0181 — Lyle And Pat Lick the _____ of Destiny (Patreon)

This was intended to be yet another 2,500 word comic in which the nature of free will was laboriously discussed by two inebriates intent on dying of fatty liver in each new panel. However, a chance trip to the restroom — just the walking part, not the private stuff that occurs behind closed doors, of which you may well guess but never know the truth — popped the pivotal product title into my head, and this arc was forever altered. It's always the trip to the loo that gives me the juiciest career moves. But if I start just walking between my writing chair and the toilet all day, I worry the magic contained in that ritual will disappear. Such is the toil of an Author, fairly and fully shared with you here.

Many spicy outtakes and failed dialectics posting in two hours in Tier 2!

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.
