0003 - A Diversion!
Added 2023-05-19 17:00:02 +0000 UTCIn this momentary departure from the story arc already in place, Lyle and Téodor come to strong words over the nature of psychopharmacological distraction. Professional readers will note that Lyle still wears his "Registered Asshole" glasses (title legally assigned August 27, 2007). Next week we return to the story already in progress.

2024-03-30 15:14:06 +0000 UTCman I just snapped back into sentience, too. Achewood is back, a plague is on, and I'm many years SOBER???? WHAT YEAR IS IT??? (I agree completely with Lyle, btw.)

2023-06-09 04:58:09 +0000 UTCIt‘s a hell of a sacrifice to make just to have fire sticks imho

2023-06-09 04:56:00 +0000 UTCas a fellow modern day highman (read: titty boy) I can confirm that all I want from Delta 8 is for it to make petting the cat feel like an electrified dream and for me to see the concept of living as doable
Daniel Leach
2023-05-28 05:40:27 +0000 UTCYes, that's exactly what you can do. They have "budtenders" that'll help you find exactly what you're looking for as they all have like 100 different types.
AuEllai
2023-05-27 02:02:29 +0000 UTCI do not imbide(gun owner) but my understanding is that they straight up ask what you're looking for and recommend different strains. Some of the places are very boutique. I would be surprised if my state isn't going to run it through the ABC store system tho.
GruntyGinMan
2023-05-24 15:50:09 +0000 UTCLyle's not wrong and also, from someone from a non legalized state, can you really just walk into a weed store and say "Hi I am going to see Floating Points tonight and I would like to feel perfect and not scared at all, and have the music sound even better" and they just hand you the exact right thing?

E Corcoran
2023-05-21 23:59:33 +0000 UTCI feel like the notes under the strip are the new alt text, only better because there's a lil more room to stretch out

2023-05-21 16:06:35 +0000 UTCLyle's blog is low-key the reason that Lyle might be my favourite character.

2023-05-20 12:09:11 +0000 UTCI don't think Patreon really supports alt texts, going by the previous discussions.

2023-05-20 12:08:19 +0000 UTC"no wonder god sends asteroids" is going straight to the top of the Responses To Minor Grievances list. i am savoring this strip like a fine wine. hooray, man!

2023-05-20 03:09:38 +0000 UTCIs there alt-text somewhere or am I missing it?
E Corcoran
2023-05-20 02:51:43 +0000 UTCLyle has a point about nearness to death being necessary for some of us to enjoy life. The nearness required varies greatly.

2023-05-20 02:10:49 +0000 UTCThis is honestly probably the golden age. I strongly suspect people with more money than me are paying people smarter than me to develop "slow dependence subscription based happiness pharmaceuticals" which will be cosigned by Congress and encouraged in the workplace soon.

Doctor Memory
2023-05-20 00:20:52 +0000 UTCYup. Did we lose something in the transition to artisanal legal weed? Absolutely. Would I go back to the old days on a bet? Not on your goddamn life: I'm an old man and no aspect of my world would be improved by having to talk to a 17 year old drug dealer like some kind of animal or college student.

2023-05-19 21:50:47 +0000 UTCOlder folks love to brag about how they didn't use/didn't have seatbelts growing up and I'm like my dude none of your crew who fucked around and found out via this particular laisse-faire attitude towards basic physics is still around to offer a counterpoint, seeing as how they supermanned their way through a windshield back in '78

2023-05-19 21:49:55 +0000 UTCEvery strip has at least one or two lines destined to become classics. This one has around eight.
Chris Gumprich
2023-05-19 21:46:14 +0000 UTCHe's got a good point though. Drinking was fun when you're wandering around Southern Brooklyn in a daze, a bottle of warm rum in a paper bag, dodging cops and hanging out on park benches and closed playgrounds. Even when you're doing a wild house party where people are crushing cans. But when it's all like bar or restaurant... what's the point?
Silver Smoulder
2023-05-19 20:24:49 +0000 UTCI just reread the 2005 strip where Little Nephew sells T some "dried oregano" and I'm very curious about how Charley has weathered all these changes to his vocation.

Don Rowe
2023-05-19 19:42:08 +0000 UTCIt's interesting how Lyle's glasses have gone from being coded as "the cheapest frames you can get at Optometry-4-Less" to now being the frames that hip young folks wear.

2023-05-19 19:24:36 +0000 UTCtheyre both right actually

2023-05-19 18:14:43 +0000 UTCI think I should play Lyle in the Achewood movie. https://media.cosocial.ca/media_attachments/files/110/396/716/407/239/794/original/cc1bcae528cc9481.webp

2023-05-19 18:01:25 +0000 UTCThe entire last panel is worth a month’s Patre-fee.
Andrew
2023-05-19 17:49:04 +0000 UTCSometimes with Achewood I like to imagine the first panel and the last panel as its own mini comic. This one is pretty great.
Bungus Bronbo
2023-05-19 17:47:19 +0000 UTCCheck out Lyle’s blog the time he got sober
Chris Onstad
2023-05-19 17:46:45 +0000 UTCHaha, that absolutely checks out! Téodor caught him at his peak it seems xD
Allie
2023-05-19 17:39:09 +0000 UTCFirst it was the coffee, then it was a microbrews, now it's the weed. Portland leaves the world in preciousness. Also in getting your gas tank drilled for $5 worth of gas if you happen to drive a Toyota truck.

Christopher Malone
2023-05-19 17:31:14 +0000 UTCIs it just me or has Lyle become more eloquent over the break? Dude's secretly been working on his English degree over the years it seems!
Allie
2023-05-19 17:30:44 +0000 UTCI’d like Cornelius to weigh in on the state of drug adulteration during his salad days. Soviet veterinary solvent would have been a luxury.

2023-05-19 17:14:58 +0000 UTCReading Lyle yelling about drugs feels like coming home to a warm bath. Achewood is back and things are looking up.

Captain Chaos
2023-05-19 17:11:09 +0000 UTCGetting high should make you miserable 100% of the time so when you do it to feel like you’re literally standing at the gates of hell, the boys know how hardcore you are

Cf Duddy
2023-05-19 17:07:11 +0000 UTCthe answer? is yes!
Stavro
2023-05-19 17:06:43 +0000 UTCExactly. I wanted it to feel like old times. But the next strip returns to the “Public Domain” arc.

2023-05-19 17:04:36 +0000 UTCHell yeah, the best worst guy and the worst best guy are back! Which is which? I'll never tell!
EndgamerAzari
2023-05-19 17:04:25 +0000 UTCOf COURSE Lyle has opinions about how using legal weed makes you a massive sell-out square gobshite

2023-05-19 17:04:08 +0000 UTCIs there anything more Achewood than the third comic being a diversion from the arc?
