In this momentary departure from the story arc already in place, Lyle and Téodor come to strong words over the nature of psychopharmacological distraction. Professional readers will note that Lyle still wears his "Registered Asshole" glasses (title legally assigned August 27, 2007). Next week we return to the story already in progress.

Is there anything more Achewood than the third comic being a diversion from the arc?

Ben Wissett

Of COURSE Lyle has opinions about how using legal weed makes you a massive sell-out square gobshite

EndgamerAzari

Hell yeah, the best worst guy and the worst best guy are back! Which is which? I'll never tell!

Achewood

Exactly. I wanted it to feel like old times. But the next strip returns to the “Public Domain” arc.

Stavro

the answer? is yes!

Cf Duddy

As soon as Teodor said “elderflower” I knew we were in for a wild ride

Zen Window

I've never identified more strongly with T.

Lyle's ebay belly crawl comment takes this round. Sorry T

Bungus Bronbo

Getting high should make you miserable 100% of the time so when you do it to feel like you’re literally standing at the gates of hell, the boys know how hardcore you are

Captain Chaos

o7 Teodor you fought valiantly but the ebay sneakers dunk was a masterpiece.

Christian LeBlanc

I feel guilty for those Cure singles I bought online, I should have waited to travel and looked for them in a store.

Ian Macleod

Reading Lyle yelling about drugs feels like coming home to a warm bath. Achewood is back and things are looking up.

Benzy

Ok "I believe in gigantic central ironies" is going in my Twitter bio.

Eli Parker

Best one since the relaunch so far.

zoë

omw to Plato's Gremlin

Oppido

This feels like a record for most exclamation points in an Achewood strip.

Achewood

They’ve been saving up for a while

Omurice

I’d like Cornelius to weigh in on the state of drug adulteration during his salad days. Soviet veterinary solvent would have been a luxury.

Allie

Is it just me or has Lyle become more eloquent over the break? Dude's secretly been working on his English degree over the years it seems!

Achewood

It’s a function of the hour of the day. One hour later, he was spewing typos and half-digested marinara.

Malt Schlitzman

"no wonder god sends asteroids" is an unforgettable line, wow.

Steve McGuigan

This is legitimately an all time one off

Clench and Cheese

First it was the coffee, then it was a microbrews, now it's the weed. Portland leaves the world in preciousness. Also in getting your gas tank drilled for $5 worth of gas if you happen to drive a Toyota truck.

Allie

Haha, that absolutely checks out! Téodor caught him at his peak it seems xD

Achewood

Check out Lyle’s blog the time he got sober

Bungus Bronbo

Sometimes with Achewood I like to imagine the first panel and the last panel as its own mini comic. This one is pretty great.

Andrew

The entire last panel is worth a month’s Patre-fee.

Bexx

Not the J Crew Cunts! 😝

Andrew

Soviet veterinary solvent is the new Mexican brain detergent

Zack Hiwiller

Didn't expect Lyle getting metaphorical and philosophical.

lake

Love to see my boys…

Mae

theyre both right actually

AR

It's interesting how Lyle's glasses have gone from being coded as "the cheapest frames you can get at Optometry-4-Less" to now being the frames that hip young folks wear.

Don Rowe

The generational Discourse: A man very much in his sixties lecturing a man very much in his forties like the schoolmaster not yet grey scolding the pupil over an unbuttoned collar.

Oppido

I just reread the 2005 strip where Little Nephew sells T some "dried oregano" and I'm very curious about how Charley has weathered all these changes to his vocation.

Spooky Silver Eyeball

He's got a good point though. Drinking was fun when you're wandering around Southern Brooklyn in a daze, a bottle of warm rum in a paper bag, dodging cops and hanging out on park benches and closed playgrounds. Even when you're doing a wild house party where people are crushing cans. But when it's all like bar or restaurant... what's the point?

Chris Gumprich

Every strip has at least one or two lines destined to become classics. This one has around eight.

Yelahneb Unicornucopiax

Older folks love to brag about how they didn't use/didn't have seatbelts growing up and I'm like my dude none of your crew who fucked around and found out via this particular laisse-faire attitude towards basic physics is still around to offer a counterpoint, seeing as how they supermanned their way through a windshield back in '78

Mina Roller

I've lived long enough to be on both sides of this argument

honkycat

Those are the exact gummies I like to take.

Matt Mitchell

Brings back halcyon memories of “New West Turpentine Shakes” and “fuckin left coast power wimp”

JJ Baker

This is my drug. Pure grade gear right here.

Doctor Memory

Yup. Did we lose something in the transition to artisanal legal weed? Absolutely. Would I go back to the old days on a bet? Not on your goddamn life: I'm an old man and no aspect of my world would be improved by having to talk to a 17 year old drug dealer like some kind of animal or college student.

Doctor Memory

iIf they were lucky! More likely they ended up splattered against that really cool metal dashboard.

toby x

Took his head clean off with that one.

This is honestly probably the golden age. I strongly suspect people with more money than me are paying people smarter than me to develop "slow dependence subscription based happiness pharmaceuticals" which will be cosigned by Congress and encouraged in the workplace soon.

Lyle has a point about nearness to death being necessary for some of us to enjoy life. The nearness required varies greatly.

E Corcoran

Is there alt-text somewhere or am I missing it?

goingtoalaska

"no wonder god sends asteroids" is going straight to the top of the Responses To Minor Grievances list. i am savoring this strip like a fine wine. hooray, man!

GruntyGinMan

I don't think Patreon really supports alt texts, going by the previous discussions.

GruntyGinMan

Japan-Man is having a rough decade.

toby x

Lyle's waters run way deeper than you'd expect.

Jacquelyn R Walters

Lyle's blog is low-key the reason that Lyle might be my favourite character.

dmf 23

I feel like the notes under the strip are the new alt text, only better because there's a lil more room to stretch out

E Corcoran

Alt text is dead. Long live bottom notes

Nicholas Williams

Lyle's not wrong and also, from someone from a non legalized state, can you really just walk into a weed store and say "Hi I am going to see Floating Points tonight and I would like to feel perfect and not scared at all, and have the music sound even better" and they just hand you the exact right thing?

GruntyGinMan

I do not imbide(gun owner) but my understanding is that they straight up ask what you're looking for and recommend different strains. Some of the places are very boutique. I would be surprised if my state isn't going to run it through the ABC store system tho.

AuEllai

Yes, that's exactly what you can do. They have "budtenders" that'll help you find exactly what you're looking for as they all have like 100 different types.

Professor Hazard

as a fellow modern day highman (read: titty boy) I can confirm that all I want from Delta 8 is for it to make petting the cat feel like an electrified dream and for me to see the concept of living as doable

Vi Hermens

It‘s a hell of a sacrifice to make just to have fire sticks imho

Vi Hermens

Iconic. Achewood’s back baby!

sean stevens

I never considered this before, but he does have a bit of Al Swearingen about him, too

Julie (HiDeeHoGal)

When your coke was cut with powdered sugar and you'd get what was called 'icing drips' or when your opiates were full of xylazine...oh.

LowClarity

Teodor lived in ignorance with his little Saturday morning bad boys while Lyle was Happening

Whitney Wasson

man I just snapped back into sentience, too. Achewood is back, a plague is on, and I'm many years SOBER???? WHAT YEAR IS IT??? (I agree completely with Lyle, btw.)

Ari

God this one is so fucking good

RaleighTSakers

Lyle and his what eBay sneakers do you crawl towards has me now crying after how ever many years it just was since I saw him last
