Aren't we all here because we all like this webcomic? I would think that saying something negative about it or its fans would cause a flurry of lames...this is common sense. Don't upset the majority if you're going to get all bitchy about the consequences.

god you are a massively awkward nerd

This is me not caring! Look at how much I don't care! I am now going to make four more posts, all about how much I don't care!

Shame on you for coming in here with a picture of Jonathan Coulton as your avatar and saying Dumb Things.

I realized soon after posting that last post, that you're just a troll in general. And this generic response pretty much clinches it. Yawwwwwn.

you always on point dogg.

Last week is ancient history to you non-Palaeontologists... right?

A chubby, my good man.

Odd, because while I read P-A regularly, I laugh out loud more at Achewood's humor more than just about all other webcomics together. It's not my favorite, I don't necessarily think it's the best or even funniest webcomic around - but I laugh out loud more often at this strip than any others. I don't think I'm alone in this.

Pity chubby

talk hard! say opinions!

Penny Arcade is somewhat funny for awhile, until you realize how formulaic it really is. Every single Penny Arcade: Game reference, then some dude swearing.

Seriously dude, I know I'm late to the party but Penny Arcade fucking blows. It is one of the worst webcomics on the internet, and the fact that you think that it is "laugh-out-loud funny" on a regular basis means there is something wrong with your sense of humour. These aren't opinions, this is a stone cold fact: Penny Arcade blows. Achewood is not only more detailed and features an actual story, but every single gag is about 100x funnier than a penny arcade strip. Also you have a shitty nerd "musician" as your avatar so you are obviously a stupid nerd from some other part of the internet. You have the worst opinions on the internet and I would take 5 asherdans or soticos or saints over you. tl;dr: GTFO i don't like nerds

opinion = fact

doesn't like nerds
is on internet

lolwut

oh come on now, everyone on the internet is a nerd?

listen guy, the only reason i'm replying to your comment is because apparently when people do that you read them. it is okay to have opinions, and clearly you do. but you have gone beyond the level of "dissident" to become "asshole" and your opinion has nothing to do with the upgrade. you are most likely savvy enough to understand what a troll is, and despite your, if annoying, well-reasoned comments that is what you have become. it is two years later and you are still involved with this thread. let it go. just let it go. it's too late to redeem yourself, the least you could do is let it go. there is no reason to ever get worked up about anything on the internet unless it is applicable to the non-internet part of reality. this isn't hearts, you get one heart (a lame, in this analogy) and then you go "fuck, i might as well try and shoot the moon." we can all see clearly that this thread has prompted you to, at the very least, reply to everyone who commented on your dissidence and if that reveals anything about your character it is this: you like penny arcade way too much.

Yeah, Ray's face is priceless

Well, this episode is about wangs...

I only know what it looked like when it was the enemy.

I was Sega-exclusive until the day they stopped being an option... which is when I threw in my lot and became exclusively Anti-S*ny.

Soticoto is 100% bottom.

The last boss is really hard.

whats...wrong with you?

And grow hair on your palms.

Nice. I should start a Wikipedia page:
Online comics: Achewood: Male Genetalia

There was that "so close to syndication" one too.

Chubby for you, upsilon. Also, that is my favorite Achewood strip, so for my failure, I will be mortify my flesh.

Ow.

Fucking OW.

Here you go...

aggh....here http://m.assetbar.com/achewood/uua8fj6rT

SCREW YOU BBCODE! FUCK YOU!

- Weird bug-eyed Ray and Roast Beef strip; ends with Ray in a wheelchair and Beef with his wang out.
Wait did you cover that already? Were you being rhetorical? Wanna play x-box?

Chubbied for the use of the word "milgramized"

Well, I just learned all about the Milgram experiment.
So thank you for that.

See also the Stanford prison experiment and the Bobo doll experiment.

Aren't we a trainwreck of a species?

Stanford prison experiment. My actual favorite experiment in the history.

It was a terrifying experiment. I watched a documentary on it in a class once and I had trouble sleeping that night.

That is too cute not to mock up.

If I could chubby this comment a hundred times, I WOULD.

I'm surprised I had to read this far in the comments before I read something about Superbad. I was beginning to feel cold and alone.

I was going to make the same joke as shoinan, too. I'd say "great minds think alike", but I think it would not be appropriate for a Wii joke.

One of my friends is a struggling graphic artist (sorry for the redundancy) - he got a job at a chinese takeout place, managed to keep it for all of an hour and a half before he ate a piece of someone's leftover General Tso's chicken and was fired on the spot.

Doesn%u2019t this strip reference prove that Onstad has made phallus drawing jokes before and therefore he did not rip off Superbad?

I do not think there is anything original about drawing penises, so there is nothing to be "ripped off". The drawing of the penises is merely a prop used for the interaction between Teodor and Ray.

The second, actually, the first being Swarthy Teen Phillipe playing a bleeping, blooping mystery-game. Onstad does not roll with the medium of video games.

Does the whole Oregon Trail arc count?

Stupid radiation beaming into my eyeballs... stupid addictive video gaming.

Oh, god dammit. I never actually played Oregon Trail (we had different 'educational' games in this country) and I thought it was text-only. Fuck it.

You, sir, have had a deprived childhood. Never fear! Go to this website:

http://www.virtualapple.org/2listO.html

and check it out right now. (It may be less fun for someone who isn't playing it while riding a wave of nostalgia and hash, though.) Odell Lake is also awesome, although with the same caveat.

I just noticed Cornelius' car is RHD, that is awesome.

Though no match for the omega, the "s" and reverse "s" shaped pieces were always shit; you could finish off a row with them, but they never figured into a double. Also bad: excessive ambition resulting in, like, 9 solid unfinished lines waiting for the upper-case "I".

Nintendo are wider than they are long, ergo they are not normally penises.

Er, what if you just turned a NES 90 degrees? Instant longer-than-it-is-wide orientation.

Curses! That changes everything!

On you, maybe.

even though i have one, penises are one of the funnier things in life.

Ray fucks with Teodor in the strangest ways.

I think this strip may have an extra level of meaning for Xbox enthusiasts.

Attachment? Who needs an attachment? I think this is already one of the games in WarioWare.

I see you guys also read VGcats.

Which one is which? WE REPORT, YOU DECIDE!


..no, seriously, I'm fucking tired of VGcats. Chris takes as long to update, but at least his comics are GOOD.

I actually don't. I read a scant ten webcomics, and VGcats is not good enough to make that list.

what are these scant ten?

I've never been able to pick between the two.

man, now I want to do it just to piss you off. in no particular order; PA, goats, DS, achewood, overcompensating, qwantz, BNS, dr mcninja, xkcd, PBF.

pbf is probably the best illustrated comic like, ever

yeah that's pretty much what it is

People all claiming they have Maakies prints, some guy talking about his Kochalka diaries subscription.

I want to know what other people's favorite webcomics are. Actually I found your comment funny because I am (obv.) not hip to these things and the only other one I've found is Perry Bible Fellowship, because I'm not into the videogames or fantasy stuff so much. I do like to read Dykes To Watch Out For online, too, I guess, but that's not really a webcomic.

Was this inspired by Superbad?

Woah, this strip makes me question a lot of others.
Like that one where he's learned German? Exactly how clever is this cat?

The meta-joke has now been established. Kudos to you.

oh. my god.

As I am also not the kind of guy who saw superbad, can someone explain what the similarity is?

One of the characters had an affliction as a child that caused him to compulsively draw penises.

Apparently the artist behind Tank Girl and Gorillaz, Jamie Hewlett, also had this compulsion.

So is that why he marketed a line of vibrators with his artwork on them?

I did not know he had done this. Apparently the Gentlemen's Prerogatives in question were always drawn hammer-shaped, I don't know if that's reflected in the Lady Toys here referred to.

Probably; the main reason being that he has a kid, and kid people do not see movies in the theatre any where near within 3 weeks of the movie's release. It's most likely just an odd happenstance, but curious nonetheless.

yeah, didn't two different guys invent the telephone or something?

shut up, i think it's relevant.

What about those movies with meteors just mowing us all down

Did you watch those

I watched both. Deep Impact had bad science in it, and Armageddon had stupid bad science in it. It was like it was a competition over which movie could rape science the worst..

Sunshine.

The last panel totally makes this comic. Fived.

Dude, this comic is totally dated tomorrow. If Onstad's still in CA, it was only like 5pm when he posted this.

Man, T is being such a vagina-boy in this one; Ray made a damn good joke.

and by You i mean Chris.

So I guess this means The Case of The Cum Shot will forever be a mystery?
Oh well, at least we still get penises.

I've heard this song before...where is it from? Is it from a movie or something, or is it a schoolyard thing?

I remember being made to sing it a lot in elementary school? I don't actually remember where I learned it first.

I cannot give this a chubby because the Acheworld police have decided I am Too Friendly. But I want you to know that this is a very good thing you have done here today (three months ago).

Whoa, you're right - this is a joke from Superbad! I'm surprised no one's mentioned that yet.

This strips is very much like that movie that just came out, Superbad.

Oh yeah.... did anyone mention yet this is like Superbad in any way? I've been searching this page and no individual had mentioned this bears a faint resemblance to Superbad. ;)

Wow, good call! It's just like that scene! You'd think it would have come up already. It's so obvious in retrospect.

I was hoping this strip reference some recent teen angst movie.

How do you guys know that the idea isn't that RAY hasn't seen Superbad and was inspired to pull some shit on Teodor?

clearly.

for what it's worth, I think the reason for the Superbad connection is not just "penis doodle jokes," but the fact that both focus on some one who has a problem in which that's all they can draw; odd coincidence.

And as the person who first posted the "did he see superbad?" question, I also wonder why so many people seemed to keep asking the same damn question. I figured the topic had been covered.

oh hell yess 'stad saw the S'bad. ignore it if you must, you North American.

but really, zefiel, c'mon...the topic has been covered. sarcastic zingers included.

That movie will be called 'Supercool' here in mexico. I shit you not, i just saw the poster. I guess here EVERYTHING IS backwards.

you know, it really works about the same either way. "Superbad" is not a very original name. Seth Rogen lazy. No excuse for crap like that.

Ray may be just goofing on Teodor, but recent trends indicate to me that he seriously needs to see some lady action soon.

No Shit! The same thing happened to me when I wore mine.

Really?

Damn, a guy on the subway just complimented me on mine when I got it.

Although I suppose that was pretty awesome.

You were supposed to clock his ass in ways people thought could not be done.

Well I mean it wasn't really outdoors; I guess I could have, but it wouldn't have been a thing.

In my part of the world, "clock" means "look at". It took a few seconds for me to get that comment. I thought you were advising afkpuz to use infra-red binoculars to check asses out.

Indeed frankly I approve of this concept.

Zefiel you have been incidental here!

That is some rad chillies.

I've been drunk in my Dude & Catastrophe hoody, but that's all.

I thought that the trend of recent strips' body-part and bodily-fluid references correlate to Onstad's kid, who's still at an age where body parts and substances are hilarious.

I'd feel cumshots are too horrifying for a three-year-old to comprehend.

Are any of us beyond an age where body parts are hilarious?

Priceless!

it is a FUCK YOU FRIDAY!!!!!!!!

Is... is that, I mean (calm yourself, man) is that a Fight Club tie?

no, it was a photo of my tie, because I was on my way to a meeting, & I didn't know if it looked good & had no mirror.... I lead a complicated life

Retardo's back! I guess I'll say, "Yay!"

Man Ray is just so pleased.

Well, he invented rayographs and all, he has a right to be pleased.

Today was fuck you friday? That explains my shitty ass day at work.

Might Ray be in denial of a fear of penii?

"penii" is a terrible pluralization, you should be ashamed

oh snap i forgot how butthurt people get when the word nintendo fanboy gets thrown around.

The penis shark.

good catch, hadn't noticed.

I don't see this as a ripoff, I see it as homage.

I don't see this as a ripoff, I see it as homage.

I don't see this as a ripoff, I see it as homage.

Man, it's not a rip off, that kid in Superbad didn't draw dicks accidentally. He did it because he was obsessed with drawing them, not because he was attempting to draw a Nintendo. (of course this is assuming Ray isn't lying and really can't draw anything but phalli).

In the future, everyone will draw dicks for fifteen minutes.

It puts my mind at ease to know they will have finally fixed the public school system.

I've had days like this

So...when Ray was a kid, did his parents pin up his drawings on the fridge or were they too rude?

Clearly, Onstad is ripping off every single person who has ever used Pictochat.

I can just see the obliviously angry fanboys now.

Ray is sitting at a drawing table. He calls Teodor over to tell him about a problem he is having. Apparently, Ray cannot draw anything without it becoming a penis. Teodor, skeptical of Ray's condition, tells Ray to draw a loaf of sourdough bread. This comes out as a penis. Teodor is concerenedly amazed. Teodor asks Ray to draw a Nintendo Entertainment System. Ray illustrates the request as the male genitalia adorned with pubic hair. Teodor sees through the ruse. He leaves, upset. Ray is delighted with his joke. He continues to draw phalluses until Cornelius or Roast Beef comes in.

you're an asshole.
you should register.

when will you learn the golden rule, Zefiel?

"No one should be a cock to a stranger, ever!"

This is classic achewood. The look on Ray's face at his success is wonderful

fuck you people i tried reading through the comments here but between all the lames and all the links and the sheer size of the page it was taking me longer to wait for something to happen than to actually experience it, I GIVE UP less than a quarter of the way through.

go to HELL

I agree somewhat. I start reading a long conversation (usually a heated argument) for some reason, I guess they are usually interesting? and then after like 4 or 5 scrolls down, I'm just like bla I could be reading another strip.

Not that I have a problem with discourse at all, go ahead talk amongst yourselves.

Ray's smile in the last panel is pure comedic gold.

Teodor, panel 7:
dammit, he was right!

"Nobody EVER gets that right!"

Reminiscent of Gibby Haynes' "Perfect Pencil" joke; see Our Band Could Be Your Life by Michael Azerrad, Boston : Little, Brown, 2001
