great outdoor fight

So the best webcomic storyline evar just finished today. And surprise of surprises, it was not from Dominic Deegan (which is usually way ahead of the pack in terms of plot and character), but from the cult anti-humor strip Achewood.

I've learned to expect nothing from Achewood--that strip is about as predictable as a room full of schizophrenics--but Onstad's stark, original, and bizarrely poignant take on the nonexistent sport of mass outdoor hand-to-hand combat genuinely took me by surprise. Well done, Chris Onstad. Well done.

Goats's "Infinite Typewriters" story arc has something interestingly apocalyptic going on, too, but it's weird. Weird even for Goats. That's saying a lot.

Off to take that long-awaited walk. :D
