The last panel of this strip: One of the many Achewood phrases now in my general useage.
doctorother » neu2 years ago
The very first that entered mine. It's the reason I bought the Achewood book in support, and have been loving the strip ever since.

...they ain't got real money see, they got that Yang money...

This is a great thing to say in a Chinese class if you don't like having a good grade.
steerpike66 » neu2 years ago
There's no such thing as a Chinese class. It's a scam, like teaching people to change CDs using telekinesis.
baryonyx » neu2 years ago
No, you can actually do that.
professorhazard » neu1 years ago
What you have to realize about Chinese people is that they are clay goblins who can speak with the sand.
natashamarie » pro2 years ago
I used to feel so alone. Now I know that I am not the only one. Thank you.
zzzleepy » neu2 years ago
hilaracist, of course
shoinan » neu1 years ago
Not to be confused with hella racist, which is bad.
deimosrising » pro2 years ago
Blister shuo zhongwen shuo de bu hao. My Chinese professor thought this strip was hilarious.
Also that is not even close to being the first swear word in Achewood history.
zem » neu2 years ago
I know you're referring to the alt text. Is there some way to access the alt text through this site or do you just follow along on the main site
deimosrising » neu2 years ago
I follow along on the regular site; Chris says that alt text will be added in a later version of Acheworld
lereya » neu2 years ago
Ha ha ha, that's like, the only Chinese phrase I know. That made me excited. That is all.
mikerotch6 » neu1 years ago
First swear word by Blister, I do believe.
zem » neu1 years ago
wow jesus christ your avatar is the worst ive seen probably
bixschmix » neu11 months ago
It makes me want to have a seizure.
mikerotch6 » neu9 months ago
Ain't it grand?
zem » neu9 months ago
i hate you more than i've ever hated a person
centipede_damascus » pro2 years ago
Chinese is insane.
clembot » pro2 years ago
This is definitely one of the best. I too often use the phrase "that would be a good point except..." now.
perhapsmaybe » neu2 years ago
solid gold
bron » pro2 years ago
Chinese people in heaven must have it rough.
mrsmuckles » neu2 years ago
Actually, they would have the upper hand, see, 'cause they'd not only speak heck of Chinese, but also have access to every other language ever.
dejavroom » neu1 years ago
Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown.
daidai » neu8 months ago
Wait wait wait.
How in the HELL are Chinese people gonna get into heaven?
(I promise I'm not racist)
owangutang » pro2 years ago
Tamen mei shuo Hanyu.
deimosrising » pro2 years ago
Zhongwen bi yingwen nan de duo, apparently.
ovenface » neu2 years ago
bu shi! wo bu tongyi ni de kanfa!
...wo jue de blister mei you naozi.
deimosrising » neu2 years ago
the chinese acheworld comment club welcomes its newest member, ovenface. wo hen xihuan ni, ovenface. ni xiang yi xie pijiu ma?
ovenface » neu2 years ago
xie xie! wo ye hen xihuan ni, deimosrising. zhende. danshi, wo bu dong 'ni xiang yi xie pijiu ma'. ruguo ni de yisi shi 'ni xiang bu xiang gen wo yiqi he pijiu', wo hui shuo, 'dui, wo xiang de'.

yingkaixing » neu2 years ago
damnit. ta bu support zi. chaoji lame.
rowboat » pro2 years ago
I just know they're sayin' mean things about me.
professorhazard » neu1 years ago
How can you tell? That shit is all like ching-chong, wing-wong.
This must have been back when it was OK to repeat the strip verbatim.
notgrandom » neu2 years ago
This is the strip that got me hooked on Achewood. My girlfriend bought me a signed print.
billyamericana » pro2 years ago
You just need to do more acid is all.
miles » pro2 years ago
This strip didn't get me into Achewood, but it was the first strip I saw kind of randomly and out of context that I thought was really great.
hannah » neu2 years ago
this is the first signed strip i ever got. <3
jorus » pro2 years ago
And in hell you immediately know how to read.
moot74 » pro2 years ago
This is possibly one of the greatest of the old school strips. Without a doubt, top 5.
phthoggos » neu2 years ago
Uh, guys, Onstad did not invent the most ancient stereotype of the Chinese language

le_chien_manquee » pro2 years ago
this strip will be hanging on my toilet wall once i get off my arse and get it framed. til then it's lying on top of my drug preparation book (the art of spirited away hardback, thanks for asking) so that none of my friends can miss it. although no-one has laughed yet apart from me, every time
epicurus » neu2 years ago
My chinese ex thought this was hilarious, and now frequently says this line when describing Mandarin for any language. She will also just say "Ching Chong Wing Wong" at random times.
jujubeesforjesus » pro2 years ago
This is the first Achewood I ever saw. It was posted in a radio station I worked at. I always used to think "That is raunchy but also hell of humorous." but didn't discover the site till about six months later.
clembot » neu2 years ago
This one is great and classic
tekende » neu2 years ago
One might say it is grassic. Or glassic. Or cleat.
morganization » neu2 years ago
i love todd
catachresis » neu2 years ago
I fucking love Blister's hands here. He changes from his default "arms streched out because I am an Angel" pose to deliver "crazy-talk" gestures.
spectre » pro2 years ago
Alt text: "First swear word!" I think that's true.
philosophe » pro2 years ago
False! I am definitely not afraid of the fucking police.
javonathan » neu2 years ago
first swear word for Blister, fool.
hellofyellin » pro2 years ago
I like that Blister's default posture is Cristo Redentor.
honesttom » neu2 years ago
This was made even funnier for me by the fact that for some reason I imagine Blister speaking in the voice of James Earl Jones.
_cheesekayke » neu2 years ago
Not even close to being the first swear word. What the hell, Chris?
jordstar » neu2 years ago
I'm not 100% sure but I think this was the first strip I read.
professorhazard » neu1 years ago
I am 100% sure that it is the first one I read. Someone posted it on 4chan, and it piqued my interest.
quarantine » pro2 years ago
Any strip with Blister is a 5
empy » pro2 years ago
Best strip ever? Yes.
badganjil » neu2 years ago
Ah, the Ambiguous All-Caps and No Punctuation of the Elder Gods.
theplaidknight » pro2 years ago
The comment before mine makes me sad...but on a side note English is a pretty stupid language too. Anyone who has learned it as a second language can attest to that.
tbtabby » neu1 years ago
Blister learned everything he knows about the Chinese language by watching "The Wild, Wild World of Batwoman."
fineoakstructure » neu1 years ago
Oh man! That brings some memories flooding back. Terrible, nightmare-ish memories.
dorothypoopbot » neu1 years ago
This is the strip that got me into Achewood, at least a year before it says I started on my profile.
seph » neu1 years ago
No asian co-worker is safe since this strip.
mrectomy » pro1 years ago
This is a top contender for my achewood tattoo (the last two panels).
applebed » neu1 years ago
Don't Chinese people go to heaven? :(
bpmead » pro1 years ago
Maybe it's just me but I feel that the 5th panel is even more genius than the 6th. Blister's line caught me so off guard, it's really what makes the strip a 5.
