Lost Strip: 2009, Téodor Writing Lyle's Biography
Added 2023-08-09 17:17:56 +0000 UTCI recently came across this fourteen-year-old artboard from March of 2009, and I can't find it anywhere in the published archive or via the dialogue search service, so I suspect it was considered "not good enough" and subsequently lost to the sands of time. Today, in 2023, I actually consider it a perfectly passable strip, and because its content is true to the (fairly loose, admittedly) internal rules of the Achewood universe, I'm posting it in all three tiers, as a fun little treat that everyone should have seen way back in the first place.
If I am wrong, and this was actually posted in some forgotten yet still visible cranny of the slowly-listing Achewood world-barge, well, "so what," I guess.

2024-03-17 19:00:58 +0000 UTCone of those anachronisms that maybe stings a bit more than the others

2023-08-27 18:28:06 +0000 UTCI mean, I laughed at most of Teodor’s pitches here, so more than good enough I suppose.

2023-08-10 00:47:25 +0000 UTCNick Nolte’s mugshot with a hole cut out for Tom Waits’ mouth is one of those things you’d never put together on your own but it just fits together like tetris pieces

2023-08-09 19:38:48 +0000 UTCI would count "plastic grocery bag bursting with ground beef and Schlitz" as one of the sickest burns in the strip.

2023-08-09 18:32:37 +0000 UTCWhen I get psychotic enough to imagine that someone might make a movie about my travels, which have as much to say for themselves as a bowl of fruit on a table, I sometimes wonder if they could get actors that I remember from my youth to play me. Someone like James Spader, or Anthony Edwards, or a gross amalgam of the two. This seemed impossible to me until the advent of modern AI horseshit that's probably gonna leave all those poor SAG/AFTRA folks out in the cold. I'm not saying the aggrieved don't have a point, or that they don't have rights, I'm suggesting that everyday they continue to beg for more gruel from the talentless bean-counters and the fat cats that employ them, the more those very same, very rich executives might probably rather deal with a block of software that doesn't care how it's treated or compensated. Is it right? No. Do things like that happen everyday? Yes.

2023-08-09 17:39:50 +0000 UTCI did wonder if maybe it had been in assetbar/fanflow. I don’t have an obvious way of finding that out, so here you go (again). Thanks!

2023-08-09 17:38:48 +0000 UTCThis is great stuff! I like Teodor's Garth Marenghi-esque prose

2023-08-09 17:35:22 +0000 UTCYeah, it's got a Pete Cropes vibe, but I think the Nick Nolte cutout would be good. Especially if it stank of bum-level BO.

Brian Sutton
2023-08-09 17:23:02 +0000 UTCNick Nolte’s mugshot with a cutout for Tom Waits’ mouth has to be the most accurate visual representation of Lyle imaginable - that’s just genius! It’s in the fanflow, I think…
