I’ve been meaning to wax evangelistic about Achewood for some time now. It is, by an urban kilometre, my favourite webcomic, and probably in my top 10 of favourite anything. Drawn and wrote by a feller named Chris Onstad, it concerns the life and times of a group of cats, stuffed toys, robots and an otter in a fictional Californian suburb.
There’s far more depth to the characters and the storylines than in most webcomics (so much so that Time magazine named Achewood their number one graphic novel of 2007). The writing throughout is livelier than a sack of eels at a ska concert, being a weird mix of white boy hip-hop, tortured poetics and old school English gentleman, and the plots are twisted genius. Witness: Ray Sells His Soul/Ray + Beef Road Trip, The Great Outdoor Fight and, most recently, Roast Beef’s greeting card business.
A+, and so on.
A short blog about the coolness of other people.
1) “And all the while your silver-brown moon-foxed face gives me full throb, hard and wet, something akin to a cement mixer and a tropical dishwasher going at it like mechanical bullfrogs in full view of a thousand cock-fisted jackhammers.”
Bête de Jour has a way with words.
2) Via The Chancer, some fellas and a lady have sweded Rawhead Rex. In contravention of all existing treaties on Irish comedy, it’s actually very funny. (If you haven’t seen the film, watch the trailer first.)
If you’re in the market for some laffs and bad grammar, be sure to read up on happenings as they pertain to my main dude Andy.
I saw an ad for a new series of Most Haunted the other day. This thing has been going for a long time, and there are a lot of regionalised versions – surely by now they must have covered all the most haunted places. How many spooky castles and abandoned insane asylums are there in the world? I understand that Quite Haunted or A Bit Eerie At Night aren’t very catchy names, but this is blatant false advertising.
At some point, logically speaking, they’re going to end up airing Least Haunted. Have teams wandering around supermarkets and such. Get some screaming biddies and slap a night vision filter on the camera and you’re set.
In other news, please to follow this link. It’s a selection from a book entitled 100 Photographs That Changed The World, and there’s some amazing stuff in there. And on a lighter note, this provided me with several chuckles.
