Our relationship is so much over!

(so here you see classic delimma of stress kind of simmering smouldering like a fire in a compost hidden beneath the surface but ready to spontaneously combust one of these days when onstad runs out of ideas more so than normal and cant' think of anything else to write about.

okay maybe I am being extreme but shit I mean, why does strips have to be about strife and tension all the time. well I guess that's why they call it achewood for a reason, because it's a shitty shity life so the overall theme of this strip is a sort of melancholy and lassitude.

Well shit, have you seen Onstad's wife and Onstad himself? I mean, they are both kinda the sorts of peoples who, if either one of them married a good looking and interesting person, it might be alright, the whole ambiance and vibe might be okay, but they go and marry each other, and well, God, that kid of theirs is going to have issues, is all I can say.)

soup_alex » neu 3 months ago
Aye, lighten up, gormster.
puguglypress is perhaps a little hit-and-miss, but I thought that was a palpable hit.
Let's not get into bashing Onstad about frequency of updates; I'm becoming increasingly aware of an element among Assetbarbers that seems to think that Onstad has a duty to provide comics for their gratification. Dude has a life, for fuck's sake.
_chris__onstad_ » neu 3 months ago
Dude needs to be put down if he can't produce strips any more than this
puguglypress » neu 3 months ago
When I'm just being sorta funny, it's usually either a small hit, or else kind of a mediocre joke that doesn't really bug anybody and they move on without chubbying or laming. Sometimes I get too ambitious and try to combine humor with some controversial idea that I have. Like with the whole Larsonian God thing, I was aiming for like a REALLY BIG HIT, and obviously that totally blew up in my face.

My favorite thing about Achewood is that Onstad gets REALLY ambitious with his humor. On paper, the jokes about Roast Beef's depression shouldn't work at all. But they're usually his best stuff! The downside is that sometimes he tries some weird idea that just totally falls flat. It was funny in his head, but it just didn't resonate with anybody.

I guess my point is that I'm exactly like Chris Onstad in every way.

Monogamy has more to do with sexual/emotional relations than strictly marriage, ya big hot tranny mess.
soup_alex » neu 3 months ago
"Monogamy" can be used to describe the sexual and marital aspects of a relationship, and to my understanding is more generally accepted (when appearing as simply "monogamy", rather than specifically marital or sexual monogamy, etc.) to refer to marital relationships.
-gamos (Gr.), marriage, union, wedding. See also: joke.
nice-on-water » neu 3 months ago
You were doing good until you fell back on the bullshitty "Hey man it's JuSt A jOkE." But let's talk turkey. If we're talking about adults, we'd most likely be talking about marriage re: monogamy. If we're talking dogs, or parrots, or gorillas, we're talking sexual relations. 5th graders, not being Of Age, are more like dogs, parrots and gorillas in this case.

soup_alex » neu 3 months ago
Well, auchtung asks of monogamous paedophiles, and I would normally assume that all paedophiles are adults, but I see what you're driving at.
Still, I feel compelled to defend my original comment: I knew that auchtung did not mean maritally-monogamous paedophiles, and it is on this understanding that lies the humour in my (apparent) misinterpretation of his meaning. Your comment, depite the cordial tone, suggests that you either "didn't get it", or thought that engaging in a debate concerning the absolute definition of the concept of "monogamy" would make for entertaining reading.
More interesting is the idea that 5th graders might be more readily expected to engage in sexual relationships with multiple partners, than to be married to even one (which I suppose suggests that the modern definition of a marriage is principally a legal one, and so while you can illegally bugger that child to your heart's content, it would be an infinitely more complicated matter to "illegally marry" him (or her)).

In all seriousness I'd be glad that such analogues exist so that if someone really wants to do such a thing they have a reasonable facsimile available to do it to. This is how virtual reality will finally allow all of us to become bored with even our most perverse and anti-social ideas.

On a related topic I've occasionally thought about how, in the future, someone might create a robot that was simultaneously programmed to be a ready, constantly willing sex bot, but is also programmed to hate and loathe sex with everyone, but unable to express this. Eventually someone will make this rape-bot in a child model.

That sex has often driven technology should not be an unfamiliar concept to anyone. The two things people really want robots for, it would seem, are to have sex with and to clean their houses. Furthermore it seems that the Japanese are really the only ones putting serious work into robotics these days. Thus I suspect that the first really breakthrough robot will be a sexy anime maid that you can fuck. Even money says that she cries during sex.

You know, it always seems like men recieve five o'clock shadow when they have kids. Already, we see that Roast Beef has achieved this sought-after new-daddy look. Also, if God had a car, it'd probably not be a VW Bug with the license plate "TinkerBug". Just sayin'.

I am certain that Black Books and Spaced can be effectively combined into a comprehensive philosophy and guide to life, but I haven't quite worked out all of the details. I suspect that it might just need a dash of Father Ted in order to properly meet the goal of right thinking in all things.
soup_alex » neu 3 months ago
Given that Graham Linehan was a principal writer for a substantial part of Black Books and Father Ted, I think that you perhaps do him to great a credit. "The IT Crowd" is shit.
i_love_kate » neu 3 months ago
What you seem toi be implying here, sir, is that anything contaiing Richard Ayoade as a principal actor could ever be shit.

Would you like some mustard on those words.
soup_alex » neu 3 months ago
That is my belief and understanding, and I stand by it. Richard Ayoade, however, is probably the most capable actor/comedian on the show (which doesn't seem too hard), and I maintain that The IT Crowd is the single worst thing that Chris Morris (or Linehan) has ever done.
Maybe I'm a cynic, or just a curmudgeon, but it seems that every British comedian (or comedy show) to have broken through in the last, I don't know, three or four years, has been relentlessly shit.

At the rate things are progressing on Assetbar, I expect there will only be about ten or fifteen non-ignored people by 2010.
