0009 - Return of Achewood, pt 7
Added 2023-06-30 17:00:09 +0000 UTCIn this penultimate installment of the Return to Achewood arc, we take a brief moment to show appreciation for the genius of Max Fleischer. If you were, like our special guest, born in the 1920s, there may have been no contemporary art more unsettling to you than his "jazz cigarette" approach to character design and kinetics. Here we see Lie Bot's continuing propensity to stir up trouble by flickering into disguise — this time as B. Boop. Other things happen, as well.

Love a lie bot.

2024-04-13 15:19:42 +0000 UTCThe degree of personal humiliation and probable data piracy that Lie Bot just visited on Teodor (remember what was happening before Pooh walked into the room) is earth-shattering, which you can tell because Teodor was moved to call out the central joke of Lie Bot (his unexplained continued existence in the lives and houses of characters who gain nothing positive by his presence).

2023-07-02 15:34:29 +0000 UTCIf Lyle had just agreed to get high with T, maybe they could've had a nice, mellow evening and Pooh would still be with us. Always burn the bush, kids.

2023-07-01 11:09:51 +0000 UTCLove that poor Pooh gets to Achewood and then dies within 7 comics. Feels right.

2023-07-01 02:39:58 +0000 UTCTeodor and Lyle certainly have their differences, but they have at least one thing in common: the willingness to visit well-deserved violence upon Lie Bot.

2023-06-30 17:22:33 +0000 UTCMax's genius on the business side. He was an asshole who enjoyed suing people (such as Helen Kane, who was the visual and audio model for Betty Boop. Max fired her and took her voice, just like what happened to John K with Ren & Stimpy). He also made a ton of bad decisions like "let's animate Gulliver's Travels!" His brother Dave was a genius, and a super nice guy who brought Superman (then a brand new comic book hero) to the movies for an astonishing million 1940 bucks an episode. The real hero of Fleischer Studios is Grim Natwick, who drew and animated Betty Boop. Like fellow pioneer Ub Iwerks (who drew and animated Disney's Oswald the Rabbit and the now-seen-on-pornhub Steamboat Mickey), his contribution is all but forgotten. This strip reminds me of Windsor McKay, actually. I dig it.
