This week's strip ended up needing to be a breathing room pacer. Spare of words, spare of dense barbs and wordplay, and more a platform for the two old friends to reconnect using their proprietary devices. And, of course, Ray's assumption that Leo's dead body would just disappear back to heaven needed to be proven wrong, so they have something really weird to do together next time. And then I'm feeling a nice Fuck You Friday coming on.

The pretentious bear is insulted by the old lady. He has hit rock bottom.

Amy Lewis

Sondra bringing the brass, my stars!

Morgan

My head canon is that Teodor let slip that he had a dream where Ray says that to him exactly once to Beef or Connie or someone and it spread like wildfire and no one will ever let him live it down. If Sondra's in on the joke it is never going away.

Ryan Boyle

Prank calling, just like small times! That's what reconnecting looks like.

Amy Lewis

I will never tire of Ray's delighted expression. (It does not seem fairly fixed.)

Teodor was busking the Cure until everyone took his guitar away

Omnithea

Breakwave Saga Book XII: The Realm of Ass

I have had a frustrating day and the one-two punch of Sondra and "Beers In Heaven" made it all worth it.

Julie (HiDeeHoGal)

I just burned off 75 blood sugars! Now I can have a lot of farmer's market strawberries and unsweetened whipped cream! Fuck Yous are on me you guys.

Bruce Wright

I LOVE these Robert Jordan books!

b.zap

Everyone made sure I missed that opportunity

Achewood

It was just for fun. Sondra would never de-ladify and act this way.

Achewood

non-canon alert! Just for kicks ...but it felt so good

Achewood

It's impossible Sandra would ever say a thing like this, so it's just for enjoyment this one time.

Achewood

Right — you don't prank call someone you don't care about. Unless it's random people in the phone book. Or whatever is the place you get phone numbers now.

Achewood

It's the happiest thing I know how to draw, aside from Philippe getting walk-around butt

Achewood

Technically, he was busking the first twenty seconds of the few Cure songs he knew. Guys like him never make it past the switch to chorus.

Achewood

welcome back, my friend. Welcome back to.../nutritious nonsense/

We grow our strawberries in pure allulose so they are non glycemic

Achewood

Maybe not the mother we want, but the mother we need.

Miles McMahon

I feel like the interaction between Sondra and T is like from a blooper reel. Reminds me of the Thundercats bloopers that circulated the internet back in small times.

MUMM-RA: "CHEETARAH! SHOW ME YOUR TITS"

Bungus Bronbo

Sincerely glad that Beef got another comment on the dude's thighs. I think the $5 patreon subscribers deserve to know that Leo hates his rockin' thighs.

A. Hamster

I hung that comic in my bathroom and also hid pistachios in the medicine cabinet for nosy guests

Uncle Elephant

Chris, I love that you clearly are deriving as much joy out of your sterling gold punch line "Eat a REALM of ass, Téodor!" as (some? all? of) your audience. Sometimes a joke-teller (e.g., most children) is more enamored of their joke than is their audience; this is not one of those instances

Clench and Cheese

The Tears in Heaven reminded me of Brian Jonestown Massacre's Anton Newcomb saying "People always talk about Eric Clapton but what the fuck has he ever done aside from pushing his son off a ledge and writing a song about it?"

Achewood

Good point. I have no idea, but generally assume anyone willing to subscribe has read through most of the original archives.

Achewood

Thank you. I think this line will live in infamy for a good while, at various levels of prominence and obfuscation.

Achewood

Don't forget a lifetime of bluesy little squibs and wanka-noodles nobody asked for

Amy Lewis

Holy nonsense, that is amazing

Ben Wilinofsky

Oh my god I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard my face hurt. If you ever go back to selling signed comics I may need a 4-panel of Sondra telling Teodor to eat a REALM of ass

Achewood

Lovely. There may actually be enough pent up demand for me to do a week of offering framed strips again. I could see this one going into multiple printings.

Lionstooth

I like the implication that the crowd surged upon him all at once, à la "The Lottery." Do we think they bore the guitar off in one piece, or each claimed a fragment as a souvenir?

Lionstooth

porkchop sandwich, extra cheese

Achewood

Seeing as this would have been a Sensible group, doing a Sensible act, I like to think they kept the resale value of the guitar intact, to help fund the group.

Max Crowe

When Chris hangs up that line for a while and moves onto other things, it's gonna be an absolute scream when it comes roaring back for an encore appearance, as I hope and know it will

Sondra would never need to verbally express such a sentiment. She would simply shoot Teodor with a glare so simultaneously withering and pitying that he would know deep in his bones, that she wished him to eat a REALM of ass, somewhere far away from her.

2scrogz

@Morgan I had pretty much the same thought though... while the Sondra bit seems out-of-universe, Ray & Beef prank-calling Teodor relentlessly seems like quintessential Achewood. Reminds me of the Badass Games, where Teodor attempted to make bread, but "folded with a focus and intensity normally seen in successes."

Sort of begs the question, Who would win the Eating A Realm Of Ass face off
