0175 — The Figurine, IV (Patreon)

NB: Lest there be any avenue of misinterpretation, my Latino heritage is a perpetual source of amusement and satisfaction to me, and a valued part of my worldview. We poke most affectionately at those we love.

I'm trying to derive a Newscaster Name Generator, but can't quite determine the formula. It seems to consist of a first name that an extraterrestrial observer would think sounded WASPy, and a last name that an extraterrestrial observer would think sounded either WASPy, or of a mythical European nation where the castles are very tall and skinny. Using this formula, or the one you already use, please submit your Newscaster Name in the comments.

If you are not from the USA, a WASP is a White Anglo Saxon Protestant, and the term is meant to suggest ectomorphic Northeastern squares in tennis whites, typically named Bunny or Chip, who have never seen a bottle of Tabasco.

B-Roll Strip

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! Or upgrade forever, and find your life vastly more entertained.

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.
