The heck? Redshifter's picked up another custom title from this thread. Is there no stopping the man?

I'd like to post a strip involving his babysitter, no luck finding them. But I found this.

Nice to see some Achewood discussion in a place rather unrelated to webcomics!
It's a favourite of mine, the humour lacks punchlines almost all the time but is always better for it. It's more about the odd situations and character flaws than standard jokes. When there are jokes they're come in at a strange angle and can take a minute to sink in (ex: "I'm the guy who sucks/plus I got depression").
The character Ray Smuckles is a nice parody of a naive audiophile - he's overly wealthy and has a home security system just to protect his "Harman Kardons." There's a whole story arc about that.
Everyone who I've turned on to Achewood has never gotten it at first, but was nonetheless compelled to read all the archives. Then after a while it "clicked" with them and they understood the jokes. It's a situational thing, maybe?
I was also happy to see Shmorky (Dave Kelly) mentioned here to. I have a drawing of his from 2002 on my wall and I'm glad he's getting a bit of a following!

Also, 1st post. Hi everybody!

I think I brought your thread back to life... only to have it turn out to be a zombie of constant pain and anguish. Sorry, redshifter.


P.S. I always liked Men in Hats:

Bumping this thread to say thanks redshifter!

I was searching for an old thread I posted in and stumbled across this one. I took the advice you gave me and started at the beginning (half a year later, better late than never).

Anyway, you just have to start at the beginning and read through about twenty or so of them to get a good feel for it.

It's RIGHT up my alley. THANKS!

Why were you searching for "Roast Beef" and "suck"?

Anyway, it's great stuff, isn't it!

Thanks multiplied by two, Shedretfir.

Oh haha, redshifter I never got to answer your question from months ago!

"QPI" stood for "Quick People Incorporated."

You are all welcome. Don't forget to hover over the comic to read the alt-text, and to read the blogs, especially Nice Pete's blog.

If it makes the OP feel better, myself and two of my friends read Achewood religiously.
