But will they have Airwolf, lasers and the head of Keith Moon? http://m.assetbar.com/achewood/uuacdNd5L

http://m.assetbar.com/achewood/uuacmn9vC This is why.

I think I accidentally tuned into a conversation between Lie-Bot and Vlad.

I like this one ... it's the most XKCDesque.

Here's the thing about Achewood: it has a very large cast of characters with very distinct voices. COMPLETELY distinct. These characters have been developed in ways that comic strips running for decades have not managed.

It's not uncommon for me to read a whole archive of webcomics in a single sitting. I read all of "MacHall" on Saturday. By the time I went through all four years of strips, there were only two characters I could identify as having distinct personalities. Everyone else spoke with the same voice.

That's how most comics are. Someone says something stupid or controversial. Drinking or violence ensues.

Achewood is the opposite; the characters are so fully realized that they BLOG in their distinct voices. The interview touches on this with the two main characters, but it extends to literally all the characters in the strip.

Achewood's humor is wry and absurdist. It's not the humor of a newspaper comic strip and it's not the humor of a typical webcomic. It's off in a space of its own. It's a bit like watching the best bits of Seinfeld after a 24 hour marathon of Golden Girls. Some people say that Achewood isn't funny, but all I can say to them is that there's a 1982 Subaru Brat waiting for them when they get to hell.

With the amount of webcomics available, there has to be one with an internet stabbing device, and that comic is Achewood. I'm guessing it gets additional points for featuring outsourcing of the design to India, although no GRITS are involved.
