I never 'got' Achewood. I considered a Buddy Bradley tattoo. Maybe I should get Zero from Beetle Bailey. posted by jonmc at 5:58 PM on September 27, 2007
The images really illustrate the difficulty of summing up Achewood with a single panel. posted by obvious at 6:09 PM on September 27, 2007
Y'know, the pics that keep getting posted of jonmc have always reminded me of someone, but I could never put my finger on it. He's totally Buddy Bradley, maybe minus the flooby arms and legs. posted by lekvar at 6:10 PM on September 27, 2007
You just figured that out, lekvar? It goes even deeper: my wife's name is Lisa and I'm friends with a guy named 'Stinky.' And I work in a used bookstore.

How would you explain an Achewood tattoo in prison? posted by Blazecock Pileon at 7:02 PM on September 27, 2007
Although I knew (some) of the history of the user, I never knew the context for that name. That's great. posted by yhbc at 7:08 PM on September 27, 2007

That was my motto too back when I was a wage-slave. Now my one-man scooter ride to the edge of oblivion is non-stop. posted by Abiezer at 8:20 PM on September 27, 2007
I just begged Blazecock Pileon for a name-history like two days ago.

Let's drown this baby up a notch.
Jon, you and me are just going to have to disagree on Achewood, my position is: I love it as much as I love Metafilter. Which is to say... All the fucking way. posted by Divine_Wino at 8:41 PM on September 27, 2007
I never knew a web comic could be so polarizing. It's like the cartoonist eats Iraqi babies, but on the other hand they might be terrarists. posted by Blazecock Pileon at 10:02 PM on September 27, 2007
I'd get inked with Teodor if anything. I identify with him, especially when he is going to put Ray's heirloom merkin in the scrambled eggs.

I'd get an Achewood tattoo on my ass if it was free. Too bad I live so far from Oregon. No way I'll make it in time. Hell, I'd even post photos of it being done! posted by Eekacat at 1:08 AM on September 28, 2007

If I were a badass I'd get Lyle on my chest. I'd probably end up with Philippe on my back, his oblong head stretched from shoulders to waist, that weird mouth of his doing that guppy little smile. posted by spikeleemajortomdickandharryconnickjrmints at 4:54 AM on September 28, 2007
Whyncha get the Chevy emblem on your chest like Lyle? posted by Don Pepino at 5:55 AM on September 28, 2007
"Achewood sucks" sucks posted by kcds at 7:42 AM on September 28, 2007
Actually, the car silhouette from this one would be really swank. posted by churl at 2:49 PM on September 28, 2007
Wino, Blazecock: I didn't say it sucked, it just isn't my cup of tea. Too cerebral. I like my comedy smart but obnoxious. posted by jonmc at 4:53 PM on September 28, 2007
