Todd is an excellent Carla.
fallow_fields » pro 2 years ago
lol, beef's laugh is the best. Even at his most amused, a simple 'hee hee' is all that comes out
saint » neu 1 years ago
his eyes look like one Pacman chasing another. Cute.
brokeaccount » neu 2 months ago
The one on the left is burping.
catachresis » neu 2 years ago
Mr. Bear is Frasier.
mira » pro 2 years ago
Totally. His is the only voice I can imagine, because I am imagining it as Frasier's.
catachresis » neu 2 years ago
I have slightly revised my opinion, in that I can't decide between Kelsey Grammer and Stephen Fry for Cornelius' voice. So difficult.
zeroasalimit » neu 2 years ago
Kelsey Grammer. If he dies, then Fry. Also, although Frasier is the classiest fictional character on television, Mr. Bear has him outclassed.
spinynorman » neu 1 years ago
Stephen Fry is considerably more English than Kelsey Grammer, whose characters are pretty pompous but whose actual life is like a coked-up trainwreck, and the train was filled with Playboy Bunnies.

As Stephen Fry played Jeeves himself from Wodehouse, and Cornelius seems to be largely inspired by Wodehouse, the match is already made. I mean, Fry himself said his fucking vocal chords are practically made of tweed.
zeroasalimit » neu 1 years ago
Damn man, way to lay the logic down. I like Wodehouse aswell. I must capitulate to your point of view.
danbicker » neu 1 months ago
I am late but I feel it must be said: David McCallum. He is the true voice of Cornelius Bear.
lolsworth » pro 1 months ago
Stephen Fry is not a Republican so he wins the tiebreak.
squi » neu 1 years ago
Ugh, no. The Frasier character is way too full of himself, and I would hate to see any of that bleed into Mr. Bear through Kelsey Grammer's voice. James Earl Jones all the way.
ford » neu 1 years ago
It is weird that you would go from Kelsey Grammer to James Earl Jones. I can't even imagine James Earl (awesome though he may be) speaking in a British accent. But wouldn't it be great, if in this fictional animated series James Earl Jones came on as a bunch of small-part characters? Imagine the voice of, say, Robert Johnson, or the guy on the phone that buys Ray's soul for a piano.

You mean, THE DEVIL?
mystkmanat » neu 1 months ago
RACIST.
ford » neu 1 years ago
Complaining about some lames is the best way to add to the pile.
lawdog » neu 2 years ago
Kelsey to this day studies old Achewoods in the hopes of being half as classy as Cornelius. I think David Bowie should get the honors.
catachresis » neu 2 years ago
I think David Bowie would do a good job as RLS AKA TMWTBOHH*. Imagine this strip, with David Bowie's voice, all totally not being able to do the southern accent, but the amazing synth music in the background makes it amazing. Possibly.

*Is this an officially sanctioned acronym?
alphagator » neu 1 years ago
man before I realized that was supposed to be an acronym I thought it was Lovecraftian
spinynorman » neu 1 years ago
I thought he was mocking the debate by filling in gibberish in place of a reference. It was pretty hilarious when I read it, and then when I finished it it got even funnier.
hassanoleary » neu 1 years ago
I bet Willem Dafoe would make a good Ramses/Rodney.
zeal » neu 1 years ago
No. The only man who can do justice to Ramses Luther is Powers Boothe.
kelsotimebomb » neu 1 years ago
"Little girl, I'm going to fill your mouth with spiders."

GOD yes.
tonyhighwind » neu 5 months ago
Neither of you have seen Boondock Saints, have you?
tekende » neu 1 years ago
Michael Caine maybe. Not Bowie. Much as I love Bowie, his speaking voice is a little too effete for Ramses.
farqussus » neu 1 years ago
I can't imagine Cornelius from London.

"Ere. Just a momentary diversion. on the road. to the grave, my young china."

No I think not.
tekende » neu 1 years ago
Naw, I'm thinking, like, Secondhand Lions Michael Caine. Trying admirably but ultimately failing at a Southern US accent, you know?
tekende » neu 7 months ago
For Ramses, not Cornelius, fyi.
jhunt » neu 2 years ago
Those Pac-Man eyes squick me out something fierce.
saurkraus » pro 2 years ago
I think that's a reference to the really old-school Mickey Mouse drawings.
closefriend » pro 2 years ago
I was going to talk about how Beef in this strip should be called "Steamboat Beefy," but that opens up a whole new can of worms.
relaxing » neu 2 years ago
Compare/contrast the "Stoned Lightning" eyes?
centipede_damascus » pro 2 years ago
Almost the best Achewood ever.
rotating-dog » pro 2 years ago
Well it comes damn close. An obvious favourite, you might notice.
wolfslice » pro 2 years ago
haha, this one's gotta be in my top 3
untilyouaresonude » pro 2 years ago
The Woody hair is amazing. Harrelson should be notified, if he doesn't read already.
ghostd » neu 2 years ago
Oh, hee hee hee!
delzhand » neu 2 years ago
I think this last panel should replace the current graphic for rating a comic a 5.
zem » neu 2 years ago
yeah actually

and replace 4 with the current 5
stuart » neu 1 years ago
ideally you would get like 20 of these
thegrapist » pro 2 years ago
oh my goodness!
sherwood » neu 2 years ago
Now i finally know what to use that set of Mii eyes for.

Oh, hee hee.
thicker » pro 2 years ago
Beef's eyes in the last panel are henceforth to be known as "Davide" eyes (see 04/23/2007). Or vice-versa, you know, whatever.
slanger » neu 2 years ago
Yeah! Glazed with glee.
hexjumper » neu 2 years ago
This is the other moment that takes Roast Beef from being one-note to being a more rounded character - his friends pull him out of an awesome depression and into being a part of the group. It's also the first time that we see Ray using his money - or, in this case, connections - to cheer up Roast Beef.

Also, Phillipe makes an awesome Woody.
woodenteeth » neu 1 years ago
dude. really. oh man. that totally reads like a wrong-end-of-a-three-coffee-day post.
everything_is_a_hat » neu 2 years ago
I don't think Beef has ever been so happy.
phthoggos » pro 2 years ago
5'd for the last panel alone.
deancain29 » pro 2 years ago
Todd owns this version of Carla - he freakin owns it.
epicurus » pro 2 years ago
Oh, hee hee hee!
Oh, Hee hee!
qatipay » neu 2 years ago
is this both the nicest Todd's ever been and the happiest Beef's ever been??
peterjoel » neu 1 years ago
if Todd was a woman, he would actually be Carla
tinhand » neu 2 years ago
That last panel is actually LMAO funny. He seems to go completely hysterical. Definitely 5/5.
atticusonline » neu 2 years ago
wakka wakka wakka
prolefeed5 » pro 1 years ago
The fact that Cornelius, Todd and Phillipe are assigned so perfectly to Cheers characters is almost kind of creepy... (not so sure about Teodore, but he's a complicated character).
tripleg » pro 8 months ago
ideally, ray would be sam, but then ray couldn't give the tour
trollcollins » neu 1 years ago
The final panel is a horrifying rictus when viewed in isolation (i.e. out of context).
mattylite » pro 1 years ago
You mean a horrifying rictus that I... ...Boned?

trollcollins » neu 1 years ago
I mean yeah sure if you are into eyeballs that have cleaved from the intense pressure of joy being felt. Go to town with that.
mattylite » pro 1 years ago
You mean the town that I... ...Boned?
prolefeed5 » pro 1 years ago
I see what you did there...
milkpants » neu 1 years ago
i never liked cheers 'til i liked this strip
gopacapulco » neu 1 years ago
This is the funniest strip i've read so far
gethen » pro 1 years ago
Is this the first time we see Cornelius out of his robe and in one of his delightful suits?
johnnyc » neu 1 years ago
I got a "The Dude Is From Circumstances" tee this Christmas and reacted exactly like Beef in the last panel.
filossoapeyed » pro 1 years ago
In the almost seven years this strip has been running, you will never see a happier Beef than a Beef with Cheers on the brain. So what if he's experienced heaven? So what if he's marrying his dream girl? Cheers is his true love.
eiv » neu 1 years ago
my vote was #666
direhaggis » pro 1 years ago
#0000FF --> /#0000FF
pzukowski » pro 1 years ago
Beef's grinning glee gives me hope.
octafish » neu 1 years ago
Pffft, Cheers is not Cheers without Norm and Cliffy, oh Ratzenburger, the intricate falsehoods you weaved remind me of simpler times.
intelligentblue » neu 1 years ago
the happiest you will ever see Roast Beef
mercuri0us » pro 11 months ago
Beef looks like he's going to explode with joy.

Oh, hee hee hee!
Hee hee!
Oh, hee hee hee!
Hee hee hee hee hee hee heeeeeeeeeBOOOOOMMM.
br633 » pro 10 months ago
I love it just for that look on Roast Beef's face at the end.
scorpio_nadir » pro 7 months ago
Beef's eyes in the last pane showing the love he never thought he'd get- priceless.
applebed » neu 7 months ago
Beef's eyes frighten me here.
rhymebomb » neu 6 months ago
This is the best Achewood.
wallabeechamp » neu 5 months ago
See? Ray truly cares for Roast Beef, he just never knows how to show it!
carlyle » neu 3 months ago
Five for last panel.
fakedaisies » pro 2 months ago
Yes. Between that and "Carla" asking to be hit with a folding chair in lieu of an abortion, this is probably my favorite strip.
