lol, beef's laugh is the best. Even at his most amused, a simple 'hee hee' is all that comes out

his eyes look like one Pacman chasing another. Cute.

Mr. Bear is Frasier.
mira » pro1 years ago
Totally. His is the only voice I can imagine, because I am imagining it as Frasier's.
riazm » neu1 years ago
Agreed, Kelsey Grammer must play Mr Bear in the Achewood animated series.
catachresis » neu1 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 » neu11 months ago
Kelsey Grammer. If he dies, then Fry. Also, although Frasier is the classiest fictional character on television, Mr. Bear has him outclassed.
spinynorman » neu8 months 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 » neu8 months ago
Damn man, way to lay the logic down. I like Wodehouse aswell. I must capitulate to your point of view.
squi » neu8 months 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.

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.

Complaining about some lames is the best way to add to the pile.
lawdog » neu10 months 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 » neu10 months 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 » neu8 months ago
man before I realized that was supposed to be an acronym I thought it was Lovecraftian
spinynorman » neu8 months 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 » neu6 months ago
I bet Willem Dafoe would make a good Ramses/Rodney.
zeal » neu4 months ago
No. The only man who can do justice to Ramses Luther is Powers Boothe.

"Little girl, I'm going to fill your mouth with spiders."
GOD yes.
tekende » neu3 weeks ago
Michael Caine maybe. Not Bowie. Much as I love Bowie, his speaking voice is a little too effete for Ramses.
farqussus » neu1 weeks 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.
jhunt » neu1 years ago
Those Pac-Man eyes squick me out something fierce.
saurkraus » pro1 years ago
I think that's a reference to the really old-school Mickey Mouse drawings.
closefriend » pro1 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 » neu11 months ago
Compare/contrast the "Stoned Lightning" eyes?
centipede_damascus » pro1 years ago
Almost the best Achewood ever.
rotating-dog » pro11 months ago
Well it comes damn close. An obvious favourite, you might notice.
wolfslice » pro1 years ago
haha, this one's gotta be in my top 3
untilyouaresonude » pro1 years ago
The Woody hair is amazing. Harrelson should be notified, if he doesn't read already.
ghostd » neu1 years ago
Oh, hee hee hee!
delzhand » neu1 years ago
I think this last panel should replace the current graphic for rating a comic a 5.
zem » neu1 years ago
yeah actually
and replace 4 with the current 5
stuart » neu7 months ago
ideally you would get like 20 of these
thegrapist » pro1 years ago
oh my goodness!
sherwood » neu1 years ago
Now i finally know what to use that set of Mii eyes for.
Oh, hee hee.
thicker » pro1 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 » neu11 months ago
Yeah! Glazed with glee.
hexjumper » neu1 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 » neu3 months ago
dude. really. oh man. that totally reads like a wrong-end-of-a-three-coffee-day post.
everything_is_a_hat » neu1 years ago
I don't think Beef has ever been so happy.
phthoggos » pro1 years ago
5'd for the last panel alone.
deancain29 » pro1 years ago
Todd owns this version of Carla - he freakin owns it.
epicurus » pro1 years ago
Oh, hee hee hee!
Oh, Hee hee!
qatipay » neu11 months ago
is this both the nicest Todd's ever been and the happiest Beef's ever been??
peterjoel » neu7 months ago
if Todd was a woman, he would actually be Carla
tinhand » neu11 months ago
That last panel is actually LMAO funny. He seems to go completely hysterical. Definitely 5/5.
atticusonline » neu10 months ago
wakka wakka wakka
prolefeed5 » pro8 months 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).
trollcollins » neu6 months ago
The final panel is a horrifying rictus when viewed in isolation (i.e. out of context).
mattylite » pro2 months ago
You mean a horrifying rictus that I... ...Boned?
trollcollins » neu2 months 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 » pro2 months ago
You mean the town that I... ...Boned?
prolefeed5 » pro1 weeks ago
I see what you did there...
milkpants » neu5 months ago
i never liked cheers 'til i liked this strip
gopacapulco » neu5 months ago
This is the funniest strip i've read so far
gethen » pro4 months ago
Is this the first time we see Cornelius out of his robe and in one of his delightful suits?
johnnyc » neu4 months ago
I got a "The Dude Is From Circumstances" tee this Christmas and reacted exactly like Beef in the last panel.
filossoapeyed » pro4 months 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 » neu4 months ago
my vote was #666
direhaggis » pro2 months ago
#0000FF --> /#0000FF
pzukowski » pro2 months ago
Beef's grinning glee gives me hope.
