i think i have got just about the most thorough education on why Achewood is supposed to be funny and I still don’t get it. I think i’ll have to just accept I am just plain not the target audience.
i’m glad y’all like it but to me it’s like reading a printout from a random number generator.
Sure, I didn’t know 7 was going to be next. but so?
@zens i feel like achewood is one of those webcomics where the true value lies in knowing well of these characters deeply such that one short sliver of absurdity comes into a larger context for it
in short an inside joke you're not in on if you don't know who they are
@zens i think achewood is very niche and this is coming from a person who occasionally finds funny in jerkcity/bonequest
@mavica_again i have tried so many times to enjoy it.
@zens it's not for everyone!
i haven't followed jerkcity in years, but the other day someone posted her version of a strip that i remembered: exact same dialogue, same 1+3-panel format, but redone with Rachel, Victoria and one of the other girls from Life Is Strange
the additional context made it an order of magnitude funnier
@mavica_again i watched a whole ass video from someone who is the most enthusiastic about achewood as i have ever seen anyone be enthusiastic about anything. he carefully explained all the character traits, and why the big dad fight arc was so perfect for that character etc…
and i dunno i guess I’m just dead inside
