0087 — Honeymoon Shorties #4/6
Added 2024-09-30 17:00:03 +0000 UTCThis one gets my vote for the Most OG Style Achewood of this entire 6-strip mini-run. Do you think it compares to the year one mentality?
For the next two weeks, while we're away on our honeymoon, I'm running three new strips a week, M-W-F. These are ultra-classic, single-row Achewood strips like you saw in 2001.
I'm posting three a week instead of the usual one-on-Friday because, frankly, posting short strips makes me feel insecure about providing enough value for you, even though I love how this set of six captures the old absurdist flavor of original Achewood. It's me, not you.
Why am I doing short strips at all? Because they show an essential element of the Achewood approach, and it's also becoming a pleasant custom for me to do these during my vacations. They make use of the scratch-and-dent part of my writing file — weird little ideas that can't carry a long-form strip.
Please enjoy the change-up, and when I return, you will probably see a comic about what it's like to honeymoon in Italy during a transportation strike. (Hint: Ray will sit in one restaurant in Minori and eat Pasta alla Garlic Butter until his systolic becomes a hum, like the electric pump of an aquarium).

2024-10-02 14:26:48 +0000 UTCMy dream high school pants were black parachute pants with a matching black members only jacket, just like my friend Bobby had. I never had the funds to realize that dream. I was buying my own clothes at that age. I could have never asked my parents for something like that. Bobby was two years older then me and I thought everything he did or said was incredible. A couple of decades later I was comfortable enough in my own skin to acknowledge I had a little high school crush on him.. Actually it was my wife who pointed it out to me. Life winds around you like a cat winds around your legs asking for a treat, always take the time to bend down and give your life a few pats.

2024-10-01 23:56:29 +0000 UTCThis hits such a sweetspot of unsettling surrealism that it's actually somehow upsetting and will be the last thing I think of before falling into bendy-limbed dreams
