0164 — DadMall (Patreon)

Between family trips, tagging along on my wife's work events, visiting Hayden, and seeing my various fellas, I am in an airplane several times per day. While I cannot say I miss the whiz-bang features of the in-flight magazines ("Food...in Spain!"), or the graphological forensics of their careworn crosswords, I do most certainly miss the inane gallery of products dreamed up by the good people at SkyMall. Just like we'd never even consider eating airplane food while on the ground, we'd also never consider purchasing a $75 doormat which proudly announces "GRANDMA'S PUNKIN' PATCH," yet there we are, our lives on the line five miles in the air, mulling the executive two-speed shoe shiner, or the USB ice cream churner. Go ahead, make up your own SkyMall product in the comments. I'll be right there with you.

B-Roll Strip

And don't forget — the b-roll / "making-of" version of this strip posts two hours later in Tiers 2 & 3. Upgrade for a month to enjoy this and over 400 other upper-tier Achewood pieces!

Give the Gift of Bingeing Comics

It's never too late to give a gift a subscription to the Patreon to a friend or loved one or marginally respected colleague! It's dead easy: choose how many months you want to give, then get a link you can share with them. It won't auto-renew. This is an even better gift now that the archive is binge-able! (see next hot news item)

Read All Strips At Once

In case you missed it, I set up a Collection here in the Achewood Patreon called Read All Strips At Once. You can go in there and click straight through the archive, just like we used to in the old days, when the politicians' hair was brown and the burgers were turkey.
